Koonts-McGhee Drug Co. owner J. T. McGhee asks if a ten percent federal sales tax is wise, arguing it shifts tax burden to clerks and merchants and would raise prices. Local attorney Walter Crissman says a 10 percent tax adds to existing taxes and could hinder purchases, while American Bible Society official Dr. Francis Carr Stifler notes wartime scripture distribution grows with mobilizations.
