COMMISSION
INITIATES
TAX BILLS

The tax commission is preparing a
bill on the inheritance tax law,
which 1t proposes to initiate at the
coming general election.
The law will considerably increase
the present tax and will place the
administration of the law in the
hands of the tax commission instead
of the state treasurer as is now the
case.
The commission is also busy draw
ing a number of other bills on tax
subjects. One of them will deal with
the income tax, being patterned after
the Wisconsin law. Another makes
an exemption in favor of household
ers, there being no law on the sub
ject at the present.
Just as soon as drawn all meas
ures will be placed in the hands of
the state printer and when he is
through with them, petitions in their
favor Will be circulated

gether to discuss the situation, and to
see what was best to be done.
"I do not believe in the methods
thus far pursued by the citizens here
in dealing with this trouble" added

course as has been followed is dis
grace to the city. What we seek to do
and what we believe is proper to meet

this thing in a sane way and by CO.
