9 THE BUU: OMAHA. KKIDAY, MARCH -5. 1921. Says Sales Tax fill Solve U. S. Revenue Problem Market, Financial and Industrial News of the Day Prominent Jurist Cites Success Of System in Philippines; Farmers Convinced Plan Is Equitable. -in i By HOLLAND. Lebbeus R. Wilfley, now a mem ber of the New York bar, but for merly attorney general of the Philippine islands and later judge of the consular court at Shanghai, Chin!, is persuaded that were con gress to enact a small tax upon all gross sales of goods, wares and mer chandise of the kind commonly called a sales tax, then much of the needed revenue will be secured and almost all, if not entirely all, of the annoyances, unjust burdens and :n equalities which are associated with the present tax law would be ended. Judge Wilfley is especially quali fied for advocating a sales tax by reason of his personal knowledge of the practical operation of the sales tax in the Philippine Islands. At the time when he was attorney gen eral the government was brought face to face with a crisis m taxation and in finance. After much study of the question it was proposed to levy a sales tax. This proved to he unpopular. The people in the Phil ippines were opposed to it and dem onstrated their opposition in an em phatic manner. , Tax Successful. Every one of the arguments which have been employed by those who oppose a. sales tax in the United States were also employed in the Philippines with intent to resist suc cessfully the enacting of a tax la of this kiiid. But the law was en acted. It has been upon the statute book for 16 years, and Judge Wil fley said it had been so successful from every point of view that it is now collected without a murmur from the taxpayer. In fact the gov ernment is now contemplating in creasing the tax to 2 per cent. Mr. Houston, who was secretary of the treasury In the last year of,. Presi dent Wllaon'i administration, havftis; had his attention brought to the adoption of the sales tax In the PhlllDPlnea. caused official Inquiry to be made of the Philip rise government, so that be might learn whether the tax was really In auocessful operation there. In reply to his Inquiry the statement was made that "the sales tax Is the most satisfactory, accurate, economical, productive, and equitable tax In our ayatem." When the suggestion was made two or three years ago by Otto H. Kahn that rongress provide for collecting a small tax levied upon every sale of commodities, he went so far as to any that his care ful study of the subject Justified him In predicting that If a tax of that hind were levied It would go far towards pro ducing all revenue needed by the govern ment. 8ome of the professional economists protested, saying that a tax of that kind would cause endless difficulties and would be 'a source of great embarrassment t merchants, who would be obliged to col lect It upon every sale. League Organised. In order to overcome the opposition which was at first created by the propo--sltlon that a sales tax be levied, the Tax League of America was Incorporated. Its advisory board contains some of the ablest merchants and bankers of the United States. It waa a success from. Its organ isation. Undoubtedly it la partly due to this league that a change In sentiment respecting this tax has taken place. , In fact that change Is now acknowledged by Senator Watson and la recoenlzert Kv Son. ator Smool who Is reported to have com pleted a draft of a tax measure of this kind which will be brought to the atten tion of congress son after that body. Is organised In April. Judge Wilfley said thla morning that rublic opinion Is almost unanimous in opposition to the excess profits tax and to the excessively high sur-taxes. In this opinion he Is supported by Thomas V. Lamont who recently characterized these " dead hand upon business." The proposed sales tax appeala to many Intelligent persons is an excellent sub stitute Jor some of the schedules In the tax law which are now upon the "statute book. It Is simply a trifling tax. on, the sale of goods at the moment of the transfer of the property from the sell er to the buyer. Of course, it Is collect ed and remitted to the government by the merchant, but Is paid by the purchaser. It Is paid exactly as the purchaser of Imported commodities pays the tariff, be cause the tariff upon these commodities Is added to the price of the article, -Tax Absolutely Equitable. Furthermore, the tax Is spoken of as being absolutely equitable. Everybody pays an amount proportionate to his pur chases. The revenue will be constantly flowing Into the Treasury department. Hudge Wilfley auggests the tax be not over 1 per cent on all turn-over and ia persuaded that It will yield not less than 12.000.000,000 and possibly a much at 14,000,000.000 annually. At ene time the farmers' organizations Vers opposed to a sales tax. But these organisations have now, changed theelr view and ara reported to favor tlv tax because they are convinced it is a fair ayatem of taxation. Articles of luxury which command high prlcee will yield a much larger amount than articles that are necessaries ef life, which, every one must buy, but the payments are propor tionately the same, and alLIn each in stance, are so small as scarcely to be noticed. The Impression grows that con. ress Is likely to l"cor,Pratih. tax provision In any tax law which may be enacted.

The vig orous recovery of the day before was not sustained on the stock ex change today. With some irregular ity the movement of prices was again downward, and with all but fairly numerous exceptions, the stock market as a whole closed low er. Most of the day's declines were only fractional, but the general trend was evident. Under existing circumstances, this is no surprising sequel to such a movement as Wednesday s and does not impair any conclusions reasonably drawn from the previous day's recoveries. As yet, nothing has visibly changed in the general situation, whereas, a day of extensive repurchases of stocks sold for the decline would raturally have decreased the Induce ment for immediate and urgert buy ing. But the evidence of uncertain ty as to their own position, in the minds of recent speculative sellers, remains. The Bank of England did not lower ft official discount rate today: It Is pretty safe to say that nobody In Wall street, at any rate, expected that It would. Thn maintenance of so high a rata as 7 per cent for nearly a full year (it was established on the 16th of last April, and has not been changed since then), la practically without precedent. A high er rate was fixed In the London panics of 1873 and 1866, when 8 and 10 per cent, respectively, was charged during a priod of weeks, but there were only two to stxmcnths on either occasion-In which ton bank rate waa continuously kept ns hlch as that which now prevails. Classified statement of our February foreign trade by origin-and destination shows just where the heaviest shrinkage occurred which brought our total exports, last month, $165,000,000 below January ;and $155,000,000 under - February, 1920. Compared with a year ago, we sent $142, 900,000 less to Europe, but only $10,100, 000 less to Asia and $1,600,000 less to South America. But our February Im ports of merchandise from Europe de creased - $51,700,000; from Asia. $74,800. 000, and -from South America, $41,100,000. H Is a rather striking fact that we sent to Germany $21,000,000 more than in the previous February and Imported $1,000, 000 more from there, whereaa our ex? porta to Oreat Britain decreased $76, "00.000 and our Imports of English mer chandise. $32,900,000.

A fair amount of liquidation was on In grains with prices down to the lowest of the season and with liberal buying for profits and to even up for the noli day tomorrow. Breaks ran into buy ing orders while bulges brought out liberal selling and failed to hold in the extreme. News in the t main favvored a continuation of Mower prices but sentiment was less bear ish and at the close sales of wheat futures were at net sains of 2 3-8c on March and 1-c on May. while corn was 1 -8c higher, oats 1-8 to J-8c un with May loading, rye 1-2 to 3-4c higher and barley unchanged, Crop news was favorablo for whfat with tne exroptlon of a fw green bugs re ports from Oklahoma and Missouri. They nerved as a scars among the shorts after the early break, snd helped to make the bulge or 8 40 on May and on siart-n. This brought out Increased offerings and priced reacted sharply with the finish at II. M for Man-h and 11.41 i to 41.4 for May or K to lo under the higher point. The Impression prevailed that the llnuldatlon by longs hss been thorough and that the bearish condition have been well discounted for the time being. Corn Considered Too Low. There Is a cenersl feeling among many corn traders thst It Is selling below its real worth, that Is the feeding valua is greater than the price It Is selling for In the market. Those who work on this theory covered their shorts while others took advantage of the strong spots to Bell more. Prices at their lowest were the lowest of the season with May down to 63Hc and the close was at 4c from ths top as a rally of nearly lc followed the break. No. t grades declined l'lO to 2c In discounts under May. being 11c at the last. Shipping sales were 119,000 bushels with arrivals 121 cars. Heavy covering of oata to take profits and fair buying to remove hedges against cash sates combined with the advance In corn and wheat after the early dtp brought oats to nearly the Inside of tho session. Crop news was bearish. Seeding is about over In the southwest and Is being delayed In the central west by ground being too wet. Cash prices were off 1c at the extreme with the close firmer. No. S white to s over May with shipping sales 100,000 bushels and arrivals 6 cars. Speculators were fair sellers of July rye In expectation of a low price for July wheat next week. Export houses were buyers of May and are said to have the market In their hands. Prices sdvanced IViO for May-.from the low point and closed at the top while July was up only 1,0, Export sales were 16,000 bushels at 27o over May, track Baltimore. Fit Kotos. There Is a feeling among the most con servative element of the trade that grain prices are low enough for the time being and for the best Interests of the country at large. Prices have been on the down grade for more than a week and liquida tion of tired holders has brought out all the grain that can be had at the present level. Heavy covering by many of the leading shorts has been on the past few days and there Is a belief that values should do better for a few days. There is Uule disposition to press the selling side of breaks, but on sharp bulges It is ex pected mat tne grain win com eut agun. One of the largest operators, who was a 1 big buyer of wbeat on the early break, expressed ths opinion that It was not wlsa to get too bearish for a few days. It is said that there is a spread on between March and May wheat with the iMarch held by strong Interests and that the line has been greatly reduced. Despite the llirht arrivals of corn the trade remains bearish and the same feel ing also exists on oats. Katr quantities of corn goods are being bought by the Hoover relief committee for shipment abroad and there is said to be more ex port business In corn than Is given out.
