New York Chamber Pushes 2 to 5 Percent Sales Tax
W J Schieffelin Jr for the New York State Chamber of Commerce urges the Senate Finance Committee to draft a new revenue bill with a graduated sales tax 2 to 5 percent on all articles, arguing funds are needed even if a post election bill is required. He criticizes Morgenthau tax plans as shielding voters and calls for broader personal tax impact. He also backs strict limits on profits from war production, proposing repeal of contract renegotiation powers and a general war profit cap.
