Mabel L. Walker, of the General Welfare Tax League, has
made a study which shows how the sales tax gouges the poor. A
worker with an income of $1,000 a year pays a sales tax on 61 per
cent of all that he buys. A man with $1,000,000 a year spends only
1 per cent of his income in taxable purchases. The burden of the
sales tax, therefore, is 61 times as heavy on the poor as on the
super-rich.
The poor must pay, while ways of evasion are open to the rich
and well-to-do. A woman in Cincinnati, wanting a fur coat, goes
over the river to Covington, Ky., buys it there, and has it sent.
That becomes interstate commerce, not subject to the sales tax.
Owners .of big buildings buy coal by carload lots from other states,
while the man who must buy coal in half-ton lots, or less, buys at
home and pays the tax.
The usual minimum payment is one cent. On a 10-cent article
this is 10 per cent, and on a nickel article 20 per cent.
Twenty-four states now have sales taxes.

Increased wages for workers who were employed when the
National Industrial Recovery Act became effective in 1933 were
not achieved under the two years administration of that law, ac-
cording to the report of the Executive Council of the American
Federation of Labor to the 1935 convention of the Federation in
Atlantic City.
Although the index of manufacturing payrolls compiled by the
United States Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates that payroll
wages were increased 84 per cent from the low of 1933 to May 1935,
the Council points out that at least 25 per cent of this increase oc-
curred before the NRA entered the field.
Moreover, those who own the essential commodities and ser-
vices which the workers must buy increased the cost of living so
that the real gain of the higher wages expressed in purchasing-
power was not more than 60 per cent for the entire NRA regime.
But even this gain in the buying power of manufacturing pay-
rolls was nullified for most of the employes concerned. On this
subject the Executive Council said:
“From the standpoint of the individual, however, while we had
a 31 per cent increase in the hourly rate, the weekly money wage
is up only about 18 per cent, due to shortened hours. It is easily
seen that the increased cost of living of 15.5 per cent has largely
nullified this gain. For a lift in purchasing power to be more than
a mere deterrent to further deflation, the weekly wage of the indi-
vidual must be raised substantially above a mere subsistence level.'’
Continuing its analysis of the near zero benefits to workers in
the form of wages under the NRA, the Executive Council declared:
“It has been shown above that the condition of the wage earner
who was at work when the NRA became effective, was improved
little, if any, under this control. On the average, weekly earnings
were hardly increased sufficiently to offset increases in the cost
of living. Actually, decreases in weekly earnings were brought
about in countless cases. Furthermore, through the manipulation
of wage incentives and other forms of the stretch-out, there has
been a widespread increase in the work load placed upon individ-
ual workers, with no proportionate increase in compensation.”
In contrast to these depressing figures regarding wages, the
Council said that “certain economic and -social benefits resulted
from the NRA. “Minimum standards were adopted as a base upon
which to build a better economic structure. Child labor was vir-
tually eliminated. Unfair trade practices which had been eating
into the very core of our industry and trade were brought under
some degree of control. The way was cleared for progress.”
