Although Congress by legisla-
tion can overthrow the recent
Supreme Court decision wh'-h
held it is legal for states to levy
income taxes on that part of the
profit any firm makes by selling
in a particular state, there still
oems to be some doubt that
Congress will1
take such ac-
tion.
• • *
On the other
hand, if Con-ij
gress does not
take such ac-
tion, thousands

are liable
either to
shrinking oper- c. W. Harder
aliens or going out of business.
• * *
’IJie most encouraging note Is
the introduction by Hep. Wm.
McCullough of a bill to correct
this evil known as HR 7757. Also
encouraging is fact that the Sen-
ate Small Business Committee,
through a sub committee headed
by Sen. Alan Bible of Nevada is
continuing to hold hearings.
* * *
And perhaps the most encour-
aging akgn of all Is that current
testimony is bringing out unless
Congress acts, the Federal gov-
ernment is going to lose a great
deal in income taxes.
• * *
For example, recently the
treasurer of a small pharma-
ceutical firm testified to some of
the monkey shines as it affected
his business.
* * *
In Georgia in 1958 his firm
sold $1*6.42 worth of merchan-
dise, oi which all but $22.80 was
for resale, and thus exempt
from any state tax on the part
of his firm. The firm paid Georgia
67 tents in taxes.
* * *
On this amount, Georgia re-
funded a 2c discount, thus realiz-
ing 65 cents. But if the cost of a
stamp is deducted, state only
-jLL^51Lf2!ljLl of Independent bu»ln»M
realized 61 cents, not counting
cost of bookkeeping labor.
But the firm's accounting de-
partment costs In compiling the
figures and making out the re-
turns was $36 on this 61 cent
transaction.
0*0
He also testified in the same
year they paid to South Caro-
lina taxes on $52.02 worth of
sales, on which they paid a tax
of $1.51, were refunded 5 cents,
but the transaction cost them $15
in bookkeeping costs.
* * *
At this point a light apparently
dawned on Sen. I.everett Salton-
stall who inquired if these ex-
traordinary costs are not deduct-
ed as business expenses on the
firm's federal income taxes.
• * •
Naturally, it was pointed out
that this was done.
• * *
Tills one fact, more than any-
thing else, will probably compel
Congress to art and declare that
such state taxes on Interstate
commerce la a violation of the
principle stated in the Constitu-
tion and pass laws that will pro-
hibit such wieril occurrences.
• * *
Actually, many legal minds
claim the Supreme Court deci-
sion in February approving this
nonsense will go down in history
as one of the groat blunders of
the court.
• * *
While scores and even hun-
dreds of businessmen who threat-
en to be wiped out by this de-
rision are appearing before the
Senate Small Business Commit-
tee, It would only seem logical
that everyone who manufac-
tures, wholesales, or retails
across state lines makes strong
representations to Congress for
relief. While the actual amount
of the taxes are in most cases
not too great, the cost of keeping
track of the sales and making re-
turns to the various states Is a
bankrupting operation.
