MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MED FOR 0, OREGON. TUESDAY. MARCH 20, 1934. PAOE TIT UK Hi CALIF. GRANGER SAYS SALES TAX Ll A. P. Williams of Gazelle, Calif., a member of the agricultural com mittee of the state grange of Califor nia, was a visitor In Med ford yester day In the Interest of purchasing Hereford bulls, and while here, ex pressed his views on the sales tax now In effect In California. Mr. Williams stated that the farm he operates In Gazelle was taxed $800 two years ago, and this fall, he was only required to pay a tax of $460, the result of the sales tax now In ef fect In California. "It has been a big help to us," Mr. Williams said, "and I believe the far mer Is the last one who should fight this tax." Mr. Williams said the agricultural committee of the grange considered the measure at the state convention, and reported to the general body that the grange should not abolish this tax. As a result, no action was taken against It, he said. "It's the best tax we've got at this time", Mr. Williams said. "I don't believe in a tax on necessities, but there seems no way of segregating them. What might be necessities to one, would not be to another." The schools are maintained mostly by the state in California, Mr. Wil liams pointed out, adding that the sales tax had made It possible to con duct the schools on the return from the tax.
