Conlon, assistant attorney general of Michigan, who was the principal speaker at a public meeting at the Wm.

W. Oliver auditorium last evening. Mr. Conlon urged his hearers to "thoroughly acquaint themselves with the seriousness of this particular amendment In presenting his discussion of the tax Mr. emphasized that Its adoption was not an emergency measure but was intended to be permanent, which was clearly indicated by the immediate removal of all taxes on real estate for state purposes.

His contention was that if the sales tax Is reduced some other form of taxation, such as an income tax, will have to be substituted, if tho schools and state institutions are to continue to function properly. He said If the sales tax is removed from foodstuffs the receipts from that source would be reduced by $12.000,000. Property Tax Absorbed amount of the last property tax paid was some Mr. Conlon said. has been absorbed entirely by receipts from the sales tax and the state of Michigan Is one of the few states that has no state property tax of any In addition to eliminating tho property tax, the public school system, welfare, old age pensions, aid for crippled children, and the maintenance of penal Institutions have benefited from tho tax.

There are over 1,4 00,000 school children who have been enabled to remain in Hchool and their schools kept open as the result of the state sales tax money.

If this money had not been available, countless hundreds of these schools would have been obliged to close," Public Relief The $9,000,000 appropriation made by the lust session of the legislature for welfare was made possible through the sales tax, Mr. Conlon said, and he added that the $2,000,000 appropriation for old age pensions was made possible entirely from the steady increase in the receipts of the sales tax which has resulted from improved business conditions and more efficiency in the management of the sales tax department a result of this $2.000,000 appropriation for old age pensions," Mr. Conlon said, state of Michigan was the first state in the union that received a like amount of money from the federal government, as Michigan had the money available to match that which was appropriated by the federal government at Washington." The speaker contended that change in the sales tax should he left to the legislature, and not made by constitutional amendment. Would Shorten Term Delta county. Conlon stressed, could not operate its schools for more than three months without state aid.

Wants Rusiness Like Approach The Michigan Education association, Conlon said, holds for a businesslike attitude toward matters of taxation. It is not the intention of the association or any other right thinking group, lie stated, to change the whole order of things, from a taxation viewpoint, but rather to give careful study of conditions and recommend changes deemed ueceasury. The speaker concluded by reminding his audience that the state its children a free education and that it is duty of the state to supply hard pressed communities with motley to maintain their schools." If the sale tax is eliminated, he said, the state government vs ill be almost wholly unable to meet thi- obligation. Conlon urged a "no" vote on all four amendments to be submitted to the electors in November.
