Courts and councJ!s also lack information. Further- more, both often lack ability to analyze information after it is given. In a long day of making a budget there is hardly time to make a proper study of the pro- tie ms c f government that are being financed or halted through the budget It is a oort o f hu- man failing or, rather a fault of those who planned the budget law to understand the kind of knowledge possessed by citizens < ,Ae government grows, officials and those who make budgets must depend more and more on those who administer the laws.

A 10% general sales tax means a 10% Increase in all prices. It is the most inflationary tax of all—Indeed a deadly enemy of a democracy at war. CONG. WHITTINGTON REPLIES: The reply of Mr. Shishkin is typical of the opponents of the sales tax. He confuses the Lord with tyrannical Herod and ' drunken Belshazzar Tithes were for the Lord. The Old Testament enjoined them. Unjust and unreasonable taxes without repre sentation, no matter the kind, were for Herod and Belshazzar. The Saviour, the greatest of a ll democrats and humanitarians, went further than tithes; he said that tithes were not enough. H e commended the widow for giving her last penny. Sales taxes like tithes and free w ill offerings are applicable to all taxpayers whether rich or poor. Such taxes w ill supple ment, not repeal the income tax, and reduce the high cost ot government spend, or not The great bulk of in flationary pressure lies in smaller In comes, formed by the reservoir of war wages and salaries.

In a democracy taxes should make all citizens tax con scious. The sales ta x 'w ill. MR SH IS H K IN REPLIES: High war wages are wot widespread. Earn ings in war plants are high because hours are long, ^ork gruelling. As of a year ago, 41% of all consumers were in the low income bracket with average incomes of $18 a week, re ceiving only 14% of the nation’s money Income. These families can not and should not assume the same tax burden as . families with long purses If economic democracy is to prevail. AU should «bate the finan cial burdens of war, but Justice and democracy demand each share ac cording to his means. I f power to tax be power to destroy, the sales tax is the most destructive form of wartime ta-ratinn, undermining the very foun dations of democracy.
