What Good
Will One
Vote Do?.

Frequently you hear this qusss
ton: What good will one vote dof
Well, one vote has had . lot to
do with q lot Of things IN this
country.
Thomas Jefferson was elected
President by one vote In the cleo
toral college. So was John Quincy
Adams.
Rutherford B. Hayes was elected
President by one vote. His election
was contested, and it was referred
to an electoral commission. Again
he won by single vote.
The man who cast that deciding
vote for President Hayes was a
Congressman from Indiana, law
yer who was elected to Congress
by margin Of just one vote. And
that one vote was cast by a client
of his who, though desperately i'll,
insisted on being taken to the polls
to vote.
Just one vote gave statehood to
California, Idaho, Oregon, Texas
and Washington and today all
the millions living in those five
states are American by just one
vote.
Now you may say that the one
vote situation applies only to the
past. Well, don't forget that the
Draft Act of World War II passed
the House by just one vote
and you can carry this One Vote
History on and on.
There are few countries left in
our world where people have a
chance to vote =. e. in many of those
countries the people vote, but there
is no choice of candidates.

Harmony With State and

enviable record made in that office to
his excellent staff and the co-opera-
ton given him by the citizens of
Silver Bow county.

coaching and assisting in coaching
high school and grade school athletic
teams. He is strong advocate that
Montana athletes attend Montana in
situations of higher learning. He be-
lieves that boy active in athletics

delinquent.
Jimmy Freebourn is friendly, sin
cere, courageous and sympathetic,
and at the same time, quiet, unassum-
ing and inclined to avoid the lime
light of publicity.
He firmly believes that the indi-
vidual citizen should be allowed to
exercise the rights guaranteed by the

STATES ARE MORE SUBJECT
TO PRESSURE, ON TAXES

g. There is overwhelming evil
dence that it is the state govern
ments, so often dominated by special
privilege groups, which have delib-
erately corrupted their revenue sys-
TENS in order to shift the heaviest
tax burden on low and middle in
come families"
The only fair basis for taxation is
liability to pay" the Outlook says.
Under this progressive" system, a
higher share of taxes is levied as in
comes or profits rise. A Progressive"
tax, on the other hand, "takes pro-
portionately more from those who
have the least"
Progressive taxes, that is, gradu-
ated individual and corporate income
taxes, are the backbone of the fed
eral tax SYSTEM" the Outlook says.
SIN most of the states and cities,
however, the opposite is true; it is
here that unfair tax policies are sew
orally penalyzing the families who are
least able to shoulder the load.
''In the states, the regressive sales
tax, which eats into the living stand
ards of those who have the most, is
the major source of tax revenue.
''To make matters worse, more and
more local municipalities are impos-
ing sales taxes on top of their ex-
listing property taxes, which are also
regressive."
Seventy-nine per cent of federal
tax revenue last year came from
progressive taxes on individual in
comes, corporate profits and estate
and gift taxes, the Outlook recalls,
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1952-07-04

must be levied progressively in direct
proportion to the amount of income
received.
.The champions of special privilege
distort the truth in their effort to
shift more and more of the tax bur-
den onto the backs of those least
able to pay. They want further
extension of sales and other regres
sive taxes. We must defeat this vic
ious campaign. Above all, we must
protect the one-quarter of the ma
TONS families who live on subsis-
tence incomes of less than $4,000
a year from the extortionate tax
charges they now bear.
Whether we can depends on all
the American people. Taxes must not
remain the special concern of just
the well-heeled corporation experts
and propagandists
"Fair wages and salaries have
long been the concern of organized
labor; fair and equitable taxes are

MONTANA NOT AMONG 81

Thirty-one states now have gen.
eral sales taxes, the Outlook reports,
while all 48 have "selective" sales
taxes, such as those on gasoline and
tobacco. Four states-Illinois, South
Dakota, Washington and West Vir-
ginia-got more than 800 of their
revenue from this source. None has
an individual income tax, and only
South Dakota has small corporate
profits tax.
"While the CLIO recognizes that
the middle income families, as well as
the wealthy, must share the tax load"

Taxes Are Especial Concern
OF All the People

Various states and smaller COM
munities are unfairly shifting more
and more of their tax burden to the
backs of those least able to pay, the

latest edition.
The taxpayers themselves are so
concerned with federal taxes that
they may fail to examine the tax
policies of state and local govern

cover $40 billion will be received
and spent by these smaller tax-col-
lecting units during fiscal 1885," con-
tinues the Outlook, which is published
by the CIO Department of Educa-
ton and Research.
Gwen should the international
crisis subside and our federal tax
needs go down, state and local reve-
nue. requirements will continue to rise
as the demands for schools, highways,
hospitals and other services increase.
But there is an even more ini-
portant reason for scrutinizing our
local tax systems
''In spite of the clamor against
corruption in Washington, the federal
has, in the main, faced
up to its revenue needs in an equi-
table manner.

SALES TAXES, MAIN SOURCE
OF STATE FUNDS

"Last year." it went on, ''the states
collected only 1870 of their revenue
from individual and corporate in
come taxes and levies on estates and
gifts. The bulk of their income
fully 59%-came from sales taxes,
levy on consumers regardless of
their income"
The sales tax is unfair because
it siphons from low and middle in
come families comparatively high
per centage of purchasing power that
can i'll be spared from expenditures
for necessities, the Out look says.
The federal income tax allows an
exemption of 5000 for every men,
Der of the family "on the assump-
ton that this sum is needed to pro-
vide food, clothing and SHELTER" ac-
cording to the Outlook. Sales taxes,
it adds, reduce this inadequate al
lowance still further = even among
the 10 million families, representing
35 million individuals, which had in
comes of less than $4,000 in 1850.
"Yet, the sales tax s. extracted
its tragic toll from the aged, the de-
pendent families on relief, the sick
and the disabled, and the unemploy-
ed" the Outlook notes.
"Under the sales tax, there is
no charity for those in need. 1t takes
two or three cents from the dollar
purchase of the poorest and the mil
lionaire alike"
