To the Beavestfcw Review:
One o f the nr-wt discussed sub
jects, and one o f the lease under
stood at the present time is the
Salea Tax.
Some people speak o f it as if it
is a new and untried plan for rais
ing money; others discuss it as a
vicious form o f taxation, others as
a tax foisted upon t i e people oy»
Big Interests, whatever that means,
and still others speak o f it as an
additional tax nnd unnecessary.
As a matter o f fact, the Sales

foreign countries have this tax as
a means o f raising revenue. In this
state, the general taxes for rais;ng
revenue are the Prcnertv Tax. the
Income Tax. The Intangibles
Tax
and the Inheritance Tax.
None o f these taxes alone is per

the reduction o f his school taxes
