counties. by overlooking such
available sources of revenue as u
mortgage recording tax. which,
together, would nearly, il not
quite, make mp The revenues from
the present state property tax.
SEVENTH. The provision for
home.rule or local option, whereby
the people of each locality Tin cit
les under the limitations OF their
charters) eau determine for them.
selves the taxation Of their own
property for their local needs, as
they now determine questions of
business or license taxation, would
be in accord with the highest pub.
lie policy. Possible abuses OF this
right of home rule are prevented
by the requirement of uniformity.
EIGHTH. Amendment will enable
the growing cities of the State.
such as Mexico, to provide for
their own needs through their own
assessment without thereby increas.
ing the county or state tax, as the
county tax will be levied upon the
county assessment aud there will
be no state tax.
NINTH. The amendment does
not exempt any property from tax
alton but only provides a means,
aud the system can be made effec-
tive and adapted to the constitu-
ton Of modern society. 1t will
place Missouri in line with the
other progressive States of the
country from New York to Okla
homa.
TENTH. The present system is q
crushing burden upon the produc.
ers of the State, such as farmers,
whose personal property, such as
live stock aud farm implements
cannot be concealed. This iscon-
clusively shown by the returns of
the recent assessment, wherein q
far greater proportion Of personal
property is assessed in the coun ties
than in the great cities Of the
State. This inequality cannot
be remedied under the present
system. The true remedy is
to substitute an effective for an in.
effective tax, which is made pos
sible under this amendment. \
tax which can be evaded is nee.
cessarily an unequal tax, because
it discrimiuates against the honest
and scrupulous man IN favor OF
the dishonest aud INSCRIPTIONS.
: ELEVENTH. This amendment was
} distinctly recommended by thu
platform of the Democratic party
in its convention of 1900, when il
: favored the raising OF all State tax
, alton from licenses and corpora
. tiOns, leaving the real and per
sonal property in the counties an(
cities to be taxed only for loca
: purposes. thus solving the vexeC
, question of equalization without
increasing the burden upon an!
/ interest" This is exactly wha
r this amendment affords the oppor
. tunity for doing.
! TWELFTH. This amenlmeu
r was not RECOMMENDED by Gov. Fol
. but endorsed by the State Associa
I ton of County Assessors at thei
: recent meeting Ia Boouville, wherl
> they recommended il tothe people fo
i. adoption, aud also by the Stat
Teachers Association at their re
o cent meeting at Joplin. where the

o taxation was a direct hindrance I,

TWELVE REASONS.
State and County Taxes Should
be Separated-A Dis
cussion.

Hon +. N. Judson Of st. Louis
discussed the eighth proposed con-
Stitnti0nal amendment ut the Mex.
leo court house last Thursday
night.
He made it pretty clear that the
amendme mt should carry. II will
save the people generally II cents
on the 800 State tax every year
at least.
He used twelve points in his ar.
gument. as follows:
FIRST. IL will at once relieve
the people of the State from the
burden of the present State tax
which is now lie, which will be
withdrawn from the general real
aud personal property of the State.
The state tax now amounts to over
two million dollars, aud its remov-
al will be an immediate relief to
every tax payer in the State.
SECOND. This removal of the
State tax will remove the existing
inequalities Of the different cities
and counties of the State IN pay
ment of the State tax, resulting
from the present system of levy.
ing that tax upon the same as.
sessmeat whereon city, county aud
school taxes are levied.
THIRD. 1t will save the cost of
collecting the State revenue from
the general property tax, as well
as the expense of the State Board
of Equalization in their futile ef-
forts to remedy the inequalities in
the payment of that tax by the diff
ferent counties growing out of the
unequal valuation of property
therein.
FOURTH. 1t will enable the
State to substitute an effective for
an ineffective system Of taxation,
by providing q State revenue from
such q tax as a State recording
tax on mortgages. which has
proved so successful in New York
realizing four to five million dol
lars per annum. Such tax can.
not now be levied under the pres.
ent Constitution, as the State has
now no power to exempt mort.
cages from local taxation, anG
such a tax cannot be levied without
exemption. A tax of a of l pei
cent upon the debt secured by tn,
mortgage in lieu of all other taxa
ton would prove iu Missouri. al
it has in New York aud othel
States, benefit to both borrower
and lender as it would facilitat,
the making Of loans, aud thu
cause a reduction in the rate of in
terest thereon, while at the sam,
time it would secure a revenue t.
the State which would be direc
relief to the taxpayers. from /
source where now there is little o
no revenue. This mortgage re
cording tax would apply to foreign
lenders as well as to those of on
} own State, aud the former now es
cape all taxation. Such a tax, i
10 estimated, would realize an
! nually in Missouri at least on
million dollars aud probably a con
= sideTably larger amount.
B FIFTH. The State could ais
: levy a corporation tax. Thus th
E Tax Commission OF 1903. aud ais
Gov. Folk recommended a tax {
3 l.15 Of l per cent upon the capitl
a stock aud surplus of corporations
g Such a tax was objected to becaul
8 it would be an unjust burden wit
q the present State tax upon the re
y aud personal prOperiyo of the co
{ poration. Bat with this tax r
I moved there could be no ObjectiC
to it. aud 1t wonld be an effecti'
: tax, producing q revenue to Il
taxpayers Of the State.
SIXTH. These available al
possible sources Of revenue dispO
