H. L. Wilson, manager of the
(■rants Pass Grocery Co., has just
signed a contract witli the Tacoma
Brewing Co., for $20,000.000 worth
of Tacoma Brew, it was learned
here this week.
Mr. Wilson is tile largest whole
sale grocervman in southern Orc
gon, and has the distinction of be
ing the first to sign such a large
eontrnet for the new legalized bev
erage. The contract, of course, will
lun over a period of years.
Another distinguishing feature to
Mr. Wilson’s business is the fact
that he sells for cash and pays rash
on the spot. Very few other con
cern» in the CnitedStates can boast
of such a business.
Twenty millions of dollars is a
lot of money, hut it !s only indica
tive of the tremendous amount of
increased business that has been
brought Io the nation through the
legalizing of beer.

Why the Stale Sales Tax Should Be Defeated
1
A Sales Tax violates the fundamental principle
of ability to pay, because it requires a taxpayer to
pay a tax regardless of whether he has any income
or property.

It lays heavier burdens upon the necessities of
life than upon the luxuries, and upon the poor than
upon the rich.
If a general Sales Tax ix enacted by some states
and not by others, H ip practice of bool legging com
modities within the slat«' would become very wide-
sp.;.id. This is nhown by the present pruetice of
bootlegging motor fuels, although only a single
product is sold.

It discourages the development of new and
promising enterprises by taxing them while they
«re getting on their feet, even though they are mak
ing no profit. A net income tax would be much
more favorable to them, and later would secure
revenue when they were able to pay.

The pyramiding of a Sales Tax as successive
sales are made by middlemen and wholesalers will
bring about prohibitive retail prices.

The Sales Tax as drawn will NOI' relieve

The Delta Farm and Tourist Park
A person with a small income will, under the
sales tax, pay more proportionately than a person
with a large income. For instance, a person who
receives $2500.09 spends most of what he makes,
while the man who receives $1,000,000 a year spends
a comparatively small pari. It seems more equitable
to tax a man on what he makes, rather than on what
he spends.
