It is an unjust and inefficient tax and never should have found its way onto the statute books, It was only the desperate expedient of an extrava- gant state administration which coveted more money to spend and was afraid to tax further the people who were best able to pay. Hence it levied this tax which would hit the folks least able to pay. You are soon going to have a chance to kick this law into the limbo—thru an initiative measure. But first you must register as a voter. Until you are registered you will have no say in this important matter.
