By the Associated Press, Estimates based on Government, figures show that if the administra- tlon's proposed tax on raw sugar were passed on to consumers it would raise the average person's sugar bill a lithle more than 75 cents a year. President Roosevelt, Secretary Wal- lace and Congressmen supporting the tax plan, designed to finance benefit payments to producers, have declared the tax would not be passed on but would be borne by processors or others who handle sugar before it finally reaches the consuming public. Opponents of the tax, including H. E. Miles, chairman of the Fair Tariff League, said, however, that the cost % the consumer would be increased. Quota Bill Provides Levy. Provisions for the levy were in- cluded in a bill to set up & quota system to stabilize the domestic sugar industry. The system would deter- mine the amount of raw sugar to be produced by domestic growers and the amount to be shipped into the oountry by the off-shore producing areas, such as Cuba, Hawail and Puerto Rico. The tax proposed was three-fourths of & cent a pound on raw sugar. The | administration estimated this would | yield an annual revenue of $100,000,- 1000, of which $55,000,000 would go into benefit payments for mainland producers and those in Hawaii and | Puerto Rico. | The proposed raw sugar tax is | equal to about eight-tenths of a cent a pound on refined sugar, and since the country's per capita consumption of refined sugar last year was about 96 pounds, experts figured that if the consumer paid the tax, either directly or indirectly, his yearly sugar bill would be raised about 75 cents Representative Cummings, Demo- crat, of Colorado, sugar-beet grower and chairman of the House sugar bloc, said there was “no use to worry about a tax, even if the consumer paid it all” Contends Price Is Lo.s. He argued that sugar, retailing at about 5 cents a pound, is the cheap- est food available when evaluated in | terms of energy produced. The pub- | lic, he added, could stand a “reason= able” increase in price, because the annual individual sugar bill is low when compared with other food costs. Proponents of the tax said the | refiner would find it difficult to pass | the tax on to the public, even if the Government permitted him to do so. They cited Government figures | showing t most sugar is consumed in the form of prepared confections, candies, pastries and other commere day at 8 pm. for the benefit of the | i) association.
