LETTER FROM HOLT

extra session of the legislature and
that the legislature is not response
Bile altogether, would like to say a
few words through your valuable
paper.
The 3Sth general assembly, which
closed May 18th, did as much, |
suppose, as any previous assembly,
but there is one thing we did not
do that the governor thinks we
should have done; namely, pass a
revenue bill, hence the extra ses-
sion. The call for an extra session,
so far as | know, was a complete
surprise to the members of the leg
islature, All appropriations neces-
Sary for the running of the state
government were passed, but the
appropriations made amount to
more than the present rate of taxes
at the present assessment will bring
in. think the call is for the pur-
pose of providing means by which
all appropriations can be met, rath-
er than for the governor to use his
pruning knife again.
There is no doubt in my mind
that the revenue question for run
ming the state government is the
greatest question before the people
of the state today. The House of
Representatives tried to solve this
question with the Bradham-Hurst
bill which it spent forty days and
nights amending and adjusting, but
after all this work the Senate, in a
heat of passion, postponed its con-
sideratien until after adjournment.
While h e Bradham-Hurst bill
might not have been perfect, and in
all probability was not, yet | think
it is the bill that would have equal
lied taxation. think also if the
Bradham-Hurst bill had been passed
there would not have been an extra
session called.
Only a few years ago the taxes
received would run the state GOV
ernment very well, but the legisla-
ture of 1905 reduced the general
tax levy from 2 Ia mills to4l 3,4
mills and since that time there has
been new institutions established,
which are now an extra expense to
the state. Some of these institu-
tons are the State Normal School,
the agricultural schools, the reform
school, the sanitarium for consump-
tives and others, which greatly in
crease the expenses of the state.
The regular session passed some
laws that will help in the way of
getting revenue from those who
should bear the burden of taxation,
but have escaped to great extent
in the past. One by Senator Hen
derSon, which | had the honor of
passing through the House, taxing
all corporations in the state one
tenth of one per cent as a franchise
tax, This bill will bring into the
general revenue fund not less than
100000 annually, and some esti-
mate as high as $l50,000. Another
bill passed was one that will give
the equalization boards and tax
commissioners a right to appeal
from the county courts TO the cir
cult and supreme courts. This bill
will help protect the small taxpayer
by looking after the larger ones,
