J. E. Frost, formerly member
of the state tax commission, in an
address before the League of North
west municipalities at Walla Walla
declared that the solution of the
tax problem in the state of Wash
ington would come in the freeing,
by a constitutional amendment, OF
the hands of the legislators so
they can profit by the experiences
of other states and get away from
the primitive methods now in use.
He said in part: 1.-The state OF
Washington is the only state in
the Union, and to my knowledge,
the only civilized community in the
world, that grants exemption to
predatory wealth and imposes the
entire burden of taxation upon
simple forms of property, upon the
farm, the home, the merchant and
the manufacturer"
