Sales Tax Debate Opens With Collier Plan to Committee
Washington December 30. Representative Collier said he would give the Ways and Means Committee a chance to pass on a general sales tax proposal next Wednesday while stressing full opportunity to consider all proposed taxes. The McLeod one and three quarters percent levy on manufactured products is under review, with Collier opposed to a sales tax. Also to be considered are a 72 million dollar stamp tax plan, a one percent gross income levy, and a tobacco tax increase. The gasoline tax of one cent per gallon would continue through 1933. Vinson reported a study finding 326 instances of duplicate taxation and a US tax burden nearer 9.4 billion than 14 billion, due to expenditure figures used to reach the higher claim.
