SALES TAX
-
Sales tax critictem has reached the sob stage. It is a
very effective means of defeating any new tax bill. Unfor-
nately all taxes are levied on something thatlaxpayers prize
or else taxes would not be paid. The property. tax levies
against the farm and the sales tax against the produce sold
from it. True, if a man does not pay his sales tax he may
lose his property through default
Nearly everyone will admit that the system of taxation
now in general use in this country is no longer fair and equi
table. It puts a penalty on the ownership of property unless
it is possible to make that property produce income every
year. One of the conditions--that has made thia country
progress so raridly in the last 150 years has been the gener
al ownership of property. We have evaded the pitfalls of
radicalism because our nation of property ownershave been
conservative and thoughtful of the consequences of too
violent change
'
It seems more equitable to protect the property owners
who are the backbone of our country than to go forever
with a tax policy that allows a large percentage of the people
to get all the benefits ^ government without paying one
cent for it.
.
The sales tax may not be the best means of doing this.
But it is the way that is immediately available and it ¡8 a
great enough change in the present system to draw attention
to the inequalities now in effect.

Old Philosopher
ago art now shouting to flow
down. In-ofhtr wprd^ W0 oW
duffers ask youth to slow dewn
tb the pace of old age, before
they’ve even had a chance to set
their pace.
No, I can’t see where times
And whether we
have changed
are better oft I
know- Of
course, I can get to Portland
quicker than when I was a boy.
But what do I gain by getttag
there quicker and why should I
get there quicker?
Of kqqrpp some present day
farmer will say
blit loQk at
the dinky 1 jttle farm patches yoq
use to h*vg. They’re right in that-
HI gdrait that the farm» of to
day are thirty times aa largp—
but then, so are the mortgages.
I was always «date to keep my
barn filled wth hay, my bins full of
grain, my herd on the increase,
enough vittles to keep us alive,
and besides able to sell enough to
enable me to buy the mistsus a new
bonnet for Easter
hgyg a
dollars left- And tihats as much
as we expect to do nowadays-
But still Fdj be a fool if I
wished to live in those times
again. I’ve always felt sorry for
the folks who live jn the past an<|
And fault oontinuaily with the
pres>entL And its usually we old
duffers, wh^ have slipped out of
the running,' who try to think we
amolint to something by harping
on, the good’.bld days.
No, I beljive we should sit back
in tha sunsif of our old age and
thank God that tlje progress of the
world (has riiade it possible for us
to enjqy such a fullness tn the last
few years of our existence.
Much better to do this, than to
spoil the pleasure of the young
by continually blowing off about
the Eden of our youths,—to which
we wduldn’t return, ourselves;, for
all tihe chewin’ tobacco in the
worjd—and that’s something

fully too. After tracing the growth of the dependence of
the people of the country storekeeper she traces the decline
of the confidence in him. It is hard to pick flaws in her
argument.
The article states that all rural storekeepers had a uni
que asset in the confidence of their customers. Because the
merchants themselves became dependent of travel Ing men
for advise about buying and selling they have lost a part of
this confidence. Good roads and the declining provincilism
of the rural settlements have caused the country storekeep

AU this is too common a statement to be successfully con
tradicted.
M
But the writer of the essay in question does not follow
through to the same conclusion as many others and predict
that all country store keepers are headed for disaster. An
elegy is not necessarily a funeral dirge, it may merely be a
sad song. It is still possible for country merchants to
achieve success by capitalizing their advantages. Their
best «met is the confidence people have in their honesty.
If they combine with this bard work and common sense and
car fully let customers, actual and prospective, realize the
advantages that may be had by patronizing them they will
s ill survive even after the mail order catalogue had been
discarded anddhe big city department store has ceased, to
