AN IMPORTANT MOVE ron TAX REFORMS.

There IS no public question in this country at pres
mt Of more importance than the general subject OF
aSation. There is not State in the Union whose tax
avs not unsatisfactory and that do not fail Of
bringing the returns contemplated desired by the
people
It is not to be denied TINT tho real cetate Of tho
country is paying more than its proportouatc share
Of taxation. And the worst tootwo about this dapro
portion is that the smaller real estate holdnge carry
the heaviest part OF the hurdou Various schemes for
correcting this Inequality have boon sugpcrtcd hut
none of them have yet borne satisfactory results
IT is now proposed that In May next at the Pan
American exposition at Buffalo there shall bc Kind
Of interstate tax convention consider the whole aueg
ton OF taxation and reach some general coucmaong
That are expected TO be Of practical utility all of
the States. AS said in the circular letter to tho news
papers from the secretary Of tho National Civic Fed.
Grafton that is moving for this meeting it Is probably
not too much to say that for over hundred years we
have been building up in this country systcm Of TAXA
ton that lacks consistency and justice and in many
respects, common scnsc
Tais conference at Buffalo will be tho first attempt
to work out some UNIFORM principles of Just and En-
fective taxation, and It is especially desirable there
fore, that the representative friends of tax reform and
tax progress from every State induced to attend tho
meeting and participate in the discussions and the con
illusions reached.
Texas, for year two past has been actively ng.
tatng this subject of tax reform No State ought 10
take deeper interest in the Buffalo conference than
ours II we not have the state adequately repre-
scented in display OF our at the pan-Amer,
can exposition we should at least have Representative
men there 10 take In this tax reform conference
PRACTICAL ideas might be obtained that would work
Veritabe revolution in our taxing system and bring
the State greater while operating with less in
Justice to the smaller taxpayers who are now bearing
virtually the whole burden of the cost of state county
and municipal governments.
