Merchants Intensity
Fight On Sales Tax

The merchants of Salisbury ard

Petitions, letters, and kilograms
have been forwarded to the Rowan

the merchants, it is declared. and
the merchants as a whole are of
the opinion taxes should be reduc-
ed instead of increased.
Organized labor is almost unani-
mously and very actively opposed
to the enactment of a sales tax.
Their activity at the 1881 legisla-
ture was credited with being the
force that turned the tide against
the proposed sales tax, and leaders
of the opposition are expec''ng
them to WELD a great force in the
opposition this year.

'He brought immediate revival of
business by cutting expenses to

he can do much to insure business
