NEW REVENUE AND
TAX LAWS PROPOSED
BY THE GOVERNOR

roads Of the state will BE- exempt from
an ad valorem tax and win be taxed
on their gross receipts, and the rates
of taxation on the railroads will scale
according to the difference between
their gross receipts and their operat-
ing expenses. the railroad paying the
highest tax being, the one with the
smallest nercent9ge sof operating ex-
| penses as compared with the gross
hreceipts. 1t is understood, though the
members OF the committee did not so
state, that the rate for Glass A for
the railroad making the greatest per
cent Of profit will be 2 mills, scaling
downward as the scale OF operating
i expenses increases. AS is the Oklaho-
ma mileage OF the system so will be
the Oklahoma proportion ectimated on
the total receipts of the system, and
the counties wih be similarly appor-
TONED. each county taking as its gross
receipts proportion Of the entire re-
ceipts Of the state as the mileage of the
railroad in that county is propoltloned
to the entire mileage in the state.
The excise board bill Is said to be
an entirely new idea, and proposes to
put the counties on the same basis as
the state as regards the leyying OF tax
es and the disbursement thereof. The
bill proposes to take the power OF levy
Ing taxes from the county commission
ers and place 1t In an excise board,
which shall be elected or or appointed
BY the district Judge and which shall
have the sole power for levying taxes
in the county and passing on the levy
OF townships and districts. The bill
proposes that the excise board SHAH
meet ten days each year and shall re-
ceiye IS per day for their services
The purpose OF this bill, SO It Is un-
derstood is to prevent the temptation
that comes to county commissioners,
under the present system. Of carelessly
spending money ana carelessly levying
additional taxes for more expenditures.
The corporation tax bill is a meas
ure simply constructed and probably
will provide that all corporations ex-
cept those paying gross revenue tax
shall. in addition to their ad valorem
tax. shall pay a special and additional
tax 81 capitalization each year
It Is understood that these bills are
offered the revenue and taxation com
mittee as foundation on which 10
gin work and Il Is probable that they
will come out Of the committee some.

The legislature has under considera-
tion several revenue and taxation
measures which are Of great interest
to the entire state Three OF the bills

The Chipola-Flint
Chattahoochec Assn.

The recent meeting Of the Chipo-
Observation-Disclosures Association
in Albany is a matter Of interest t.
all the peosle Of this section OF tho
state. Lee county is interested IN
the work that this waterways con
vention has in hand, as anything
that benefits the Flint river will be
Of advantage directly and indirectly
to Lee county.
There was no representative from
Lee county present at the associa-
ton meeting. AS this county will
not likely be 50 directly affected by
any improvements inaugurated by
tile association, its official repre-
sentation probably did not matter
vgry much. 1t is true. however,
that the county cannot afford q
ignore the work that is being un-
dcrtaken to improve the Flint
river.
From the waterways associations
of the country have originated
practically al Of the movements
that have resulted in the improve
ment Of the nations harbors and
rivers. The moral support OF the
enterprising citizens Of Lee county
has already been enlisted in behalf
Of the work on local waterways,
Would it not be well that the prop
Ell county officers give their official
approval to the work that is being
done for our improvement in tins
field.
