S .C. Sales Tax
On Food Looming
As Legislative Issue
Columbia, S. C., Dec. 8.—What
looms as the possible No. 1 issue of
the coming General Assembly—
exemption of food items from the
prosperous sales tax—may get roll
ing here Monday.
That’s when the House ways and
means committee meets to begin
the draft of a 1952-53 general ap
propriations bill in which sales tax
changes, if any, would be made.
The committee will have in hand
the State Budget and Control
Board’s report of estimated rev
enues and suggested spending. If
the committee follows past practice,
it will hew close to the report.
It seems unlikely that the budget
board will recommend any changes
in the sales tax law; but it may
predict as much as 10 per cent
more revenue from the tax that
originally was expected to produce
35 million a year.
Evidence Not Complete
Initial collections of the three
per cent retail levy indicate it will
exceed those original expectations.
The evidence, however, is not good
enough yet to determine just how
much it will exceed first expecta
tions.
But prospects of as much as $40
million a year from the tax, plus
the fact that an election year is
just around the corner, have com
bined in a strong pre-legislative
buildup to alter the tax.
Specifically, and especially in the
Piedmont sections of the state,
there is a definite sentiment to
knock the tax off food. Although
there are no official estimates on
it, this probably would reduce the
tax take by one-third.
Just how far the move will go
is entirely unpredictable. But there
are certain definite factors that
can dictate the course of any sales
tax reduction move:
1. Such remarks as Gov. James
F. Byrnes may make on the sub
ject in his annual address to the
Assembly after it convenes Jan
uary 8.
2. The legal status of , the sales
tax law in the face of J&onds that
have been issued on its security.
—If the Governor suggests that the
tax be left as it is for at least a full
year of operation, that might close
off the pending fight before it had
a chance to get going.
If he came out for a change in
the tax, the Legislature probably
| would adopt his suggestion.
May Hava No Choice
If available legal opinions, how-
1 ever, suggest that the tax can not
! be tampered with as long as bonds
are outsUnding against it, that
might end the matter entirely, giv
ing the Assembly no choice.
The tax supports, among other
things, a $75 million, twenty-year
school construction bond issue. Al
ready, $12 million of these bonds
Washington, Dec. 8.—A February
draft call for 55,000 men — 41,000
for the army and 14,000 for the
marines—was issued today by the
defense department.
The latest call for uniformed
manpower is 4,650 less than that
for January. It will bring the to
tal drafted since selective service
was reestablished in September,
1950, to 849,330, of whom 782,000
have been for the army and 67,330
