State Rules Out
Exemptions To
3% Retail Tax
Resolution Brings Defeat
To Those Who Expected
Dispensations
LANSING, Aug. 8.-()-The Atate
today had clampedi down the lid
upon exemptions to its new 3 per
cent retail sales tax.
A far-reaching resolution was
adopted Monday by the state board
of tax administration withdrawing
previous exemptions and rejecting
other applications for exceptions to
the tax.
The resolution brought defeat to
Michigan manufacturers and whole-
salers who previously had gained ex-
emptions for certain products. It also
rejected the plea of farmers through-
out that ;feed".and farm machinery
might be exempted.
A previous ruling was revoked ex-
empting containers such, as bagst
bottles, cans, crates, cartons and so
forth sold to manufacturers or dis-
tributors. A similar ruling to exclude
lubricating and processing foils and
fuels used in industry likewise was
set aside. The petition of farmers for
exemptions was rejected along with
scores of other applications.
Materials Not Taxed
The ruling reverted to the original
stand that any tangible personal
property sold to the ultimate con-
sumer is subject to the levy. The tax,
however, is not required on compo-
nent parts of the finished product.
For example,:the tax will not be de-
manded for metals used in the man-
ufacture of automobiles but will be
levied on machinery and tools.
By its action, the board virtually
ignored a legislative resolution con-
struing the sales tax as applying only
to retail merchants. The resolution,
which was adopted at the adjourned
session of the Legislature, said that
It was the intent of the membership
that the levy not apply to articles
sold for use in manufacturing plants
or for such materials as containers,
and fuel utilized by industry.
The board said it will study the
operation of the sales tax with a
yiew toward recommending changes.
It admitted "there are apparently in-
justices in the collection of the tax
under the definition contained in the
act," but said relief rested solely with
the Legislature.
Must File by August 15
James E. Morgan, managing direc-
tor of the board, said returns must
be filed by Aug. 15 on the basis of
the new ruling. Manufacturers and
wholesalers, he said, must pay the
tax on articles previously exempted
even though they may not have been
collecting the levy.
The ruling meant that manufac-
turers, wholesalers, and distributors
lost their general fight to exclude
tools, machinery, equipment, and
other material used in manufacturing
or distributing processes.
Aside from the fight. of manufac-
turers to gain exemptions, farmers
through the Michigan State Farm
Bureau and the Michigan State
Grange had sought exceptions for
farm 'i'achinery, equipment, and
feed.

Gen. William T. Sherman, in payment for porkers stolen from the
Davis estate by the civil war general's raiders on their march to the

were delivered in a crate to his war department office in Washington.

Sharman Talks
About Physical
Education Here
It is essential to recognize the wide
range of interests, needs, and abilities
represented in a group of children
when one is planning a physical edu-
cation program for them, it was de-
clared yesterday by Prof. Jackson R.
Sharman of the School of Education
in an afternoon conference.
Every child differs from every oth-
er in all traits and characteristics
which go to make up personality, he
said, and the rate of growth and de-
velopment of these traits of individ-
uals also varies.
It is evident therefore, he contin-
ued, that every child is p'ractically
certain to have needs, abilities, and
interests differing from those of every
other child. Consequently, in formu-
lating and conducting the. physical
education program, planners must
get away from the habit of thinking
in terms of groups of children and
consider individauls, he said.
A number of procedures were enu-
merated by -Professor Sharman as .of
value in determining individual dif-
ferences of pupils. The use of a
battery of tests was recommended
since one kind will measure but one
type-of ability. Among tests named
were medical tests, mctor fibility tests,
physical fitness and achievement
tests, knowledge tests, and rhythii
tests.
Changes in school or class organi-
zation are often necessitated by ad-
justments of the physical education
programs to individual needs of chil-
dren, he continued. Materials of
instruction, curriculum, and teaching
procedure also often have to be
altered.
In conclusion, he pointed out that
pupils must be scheduled for physi-
cal education classes to meet their
needs and not according to the va-
cant periods on their programs after
all other subjects have been chosen.
PARLEY OPENED TOO SOON
NEW YORK, Aug. 8.-(P)--James
M. Cox, the last American delegate
to leave the World Economic Confer-
ence, returned from London yesterday
and expressed the opinion that the
Conference "was called too soon."
The task of the Conference, he
said, was hampered to some extent
by Central European countries,
which, he added, "are facing inter-
nal difficulties and were not ready
for the Conference."
Although he described business
conditions in Europe as improving,
he asserted that Europe is engaged
in an economic struggle for self-con-
tainment.
