lower taxes for all property owners, but
only in the sense that railroads, just as
auuM 'IsSBdxsl lsq4o 1uH 10 / 10 nox
lower rates. In no other sense can
see how it could be considered q railroad
proposition.
1T certainly does not benefit the rail-
roads as against other people, nor does it
in any way lessen their share Of the tax
burden. as compared with individuals.
Nobody has claimed during the campaign
that he wanted the railroads to pay more
tayes than individuals; the contention
has been. whether rightly or wrongly,
that the railroads should be taxed equal
" with individuals
'.The maximum tax rate does not af-
feet that proposition It makes no diff
ference whether the rate is high or low.
the railroads will have to pay their equit-
able proportion, like individuals.
Let me give an example In cer-
tain municipality Of this State the rate
is S3.25. with valuation of about one
third. which means net rate to. the
taxpayer of $1.08 1-3. Under the equal
iation of values, second-elass railroad
property viii pay in this locality not
1926 but Sl0S 1-3, whether their yalu-
ations are reduced to one-third or
whether the individual valuations are
raised to their full value.
Thus the rate under an equalization
of valuations neither adds to nor lessons
the proportion of taxes paid by the rail-
roads as compared with individuals.
Moreover, the bill provides that the
tax rate may be made just as high as
the taxpayers see fit TO make it. They
can raise the rate. therefore, from
1857, as fixed in the bill ($170 and
the school taxi, for large cities, to 4 per
cent. if they see fit.
with conditions such, leaving the FIX
ing of the rate to the people, how can
the railroads be said to have originated
the measure? The railroads would be
justified in complaining to an extent. for
they cannot vote, while the individual
taxpayer can. The latter then can raise
the rates by their votes. while the rail-
roads have no chance at the ballotbox
in the various localities. Thus you can
see that the railroads are not the parties
that will benefit"
