Anti-Sales Taxers Seek
Return To Property Tax
(Continued Irom rage 0»e.)
antis are proposing is that the fran
chise tax as applied to foreign cor
porations shall equal about $6, or four
Limes the present rate. Under the
listing law foreign corporations now
pay to the State under the $1.50 levy
a total of $711,796. Under the new
plan they would pay an additional
*2,344,249, or a total of $3,056,015.
Domestic corporations, now contri
buting $1.50 per SI,OOO of net worth
determined by adding their capital
Hock, surplus and undivided profits,
now pay a total of $706,230. The new
evy would mean that their $1.50 rate
vould be. in effect, raised to approx
mately $4.50, or three times as much
is the present rate. The increased col
cction. amounting to $1,488,261, would
be obtained hy collection of a tax of
one-half of one per cent of the as
iessed value of property held by do
ncstic corporations without the ap
plication of the net-worth clause.
I'hus domestic corporations would
>ay in franchise taxes a grand total
•f $2,281,191, or about three times as
much as now.
Although, when analyzed, the in
creased levies on corporations means
simply an increase in the franchise
ax it would constitute as a policy
l return to the property tax insofar
as corporations are concerned. Cor
jorations, both foreign and domestic
will fight the measure along the line.
Prominent legislators, ctosely allied
with the State administration, were
juick to point out that the anti-sales
axers’ program was based on 1931
igures which was. they say. a. banner
year for tobacco compnies and other
corporations. As a result, collected
axes ran to a figure far above nor
mal. They counter also with the claim
that corporations are not now mak
ing profits as they did in 1931. and
add that many corporations have
since gone out of business. Pursuing
their contentions, they maintain that
because of the number of corporations
as well as profits, have declined, by
pushing tax-collections up to near
1931 levels would prove disastrous to
business. They also cited the fact that
franchise taxes h/ve been greatly in
creased in the past few years and se
riously doubt, they say. whether or
not <!rporations can bear the pro
posed tax load.
Observers here who had predicted
a short session of the 1935 legislature
were quirk to revise their estimates
when the anti-sales taxers presented
their plans. Presentation of the plan
mmans, of rour.-e, that just that aiuoii
more time will he consumed in con
sidering the proposed new levies, the
ramifications, complications, and con
clusions of which the far-reaching. It
will be some time before legislative
minds have fully digested the sub
stitute program. Still longer will it
take to actually adopt a program of
taxation, whether it is the present re
venue bill or the proposed substitutes.

three per cent sales tax with the
exemptions removed.
This was the opinion expressed here
today by several members of both
finance committees, who have already
been studying the McDonald-Lump

be in close touch with the other mem
bers of the committees, as well as by
several members of the General As

Sonne of the new taxes proposed
may be adopted in modified form, so
as to increase the yield of the pre

$3,000,000 a year, some members agree.
But very r few believe there is any
chance for the entile plan calling for
additional taxes amounting to $12.-

finance committees or the assembly
as a whole. Many frankly express the
opinion that it would be disastrous to

•be State as well as to domestic and
foreign corporations to boost the
taxes on them to $1,682,679 a. year, as
is proposed in the new franchise tax
plan. wHiilc they are now' paling only
about 31,500,000. The proposal to get
another $4,211,591 from occupational
taxes is also regarded as being out
of the question, owing to the difficul
ty' of collecting this tax from at least
500,000 individuals.
While the proposal to levy a six per
cent tax on the net income from di
vidends or stocks is meeting with a
good deal of approval in some quar
ters, there are two difficulties in the
way of the adoption of this tax. One
is the difficulty of its collection. The
other is that, while the tax may be,
collected for one. the owners of this
stock can easily transfer it to other
states after that time ana thus escape
payment of t lie tax. This pin would
•also require the payment of the six
per cent tax on stock and dividends
even if a previous state tax had al
ready been paid on it by the bank,
firm or corporation paying the di
vidends to the individual stockhold
ers. As a result, this plan is expect
ed to be rejected eventually by both
the finance committees and the as

Since this proposed change in the
tax on insurnce compnics would tend
to disci inminate against companies

a hardship on them as compered with
foreign companies, even this tax is
not expected to he approved.
D is expected, however, that the

of a heavier tax on merchants and

I There is some talk of putting a tax
of two-tenths of one per cent on mer

on wholesalers, in addition to the

There are also indications of a
growing sentiment in favor of in

in the present franchise tax on for
