HOW TAXES WERE PAID.

Switzerland has always prided 1t.
self on its independence, and in fiscal
matters this proud spirit, which will
brook no interference with the rights
OF the individual, even by the state IN
quest of revenue, has sometimes been
exhibited in curious ways, says the
Pail Mall Gazette. AS the inquisitorial
methods Of income tax collectors are
abhorent to the freedom-loving Swiss
boxes were once or twice set up in
several oantons to receive the volun.
tary contributions Of loyal citizens. It
was hoped that this method Of relying
on the public spirit of the people
would prove successful In raising
money for public ends, but, alas for
human nature; In the course OF few
years the collectors. on opening the
boxes, found nothing but-trousers

TAX REFORMS NEEDED

From the 1907 annual report Of the
Taxpayers association of Hamilton
county. Ohio: "We now have a COM
mittee at work to cooperate with the
Ohio State Tax Commission in secur-
Ing absolutely needed tax reform. so
as to divide the burden justly and fair
iy. One thing absolutely necessary Is
the repeal Of section 2, article IL. of
the Ohio Constitution in order to give
the legislature proper power TO rsgu-
late taxation.
1--WE favor reasonable income tax
for those with large incomes, and espe-
cially the franchise corporations, who
usually get off very easy, although
their profits are large. owing to lack OF
competition. A properly graded in
heritance tax not affecting the poorer
class also meets with favor.
Real estate mortgages ought to be
exempt, as 1t is double taxation, and
In reality serves only to raise the m
terest paid by the borrower white the
money lender reaps the benefit by con-
cealing them from the assessor"

SUGGESTED REFORMS


The present legislature, which
meets next winter. will have the op-
portunity to pass some legislation
which will make history. There is
need for considerable legislation
along certain lines, and II the present
attitude of the two big political par
ties remains as 1t is at present, there
ought to be little difficulty in doing
some lsgislating for the people Both
the present tax law. In fact. both
parties have been pledged to a thor.
ough revision which will in a large
measure relieve the small property
holders from carrying the present un-
equal tax burdens. insurance reform
is another measure to which both par
ties have pledged themselves. Both
parties have declared for a primary
law. whereby the voters may declare
their choice OF candidates to be placed
on tine various tickets, including the
nomination of United States senator.
Besides these measures. for which
nearly everybody has declared. there
- the county lCcal option measure,
for which the temperance elements in
both parties are working and against
which the liquor interests without re-
gard to political creed will work with
all their might.
That there should be some radical
changes in the municipal code as it
stands now has also been agreed by
most persons who have watched It's
practical application. There are a
lot Of other things, both little and big,
which will probably have the atten'
ton of the present legislature when
it meets again. Altogether, there
will be plenty doing next winter It

CALIFORNIA COMPLAINS
THE SAME AS OHIO

California's commission on revenue
and taxation, authorized TO recon-
mend a modern and effective system
OF taxation, finds conditions In that
state much like those OF Ohio. The
commissions conclusions include the
statement that the present system of
taxation does not meet the demands
made upon It; that 1t is antiquated and
has not been revised to keep pace with
modern conditions. That II Is full Of
inequalities, which impose handicap
on the growth OF the state and that
these inequalities twist and dstort the
industries OF the state and prohibit
symmetrical development of its re-
sources.
That identical statement could be
applied to Ohio's condition. California
wants Just what Ohio is after, and the
commission of California emphasizes
its recommendation in these words;
"The taxes paid by farmers In Cal
ifornla are equivalent to an. income
tax of 10 per cent; by manufacturers.
only per cent
"Our chief tax, called general
property tax, has in fact become real
estate tax.
Money and credits escape taxation
almost entirely.
Equalization, so-called, does not
equalize,
Under the present system II is i'm
possible to adjust the burden Of tax
alton equitably between different
classes of corporations.
Our present system is school for
perjury puts a penalty on honesty
and pays high premiums for dis
honesty"

STATE TAXATION PROBLEM.

The address of Hon. F. A. Derthick
at the meeting Of the Fairfield oranges
last Saturday was devoted to q discus
sion Of the taxation question. II was
an off-hand speech, delivered with
vigor and in clean-cut words. Mr..
Derthick has been doing a great deal
Of work in the grange Of this state,
in intoxicating some new ideas on the
subject Of taxation. He regards the
present system as full of fraud, injus.
tice and oppression, and is injuring
The state, morally and financially.
He opposes the old rule regarding
uniform taxation, which put all prop
erty upon a level, when, as a matter
of fact, 1t could not be put upon a
level, and II II was, II wouldn't stay,
which fact has cheated the state out
OF millions of dollars, taxed honesty
and filed the commonwealth with
perjury.
Mr.. Derthick plead for some clasifi-
cation Of property that would yield
just revenue He did not state Just
what the classification should be, but
limited that 1t would possibly be a real
estate class and personal property
class. and the latter divided into tangi-
BILE and intangible property. In this
way, we would derive q large revenue
from q species Of property that now
goes scot free; and scot free, bear ip
mind, because pubic sentiment
exists that 1ustiies false swearing to
make II so. Was there ever q depth
Of infamy pushed upon . community
equal to this? How cen We walt with
patience till we are MED from this
slough?
There 10 no man In Ohio doing Q
more righteous service than Mr.. =. A.
Derthick. master Of the Ohio grange.
We hope he will keep up his manly
contention. and win the whole grange
TO his standard. II he does. there WI
be something done. Editorial. Ohio

UNIFORMITY OF LAWS.

II Is now rror2scd to agitate tn
need of uniform Avs N taxation T.
the different states To q lvanca t'i'
cause. convention ts to he held in Co
lumtus, C, in N7vc lhcr. to which
representatives from every state viii
be invited az ven as students end pro
fessors In uv'v~rs't'"s pnth theorCt
ical and practical men will be heard
The convention Is called bv the ma
tional conference on state and local
taxa. ion with the aontoval OF Cover
nor Harris cf Ohio and the Ohio board
of trade. I~'mod ate uniformity of tax
laws is not expected The idea is to
bring r'en who study taxation together
and to get the best thought Of the time
before the dec at s. who will return
to their resuoc-ivn states and use
their influence before legislatures. II
is true that much property escapes
taxation because OF he different laws
of states and thor he same class Of
property pays widely varying rates in
the different states.
Demands for uniformity in laws are
numerous The divorce congress ad
vocates a uniformity in divorce and
marriage laws. Insurance men think
there should be uniformity in lnsur.
ance laws, or national coutrol should
prevail. Students Of sociology counsel
the same laws in all the states TO gov.
ern the parole of prisoners The Tor.
rens land law for the registration Of
titles, enac'ed in this state last win.
ter, is a uniformity law. The national
association of members of the bar has
often recommended uniformity in GER
tain kinds Of legislation. The move
ments for uniformity appear to go
along with the movement for increased
national control and. IN fact. they are
national ra her than state. The mod
ern states rights advocates have rea-
son to be concerned about the conven-
tions and congresses to promote the
same laws on given subject in all
the states.--Tacoma (Wash.) Ledger.

CLASSIFIED TAXATION.

At a meeting OF the state Commits
sion, Monday, J. J. Brooks, counsel for
the Pennsylvania railroad, spoke at
some length. Here is a paragraph from
his address:
Put the legislature where It can
classify. There Is no reason for appre.
tension. other states have 1t. In
Pennsylvania, intangible property pays
one-fourth of per cent. The result is
a surprisingly increasing volume OF
revenue to the state"
In this state we are hesitating to do
what in Pennsylvania the people are
glad they have done. They classify
property for taxation, so as to get the
best results. In Ohio, we refuse to
classify and get nothing. over there
they classify and get surprisingly
increasing volume Of revenue"
Taxation is both moral and a prao-
tical problem, but we are solving It in
Ohio, so as to make it both immoral
and impracticable. We fill the state
with perjury and keep money out OF
the treasury both. II this isn't clean
statement of the effect Of the system,
we would like to have somebody crit
icize It.
And what is in the way? The preju-
dice against disturbing the uniform
rule. II is thought there would be an
ugly preference II classification would
be substituted for uniformity. What
is the use OF keeping up a system that
adds to the burdens Of the people who
pay taxes?
We are glad to note there is good
deal of intelligence getting around
among the people upon this subject of
taxation. and If the Tax Commission
doesn't hurry mp. It will get left. The
people are getting tired Of the perjury,
injustice and low revenues that the
present system inflicts. They begin
to 'see that the only uniformity that
the uniform rule secures is that. in all
caees whore neop'e pay taxes their
burdens are Increased. - Editorial.
