C Barnes Explains Details of His Proposal to Lighten Tax Burden on Workers No, 1. A Working Man Now Pays a 20 Per Cent Sales Tax on One-Fourth Ills Income, A general sales tax, when levied for the purpose of exempting shelter from taxation, corrects an economic error that has been persisted In too long, It la time we called & epade a spade. When a working man buys shelter It la a commodity just the same as any other of his necessities. When a tax la placed on this com modity shelter tt Is as much a sales tax as If It was Imposed upon his bread and meat, only five times as bad a tax, since there la Imposed at the same time with It an excess Intereat burden, the two burdens to gether making home ownership Im possible for the poor man. X am not going to discuss this heavier burden of Interest a working man must carry because of this un eoonomto tax, but will show Just what the direct burden amounts to. One-fourth of a worklngman's o tal annual expenditures for living ex penses goea for shelter. If a work Ingman earns M per day 91200 per year three hundred dollars of this he spends for shelter requirements. And here la the "nigger In the wood pile." Twenty per cent of this, or 80, goes for state, county and school taxes. So this working man, and every working man, pays a 20 por cent sales tax on this one-fourth M his annual expenditures. We pur pose ltnstead a 2 per cent sales tax on au his expenditures. Two per cent on 1200 is $24. Whloh Is the reavler burden, 680 collected In a lump sum as taxes (or monthly as rent) or $24 collected a few cents at a time? And here Is the tragedy of it. I find men who have opposed a sales tax all their lives who do not realize that a working man Is carrying this heavy burden of a 20 per cent sales tax on one-fourth of his expendi tures. This is a selective sales tax with a vengeance. It selects shelter, a working man'a prime necessity, and Imposes this 20 per cent burden in suoh an Insidious manner that Its lifelong opposers have never discov ered It existed and will not admit Its presence when It Is pointed out to them, but will raise their hands In holy horror when a proposal of a much leas tax Is made to abolish It. I contend this Iniquitous Mies tax on shelter Is the master criminal rf our time. It fosters usury, it de stroys homes, it Is the chief con tributor to unemployment In our state. It robs the hungry and Is de structive of our democracy In that It makes home ownership impossible for a great number of our citizens. Arithmetic Shows Why Republican Party Lost NEW YORK, Nov. 18 (AP) Rep resentative Hamilton Fish, Jr., used some arithmetic todsy to explain to a meeting or the Women s National Republican club Just why, In his op inion the republican party was de feated In the November 8 election. "There was nothing the Republi cans could have done to stave off defeat." aald Mr. Ftsh. "President Hoover made a gallant fight but was doomed." He then summed up aa follows what he said he believed were "the main causes" for the defeat. Fifty per cent depression. Twenty per cent desire of the vot ers for a change. Twenty per cent prohibition. Five per cent ousting of the vet erans from Washington by force. Five per cent miscellaneous. "This Is no time to cry about spill ed milk," Mr. Flnh added. "I have an abiding faith In the future of our party. We must put new strength, youth and leadership in the party." Mr. Fish was one of the republican candidates to emerge from the cam paign victorious. He was re-elected from the 23th New York congression al district.
