"I'm not prepared to discuss our tax measures," he said, up tot this point our study has been preliminary." He noted, however, that "we are to live by our platform pledge in keeping with taxing according to the ability to pay." He long ago ruled out he present one per cent sales tax and a flat income tax such as was defeated in 1951. Leader also declared that "we're not giving serious thought to a mercantile tax at this time." "We can't walk in there tomorrow and say we have a complete solution to the tax problem.
