SALES TAX COMMENT
NOAEZ ON “TEAL CARPET
When two ratthe srakes were wrigsling
Over your old cedar piank,
Heads erect and taiis aquiver.
Eooking sleek and siim and swank,
Why did you not tren and trere.,
Grab elub and Kzi! the paix? a

had but ome fiy,

When you only
And each horse
Why did you protect those
As the dripping Gaw,ws passed by?
Why did you not with a swatter,
Knoek them both izto the water?
When two mice, imtent on mischief,
Chéewed your quilts and linmenm sheets,
And devoured your hem stitched towels,
Confusion resulting from the sudden imposition of a
state 214 per cent retai sales tax is gradually being ironed out
in the opinion of many California Editors.
Realization that the new state levy will be reflected in
lower county taxes also is believed to assure its popularity
with owners of réal property.
“To be sure, the merchant can absorb this tax,” said the
Santa Ana Register, “‘but in many cases this would take his
entire profit, or force him possibly further into the ‘red’ than .
he is now going in other cases. We had expected that the
~ public generally would take to it quite happily, as they voted ;
for amendment number one, after a thorough discussion and
an explanation that it would probably mean a three per cent
‘sales tax. We are afraid some people didn’t quite understand
what a sales tax meant. They are understanding now.”
“While it is the intent of the law that the tax should be
passed on to the consumer,” remarks the Napa Daily Register, “‘it is the belief of most officials that the phrase ‘insofar
as the same is possible’ cannot be interpreted as mandatory
and that the merchant who elected to absorb the tax would
not be violating the law. While the Board of Equalization is
willing to cooperate in devising means of passing on the tax,
Just by way of special treats,
Why did you not set some traps
For those little mibDbliings chaps?
When your dogs with vim amd -vizgor,
Scratched, each ome. His omiy fica,
You were lazy, Noab darlim’”.
Leastwise, so it seems to me-:
Why did you not with egreat care,
Sprinkle buhach om -the pair? ’
Why did’you preserve two hornets,
Two red ants, two missines bu2s?
Two of every thim=> that bites us,
Spoils our food am@ chews ower russ;.

the burden of collection is entirely that of the merchant. It is .
hoped that some means can be devised,. possibly by the use
of stamps, whereby stores making mostly small sales, will
be able to collect the levy.”’
“The danger in-the sales tax situation,’ comments the
Porterville Evening Recorder, “is that a few merchants might
seek advantage by absorbing the tax. If one merchant in a given community, or trading area, absorbs the tax, those in the
same competing line would be forced to do likewise, and the
_result would be that dealers, in some lines at least, would have
to shoulder the whole sales tax burden.”
Declaring that tax burden was not reduced by the act, the
Pixley Enterprise adds:
“History records that when county costs have been transferred to the state, the reduction in county levy never equals
the amount transferred, and should history repeat itself in
the case of the recent shift in the source of school funds, then
the total tax bill of the community will be larger.”
Regarding county tax cuts, the Berkeley Daily Gazette
states:
“If public opinion is going to be brought to bear upon
boards of supervisors in order to influence them in passing on
to property owners whatever benefits may accrue through
the transfer of certain schcool tax levies from the counties to
the state, it is time for the public to begin to voice its demands .
for such relief. Increased demands upon counties, largely because of heavy drains for indigent relief, are going to make
boards of supervisors more reluctant than ever to cut tax
rates.”
“But,”? according to the Riverside Daily Press, “when the
semi-annual tax statements are received and a sizeable decrease is noted in the real estate levy the wailings will turn to
rejoicings. The unhappy. owners of real property, who have
had te bear a crushing burden while those fortunate individuals who owned neither land nor buildings blithely escacped
paying the costs of government operation, will discover that
much of the tax load has been removed.”

THE MANAGED DOLLAR
A few months ago the most talked-about subject of them
all was inflation. Then it practically dropped out of the day’s
s news. 'oThe Presi he wanted,
y"
“news: The Presi hackney sive, the Re Pay
‘and nothing:drastic happened,” It looked as if t
Now inflation is preparing to take its place in the headlines again. The Administration's desire for a “managed dolJar” has not abated; it was simply shelved for a time while
other and more pressing matters were being handled. A managed dollar is one which, in‘terms of buying power, does not
deviate in value; it will buy as many eggs, automobiles, suits
of clothes and what-not one year as the next. Our present
kind of dollar is constantly deviating. Where its buying power, on the basis of a fixed normal, was sixty or seventy cents
at the height of the boom, it rose to $1 .50 at the low in commodity prices we reached last summer and fall.
The President has two courses open in inflating the
currency. Most obvious course is to lower the gold content
of each dollar. Then by varying it from time to time, the
dollar will theoretically possess a constant value, and will be
ae immune to important variations. Another course is to order
_.* the Federal Reserve to buy large blocks of government secur"ities in the open market, thus expanding the Federal credit.
‘his would not create a stable dollar; it would, however, be tre-‘mendously helpful in providing a market for new Treasury se-. Opponents of inflation say that the managed dollar is a
sn dream, which is impossible of realization, and point
rous effects of extreme inflation in Germany and
~ Administratior spokesmen say that miscarriage of
