HWORKOf TAXCOMMISSIONS 1t*Vl«w Of Progrets Being Mac)* In O ther State#. ■The comsnh'>i--n of California was created! in 1005, charged with a thor­ ough investigation of;,the whole proh- Jem of taxation. Us report is a com- preliemjive fliscucplon of tho questions that arq «6\y confronting most of our states, hut its recommendations are moderate, *£be tax on personal prop­ erty is unqualifiedly condemned, as In­ volving glaring Inequalities between different classes of property, between county and county, between city and city* between city and county, be­ tween man and man. The attempts -to ‘'equalize” the tax by. state boards Only serve to intensify the injustices and inequality. Moreover, the tax Is a Veritable “school for perjury." This language has become familiar. ‘It has been used by a dozen commis­ sions in as many states. The California commission favors complete separation of state from lo­ cal taxation, It would give counties and cities the exclusive right to tax real and personal property, or real property alone/ hnd reserve for the state corporations and franchise taxes. Minor suggestions are added, and all are ably defended. A tax commission was named by the Massachusetts legislature to con­ sider reforms immediately practicable rather than profound and fundamental changes in the'system of taxation. The legislature. believes that It fa desir­ able to make Improvements in 'the present system •which ''shall prove stepping stones to more' radical changes. The report—recommends. a number of new taxes and of modifications,that are calculated to render the state and the counties more Independent of each other in taxation. Home rule is recog­ nized as "the ideal to work for, and independence is to be made complete in the future. Among the specific rec­ ommendations are these: The taxation of billboards; the extension of the in­ heritance tax to direct successions; the imposition of a franchise -tax on express companies; a graded tax on automobiles; a tax on stock transfers similar to that which has proved so successful in Now York; and, finally, the retention by the state of all fran­ chise taxes on railroad, telegraph and telephone companies. The commission estimates that the state will gain over $3,000,000 annually from these new sources of revenue, and such gain will enable It to abolish the direct tax on real/and personal property, except for local purposes.— Indianapolis Star. FEDERALANDSTATE.TAKES By W. M. HAYS, TT j S. Assff. Sttc’y of AffrfcuUrue, ■ fP'rorrr aw udawsamn "Country-': Ufa Education.") of mont serious conrldoratlon. In its early days, the country being small and jeopardized by external foes, the general government reserved the right to levy indirect farms, as on imports, .on alcohol and on tobacco. The states- and lesser political divisions, on tbo other hand, raise their revenues by more direct taxation, as on personal property, on incomes of corporations .and of individuals, and on inherit­ ances. . It so happens that oinco the federal government and the state were al-. lowed these sources of Income vast economic changes have taken place, placing the federal government great­ ly at an advantage as Compared with all the states combined in securing taxes. With the enormous develop­ ment of manufactured products . and .the increased power of the people to purchase them, and with the greatly cheapened transportation .resulting from the circulation of vastly greater quantifies of commodities, the rev­ enues obtained,by the federal govern­ ment have enormously increased. The states, on tint other hand', fiud it 1m- praotlcahle to secure, such large amounts of public revenue from the more direct forma of taxation. This Is clearly Illustrated by the fact that the federal government thus secures In taxes revenues amounting annually to $800,000,000. This is $10 per capita, or nearly $50 per family. The states, on the other hand, annually - bring Into their state treasuries only, $2- to $3 per capita, or about $200,000,- 000. It should be observed that rev­ enues derived by cities, counties, townships, and other political bodies make the state and local taxes pre­ sumably somewhat larger ‘than the federal revenue. The fact .that the state legislator is often chosen under pledge to keep down state expenses, while the federal legislator Is expect­ ed to Secure all he' can get for his state from federal appropriations, has not a little to do with the -relatively larger growth of the federal budget. A PERMANENT TAX COMMISSION, ' The sentiment in favor of a per­ manent tax commission grows strong­ er, The fax conuhittees have found the need tor authentic and .exhaustive information on the various plans of taxation, and many members have de­ clared that ihe legislature should enact very few td$ laws until a com­ petent commission has had an oppor­ tunity to Investigate the results of such laws in other states.—Minneap­ olis (Minn,)’ Tribune. A Dgily Thought There is but one straight road to success, and that Is merit. The man who is successful is the man who Is useful. 'Capacity never lacks oppor­ tunity. It cannot remain undiscov­ ered, because’t la sought by too many anxious to ut,.iZe It. /A capable1man on’ earth is more valuable than, any precious deposit under the earth, and the object of a much more vigilant' search.—W.

Now the government may Compete with private enterprise In getting ca­ pable men, but it has not thus far shown anything of the capacity of a private elite;pil.;e to assign tho right man always to the right place. The agency which in private enterprise succeeds so generally In eventually landing in the right place tho right man is not simply good intention or mere Intelligence, but the Intelligence and intention which constantly study the enterprise hi hand, which make it the one affair in life, oonntnntly thought of and planned for—att intelli­ gence nnd Indention, too, which are themselves as nearly as possible per­ manent. That kind of seeking out and watchfulness few government depart­ ments possess.
