Speaking of bills, many people
perhaps have an idea that these bills

This is of course not correct. The

On the whole, very few new laws are

Franck R. Havenner of San Francisco and wohilld provide for the legalization of United States coinage in

In explaining the necessity of the
measure, Stewart pointed out that
almost one half of the states now
levy a sales tax and that this type
of tax applies to the purchases made
by approximately ‘three fourths off
the population of the United States.
“Difficulties in passing on the tax
accurately from retailers to consum-~

which depend on the sales tax for an
important part of their reventues,’’
Stewart said.

at heart and we sincerely hope that
some way can be found to give them

I want to be fair.to both the taxpayer and the needy persons, but I
have no sympathy for the chiselers

that we shoulld have a national tax of
