a sweeping measure which Its propo-
nents called sales tax bill" The
measure carried with 1t. however, a
sweeping occupational tax measure

money. In order that none might be
missed, the bill required that every
worker and business man must pay
license of SO ayear for the privilege
of engaging In business and must keep
said license posted in his or her office.
Sales of farm products by the pro-
Queer alone were exempted.

I'm the earlier days when the
masses were unintelligent and unin-

great problem Of democracy has be-
come that of rendering the leaders
