The dlfiCHRsfoas of tho represent* fives of Ohio great agricultural inter­ ests before the Btoto Tax CoBmloDlsu last month, brought out many good Ideas on tho Mg subject of taxatlca. publicity was urged m ouo remedy. Hca, T. E, Smith, ISsa. S, J?. Stria* glo and. Mr. D. B. Dunham all favored publicity m a sfilistteh of tho vexing problems without amending Jh? con­ stitution. “How many look Into tho assessor’* returns to sco how his neighbor has listed property?" said Mr, Smith. "Oneo r sent tho assessor to a neighbor to look up some notes he had not returned. By this moans $2,000 were added to the duplicate. X believe we could increase tho dupli­ cate by this means. Some years ago Xwas in Springfield and found prop­ erty paying an annual rent higher than it was on. the duplicate for." "X believe most of the inequalities can bo cured by publishing the prop­ erty, returned for taxation by each," said Mr, Swingle. ‘/Mortgage indebt­ edness is very great in some sections of tho state, and, though many legis­ latures have tried to correct this evil none have so far been successful. The personal property of the farmer gets, on the duplicate at very near its true value, while the stock of railways, tel­ ephone and telegraph companies, gas and oil companies' and- other corpor­ ate. Interests are placed oh the dupli­ cate at a very low per cent of their value," . “1 am one of the men who looks Into his neighbor’s returns," said Mr, Dunham of the executive committee, State Grange. “W& try to be fair with each other In my. section of the state, and I don’t, believe you could find ten men who believe our- govern­ ment to be a failure. Most talking here today think people disbonest-and ready to evade taxes. They say yob can’t get the.property en the dupli­ cate. I don’t believe it. The only trouble Is the unequal valuation. I ' look at the other- fellow’s business, and I find a lot worth $7,000 on dupli­ cate at $2,700, another worth $2,700 on duplicate at $950, another worth $lo;ooo at $2,300. Our*rate Is 3.12 on $1,500,000. Xt would be much l‘ess With a true valuation of property. The fact Is we fanners have not looked into the other fellow's business enough, Bet us get busy, and I be­ lieve without revision of the constitu­ tion every dollar could he taxed at Its true value. . TAXATION BASED ON ECONOMY PRINCIPLES. At the last hearing before the Ohio Tax Commission, Mrs. .Mary B, Dee, Grange, Editor Farm and Fireside and American Agriculturist, Westerville, stated the case as follows: The Intel-’ erable burdens resulting from taxation do not stride from the power to tax, bat the methods employed. Warshuvebeen fought; system* o f government over- -ttwrafl to «wsp« "taxation ndthont • 9$irkiNN~ m m Wmtfc'tMaM and taJMnrtertfcfci*** re- speoting econoatto question*, Taxa­ tion as an art and a science has not been considered save by a few thought- * tul students, and they have not been able to test the value of their ideas. The entire effort has been* on the part of taxpayers to get lower valua­ tions and find means of dodging. Is it not time that sound economic prin­ ciples be applied to the matter of taxation? Each industry complains of the In-; justices of the present laws on that business* and all are agreed that gross Inequalities and Injustices exist Can a system that has hred such condi­ tions bo just? And Is there justice In taxing a t the same rate that prop­ erty which has a itxea value, with that propertywhose value is determin­ ed by different men* at different times. One Is the result of fixed ..economic laws, world wide In application; tho other simply the opinion o f 'a mart elected* to place as 'low a valuation as possible on property. The badness yt this principle should have been scented without leaving experience to demonstrate It. Let us amend tho Constitution, rid ourselves of the uni­ form rate which experience and reason alike condemn, and seek a sys. tem in accord with, correct economic principles. It aeemo unwise to legis­ late into the Constitution. Wo are no. more able to legislate Into that Instrument wisely for the people 20 or GOyears hence than were our ancestors to legislate for us. The power of the people la steadily grow­ ing through tlio primaries, conven­ tions, Initiative and referendum. The universal diffusion of education is en­ abling the people to judge more wisely each year. Leave them free from con­ stitutional restrictions to work oat their own destiny, Perfect laws do not spring full-fledged, Minerva-like* but are creatures of growth. Xwould rec­ ommend the creation of rt tax commis­ sion In which each industry la repre­ sented, artd a political economist of -wide experience who could take a sur­ vey pi tliEr entire ctate^tis-contce* of revenue and its needs,artd coulddcv.lse laws that would secure a just and equitable distribution of tho burdens of taxation. It also seems imperative that tho constitution bp amended so that that properly whoso value is fixed shall riot hear the same rate of tax art that property whose value IS deter­ mined by tho judgment of mort, Tho general property tax puts the burden on the fruits of Industry in­ stead of on tho profits of privilege. An apportionment of tho state tax on the basis of locar revenue will put the burdeft oil tho profits of privilege-- whore it belongs. Many Delay* at Attar.
