Tax boost favored over state sales tax in Iowa hearing
Des Moines April 4. Iowa manufacturers, jobbers and packers urged temporary millage tax increases for state revenue rather than a general sales tax or income tax. A tax commission was endorsed for permanent relief, while opponents condemned a proposed one tenth of one percent gross sales tax as unfair due to pyramiding and losses. Speakers suggested raising money without broad taxes, with many backing millage relief and a tax commission to study broader reform. Names of industry leaders from Des Moines Sioux City Marshalltown Davenport Mason City Burlington and others attended the Senate hearing.
