The impression seems to be given
by Mr. Drew and Mr. • Blackwell that
there would not be any more drinking
than previously and that the traffic
would be "controlled."
In the first place, fir. Drew and his
Government had 110 mandate from the

CUT THE SALES TAX
at affairs across the ocean—outside of
taxation this year, and the sales tax 'Canada. At the present- time in my
should come in for a definite reduction.
It is a particularly vicious tax, increas-
ing - the cost of living for. families of
'low income in unfair proportion as com-
pared with its effects upon people (lf
wealth. •
As argued in a brief issued ,by the
Sales Tax Repeal • Association and
quoted by The• Toronto Star, the sales
tax, as is the way of indirect taxes,
takes 'emelt more out of the pockets of
the people than.. the f et°'enue it brings
to the 'Government. When an ..article
bears a tax of eight per cent. its cost
to the' consumer in most cases is in-
creased by• much more- than eight per
cent. The estimate of those who have
made a study of the .question is that'
a sales tax which brings the Govern-,
ment one „dollar takes two dollars out,
of tithe pocket of the ultimate purchaser.
To "quote from the brief of the Safes
•
Tax Repeal Association:
"When a, sales tax.._is levied on
the last. purchaser it obviously in-
• creases the cost of the article to
that list purchaser by the amount
received by the Government. But
