THE REVENUE QUESTION.

The finance committees of the
Legislature assure the public that
they will make determined effort
to secure for the state the neces-
sary revenues and to provide
means for meeting the deficiency,
which is sure to appear during the
states present fiscal year. The
necessity for prompt action is nc
knowledged by the committee, but
no plan which meets with general
appreciation has yet been found to
remedy the existing evil. The
suggestion to limit the tax rate for
counties is the nearest to it the
committee has come, and while
this would increase the revenues
of the state, it does not meet with
general favor for the reason that
some counties are in need of more
revenue than others.
To show the difference in coul-
ty needs, it has been pointed out
that while one county gets along
with an S-mills rate, another coun-
ty has rate of AZ mills, and with
that rate can raise barely enough
revenue to meet its obligations.
To limit the rate will not effect
those counties which can now get
along with small rate, but it will
force full cash valuation upon
others. How to equalize things
under such circumstances is one
of the questions the committee has
not yet been able to solve. In
whatever way the matter may be
settled it cannot be done without
bringing hardships upon some.
and it is generally upon those who
are least abfe to bear them
