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 we fight with old Depression. sr = er A. MERRIA™ CONNER. 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.” emmne ¥ 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 ‘called upon in the near future to aid STATE TO HALT TAX PROFITEERS SACHA. > us.
