DANGER!
Vote No—or Pay

Tax radicals in Michigan have succeeded in placing on the
ballot, for your vote, next Tuesday, a Constitutional Amend-
ment LOADED WITH DYNAMITE.

local rates—the system which Pingree changed through his
Equal Taxation fight, after these corporations had, for many
years, escaped paying their share of taxation.

This Amendment proposes a State Income Tax which would,
in its eventual result, deprive every wage earner in Michigan
of from 5'; to 10'; of his or her - income.

By this backward step, the Michigan Primary School Fund,
into which such corporations today pay yearly the huge sum
of almost $15,000,000, would surely be seriously depleted.
In great part, the grade schools of Michigan arc supported
through this fund.

This Tax would increase your rent and raise the price
of every article you buy.

passed along to the eventual con-
sumer, and would he finally bal-
anced by a corresponding increase
in living costs.

It Imperils Prosperity

Worse even than this would be the
foul blow this Amendment would
strike at Michigan Industry. For
the manufacturer here must still
compete for business in open mar-
ket. Few other states have inctfne
taxes. None has a tax so cruelly
severe as the one proposed for us.

Women Voters!

Your family needs your husband's earn-
ings far more than the rich, mighty state

of Michigan.

But the politicans want more of his
money to spend and they will get it, if
the Income Tax Amendment passes.

Vote NO on this amendment next

Tuesday.

Can the Michigan factory success-
fully shoulder this handicap?

Keep this income where it belongs where
it can help support your family and make
life easier for all of you.

Must it not eventually go under,
throwing its men out of work,
and increasing the tax burden of
everyone else?

Read this advertisement carefully and
understand how you can make your vote
and your influence - count as they
have never counted before.

It Threatens Our Schools

The higher authorities, including
the State's Attorney General and
its Superintendent of Public Instruction, agree that this pro-
posed amendment would have still another disastrous and
ever. more immediate effect. It would surely reduce taxes
paid by railroads, telephone companies, power companies, and
other public service corporations.

It would go back to the old system of local assessment and

They are not in any way ex-
empted from this tax. There-
fore, for every dollar you con-
tribute to them, from five to
ten cents woulg go to the
politicians to end, if this
amendment passes.

And remember, this is a Constitu-
tional Amendment

It becomes, if passe,!, part of Mich-
igan's FUNDAMENTAL LAW,
and almost impossible to change in
any way.

Defeat It!

Let nobody delude you regarding
the actual facts. Place no trust
whatever in the loose phrasing of
the Amendment itself. And
confuse it, for one moment, with any other amendment
presented for your vote. You will find this amendment the
second on your ballot.

Determine firmly, right now, to carefully pick it out
on Tuesday, and to vote an emphatic NO as your ver-
dict on this State Income Tax.
