Hard- Hon the Proposed Chain Store License Tax Would Affect YOU You will have a chance to vote on this tax at the November election. It will be No. 2 on the ballot You will want to think about k and talk it over with your family and friends -for UNLESS IT IS DEFEATED it will have serious effects on your pocketbook. T What is it all about? A small but highly organized group of competi tors has been trying for a long time to cripple and eventually destroy. Utah's chain stores. They don't like the way chain stores keep prices down. ' So they wrote a tax bill and lobbied It through the last session of the legislature. But more than ' 34,000 Utah voters protested and signed a petition peti-tion to put it before the public at the next general election, this coming November 3rd. Because chain stores help you in one way or another, an-other, you have a real stake in this issue. And you, with other Utah voters, can decide what the outcome shall be. It would be an extra tax on Y0U1 Here's why; The chain stores Jike J. C Penney, Sears Roebuck, Montgomery Ward and Safeway, for example save you money. You know that. Chain store prices average at least 10 less nd these low prices also tend tea keep prices in other stores lower than they otherwise would be. If the chain stores are saddled with extra axes, they will have to raise their prices or close their doors. Thus all prices will go up and you will actually be paying the tux in higher prices for the things you buy. This is no time for extra taxes that do not aid America's war effort. This proposed chain store tax would benefit only a group of selfish competitors com-petitors who want to et chain stores out of tlie way. . ... If you have a farm -or livestock litre's another way the tax would fall on you: Utah's chain stores are a good market for Utah farm and range products. They buy millions of, dollars worth of these products every year. If ! the chain stores are taxed out of business, yon p will lose an important and profitable market for ' your farm and range products. It will take money out of your pocket. 3D m TRADE-iN ALLOWANCE For Your Old Plug ea VlreatMe 'PIwIm' Spark Plugs Ceffinj Price JAa m.

'.. ii " J r' r 1.95 to IO.tS Coech and Sedin Cover 7.jr to rj; Here are the provisions of mis "death tax" on chain stores. Notice how drastic, how one-sided and unfair they are: WHY THIS TAX WOULD DESTROY CHAIN STORES Briefly, the tax would compel 123 chain stores, out of a total of some 6000 stores in Utah, to pay a yearly license of as much as $500 each and would compel these stores to pay as much as $5000 every year for every new store opened or for any store moving to a new location. loca-tion. All this would be in addition to the yearly average of $6,517 taxes per store they already are paying. Many of the stores just couldn't afford to pay an extra $500 a year without raising their prices. None of the stores could possibly pay a yearly tax of $5000 for the privilege of moving to a new location or for opening a new store. This $5000 yearly tax would freeze chain stores in their present locations. But without freedom free-dom to move, as conditions change, any store sooner or later would wither, and die. t' .'.r.'!.y"-.v." i Within a few years, if this tax is not defeated de-feated by Utah voters, there would be no low-price chain stores in the state. i ASIC US ...
