Second-Hand Dealers to Fay Tax
Used car dealers, used furniture,
dealers, used radio dealers, and dealers
in other kinds of second-hand mer-J
chandise, are due !- collect arid pay !
the throe per cent, general sales on
i such sales. Harry McMul'an, director
j of assessments and collections of the j
J Department of Revenue, states. j
j Mr. McMulJari has been informed |
thai second-hand dealers in such
merchandise have not been collecting
or reporting the sales tax on secondhand
articles, but announces that
such dealers will be checked for liability
on such sales. From chcck-ups
already made it is disclosed that the
liability of two dealers hail not been
collected or repented, ho announces.
'The only instance in which a sale
of a second-hand automobile or other
second-hand merchandise is not taxable
is in C3se such second-hand or
used article has been taken in part
payment for the sale of a new article
of merchandise and the full tax
paid on the sale of the new article."
Mr. McMullan says. "In such ca3e
the merchant must keep an accurate
record of the second-hand articles taken
in trade, name of the customer,
date acquired and when sold, the date j
M sale. Otherwise, tlie sales of the i
I s cond hand articles will be subject, j
to tax.
"Dealers in motor vehicles who sell;
the cars or trucks used for demonstration
to their salesmen, are liable
for the salts tax. Dealers who sell
the demonstration cars or trucks to
outsiders, after being used for dem onstration
purposes, become liable for{i
he sales tax in making such sales.
The fact that an automobile or any j
other property has been used does i
not prevent it from being liable fori
the sales tax if sold by the dealer,"!
Mr. McMullan states.

Highway Signs May lie Destroyed
ff highway signs on private property,
often described as eyesores, can
be classed legally as nuisances, then
there is no question of the authority
of the police power of the State to
destroy tinne, but when the main idea |
is destruction unless a privilege tax1
is paid, the question of taking prop- j
; crty without due process of law is J
j raised
j Therefore, A. A. F. Scaweii, assistjant
attorney general, advises a test!
' suit to establish the authority grant-)
! e j in the stat ute to destroy such;
1 signs as are not labeled as having had j
\ the tax of ?1 each paid thereon, in ai

j Works Commission,
j "You have called my attention to I
I Section 151 of the Revenue Act of
(1133, authorizing the removal of a:lverttsemenst
and signs along the high
way, when the State revenue tax has
not been paid thereon. The question
! presented to me is whehter the tmi
ployees of the State Highway and:
1 Pi iblic Works Commission may re-.
'move or dsetroy such signs, on which i
i the lax has not been paid, either up-1
on the 'right of way' of the State1
highways, or from private properly j
along the road adjacent to the high-;
ways. ,
"There i3 no question, of course, as j
to the right of removal when the. of-!
feuding sign is on the right of way.!
But the authority of this statute
might be questioned when we come to
the summary destruction or removal
of signs erected or established on private
property by contract between
the owners of such property and the
advertiser.
Tf the advertising matter is treated
as a nuisance, and is the removal
or destruction of the signs could be!
sustained, to the exercise of the po- j
lice power there could iv> ' -

To what extent the statute may involve
the exercise of police power is,
however, a matter of serious consideration,
inasmuch as it appears to
precede only upon the idea of the collection
of revenue. Still, instances are
not wanting where laws have been
I upheld, wnich authorize the destruction
of property involved, where there
have been a failure to pay a privilege
tax. The question here is whether or
not private property can be invaded
for 3uch purpose. It raises the quesr
tion as to whether nr not this would

of law.

President's Mother in Ti

*5NEW
YORK: . . . Herewith io sho
ing picture of the President's mother
Roosevelt greeting. The picture was
parties which slio attended here in
the Warm 8prings Foundation fun
8bown Maj.-Gcn. Dennis E. Nolan.
The W eek in
Washingtonj D. C\ If these weekly
reports on the state of the nation
seem somewhat one-sided, the' answer
is that -.hero is only cue side to the
picture presented here. Everything
bears the Roosevelt brand, and that
goes for Congress as well as for all
the long list of alphabetical commissions,
bureaus and "administrations,"
' )gir.itir,g with AAA and running
'own to r\VA.
Thus far there has developed only
one disagrccmoiit. cnO that a comparatively
slight one. between tl'.e
Presiiifcni and the Congress. Congress
Weiiiv-h to beep the CWA going and
the President wanted to "taper off"
this Govermncnt-supported employment
of {milieus of men ant! women
iXi what are vaguely termed "Civil
Works."
Voice of the Voters
The word that iv.ntes to .Senators
and members from the l'olhs back
home is that while business men genv.liy
don't think much of CWA and
ir iny farmers are complaining unit
they can't hire help at reasonable
wages because they i, the farmers)
want men to do real work and not
merely look at a shovel for 30 cents
and hour, the voters are for it.
But while Congressmen do not want
lo vote against anything which might
cost them voles next election, they
are still less eager to take an all.iiude
wiiivh woohl -.-.itairdy enst them
their seats. And they are convinced
practically every man Jack of them
Republicans and Democrats alike
that to oppose the President's policies
in any respect would do jus:
thai. I-et any one of them, even i
Republican from a rock-ribbed Republican
district, or what used to be regarded
as such, open his month ir
criticism of the Roosevelt nnwMm
i O*
vote against a Presidential measure
and the mails and tele-graph Wired
make his life, a burden for the oexi
week.
They Wait on F. It.
Men with long experience, amo:
thorn some of the foremost lead
in. Congress, who usually can tell ui
advance what is going to happen next
are utterly at sea. All they can say,
in answer to questions as to the legislative
problem, is, "We haven't heard
yet what the President wants." Thus,
a short time ago it was being predicted
Ivy no less a personage than
Speaker Rainey that there would be
no legislation tc regulate stock and
commodity exchanges, at this session.
Since then Mr. Rainey has talked
with the President. Now he thinks
there will be some such bill. Congress
is not drawing it up, however,
it is waiting for the Administration
officials to draft it and send it to the
Kill.
All attempts to organize opposition
to the Administration and the
Democratic Party have proved futile
so far. Former Secretary of the
Treasury Ogden Mills is the only important
voice that lias been raised in
protest. Mr. Mills' speech was expected.
by old-line Republican party workers.
to be a sort of rayying cry which
would bring an instantaneous response
from the four corners of the
Nation, and crystallize Repuuiiean
sentiment into something like effective
Opposition. It had no such effeci
The very men who were relied upon
to back up Mr. Mills and encourage
the effort to reorganize the Republican
party not only failed to come
to the rescue but some of them
thought it was ill-advised for Mr.
Mills to make such suggestions at
this time.
Kyes on Pennsylvania
Nothing could illustrate better how
is so clear, however, we do not feel
that we can conscientiously advise
that its provisions may not be carried
out. X think thi3 matter ought
to be decided by a test case brought
for that purpose, and T will be glad
to talk, this suggestion over at your
convenience."
