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
