FOR BETTER TAXATION

There is yet time to do something
toward amending the Missouri system
OF taxation along the admirable lines
laid out by the Tax Commissioner
whose report was published several
weeks ago.
Though the cities are the chief suf-
ferers from the inequalities Of the
present system, the rural counties
would be equally benefited by tho
change, since the removal Of the state
tax on real and personal property
would relieve them of state taxation
almost altogether.
II Missouri should adopt the plan,
successful in Pennsylvania and several
other states. of raising state revenue
wholly or mainly from corporation
taxes, licenses and inspection fees,
city interests would still pay the great
er portion Of state taxation. And yet
It is the cities which have the strong
est reasons for desiring the change.
Separation Of the sources Of state
and local taxation as absolute as that
which now exists between federal and
state taxation would work SO well in
all parts of Missouri that It Is sur
prising the legislature has not taken
steps to give 1t an initial trial.
The state taxes now paid by the
counties could be kept at home to
build up road funds in the rural coun-
ties, while the cities woud be enabled
to make their assessments for local
purposes as high or as low as they
please. without incurring an unjust
share of state burdens. A system that
has been found to work SO perfectly
elsewhere is the system for Missouri.
