Tax (From Page 25) under protest.” In essence, this is what I wrote on the protest form: “ As applied to teachers, this is an occupation tax . . . the application of an occupation tax to some members of an occupational group but not to others represents discrimination. All teachers— or no teachers— should be required to pay any tax levied in consequence of their occupation. In­ cluding or excluding part of an occupa­ tional group because of differences in the form or manner in which their in­ come is received is unjust and discrimi­ natory.” As to having each payment protest notarized, Charles Brown states on his protest form, “Since I intend to pay all subsequent monthly tax payments un­ der protest, until I can be assured that this matter is being given consideration, I do not think it will be necessary for me to answer . . . each one.” Finally, any teacher whose yearly in­ come (from teaching) is less than $5,030 may on request, pay the 2 % tax in quarterly instead of monthly installments. — Reported by Dorothy H.
