SALES TAX TALK (St. Augustine Record) For the first time in history a state has totally abolished state taxes on real es- tate and personal property by substituting a general sales tax. The state tax commis- sion of Illinois has voted to do this because Daily Cross-word Puzzle POCOOOSOEDCO COO DEODESODESCORSeCCTECESOCEM ee COR! ACRO:S 1. Garden imple- ment 4. Bird of the iv .

The income for the first six months was devoted to relief of the needy and un. employed. Effective, Sanuary 1, 1934, the income will remain in the general fund, The annual income derived from the sales tax is estimated at $36,000,000. Other states that have sales tax laws are Missis- |? sippi, Michigan, Indiana, New York, Ari- ,zena, North Dakota, Utah, North Carolina, West Virginia, California and Washington. In most cases the sales tax has eliminated the need for increased property taxes, “There is active sentiment in New York for a sales tax rate of two percent, the in- i come to be used largely to retire bonded indebtedness of cities, villages and town- ships as well as that of the state. Leaders in Massachusetts are advocating a_ sales tax of two percent, the income also to be largely distributed among cities and small units of government. Announcements have also been made | in New Jersey and Virginia. that sales tax laws will be urged when the “legislatures convene. ties Sales tax advocates claim that a real estate tax is a tax on the man who plants roots and seeds in the ground and makes things grow, namely a tax on production; while a sales tax is a tax on consumption, each man paying according to his ability to buy. While Florida’s legislature having submitted to the people for ratification a constitutional amendment homesteads, business men, including mer- chants, are wondering how high rents will go if business property has to bear the bur- den of taxation now carried by home own- ers, it being cited that the average retailer rents or leases his place of business rather than owning it. Qpponents of the sales tax fear the creation of many new jobs and endless red tape in collection, but there are legisla- tors at work on plans for collecting the salés taxes in much the same way that the gasoline tax is collected, it being pointed out that the gas tax is a:sales tax, easily and economically collected, with the result that it has been called ‘the most ‘Popular of all taxes.” In Florida realty has been taxéd to the point that the ownership of property is regarded by many as unprofitabley Ec- onomic observers believe Florida is now ready fora great era of prosperity if real estate should again become alive. In spite of the active opposition of the governor and-some legislators, there is a growing sentiment in the state for a sales tax and its consequent relief of real estate. WILHELM THE PIOUS Former Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany, who will be 75 years old on January 27, is said to'-have become deeply religious of late. In his exile at Doorn, Holland, he lives..a most aystere life, with devotional "exercises-occupying much! of ‘his daily routine. According to reports, he reads the Bible the first thing in the morning and has religious services at 8. The afternoon is largely devoted to the reading of reli- gious books, while the evening is marked by a season of prayer. He attends services at a local church with unfailing regularity, an odd feature of which is that he writes many of the ser- mons which the pastor afterward preaches to him. All this is in striking contrast with the characteristics which the world saw in the rather arrogant war lord of a few years} ago, although Wilhelm always professed to be on friendly terms with the Deity.. An! American admiral once got in bad by satirizing the then Kaiser in a poem called “Me and God,” in which Wilhelm was rep- resented as claiming a partnership in which he gave the Almighty second place. Anyway, the Kaiser is a good boy now, and at the age of 75 is not likely to fur-| ther endanger the peace of thé world.
