Chamber of Commerce:

1t is generally supposed that the con-
cealers OF taxes are the corporations.
want to say to you that in MahoninE
county the corporations as a rule, do not
conceal their taxes. 1t is the private
individual. The corporations in Mahon-
ing county l think return their credits
for taxation at a pretty fair, equita BILE
value that will compare very favor0bly
with anybody else in the county; but pri-
Vate individuals as rule do not return
their moneys and credits as they should
While there is a good big sentiment
abroad which says that state and local
levies should be divorced, yet 1t seems 10

why Commlttee reported Adversely
An unfavOrable report on municipal
ownership was made to the city council
Of Kaukauna, Wis, by an aldermanic
committee that visited Bellefontaine,
Columbus, Richmond, Reeseville and
Evansville. Alderman Martin said the
lighting plant at Bellefontaine cost
$4,000; that the city owes $780,, 900
bonded debts and has tax rate Of
per cent. The city owns waterworks,
gas and electric lighting plants, con-
ducts extensive improvements and pays
it's public officials high salaries for
tending the plants.
Alderman Martin further says that In
other cities, in the effort to make
good showing plants are allowed to
run down until the amount they are
bonded for would not be covered by
the present value Of the property.-Mu-

C. A. Malone of the Chillicothe
Board of Trade:

With the purpose in mind Of represent
ing as fully as possible the views and
sentiments Of the merchants and manu-
facturers of our locality, l addressed a
communication to several gentlemen ask
ing to be advised of any thoughts OF
suggestions in relation to taxation.
1t is unanimously agreed among them
that the taxing system of Ohio is a most
deplorable failure when 1t comes to ac-
complishing the purpose for which 1t Is
intended-the raising of sufficient reve-
nue. for the needs of the state in Just
and equal proportion from each and all
of its citizens,
We are perfectly willing and feel safe
in submitting the whole matter to the
good judgment Of your commission
If in your wisdom, after being fully ad-
vised in the premises. you shall find that
our state constitution should be 30
amended as to exempt certain kinds Of
property from taxation to encourage and
increase business and for the general
good. l am fully confident your action
will be approved and the recommenda-
tion cheerfully and heartily supported by
those whom ! represent provided certain
property interests in our state which are
not now paying apy taxes at all are
made to bear their just proportion Of the
governmental expenses by proper taxa

Constitutional Amendment Will
Relieve Taxpayers.

Business Men Make convincing Arou'
ments to >ths Tax Commission Of
ohio-They Favor Classification Of
Property.
When representatives of boards Of
trade of Ohio cities made a combined
appeal to the Tax Commission of Ohio,
last month, for relief from injustice of
the present tax laws, they came forti-
fed with arguments that were prac-
tically unanswerable.
Below are given excerpts from the
arguments made to the commission:
Edward L. Buchwalter of the Spring
field Commercial club: ?
This is an important subject and
realize how difficult It Is to suggest
changes under our present state eonsti-
tuition that would be legal, that would
remove the many unjust features of our
present tax laws and that would make It
possible for taxpayers to submit tax re-
turns that would be reasonably accurate
and just. We can not expect to success
fully revise and perfect our tax laws un-
til we amend our state constitution. The
constitutional provisions for taxing prop
erty enacted more than SO years ago are
not adapted to present conditions We
should amend the constitution and give
to our legislative body the power to enact
tax laws.

Chas. u Shryock of the GAINESVILLE
Chamber of Commerce.:


1t is well that this commission should
hear an exhaustive discussion of the
matter, and let their recommendations
be such as will appeal to the common
sense Of the voter, who must Of necessity
decide what shall be done, If our consti-
tuition is to be changed, But don't pro-
pose elasticity. Let the lines be straight,
the rules rigid, and not q lot of open
questions to be decided or new methods
left for eacn legislature to juggle with.
and the courts to pass upon.
While opposing elasticity. l favor pub
licity. If attached to our present tax
laws was a provision for the publication
of every tax return. there would be less
cause of complaint. The most successful
churches are those which publish a list
of contributors; and they are only yOlun-
tary associations. How much more i'm
portant is the amount which every prop
erty owner must contribute toward the
cost of government.
