that the report Of the Mckinley COM

Governor Cox hopes to have work
ed out plan by WHICH household
goods may be exempt from taxation.
This announcement was made at the
request of the governor by Attorney
General Hogan. 1t could be brought
about only by constitutional amend
ments. Exemption of the home Of
small home owners was talked of but
not acted upon by the constitutional
convention. Exception of household
goods would furnish relief from the
burden of taxation to renters, as well
as home owners, and so would affect
many taxpayers, less able to pay than
are even the smallest owner Of real
estate.
Mr.. Hogan said the great need was
to get at intangible property rather
than household effects. If this was
accomplished he thought there would
be no need for the classification.
