It takes 3c out of every dollar you earn. It taxes thel bread and meat you buy. It taxes you, every time you go to the store. It is a sample of what you may expect if you continue the present administration of the Democratic Party in power, or if you vote for any of the hand-picked candidates in either party that certain interests put. forward. Len Small is the only candidate who is pledged to repeal the Sales Tax, the only one who will save you three cents of every dollar you earn. Illinois--it is time to act, and time to get behind a tried, true and experienced leader. Illinois is in the mud ag&in, and once again to pull Illinois out of the mud vote for Len Small for Governor in the primaries of ApriL There is no security with a higher taung in the political exchange than a Len Small promise. That is true, whether it is a promise to an individual or a promise to the public. A Len Small promise is accepted at its face value alike toy professional politicians and those who have only a casual interest in politics. Len Small belongs to that old school and generation in which a promise was intended a» an obligation to be fulfilled. 1 Therefore, when Lten Small promises the people of Illinois that he will repeal the 3 per cent sales tax when he becomes governor again, the people know that he means it An analysis of state appropriations discloses that 10 per cent of the sales tax is used for state payroll and that $20,000,000 of sales tax collections is exhausted in ipaste and extravagance of the present administration. v It is estimated that the person who paid a $5 state property tax under Len Small now pays from $35 to $60 in sales taxes. Len Small promised the people of Illinois that he would build roads, reduce utility rates, pay a state bonus to World Wax Veterans. He kept* those, and many other promises. He pledges himself now to repeal the sales tax. He will keep that promise just as he keeps all promises to the people. 44 RICH FARM SOLD ; Tfce F. S.
