REPUBLICANS DEFY TAX'LAW SECTION To Continue Exposing Levies | Consumer Pays, With Challenge to Farley. The Republican National Committee, fn a statement released by 1ts pup- licity department, declared vesterday 1t will continue to carry to the people the issue of hidden Federal taxes in prices paid for goods by consumers. It virtually challenged the Roosevelt administration to invoke a forgotten section of the tax laws whicn pro- hibits a merchant from stating to his customers the amount of tax wnich 1x carried in the prices for nis goods. “Will the New Deal now attempt to persecute the corner butcher for | telling the housewife how mucn of the cost of pork chops goes into New | Deal taxes?” the committee asked. “The Republican committee thinks not. It does not believe that the | Roosevelt-Farley regime will care to carry such an issue to the people, de- spite the Attorney General's \hreau.l It does not believe that the New Deal, despite the policy of mtim)dation.i coercion and regimentation which has been carried on for three long years. will have the temerity to prosecute any citizen for telling the truth about New Deal cosis.” Fear Campaign Charged. Commenting on this situation, Carl H. Cook, chairman of the Iowa Re- publican State Central Committee, | charges that Chairman Farley and his | New Dealers, frightened by the swing | to Landon, are launching a campaign of intimidation and fear. | “Long ago Farley promised that this | would be a dirty campaign,” Cook said. “Along with his dirt, Fariey 1s | throwing epithets which threaten nnes | and jail sentences to any mercnant | who dares reveal to his customers the | truth that the Government 1s collect~ ing from him Federal taxes in tne price of the commodities he buys. “It is evident that the New Dealers do not want to acquaint the taxpayer with the fact that $3 out ot every $» collected by the Federal Government in taxes are paid by the consumer | in the price of the commodiues pur- chased. “If it is wrong for the butcher to | post the amount of tax in a pound of meat, it is just as wrong tor tneaters | and filling stations to post tne tax ' on the price of their products. New Dealers have not been concernea about the latter postings,” Cook said. To Continue Drive. “They are concerned about the tax Ppostings on meat because they do not want the public to know the truth ‘The Republican party believes that the public is entitled to know the facts about the national expenditures and about the burdensome taxes resulting therefrom, and we propose to continue to enlighten the public on this tax question In so long as this a democ- racy.” The statement said President Roose- velt wrote to Roy W. Howard, head of # newspaper chain, that ‘“‘consumers taxes” had risen from 30 per cent to 60 per cent of the national revenue between 1929 and 1935. Fire Damage 25 Cents. Piremen estimated damage at 25 eents after an automobile fire which @ost taxpayers $100 at Boston, Mass. Director NAMED BY FARLEY FOR FINANCE POST. CAM D.
