CRITICISES TAX SYSTEM.
B. F. Lindas Favors District Assess
ments on Land Values Only.

Voicing his objections to the present
system of taxation in the District, B. +.
Lindas of the Tax Reform Association,
in an address last night before the
Stenographers and Typewriters Union
explained the methods of taxation in
other cities, pointed out how it should be
done here, and declared that it seems to
have been the intention of this city to be
entirely different from any other mu-
nicipal corporation. Mr.. Lindas objected
to the triennial assessments, and said the
sensible plan would be to assess annually.
THE taxing OF improvements on prop
erty shou not continue" he said, but all
taxation should be shifted from improve
ments to land values only. The personal
property tax Is about the least equitable
of any tax that is possible to imagine. he
said.
ITO tax personal property is highly OBJ
jectionable. but to directly tax business
is even worse. To compel 4 man to pay
tribute to the government for permission
to spend his money and to engage in
profitable enterprise that will benefit the
community and furnish employment for
the citizens of the town is unima ginable
folly

SAYS DEMOCRATS SEE
DEFECTS IN NEW TARIFF
Representative Willis Says Trainers
Are Blaming Conditions
on Weather.

III l were you," said Representative
Willis republican, of Ohio fixing his eye
upon the reporter. L would write yarn
about the funniest thing In all the legis-
lation which is now before the House.
and which proves conclusively to my
mind that the Underwood tariff act is
recognized by the democrats as failure
at least in spots
so would l, had 1 your knowledge.
What's it all about?''
ITS just this. The Lever agricultural
bill, now under discussion by the House,
carries a new item of $4,000 for expert
ments and demonstrations in live stock
production in sugar-cane and cotton dis
tricts. What does that mean? Why, sim
ply that the democrats recognize that
the sugar industry in Louisiana and the
other sugar states will be knocked out
completely when the free sugar section
of the tariff act goes into effect. and they
want to get the sugar plantations down
there in the habit Of raising cattle. Also
it means that sugar men are already CIV
ing up their plantations.
Look at what the report on the Lever
agricultural bill says OF this ITEM
Report on Paragraph.
The report on that paragraph reads as
follows:
Conditions in the cane sugar producing
sections have for some time been increas-
ingly unsatisfactory to producers. This
is largely due to the inherent climatic
difficulties encountered, which have fire.
quently caused heavy losses, either as the
result of untimely frosts. which damage
or destroy the crop. or occasional over
flows, which retard the crop or reduce
the yield. The situation in these districts
is essentially that OF a singie-crop agri-
culture, which is at the mercy of the ele-
ments. The Investigations Of the
department have indicated that the most
effective way to correct this condition
will be through the encouragement of the
establishment of live stock industry"

country pursued Representative Willis.
