Monteith, candidate ror the house of representatives rom Richland county, speaking during the county campaign meetng at Lower Richland high school ast Saturday, urged a careful study and readjustment of the state tax structure by professional tax experts, to prevent the duplicatioa if tax levies or* their overlapping. Monteith also said that expert government plannng and careful government spending would reeult In lower taxes as well as more benefit from every tax dollar. While revision and relief from, taxes wre emphasized mora or leas i>y almost every aspirant for the # legislature, Monteith alone called for relief through the removal of sales tax from foods and medicines, saying that the sales tax on a ten lollar weekly grocery purchase would buy a large loaf of bread or . a quart of milk and help lessen the threat of malnutrition in many hundreds of families. Monteith said that he also bases his contention on sales tax remoral an these two items on the fact that the income from sales taxes is beyond that expected, so that the resuiting surplus from this snirca , would be evened oc by giving the benefit to the people from whom it came. . _ _ , X Sixteen persons in addition to Monteith are running for the eight house seats in Richland county.

Hinton said: "It is deplorable lb at the race issue should b-., brought into the mmnsitrn K? candidate for any office." "South Carolina has many important issues that candidates should discuss," he said "and leave race and color out. "The segregation school case is before the U. S.
