tax one half of one per cent each biennium, socured freedom from
sales tax on mules in the 1939 legislature. “Thre’s no sales tax on

Farmers cannot afford to pay sales tax on their chipf animal of
work and there is no reason why the Raleigh Gang should force them
to do so. Mules have too much sense to coi^e under the sales tax
