Anti-Sales Tax League Head Speaks Here
Dr. Oscar Hayes of Akron, president of the Anti-Sales Tax League of Ohio, urged repeal of the general sales tax on goods except fuel for motor vehicles. The group aims to place the measure as a constitutional amendment this Fall and seeks 365,000 signatures by August 9. Hayes said the tax is unjust, burdens buyers and taxes barter, while opponents warned of school funding cuts and city operations without the tax. He proposed a replacement, possibly a tax on interest, and affirmed the league is financed by donations.
