[Letter from D. C. Bradley to Truett Latimer]
Letter from D. C. Bradley to Truett Latimer discussing Bradley's opposition to an unnamed state sales tax that exempts food and drugs. Bradley writes that he opposes the tax because it does not tax people in proportion to their ability to pay, people already have difficulty affording essential goods, and the full extent of the tax is hidden because it is paid over a year's time. He says he would rather see luxury goods taxed more highly or even a state income tax than a sales tax.
