California viii Adopt Methods
by Which Cities and MuniC-

Tax Matters
WOULD AID IMMIGRATION
Canada Has Grown by Leaps and
Bounds, and This Is Ascrlbed to
Exemption From Taxation on Ger.
tain Properties and for Reason
able Tlme-A Modification Of the
Single Tax and an improvement.

San Francisco, March S.-Born Of
the desire Of many communities An
California to do away with archaic
methods OF taxation and planning 10
profit by the experience OF western
Canada, Oregon and Washington. n
constitutional amendment for home
rule in taxation has been drafted
and will be submitted to the voters
OF California at the general election
In November, An initiative petition
to place the proposed amendment
upon the ballot will be circulated
Immediately throughout the state by
the California League for Home
Rule in taxation and the necessary
number Of signatures--a little more
than SOO0O-are expected to be
speedily secured
Backed by the California state
League Of Municipalities. by the tax
experts Of nearly every city and
county in the state, by the forces u
organized labor by the Socialists
and progressive taxation societies
and bearing the approval of Cover
nor Johnson, the measure seems GER
tain Of success.
Tremendous growth OF western
Canadian cities where taxation has
been adjusted to foster progress, has
forced the demand for changed reye
nue. systems all along the coast as
measure Of self protection. Wash
ington cities have been compelled 10
alter their taxation methods TO COM
pete with cities across the border.
Oregon already has adopted constl
tutional amendment for home rule in
taxation. A number Of counties in
Oregon. notably Multnomah, which
includes the city Of Portland-will
vote this fall on exemption Of all Inn
proyements and personal property
from taxation. An influx Of capital to
build and invest where a penalty Is
not placed upon industry, with ac-
companying prosperity IL expected TO
follow just as II followed when Van
couver, D. C., adopted similar
course. California cities and coun-
ties plan to take similar action to
protect themselves against such COM
petition and maintain their growth.
Success OF the amendment for
home rule In taxation does not mean,
necessarily that California commun-
tiles will do these ihlnss. Sat Il
Will place In the hands Of the people
the power to do so II the majority Of
people deem II necessary or deslra-

"Assnming that every one Is obey-
