SUBMIT REVENUE LAW
Representative Baker Starts Petit ti0ns to Refer it to People at
 Next General Election

The expected attack upon the celebrated Turner-Jaeobson reve- nue bill, which was passed by the recent legislation without the emergency clause, has already been started. Representative W. D. Baker of this county, who opposed the bill has started the circulation of a petition for its submission to the people, and il will not require much effort to get enough signatures 10 submit the act, as less than seven thousand would be needed. 4 dozen petitions started in an many counties would roll up that many names in a few days. The act would then be sub mitted at the next general election at q very considerable cost to the people who are protesting against what they fear will prove an in- crease in taxation. The Tax Com mission has announced that the ensuing assessment and tax eoIlee- ton will be under the terms of the old rather than the new law to avoid the confusion that would inevitably follow an attempt to put the new law into effect at this time. But this does not ap- pear to pacify the opponents of the bill. All sorts of flaws, incon- sistences, and jokers are being dis covered in 1t by it's critics, and the indications are that d hard fight will be made to secure its rejection by the people.
 Representative Baker, who op- posed the bill in the legislature, says that all of those to whom he has presented the petition have shown d willingness to sign 1t. He declares that all those with whom he has talked have denounced the bill in strong terms. He says that he will devote every minute he can spare until September 10 10 circulating the petitions.
 WHY HE FAyoRS ITS. SUBMISSION
 When asked by The Journal why he desired to have the bill re ferred to the people, Mr. Baker replied:
 q think the Tumer-Jacobson bill should be referred to the peo- pie because l believe the people should be given q voice in govern mental affairs, especially in mat ters affecting them so greatly as does this revision of the tax laws.

STATE HAS BEEN ROBBED

The States general revenue fund has for more than two years been insufficient to pay the ex- penses of the State government and pay for the various public enterprises that the State has been carrying forward. IL is for this reason that d revision of the reye- nuc laws was deemed necessary by Governor Donaghey, through whose influence the Turner-Jacob- son law was passed. Reminded of this, Mr. Baker said:
 Long-term legislatures, reckless expenditure of the States funds and the tax-dodger has sapped the State Treasury, which has so long been supplied by the honest tax payer, until now they say there is an emergency. The only relief is, of course, more and higher taxes.
 It is fact yet undisputed, Mir. Baker continued, that the man of ordinary means is the one who assesses his property on an equitable basis, while the tax dodger, armed with political pres tige, views the situation with

The Newark journal., 1911-06-30
OBJECTIONABLE FEATURE

Among other radical changes from the present system, the Tur- ner-Jacobson law seeks 10 put all property on the tax books at it's true value, and one section of 1t reads: The officers in charge of the assessing shall value each article or description of property by itself and at such sum or price as they believe the same to be worth in money The long established custom has been to assess property at fifty per cent of its value, and Mr. Baker strenuously objects to this feature of the new law, claim ing that it will only serve to place additional burdens upon the small tax payer. Discussing this feature of the law, Mr. Baker said.
 1t is an easy task to make the ordinary man meet his part of the taxes, but to get the fellow higher up and the corporate interests is something that has never been done. Since 1871 we have been Waging war in an effort to make corporate intesestS place a fair as sessment upon its property, but with all the money expended in lawsuits against these monstrous tax eyaders, they are today assess ed in this State at less than thirty per cent of their true value.
 Now" concluded Mr. Baker, with emphasis, how many years do you suppose it would take to make them assess their property at its full and true value in mon- ey,' and who would be paying on this basis while that was being done?"
