Professor Kemmerer: We are getting over into the field of taxation here. That is a pretty big question. My own judgment is that, contrary to the general im- pression of the financial press and of a great many of my best friends, in times like these the excess profits tax is not, and in the next year or so the excess profits tax is not to any great extent likely to be shifted and that a tax on sales would be cumulative, and very in- equitable in its incidence. What is finished product for one in...dustry is the raw material for another. A sales tax catches an article at many different stages of its progress toward the final consumer. If a tax on sales reaches necessities (and almost everything is a necessity under certain circumstances), the people who buy those necessities will pay it, and the tax would be shifted to a great extent to the people who could least afford to pay it. I hope we will have the most rigid economies but I don't believe in a general sales tax or a general sales tax exclusive of foods.
