annual address to the city council the
other day, gave unqualified endorse
ment to the commission plan of gov
eminent in force there. In speaking
of the annual report, which he said
would be issued shortly, he declared:
I'VE believe this report will show
up very satisfactory as to the Wis
dom of the people in adopting the
commission form of government and
in their Judgment in selecting the
first members of that commission.
I believe it is the only form of
municipal government. There are
those, no doubt, who will think diff
ferently. but firmly believe that If
the question was put to vote today
the people would very emphatically
express their opinion for a continue
ton of the present form of govern

PRACTICAL REFORM

Iowa City Republican: The moneys
and credits tax bill passed by the
senate last week went through the
house yesterday and now needs only
the signature of Governor Carroll to
make it law. The governors sigma
ture certainly will be appended. The
new tax law is not perfect measure.
but it emobdies the most substantial
tax reform effected in Iowa since the
recent taxation code has been on the
statute books. There is no question
that it will go on record as the most
important legislative achievement of
the Thirty-second general assembly.
Under the new law Iowa will aban-
don the impossible effort to enforce
collection of the general property levy
on moneys and credits. Attempt to
make the holders of money and cred
its pay several times as high tax as
was paid by land owners. The effort
involved moral Injustice and economic
absurdity. Holders of moneys and
credits would not submit to the injus-
tice. Collection of the tax at first
was easily eyaded and it was gener-
ally eyaded Then the tax ferret was
brought in to bring the tax dodgers
to time. The tax ferret only made
matters worse. He could get at only
small percentage of the tax dodgers.
Those he got would not long submit
to the injustice. They sent their CAPT
tai out of the state. and many of them
moved out after it. The Iowa colony
in California is monument to the fol
ly of the old tax on moneys and
credits. The new law will help to

ilected It once in while. The new
millage tax will be more generally
paid than the old because it Is moro
reasonable 1t should bring in more
, revenue than was obtained by spo-
radio collection OF the old tax. 1t will
be lodged in some instances unless
extraordinary measures are taken to-
enforce collection. The ideal solution
/ of this phase OF the taxation prob
lem would be complete elimination OF
the tax OH money. The elimination
would work more to the interest Of
the borrower than of the lender, for
the borrower must pay whatever tax
lis imposed on the money. -ut it will
be time enough to talk of that when
1owa's taxation system as a whole
more closely approxirnates the ideal.
For the present very material inn
proyement has been wrought, and the
Legislature deserves much credit for
advanced treatment OF generally
misunderstood question.
| The new tax law also provides
new system of taxing banking capital.
Banking capital is placed in a class
by itself, and local assessors are in
structed to assess it at 20 per cent OF
actual value instead of the conveit
tional % per cent supposed to be ap
piled to land values. The regular 10
cal rate of taxation is to be applied
to this 20 per cent assessment, and
this is intended to place banking CAPT
tai about on parity with other prop
erty. Bankers wanted flat millage
tax of 10 mills on actual value, based
on the same principle as the moneys
and credits tax. They would have pre-
ferred 1919 mill flat tax to the pref
erential of per cent in assessment
now accorded them, claiming that the
margin allowed will not cover dis
ordinations against bank capital as
compared with real estate in fixing
assessed valuation. The legislature.
however, was unable to see the merit
of the bankers argument, and the ar
rangement made represents it's best
effort to equalize bank and farm
taxes.
