Replaces Property Taxes 



As this revenue is to be used in its 

 entirety to replace taxes on property 

 previously levied by the state and by 

 local authorities for educational pur- 

 poses in the elementary schools, it can 

 be readily seen that whatever may be 

 the amount of revenue derived from the 

 income tax, property will be afforded 

 relief by the same amount. 



The Association's members and read- 

 ers of its publication should not fail to 

 recognize that to secure the passage of 

 this legislation, tremendous opposition 

 had to be overcome. Many of those 

 who have been enjoying privileges and 

 benefits of Government without con- 



tributing to its cost recognized imme- 

 diately that this legislation would bring 

 them into the tax-paying class. Mem- 

 bers of the General Assembly were im- 

 portuned on every hand to oppose the 

 legislation. To those members who 

 stood up against all opposition and who 

 overcame all obstacles obstructing its 

 passage belongs a large share of the 

 credit for these newly created statutes. 



Get Out and Vote 



The property tax-payers of Illinois 

 owe these legislators a debt of gratitude 

 and we know of no better way to dis- 

 charge that debt than to go to the polls 

 on primary day, and again on election 



day and use the full strength of the 

 ballot to return to office those who, by 

 their efforts and votes, made possible 

 this first victory for the property tax- 

 payers of this state. By so doing, think- 

 ing property owners of Illinois will not 

 only be repaying in part what they owe 

 to their representatives, but will be lay- 

 ing an effective ground work for fu- 

 ture constructive legislation now in the 

 making, which will bring about still 

 greater relief to property. The time has 

 arrived when the thinking voters of the 

 state must lay aside party prejudices, or 

 at least make them secondary to the 

 economic interests of the people at 

 large. ;^,;\'
