Then what would happen? Public officials would then have less revenues with which to conduct the affairs of our city, county and school governments.

Representative, revenues would flow into our local public treasuries? Perhaps we are willing to make up these losses by imposing taxes upon ourselves in some other way, such as increased sales tax, increased gasoline tax, increased tax on automobiles, higher licenses to our merchants, or taxes on all our manufactured products or what not. Then we must bear in mind that all of these taxes come back to us and are paid by us indirectly, since we are the ultimate consumers. For there is no such thing as a tax exempt citizen we all pay. Taxes are tied up in everything we eat and wear and use. We must not be deluded into the fact that we can make anybody else pay our tax, for they in turn, merely shift the tax back to us. When we make up our own minds on these serious questions, we are then in a position to cast an intelligent vote on Amendment No. 5. It is hardly conceivable that any of us whjo have pride in local government and high standards of public service, will be found very enthusiastic for the drastic changes proposed in Amendment No. 5.
