Sales Tax With Shelter
Exemption Is Explained
In Series of Short Articles, . 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.
