SALKS TAX UNSOUND
With the U'gi.-lature in session
again, the -all's tax issue may be ex

This is ry time for the adding of a
sales tax, or any other from of tax.
The enactment I'f a sales tax will
mean more money to he .sjient and

only to extravagance in government
and bringing little relief from the

is made easy for the politicians, it is
made hard for the taxpayer.
