DEAN WESTOR T I? uhi w . of 4Si*» Antioch CvlI-go writes £lio Yellow Hprsnyn Howe tbo following interest mg ur» titT*' oil ’’Ta-xetion ilofoyera; 0:io of the gsv»t<, stop daeles In iho way of ony reform Is a reluctance on the part of the public to rmsm lo th a t a reform is needed, It- entails fa?Irea m en tal effort, energy a n d ,, jsndgbfc to go along in thu old one- toraary wayo of doing thingB th an , it docs to grasp tho now situation ! and, to advise adequate ways and 1 means to mee t the new conditions. - Yofc for the breaking away from the | tho ru t of custom, there would be. j no reform, either economic, political or religious. Though change hi a j condition of progress it is true th a t i no t all change Is desirable, or pro- ■ gressive. And ye t ho binding upon j tho majority of mankind in the force ! o£ an autequated custom, so strong is tho tendency of an old custom to j outlive, ito usefulness, tha t a t times ) almost any change is a relief, and if j itseif an advanco is a t least the first condition of advance toward new and more adequate ways of meeting tho changed conditions of social life. Indeed, the prevalent political corruption.that is now dis­ gracing well-nigh every state in the union has its ground in tlm inability of the masses to break 'away from old ideas, sentiments and habits of association, i. e, from the fetish of a political party. Let righteousness and uprightness, of character* no t the mere name of a party without true principles of action ; le t the de­ term ination to know to realize the, best principles and practices for social well- being, no t supine docili­ ty while being led to their own un- i doing by political bosses and cor ruptionists, be the inspiration about the ballot-box, and not only would there be less political corruption bu t there would be more of the need­ ed legislation th a t is the demand of justice and equity. I t is exactly these Conditions th a t prevail so largely in matters of taxation avid consequently so greatly hinder ami reta rd movements for tax reform. “ Bu t when reforms are instituted what policy should be pursued? Should they be made by adopting the old and new conditions; or should there be radical reform in accordance with well thought-out principles? as w.e have beforo seen i t is the first of these methods tha t has everywhere prevailed in ques­ tions of taxation* find for the practi­ cal reasons given above i t is th e one most- naturally adopted. I t is a t best, however, only a makeshift method and partakes little of tho nature tif reform. B u t oven real tax reform may* bo made peacemeal as well as by a thorough revision and re-organizatlon of the system. Only whore the industrial developemout is fairly complete is tho complete rc-organizatiori method moot feasi- ble and in consequence the peace- meal method is the one th a t has baen generally adopted though sev­ e ra l states have verged closely upon rad ical changes. Not so Ohio. But even where reforms are instigated no effort is made to reform the peo­ ple of the merits and need of the proposed reform, I f an amendment is proposed to the constitution to perm it some rational ac t the voter gets hip first information on th e subject when ho goes to the poles to to vote, and inconsequence is unable to cast an intelligent vote upon the question. This was notably tho case when the ex emption from tax­ ation of city and municipal bonds was recently submitted to the poo- ! pie. I t should be somebody’s bus- = mess to have these m atters brought [ to th e attention of the people and | they should bo discussed during j political campaigns, Yet a t ouch times they are never heard of by j stump speaker or tho .press. , liEeiSUATIVE ‘BlEASt-IMCa. t j Adopting the peacemeal method, ; tils present Ohio Legislature lias be­ fore i t five important tax measures, ! and eigh t or ten th a t are unimpor­ tan t, so far as concerns a tax oys* j tom . Tho (for our purpose) untm- | po rten t measures, pertaining t o ; public libraries, education, town* • ship roads, care of tho blind, listing j of corporations, state and county roads, the distribution of the liquor | t ix , etc., We will pass over, Tho ] measures of importance in the way i of tax reform a re : The creation of a i s ta ts tax commission; lim itation of < tax rate to quo per cent., inhri-j- ■ fanes tax ; exemption of mortgaged j property to the ex ten t of the mart- j gage; and tho taxation of intangible ] property by means of a stamp fax, j sioirroAGEs f The last two of tnoro measures wo j Iiavo already considered, objecting J to tho la st and approving the exemp­ tion of mortgaged property.
