fore. so to speak, and there Is consid-
cradle in the Guide about prepared
ness for the big rush. Thus 1t Is stated
that patrons are vitality interested in

pecially that parcels may bear the

STRIKING MILKMEN GET

Theodore Wandelt. of 927 Tremon'
Avenue, The Bronx, president of the

FEARS DIRECT TAX
OF 2.O9 IN 1919
State Must Find New Rev
enue Sources, Senator
Mills Declares.
URGES COOPERATION
IN REFORM MOVES
Says Expenditures Will Exceed
Receipts by Fully S16,OOO,-
900 Next Year.

In a statement las< night, asking the
cooperation of individuals and associa-
tons and the submission Of briefs as
soon as possible, Senator Ogden L.
Mills, chairman Of the joint legislative
committee on taxation, asserted tnat
unless new sources OF revenue were
discovered the direct state tax in 1919
would be 2.O9 mills. He said;
an an estimate based on the average
annual increase in expenditures Tor
the last five years and which takes
into consideration future sinking fund
contributions, the Controller figures
the excess Of expenditures over rev.
enues, or bs%nce to be provided by IN
creased revenues or direct tax for the
next four years, as follows:
For 1915. sI6,0O9, 672.45; 1917, ST.
K,.273.76; 1918, S21.87O,675.O7; 1919,
s24,9s9,576.3s.
This means a direct tax Of l.34
mills for 1918, l.79 mills for 1917, 1.S2
mills for 1918, and 2O9 mills for 1919
an view Of this fact the committee
is giving most careful consideration
to possible new sources OF revenue,
bearing in mind that it is highly DE,
sirable that any additional taxes should
come from those who are not to-day
contributing their full share, rather
than from those classes OF persons ana
property that are bearing the burden.
L., 20 n n
definite and ambiguous in many re-
spects. Such changes should be adopt
ed as will make it clear, simple ana Ell
fective.
"The committee purposes 10 hold
public hearings in New YORK City IN
October and in the principal upstate
cities at a somewhat later date. 1t
will. in the first place, take up the
fiscal needs of the state; secondly, the
defects in the existing system Of taxa
ton, and, thirdly, possible remedies
and new sources of revenue
As Senator Mills pointed out, the
Legislature of 1911 attempted TO rem
edy the inequalities in the present tax
law by passing the secured debt tax
law. II proved disappointing as rev.
enue producer, and there were intro
duced in the last Legislature measures
aimed to obtain sweeping reforms in
the taxation of personal property and
the collection of taxes on securities
and other intangible property.
There was not time enough, however,
to give proper consideration to the
bills, so the Mills committee was ap:.
pointed to 90 into the tax systems Of
this and other countries and prepare
suitable legislation.
