THE NEVADA CITY NUGGET
FRIDAY, JULY 5, '1935.
Always, when mid-year rools around, men pause for a
glance backward. Even as. the fireworks of the Fourth are in
the air, reports of how we have fared in the first six months of .
1935 are pouring in. And evidence is amassing that California, for one, has sailed across the half-way mark under full
canvas in a spanking breeze.
levels considerably above those of a year ago. Building activity in the Golden State has struck a swifter pace than in sev-.
eral years. In construction, as well as in farm income, California is out in front of the parade of states. Retai) sales are
likewise better than elsewhere in the nation. And corporate
earnings of most California firms are running substantially
ahead of those for the first half of last year. Lumped together, these things all mean that we have paced off a long stride
on the difficult road toward recovery. The glance backward
at mid-year of 1935 has turned out to be the pause that refreshes, for California.

And now it appears that someone is going to challenge
the constitutionality of exempting essential foodstuffs from
the sales tax in California.
This is a new one. If it were not for the fact that it involves tragic possibilities, the charge would even be a little
NOT to tax any particular item.
When the legislators exempted essential foodstuffs, they
raised the tax on other products. If this exemption clause were
proved uncox

bringing the suit are after.
In the first place, exemption for essentials is what the'
people want, and is their right. The “‘ability-to-pay’’ theory of
taxation has long been accepted as the very bulwark of just:
_ taxation.
In the second place, California would face something of;
a financial crisis if the old lower rate were restored. The ‘toss’
of expected revenue would be about $30,000,0
