THE OCCUPATION TAX

When the city council not long
ago passed its occupation tax Ordi-
nance. II made much the same effect
upon the business life OF the city as
would a giant fire cracker set off
close by a sleeping dog. 1t not only
surprised the natives by its sudden
bursting out of calm and serene
sky. but aroused at once a storm of
protest from all sides. and from all
classes of people who are affected
by its provisions.
The council. doubtless saw or
thought they saw, a sufficiently
pressing need for revenue to war
rant raising the revenue in any way
possible. and this, as We see il. ex-
plains The why and wherefore of the
occupation tax ordinance.
However, the taxes imposed on the
several occupations listed. are 50 i'll

nance the means Of imposing a very

justice or injustice of the ordinance
