TALK ABOUT TAXES

Various State Grangers On theSubject

Demand For Study of the Question bythe Farmer For His Own

Interest

The farmers composing the Grangesn organization that has done muchlr study tire real interests of thefarmer has been taking a good dealuf interest in the subject of taxationlately and some very pertinent utterances on this question have beengiven out in the addresses of theMasters at annual sessions of variousstate Granges

At a recent meeting of the Washington State Grange the Master gaveconsiderable attention to the questionof taxation He said in tart

tor urge every Grange in this stateto take up the study of taxation inall its phases earnestly and seriouslyduring the coining year for I feestrongly that we farmers have hlflIIy realized the importance of thoroughly uiiil standing theprinciples or taxation-

intundnmentalIcensoring the

taxes In the brief timeable to give it since my mind hasbeen fully aroused to its importanceII have come to doubtwisdom of our present method of asscssing stale taxes Section 2 of Artitle 7of our slate constitution is asfollows The legislature shall provide by law a uniform and equal rateof assessment and taxation on allproperty in the state according to itsvalue in money This is the generalproperty tax similar to Kentucky

The above constitutional provisionis similar to that of many of the west¬

ern states and enjoins a system oftaxation which has been tried in praqtically all the states of the Union Itrequires the application of the sanierules of taxation to forms of propertytotally different in character Most ofthe older states such as New YorkConnecticut Massachusetts New Ter ¬

sey and Pennsylvania have constitu-tions which impose no restraint on thepower of the legislature or very littlemore restraint than that imposed bythe federal constitution Those stateshave developed systems of taxationmore in harmony with modern condi

tionsThe attempt to tax all kinds ofproperty by the same rules has in alltimes and in all countries imposedheavier burdens upon rural districtsthan cities and in a large degree hasmeasured the tax to be paid by eachcitizen by the amount of his con-

sumption rather than by the opportunity he enjoys to acquire wealthunder the protection of the state

The plan adopted by our neigh-

bor Oregon is to apportion thestate tax in proportion to the reve-nue raised by each county Oregonnade the mistake of not carrying outhe principle to its logical conclusionThe tax should be apportioned in proportion to the entire revenue raisedby each county and all the taxing districts within each county-

It is very easy to see that the morehighly developed and more denselypopulated a county may be the moremoney it needs for local purposes inproportion to its taxable values andthe greater is the power to pay taxesThe tax apportioned in this mannerwill shift from the poorer and remoterural counties the burden they nowbear and impose it on the morethickly settled and prosperous counawayIi dervalue property in order to shift thestate tax o other communities A

study of the experience of other statesshows that one of the greatest evilshas been this incentive to undervalueIt produces inequality and dissatisfaction if not downright fraud

The Ohio State GrangeIn Ohio they are proposing an amend-

ment to the constitution that will permit of a classification of the sourcesof revenue such as is now in effect inPennsylvania The difficulty with ttieOhio constitution is exactly similarto that in Kentucky They are proposing there an amendment to theconstitution which will make it readthis way Taxes shall be levied ata uniform rate upon all property ofthe same class The Ohio constitution now rrquires that taxes shall bPuniform upon all classes of propertythe provision being similar to that olthe constitution of Kentucky TheMaster Honorable F A Derthickcommenting upon the proposed amendment to the constitution said

To pull up every stake in our constitution seems heroic treatment antif lone would throw upon the peopleadded responsibility in the selectionof their representatives If classifica-tion is to be the plan adopted itshould be left to a commission of atleast five members appointed by thegovernor one from each of the foursisters whose combined efforts havemade us all we areone from manufacture one from mining one fromcommerce one from agrculture Thisboard should be reinforced by the up-

pointment of a member of wellknownintegrity and great legal ability

j The farmers are not committed tothe idea of classification but we wishto join in the study of tax revisionThe Ohio State Grange assembled inannual session December 11 to 131906 by a unanimous vote expressedthe desire of an organized body of tax¬

payers fifty thousand strong to co¬

operate with all other interests in de ¬

vising a tax system that shall be Justand fair to every legitimate interestin the state
