Davies Sees Hope in Trade Outlook for Iowa
Special to The Gazette Iowa City Professor George R. Davies reports in the University of Iowa Business Digest that while the national recession shows signs of leveling off, Iowa business still declines vs last year. He calls for compromise between business and political leaders and notes mixed signals from wealth concentration debates. He cites a 1936 87 comparison showing a moderate annual gain of about 5 to 6 percent in Iowa business.

Iowa seeks court action to collect use tax on mail order sales
State Tax Chairman Louis E. Roddewig said he has asked the attorney general to file suit against a large merchandising company to compel collection of the two per cent Iowa use tax on mail order purchases. The measure, passed by the last legislature, taxes goods bought outside Iowa for use in the state. The chairman cited a customer slip indicating the company’s stance against collecting the tax and noted the board seeks judicial determination of the law’s constitutionality. The act also requires the buyer of a new automobile to pay the use tax to the county treasurer before license plates are issued.
