been in a long while. 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.

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.
