Turn Back Taxes

We agree with Martin H. Kennedy that a Larger
share of state collected taxes should be turned back
to the city, whose taxing powers limited by state
laws. But 60 much farther than Mr.. Kennedy
We are against the state sales tax entirely.
The sales tax is unfair taxation. It makes the
worker and the housewife pay tribute every time
they purchase something.
We believe that there other and better ways
by which to increase state and city Illinois,
is one of the few states which does not have tax on
personal and corporation incomes. This is a progress
i've and fair method of taxation. It taxing the
rich instead of the poor.
The Communist Party is for the passage of
steeply graduated state income tax all personal
and corporation incomes of over $4,000 year. Mr..
Root is opposed to this method of taxation and eF,-
parently Mr.. Kennedy is toe.

More Efficiency

Chicago does not need higher taxes Chicago
needs governmental efficiency and prudent
spending of the tax monies it already collects. Chi
cago does not financial aid state to per-
form the ordinary municipal services of sanitation and
fire and police protection. Chicago needs the kind of
municipal government Kansas City has been getting
since the Pendergast machine overthrown.
Chicago needs lower taxes. Chicago is entitled
to lower taxes. Chicago have lower taxes with
properly administered municipal government.
And it is my purpose to that Chicago gets
lower taxes, and, at the time, every municipal
service in kind and degree, to which citizen is
entitled

GILBERT GREEN,
Candidate for Mayer
Communist Party

EVERYBODY is for lower taxes. But anyone
~ who promises lower taxes for all and at the
time better services for ALL only kidding the
public.
The Communist Party does not believe in kidding
the people. We strongly urge sharp reduction in
taxes-but ii can't be for everybody.
We favor reduced taxes for all those with moderate
ncomes-the wage workers. the small homeowners
the professionals and small business people. But we
just strongly advocate sharp increase ia taxation
for the and of great wealth for the
moneposs, the bankers, the millienaries multi
millionaireS.
Only such approach makes possible both a
reduction in taxes for the vast majority Chicagoans
and greater income for the city with better services
for its people. "" ' t"7f

than 100000, only four have lower adjusted tax
rate than Chicago.
Don't misunderstood me-taxes high in Chi

of the tax load than it should rghtfuuy bear.
1t will take positive action in expenditure,
careful planning, elimination of duplicated services,
and equitable distribution of existing tax

The people have right to expect careful and

Money Not Returned
Chicago receives $50, 600, 600 year in taxes to
help pay operating expenses.
On the other hand the state government takes
out of Chicago approximately $4,000 600 year from
just four taxes-the sales liquor cigarette and uti
tiles taxes. None of this money directly returned
to the city for its use.
In sales taxes alone, during the years 1941,
the people of Chicago have contributed than
$50 900 900 annually We pay half of all sales
taxes collected in Illinois.
The record shows that the state administration
keeps for itself not only all of the sales tax money,
but all of the money received from three other

PLAN BEFORE YOU BUILD
ADVISES FARM ENGINEER

Don't get the cart before the
horse" is familiar phrase on many
farm, and on. those farms where
repairs and new structures are
needed, Jack F. Bell, extension
agricultural engineer, suggests the
by-word be plan before you begin
to remodel or repair"
Bell advises that whether you
plan to make improvements grad
ually to spread the cost over
several years, or wish to do the job
at one time, plan the work so that
each step will be completed in the
proper order.
The first step in planning re-
pair or remodeling job should be a
| survey to determine basic repairs
required and necessary. Then de-
eide whether the cost of major re-
pairs and alterations will be greater
than is warranted by the value OF
the building after it is completed.
Other important factors that
should be given attention are lOca-
tion with respect to other buildings
location with respect to good roads
all seasons and terrain and whether
or not it is wise to construct a new
building rather than repair the pre-
sent one. 1t may be advisable in the
light of present building conditions
to make temporary repairs unit
permanent construction can be done
at a later date.
Estimates should always be made
of unnecessary repairs and con
struction work desired. Where esti
mates can not be made by the indi
vidual, a builder should be consult
ed.
There is only one way to proceel
in making any repairs and that il
to start at the bottom and work ur
Start with the foundation, then tn
walls, floors, roofs and chimnevs
/. In making repairs in that order
you will have a safe framework o.
, which to build. Other repairs can b
made without damage to work pre-
) viously completed.

while at the same time continuing
reasonable restraints on landlords
