FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 1982.
It it apparent that we are not going to have a tales tax, at
feast, from th» Masha ofcongress. ^omeare mourning over this
«fating the need of balancing tbe national budget and
' Tbe aatkta b Wa bad financial condition tôt two reatona;
it has aver bean became war is always expensive and we loaned
bfen^bfe to cdUect, second, government expenses have not been
reduced or readjusted to the lessoned costs of the last three years.
We rilust either stop giving moratoriums to foreign countries
and devise some means of collecting what is due us or we muft
pay therost of oar part of the war and our allies’ share as well.
To do th!« we will have to raise in taxes more than we have raised
at any time before in our history. Congress would be in a better
position* to demand larger taxes from the people if it first had
lowered government expenditures to conform with the present
trend of economy. Several millions must be saved in government
expense before large taxes of any kind will be acceptable to tax
payers. -

.
It seems to this paper that the s$les tax should be the very
last resort as a means of raising great sums of money. A tax on
tbe transfer of stocks would raise no small sums of money and
serve as a damper on excessive tradings that often tend to depress
market for commodities without justification. A 5 percent tax on
theatre tickets below a certain ,sum and a larger tax on higher
priced ones would aid in the search for government finances. A
tax on the luxurious automobiles, expensive jewelry and such
baubles of the rich would yield some returns. The exemptions in
the income tax law gives every family of any size approximately
$200 per month free of taxes. The rates on incomes of five to
