BREAKS PRECIDENT.
Washington, To-day. Breaking all Presidential precedents President Herbert Hoover to-day addressed the Senate at the shortest notice. He advocated the adoption of al sales tax to bridge the $225,000,-| 000. gap between revenue and expenditure. Reuter's Ameri-
can Service.
Already Rejected. Recently congress discussed, and rejected the sales tax and tried to overcome the United Statèss* ($1,200,000,000 deficit by, increasing
the income tax.
The proposal that revenue should be secured by permitting and taxing the production of beer was also re jected.
There has always been marked re- luctance in the United States to the adoption of a sales tax despite its successful (and to the Government, profitable) operation in Canada.
A sales tax is usually popular with both producers and retallers as it is passed directly to the con-] Bumer. The amount of the tax (from 1 to 5 per cent) is added to the retail price of an article and is usually shown on the customer's invoice.
