For Graduated Privilege Tax.

tion of article 16 of the constitution
shall be changed by making it pos
sible for the general assembly to fix
a graduated privilege tax on land
holdings above 1000 acres held by
apv one party. Senator Holt says
be regards this policy as in keeping
with that of the government, which
limits the amount OF land any one
