Vital Changes in Our System Of
Taxation Proposed.

The Tax Commission of Louisiana,
appointed by Gov. Blanchard for the
purpose OF Investigating the subject ol
taxation and proposing such changes
as ought to be made in the prevalent
| methods of raising revenues for the
| support Of state, parochial and nj.
nieipal governments and other public
objects, held an important meeting
last Monday, in New Orleans, and
after lengthy discussion and consider.
alton of the subject, decided to recon.
mend the adoption OF constitutional
amendments and the enactmentof laws
looking to The thorough reformation
of the anttquated, complicated, in.
equitable and inefficient system Of
taxation in vogue in Louisiana.
The most vital and important ele.
ment of The proposed reform is a com
plete separation of the state and local
taxes, so that the state revenues will
be raised from sources which will be
exempt from taxation by parochial,
municipal or district authorities, and
vice versa, the revenues needed for
local purposes will be derived from
sources that are not subjected to tax
alton BY the state.
The tentative plan prepared by
Chairman Farrar and approved by
the commission suggests the following
as the proper, sources OF state revenue:
L An equal and uniform tax on railroads
tother than street railroads., sleeping car COM
panies, telephone companies, telegraph coiil-
panies twire and wireIessi. express companies
pine line companies canal and navigation COM
panies, steamboat companies. etc
2. 4 franchise tax -en corporations, domestic
and foreign.
3. An inheritance tax.
4. TIE excise tax.
If these sources of revenue shall not he sutii-
Gent, the deficiency may be apportioned pro
rata among the parishes and municipalities Ia
proportion to the whole amount of taxes they
leyy for gensIa purposes.
AilatheF property to be taxed solely for local,
pareehlal or municipal purposes.
One Of The greatest ad autages ofthe
adoptioa Of this improved system will
be to do away with the complications
and complaints arising from tnequa
ity of assessments. siHce each parish
add maaieissa4itg viii control It's assn
assess menls and tax rate and viii
rot 81 concerned ii either The alua.
The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1908-04-25

ton of property aor the rate OF taxa
tlon fixed for state purposes.
In none of the countries Of the Old
World is our crude and unsatisfactory
system of assessing and taxing real
estate and personal property for state
purposes in vogue. Canada has long
since discarded it. and number OF
the most progressive and prosperous
states of the American Union have
done likewise sor are preparing to do
so. Louisiana and many of her sister
states are behind the age in this re-
spect, aud the sooner the reformation
can be brought about, the better it
will BE- for them.
Among the changes that will doubt
less be recommended by the tax COM
mission are the assessment of real es-
tate separately from the buildings and
Improvements on it, and either the
total abolition of the present nominal
lax on mortg ages-nominal in the
sense that it is seldom collected, al
though the law exacts tor the sub.
stitution of a small tax, say one half
of one per centum, to be paid only at
the time of the original Inscription
and at the re inscription OF the mort
gage.
A committee of the Commission,
composed of Messrs. Solomon Wolff,
chairman; w. O. Hart, James j.
O'Connor, Philip Werlein and NJ. H.
Carver, was appointed to draft the
constitutional changes that will be
neeess airy to carry the proposed re-
forms into effect, and the committee is
to report at a session Of the oaumis-
sion to be held at Chairman Ldgar e.
Farrar's Office, Hibernia Bank build
ing, New Orleans, next Friday eve
ing, May l. This report and the ac-
ton of the commission thereon will be
looked for with much interest by all
who feel concerned in the important
subject of state and local taxation and
tile betterment of the cumbersome and
faulty system of tax-raising to which
Louisiana has already clung far too
many years.
