WALTERBORO PRESS-STANDARD A three per cent sales tax, on EVERYTHING, with a bribe to the taxpayer of a possible 1-3 reduction of county leviesi, a boost in teacher pay, and bus transportation, is thrown in the face of the taxpayer as a sop for this hasty, ill-advised, and non-intelligent step by the free conference committee. If a 3 per cent overall sales tax ’ is put on the average tax payer will in a year’s time pay MORE taxes tan the 1-3 reduc tion will amount to. His taxes will be increased—NOT decreas ed. This, of course, will not apply to the man with much property, or money invested in business property Which -pro duces income in rentals. But IT IS SO for the average sal aried man, or one living on a fixed income.
