The Seattle Star Podttehed Dafty by The Star Publishing On, Phone Main 600 Newspaper Raterprine Association and United Pras Sarvice President Harding is wrong! Congress should NOT pass a sales tax thw to raise money to pay the bonus to the veterans of the world war. The sales tax is inequitable, unjust, economically un- - gound. Like the poll tax, it lays the heaviest burden on the little fellow. It lets the very rich escape with a very small tax and it makes the small wage earner dig down deep. It is all wrong. * * & aes Maybe you are lucky enough to have a job and a family. Do you know what the sales tax would do to A sales tax means that out of every dime you spend, @ part goes to the government. The manufacttrer won't pay the tax for you. The jobber and the wholesaler will mot pay it. The retailer will pass it on, and YOU, the consumer, will PAY. If it takes every cent you are making to keep your family you'll be paying a larger percentage of your earnings in sales taxes than the man with an income of $100,000 a year and a big limousine. For you have next to nothing left after paying living expenses, while the $100,000-a-year man has left the bulk of his income. If you earn $1,200 a year and it takes $1,200 a year for your family expenses, the sales tax gets a percentage of ALL your $1,200. ; If you earn $100,000 a year, you may spend $25,000 _ a@ year for living expenses, byt you have $75,000 left and you pay a sales tax on the $25,000 or on one-fourth of your intome. i The sales tax is economically unsound because it does -not collect from all of us according to our ability to pay, or according to the wealth we have. It is wrong because _ it places the heaviest percentage of burden on the people least able to bear it. * # - | * A sales tax isn’t needed. CHARM AY, MARCH 14, 1922. Am I #0 very Itke my aunt?
