In other words the more inferior an, article of goods is the greater the tax is on 5t in proportion. A dollar in a pair of poor shoes, is worth far less than a dollar in a lair Osgood .shoes. A coIa ta-r aa a er-jumotionl tax pure and simple and John D. Rockefeller or Andrew W. Mellon would pay for less of this tax in proportion to what he consumed, than would an average tenant farmer in North, Carolina,. The leaders of the Republican, par tly have in-eatlv desired to replace thft high , income surtax and the excess profit tax with "this consumption sale tn tiA thev would have succeeded but for the firm opposition of r'-e farm Woe in Congress. The excess profit tax was eliminated and high surtax was 'reduced 15"per can, but the sales tax could muster only 25 votes, in the Senate against - the combined opposition of the Depaoerat ic and Republican farm Senator of the West , . ..

There, are over 600 employees In the Shipping Board whose salaries range all the way from x35,ooo to - f3,uw yearly. Some-', of the.' commoner clerks who are paid only' $1,200 In other departments get 15,000.
