Show WHY HOT BE FAIR By C. W. Smith It is rather amusing to note how far some will go in trying to maintain main-tain their point, regardless of the methods used. For those who are familiar with the writer of the articles signed by "A Merchant" there need be' no answer. But for the benefit of those that do not 'and in fairness to the owner of Lots 9-10. Blk. 4 Plat "B" Roosevelt, Roose-velt, it would be unfair to let the writers garbled statement pass unchallenged. un-challenged. The violation of a public trust is most serious, but the unscrop-ulous unscrop-ulous obscuring of facts is the meanest kind of lies, and only they who have no other avenue of escape would resort to such primitive pri-mitive methods. The quotation of the 1933 audit by "Wayne E. Mayhew Co." as the writer well knew, was not relative relat-ive to the work of the present assessor, therefore was obscured, unfair and misleading. No one expected ex-pected "A Merchant" to absorb the 2 per cent sales tax, although he- could have done so wun nanu-some nanu-some profit left." The reason why there was no personal property attached to lots 9-10. Blk. 4 Plat "B" Roosevelt is because Mr. Bruce Calder paid his 1933 personal tax. Surely there was no reason for the singling out of Mr. Calder for this attack, for the taxes due on this property is several times less than the value of the property. The amount quoted by the writer as being due on this property is so extreamly exagerated that it becomes a joke to them that know the true situation. Of course this same writer has made a desperate effort to divert the public mind away from the real issue "Sales Tax" by making a personal attack on others. |
