The trouble was, he sand, IN taxing in

Mr.. WolcOtt recommended a q substi-
Itute a "System Of classification Of certain
properties for taxation purposes" He
cited the general property tax law Of In

from the replies received 'it was really
astonishing to note the chaotic condition
of the taxing laws in many states"
'The burden OF taxation" he continued.

While there were objections 10 a clas>i-

embrace a low rate or income tax for in
tangible property"
