Just now, and until his silence is broken, the key to the campaign is held by Eisen hower. If „ the contest is between Truman and Taft the Democratic electoral states, if they have th^, courage and determination to sta'nd together—may force the election in to the House of Representatives where a strong independent Demo crat with their solid support would have an excellent chance of emerg ing as President-elect. Let us hope that will happen and that an end to Trumanism is not in the far distant future.

Also, it {mints out ,thc average person /nakes cayh purchases prob- LS-acd ably an*!.'Tonting to half of his ex penditures for which he receives no sales slips. The Herald then makes this sug gestion: "It appears to us that an equitable! method of permitting a sales tax ex-, emption would be the allowance of a certain percentage of gross or net income for this purpose. For in- .‘''tance, the person with a family whose net income is $2,000 would probably be expected to spend prac tically all he makes on living ex penses. At least half of that would be for taxable necessities. Hence his tax exemption should be at least $30 , or three per cennt on $1,000. “A provision allowing one and a! half per cent exemption for sales ! taxes on total income would there- ] fore seem to be reasonable and just. "If his income should be $10,000, his taxable purchases would be less 1 in proportion than the person in the lower' bracket, and so on. Study of subject should result in working out a practical lump sum or a percentage exemption of total income, "It is not just for the state to al low an exemption without making some provision for a practical way of taking advantage of the exemp tion.” 1 We agree with The Herald. We ne£d a sensible, practical plan to give people full advantage of the exemptions they are entitled to for sales taxes paid, without red tape. Government, federal and state, is after every dollar they can get from taxpayers in taxes. An honest, fair method should be set up to see that the fellow who is making the pay ments is given every consideration tp whi(fh he is entitled.
