The retail sales tax is a plan to levy a tax upon only one sale—the final sale to the consumer. It eliminates sales of capital assets and sales of services. This tax might pre- sent great difficultfes in administration in determinisg what are retail sales, or sales for consumption or use. Such a tax would probably be an additional tax, to-which would be added the pyramided profits.tax of ali the preceding handlers of the goods. The rate would necessar- ily be high, if large revenues were Te- quiretl. ‘and the princinle of protecting the consumer would be violated. The cost of administration of this tax, be- cause of the unreliability of making re- turns by various classes ot retailers, would be very high. In all probability this tax would be much higher than the ated average of 3 1-2 per cent. of mplicity tax. ns—In favor, b 98; opposed, 31; 6.
