Low TAXES AND HIGH TAXES.


Commenting on the recent census
which showed a loss Of population OF
about 250,OOO for she rural districts Of
Missouri, the Kansas City Star says:
1T is not without its significance that
the commonwealth which adyertlses
the lowest tax rate Of any state in the
union sbouid make the poorest showing
Of rural growth Of any state with any
thing like its advantages
The Star points out that there are
thousands OF untitled acres IN Mis-
sonri and methods Of agriculture are
backward AS starter in remedyIng
this condition the Star suggests:
For It's next l0-year period Missouri
should withdraw the old low taxes adj
yertisement (which keeps people away
from the state) and promise. instead,
10 give more for she money than tax
payers and homebuilders can get any.
where else
We infer from the above authority
thata low rate Of taxation Is not always
an unmixed blessing and neither is a
high rate necessarily a curse 1t is
not unreasonable to suppose that II
AIissourians had paid a little more an
around, the state might have been
saved from the rural deterioration
which Il has been undergoing. Larger
sums would have been available for the
improvement Of public highways. for
promoting scientific agriculture and
the general farm interests Of the state
and the reclamation Of waste lands.
The loss og SO many people from the
farms IS bound TO Affect land values
in the state and it is therefore easily
seen that the payment Of higher taxes
would have been a good business prop
osition to the state. Wo are inclined
to think that the Stars advice IS
wholesome.
You have heard a good deal Of howl.
ing about high taxes in Oklahoma.
They are high, II II true. and nobody
