Owing to the danger that the proposed constitutional amendment, though five times defeated in past general elections of the state,. may possibly be adopted this time due to its being bound up with sales tax repeal, twenty eight different statewide organizations are carrying on a determined battle against it. It has been established that if the sales tax is repealed, the schools, now supported by the sales tax would be forced to close, and if the single tax is adopted, such a burden will be placed on all real estate, that in a short time owners of land would soon be obliged to forfeit it to the state. talk -on ‘‘Democracy in Education, Ferguson, Lynn J.
