According? to Secrotary of State, Clarence J, Brown, who has made a careful study of the matter and who haa checked over 800.000 of the new licenses before announcing hiB con­ clusions, 68 1-3 per cent of all pas­ senger cars in Ohio fall in the $7,00 license fee class. Another 23 per cent of cars are taxed a t $10 per year for .plates. Thus it appears that over 91 per cent of the car owners in this state pay $10 or less for their license plates, but in 1930 the average cost .of license plates was $4.66 per car, while it now appears th a t the average for passenger cars in 1932 will be a- bout $8.60 per car. Over two millions of dollars in ci­ garette taxes have-,beep collected by State Treasurer, Harry S^TJaylluring the first five months of its operation. The average daily collection by Treas­ urer Day amounts to approximately $16,000, It is estimated that the tax will bring a revenue to. the state of possibly five millions of dollars, per year.

He will demand a 25 per cent reduction in the valuation of farm land, homes and manufacturing property which he con­ siders essential to the restoration of general prosperity in Ohio. He says: “Such public utility inter­ ests, profitable doing business in the state as have not,been making a fair, just and ratable contribution to the state’s revenues must pay their pro­ portionate share of taxes. “A substantial part of the present local school tjjf must be exchanged for other forms of revenue. The plan is for tax reduction, tax equalization and not tax increase.’’ “Motor vehicle fees and gasoline taxes should be conserved for the im­ provement of our roads and streets.” “The only way to reduce taxes is to reduce expenses, I expect to meet this issue fairly. No individual o r corpor­ ation will be dealt with unjustly and the tax paying public as a whole will benefit.” Mr. Cooper .has been speaking for several weeks to farm grorips assail­ ing the new tax law, that real estate has not had a square deal.
