The study entitled, "The Michigan Retail Sales and Use Taxes," was made by Dr. Robert S. Ford, director of the Bureau, and E. Fenton Shep- ard, research assistant. It concerns, administrative problems of the sales tax, comparative state practices, fi- nancial results, constitutional prob- lems of sales taxes, and the Mich- igan use tax. terstate commerce for Michigan. In 1939 this $531,000. Adopted originally in 1933 as an emergency measure to assist in the financing of welfare relief and tot irovide tax relief to reaNl estate, thel Michigan sales tax contributes more than any other source of state and local revenue except the property fax. In the fiscal year 1939-40 salesN tax revenues amounted,toover $59,t 000,000.l For a better understanding of the Michigan sales tax, the authors com- pare it with the sales tax in Calif-f of nia, Illinois, Indiana; and Ohio. Larger revenues from the California sales tax-about $87,500,000-are probably caused, in no small mea- sure, they explain, by the fact that M. Thompson Joins Faculty At U Of Texas Milton J. Thompson, formerly an associate professor in the aeronau- tical engineering department here, left for the University' of Texas in Austin Monday where he will receive a full professorship and take charge of the new aeronautical program which is being planned there. A graduate of the University's Col- lege of Engineering with a B.S.E. de- gree in 1925 and an M.S.E. degree in 1926, Professor Thompson won a Daniel Guggenheim award in 19281 for two years of study in aerody- namics under Prof. C. W. Witoszynski at the Warsaw Polytechnic School He received his Doctor's degree in 1930 after which he became asso- ciated with the aeronautical depart- ment. Noted mainly for his aerodynamic work on some of the military craft now in production, Professor Thomp- son did a great deal of theoretical work in helping to perfect the na- sion 's most powerful pursuit ship, the Airacobra,which flew at the ate of 620 miles per hour in a re- cent test. He also played an active part in the construction of the Airacodo 1bomber and the Lockheed Electra, a transport ship which broke all rec- ords a few weeks ago by making a cross-country trip in only ten hours. At the University Professor Thomp- son worked with Prof. Felix W. Paw- lowski, also of the aeronautical en- gineering department, on the design and construction of the wind tunnel.
