Production Tax, the rate Of taxation

can be lowered, \ fact II is possible
that as the state grows older that the
time will arrive when It will not be
necessary to levy a state tax. The
local tax is the high tax and the more
local the higher ii generally is, for
instance our school tax is our highest
tax. On the western side of the state
It costs more than twice as much to
run school now as It did ten years
ago and it stands to reason that if a
farmer paid ten dollars tax tan years
ago he would pay twenty dollars school
tax now. The reason for this is obvf-
Gus Teachers wages during the past
ten years have almost doubled within
the state of Oklahoma and yet there
are but few persons who would be so
foolish as to assert that our teachers
arc over paid Everything Is higher
than II was ten years ago and stlll
few farmers would care to 20 back TO
the basis Of five cent cotton and twenty
cent corn. They prefer to incur the
necessary extra expenses and get the
present prices for their farm products,
Ia fact il is easier to pay twenty dol
lars school tax today than 1t was ten
dollars school tax ten years ago. What
is true of school taxes is also true of
county and township taxes. There
seems TO be but small chance of ma.
terially lowering local taxation in the
near future unless we stop building
roads and bridges and cut down the
length of school terms.
