Tennessee from Galloway county,

State and Local. Tax.
Tn speaking to the question of the
separation of state and local taxation
to which separation Mr.. Adams OBJ
jects, he said:
1.-The influence or factors re-
sponsible for inefficient assessment
work are so numerous that the de-
sire to evade state taxes, is really a
negligible consideration. Enumerate
| these factors, first the inherent diff
culties of the task; next. the political
, atmosphere in which the assessor too
often works: then. the insufficient
time, insufficient pay. desire to evade
county taxation, desire to favor per-
sonal friends and political associates
enumerate these factors, and it is
| plain, without reference TO experience,
| that the mere discontinuance of state
| taxation of general property can work
no appreciable improvement. There
| is the same old struggle over the
county equalization, the same old
strife between city and county, the
| same old scramble by the individual
| to get under the local assessment
None Ever Quite Perfect.
1t Is probable that no tax system
will ever be devised that will not be
| criticised from one point or another.
| The aim should be to get the system
which will be most equitable and
therefore the most satisfactory to the
greatest number. The best laws are
| the product of development. A strict
| enforcement of the present law of
Kansas will bring to light its defects,
| and unjust features and will enable its
| administrative offices to devise and
recommend amendments for it's bet
| terment.
Kansas is now with other states in
| the van of the tax reform movement,
and the State Journal believes that the
end will justify the means. Let the
good work continue.
