Illinois Sales Tax debate and farm policy notes
A Chicago driven critique opposes the Illinois Sales Tax as enacted by Horner and the state legislature. The piece links tax passage to political manipulation, warns of constitutional challenges, and notes public distress over a 3 percent tax on goods and certain items. The column discusses farm policy moves, Roosevelt era price-fixing proposals, and the broader impact on farmers and mortgages amid a mood of cautious optimism for recovery. The report also mentions moves to convert state banks to National banks and National Guard actions in North Dakota to protect property during a moratorium.
