TAX COMMISSION OF MISSOURI
Makes Comprehensive Report In Which COnsti-
tlItionaI Amendment Is Recommended Pertinent
to Ohio


Louis, Is enforced by the pressing de.
ments. The board can not raise the
assessments of the counties which
make low valuation, as that would
be imposing an unnecessary burden
upon those communities, and on the
other hand, IL can not reduce the as.
sessment of those counties which
make high valuation without de-
priving them of the means required
for their own pressing public vents.
I'VE see no remedy for this existing
inequality and resulting injustice, ex-
cept in the separation of the sources
of state and local revenue. We re-
gard this separation of state and socal
revenues as basis of any fundamen-
tai reform OF the taxing system Of
Missouri.
"Jfnder the plan proposed, the state
would retain all it's Inherent powers
of taxation, except as to the general
property tax upon real and personal
property, which would be assessed
and collected by the counties and
cities for local purposes. The differ
ent forms in which this general txing
power of the state may be exercised
are well known. The state now lerieS
a tax upon insurance companies,
dramshops, express companies, sun.
dry corporations, license and inspec-
ton taxes. ana a collateral inheritance
tax. What other forms of taxation
may be adopted will be for the Gen
eral Assembly in its discretion, to de-
ternine. The system proposed re-
quires no change in the existing linn
itations upon the tax rates of the
counties, cities and school districts of
the state.
1.-The change recommended requires
no mobilization of the methods of as
sessing the property of railroads and
other public service corporations by
the State Board of Equalization That
system is statutory and it's continu.
ance or modification is subject to the
control of the General Assembly.
Should the present system be contin-
ued, whereby the assessed valuation
made by the state board is appor.
toned to the counties, the General
Assembly should continue the present
state tax upon such valuation and
provide for it's direct payment into
the state treasury"

Too Long MINDED.

The inhabitants of the Canary isles.
finding themselves oppressed by fam
inc, sent to the governor of Galicia one
of their head men as an ambassador.
They advised him not to lose himself
in long winded talk. He promised and
kept his word. He took with him a
large number of sacks. and, arriving
at the town where the governor was
on the circuit he opened one of them
before him, saying only these words:
at is empty. Fill it."
The governor ordered this sack and
the rest to be filed with meal. but he
said to the speaker: you had no need
to tell us that the sack was empty nor
that it was necessary to fill it. We
should have readily guessed that An
other time be briefer in your talk

WORK OF TAX COMMISSIONS
Review Of Progress Being Made In
Other States.

The commission of California was
created in 1905, charged with thor
ough investigation of the whole prob.
lem of taxation. It's report is a COM

that are now confronting most of our
states, but its recommendations are
moderate. The tax on personal prop.
erty is unqualifiedly condemned as in.

different classes of property, between
county and county, between city and
city, between city and county, be.
tween man and man. The attempts to
"equalize" the tax by state boards
only serve to intensity the injustices
and inequality. Moreover the tax is a
veritable school for perjury"
