ers.
1t is in line with this rule that the federal in
come tax becomes sleeper as your income rises.
Il is one Of the crimes Of the Michigan tax sys-
tenn that this sort OF graduated arrangement is
forbidden by our state constitution. which insists
that taxes be levied at a uniform rate
The sales tax is worse than uniform tax,
however, Il is a graduated tax that works in the
wrong direction. The lower your income, the
higher the rate Of tax YOU pay.
Decent Tax System
sensible tax system in Michigan would re-
qure the repeal OF the sales tax repeal OF the con-
stitutonal section requiring uniform taxation, and
the establishment Of graduated income and COR
poration profit taxes.
In addition, the arrangement under which a
city may vote itself Is mill tax limitation real
this arrangement most Of the larger cities Of the
state are taxing themselves very much less heav-
lily than necessary, and hence are forced to starve
their city services underpay their teachers and
neglect the development OF community facilities
There are some cities, like Grand Rapids, that
get more money from the state government for as
sistance in their municipal expenditures, than they
collect from their residents in taxes This is a
scandal. and Will continue as long as these cities
can continue 20 milk tho state government as they
propose to do in the division of the sales tax.
The sooner we get 10 work on revampng our
tax structure and on aboishing the sales tax the
better off we Will be.

This IS a serious prospect foe the sales tax falls
heaviest on those OF us who have small incomes
and who must spend the greatest portion Of our
wages on food clothing and other articles Of con-
sumers' goods.
Sales Tax Is Bad Tax
Sales taxes were adopte by many states dur
Ing the depression OF the 80 when state revenues
fell OF and the demand for relief for the unem-
