KUHN ADVOCATES

Would Leave the Question OF Local
Taxation Entirely in the HANDS
Of County Officers.

In paper by Atty Gen. Frank
Kuhn. read before the Michigan AS
sociation OF Prosecuting Attorneys In
Lansing, the states chief legal ad-
wiser presented some views on taxa
ton which are not in accord with
the system now in use in Michigan,
but which met with the unanimous
and hearty approval of the attorneys
assembled.
The proposition that Mr.. Kuhn
made, and which he declares that
the state must soon meet, is the sep
aration of state and county finances.
He advanced the idea that any sys-
tenn that seeks to maintain an equita-
BILE system OF uniform taxation
throughout the state must necessar-
lily fail because of the innumerable
bases of valuation in vogue and the
inability of central equaliZing
board to arrive at an absolutely just
valuation in all cases.
Corporation Tax for State.
The encouragement would leave
the question of local taxation entire
ly in the hands of county officers
and maintain state government by
the corporation tax, now credited to
the primary school fund, which per-
mits the accumulation of unneces
sary funds in certain districts that

been assessed.
