Standardization and that action In adj

Many prominent merchants are in favor
Of IL. They say that a very small tax
would raise a vast amount of money and
that the burden would not be felt by
business men. whereas the increasing
taxes on realty are growing
not only to property owners but to
tenants who are forced to pay higher
rents.
Just how the business tax could be
apportioned Is not explained by It's ad-

thought out readily whenever the peo-
pie should be in a mood to adopt 1t.
