Father's Friend. Based on Kennedy's pronouncements, the sort of men he has so far gathered around him and his economic moves to date, what are some of the business changes-and bows to the status quo-that will take place under a Kennedy Administration...
...opponent believes in the status quo. He has voted more with the Southern conservatives and Barry Goldwater than he has with our interests in the Northern industrial states. I say when our vice-President is stoned in South America, when our President can't go to Japan, when our economic growth is not what is should be, when thousands of students must be told they cannot go to college simply because of money, we can not afford a Levertt Saltonstall in the Senate.

New Hampshire's tax system needs reform badly, for its main sources of money--liquor revenues, a $5 per capita head tax, and a levy on merchandise stocked by storekeepers--are actually regressive with respect to personal income. As one of the five states that have neither a sales nor income tax, it has a constitution that forbids excise duties or any progressive tax, and no candidate for governor since Sherman Adams has suggested reform...
