ATC0LUMBUs, o., conference
State and National Governments
Should More Clearly Define Their
Sources of Revenue.

Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 13.-Reform
in taxation in its various phases was
discussed yesterday at the opening OF
the national conference ON state and
local taxation. Many commissions
throughout the country are consider
ing the problems of assessment, taxa
ton and revenue, and the delibera-
tions are expected to be of permanent
benefit. The. tax dodger and other Of
tenders came in for consideration.
Wants Uniform System.
Governor Guild of Massachusetts
said the time is ripe for clear under
standing among all the common
wealths as to:
1. What methods of taxation are
and what are not desirable.
2. OF desirable methods which are
the fairest and most practical.
g. Which taxes should be reserve!
for national and which for state or for
local revenue
"The president suggesting national
inheritance tax and national graduated
income tax has touched upon a great
evil" he said. 1T is true that state
or city tax that presses hard upon the
inheritors of great fortunes may, If
our present utter lack of uniformity
in taxation, be readily avoided by e
tax dodger who chooses to take out a
legal residence in another city or
state. 1t is just that the possessors of
hundreds of thousands as income
should be taxed not merely actually
but relatively more than those pos
sessed of more modest revenue"

commercial value is not apparent.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1907-11-13

The demonstration was arranged by
firm of automobile dealers. The in
vention was made by Jules Revillier,
French automobile enthusiast. The
body of the machine is shaped exactly
like an ordinary motor boat. The
wheels are made of hollow steel plates
and have ordinary automobile tires
They are thus available for road sec-
vice, and act as air chambers to help
keep the machine afloat when in the
water, and as Keel. to prevent it
turning over, A simple mechanical
contrivance shifts the power from the
driving wheels to the propeller as the
boat enters the water.
