"I have just computed what the pro posed one per cen sales tax would mean to two clients of which I have knowledge." says Mr. Cosper. "In one case a man during the last four years paid a total of $4000 in income and excess profits tax. Under the sales tax plan thia man would have had to nay a total of 14300 and the worst oftis it is that, he would have had to pvjan increase in prices because each j that tax no matter whether he made time a commodity is handjed a 'one i any money of not. , j per cent tax is added. Hence the pur-j "In another case a man who paid chaser will eventually have to foot the an income tax of $4.20 would have had entire Ujc. At the present time a fam- to pay J2200 in sales tax had the sales; tax plan been in vogue. The argument behind the proposal , al tax.
