But i the sales tax method is resort- ed to, it was said Presiaent Harding would view Wwith favor a tax on pro- duction rather than on general retail sales. The executive was said to favor this form, it was said at the White House, for it was, he belicved, the sim- plest form of this tax and would avoid problems of exemptions which would probably arise in case a general retail sales tax was decided om. Opposition to the sales tax proposal, however, was expressed in several quar- ters today. T. C. Atkeson, Washington representative of the national grange, characterized it as “designed to shift the burden of taxation from those most able to pay it, to_those least able to pay,” and Samucl Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, de- clared it would work ‘an injustice upon the whole peaple.” Mr. Atkeson outlh o Cha he was ned his views Inga man Fordney in whic grange had suggested the ¢ s tax for the bonus, and found inexpedient, “a tax| vied whieh will not be add- cost of living of the millions \ limited income.
