TAX COMMISSION
WORKS OUT PLAN
WOULD ABOLISH MONEYS AND
CREDITS TAX AND CLASSIFY
PROPERTY IN THE STATE.

Pierre, s. D.=The report Of the
state tax commission will contain six
Recommendations for constitutional
amendments before an adequate tax
law can be enactedsfA this state,
three of these amendments changing
existing provisions, and three of them
wiping out present restrictions. The
first recommendation ls In regard. to
Section 17isArticle VI, striking from
that section the uniformity" pro-
vision, leaving 1t to read: mo tax or
duty shall be imposed without the
consent OF the people 81 their repre-
s~entatives IN, the legislature"
The second Recommendation is for
the elimination of Section 18, Article
VI, which attempts to prevent CLASH
acation of property, and requires all
to be taxed on the samesbasis.
The next is In relation to Section
%. Article XII, which specifically de-
clares that all taxes shall be uniform
on all classes of property. The pro-
posed change Is: Taxes shall be
levied and collected Tor public pur-
poses only and shall bessslniform up
on all property of the same class sub
ject to taxation within the territorial
limits Of the authority leyying the
same, and all taxes shall be levied
and collected by general law. The
Legislature shall have power to divide
property into classes and determine
what classaor classes ofpropeffy shall
be subject to t~axation..F Taxes may
also be imposed upon-incomes, priv
fleges and occupationss,r which taxes
may be either proportional or grad
8uated and progressive and reason
able exemptions may be provided;
franchises and licenses to- do bust
ness In the state, gross earnings and
net incomes may be consideredsin tax
ing persons, Arms, joint stock COM
panies. associations. co-partnershtps.
or corporations"
The commission alsoSproposes to
strike out all OF Section OF Article
XXI. This attempts to provide for
taxation of monies andecredits.
The commission would amend
Section S. Article XII. to read: ..The
Legislature shall BY general law ex-
empt from taxation property used
exclusively for Agricultural and hor-
.ttcultural societies. for schools, ~
ligIous, cemetery and charitable pur-
poses.s This cuts from the original
provisions personal properly exeinp4
