At his press conference. the Pne- sident was asked about his attitude toward a sacs tax and replied that it was the same as always. “That means that you do not care for it?" he was asked. i Not very much. Mr. Roosevelt re- Representative John Dingell (Dem. Mich). expressed the viewpoint of numerous legislators when he char- acterized the sales tax as inequit- able and unfair in that it would impose an "undue snare" of e burden on "the little fellows." Representative Wesley Disney (Dem-Okla). asserted. on the other hand. that the existing federalgas- oline tax was actually a sales tax. as was the tax on theatre admis- sions. Many states aready have sales taxes. Disney added. In Memoriam MR. JOHN 0. RAMSAY The people of Baltic and suf-l rounding communities were indeecll E BAH); I TUES. TODAY “m IS MADE AT NIGHT!
