The amendment is favored bv tho
State Tax Commission, which bodv
Induced the last legislature to sub-
NIT 1t to a vote of the people at the
forthcoming general election.
The constitution requires that all
property in the state be taxed in the
same general manner. Generally tho
purpose Of the amendment is IN al
low a special form of taxation for
railroads and public service cornor-
atoms, and it is the announced mr.

Will provide that all state taxes the
whole expense of conducting the
commonwealth, be borne exclusively
by the railroads and other public SER

other property in the state from state
taxes, but of course exempting the
public service corporations from any
than state taxes.
This plan is based largely unon
the taxation scheme which has re-

voters employed by the railroads of
the country have paid 25 cents and
been enrolled in the association
