W ith the sales tax money com ing in in cash the d is tric t could be put on nearly a cash basis even w ith continued 50 per cent delinquency in property tax. The school could be lengthened to a nine m onths term and high school gradu ates going to college would have no back w ork to make up. The school property tax would lik e ly be 13 or 14 m ills along w ith the sales tax. If everybody looks at the sales tax from a s tric tly self ish standpoint there would not be a ghost o f a show fo r its passage. C ollection o f the tax would be looked upon as a nuisance by the m erchants fo r w hich he is not compensated and m ust make up that part o f the tax he cannot pass on. A fa m ily w ith a sm all home but being liberal spenders m igbt figure out th a t the sales tax would cost them a few dollars instead of saving anything. The person who pays no pro perty taxes can fig u re out w ith o u t any exertion th a t he is going to have to pay borne taxes and if he feels lie has no obligations to the schools which have given him an educa tion then o f course he w ill ire against it. Those who are rabid about the u tilitie s , (w ho have contributed about one- th ird of our (axes in S p rin g fie ld ), w ill point to the savings these corporations w il! make by property tax reduction. They w ill not take in to consideration that the railroads and power companies are the state’s biggest buyers and prob ably the tax w ill cost them more than they save. If the w rite r were to make his decision s tric tly on selfishness he would not be fo r the sales tax either. The old theory o f taxation was that it should be based only on a person’s a b ility to pay. T h is w orked b e tte r in the old days when nearly all wealth was invested in p ro perty. Now a persons a b ility to pay is not measured by property alone. People are beginning to realize th a t a ll en jo y the benefits o f public schools and governm ent equally and everyone should pay som ething, however sm all, fo r that privilege. . O ur appeal to the voters Is that they analyze the sales tax s tric tly in light o f our ow n school situation. It is purely and sim ply a local (ax fo r our local schools and to reduce local ta x a tio n on property. One way to pay the c o u n try ’s indebtedness w ould be to fine everyone $1 who does not vote. In the Backyard League helped yo u r com m unity.
