TAX AMENDMENT
INTERESTS WOMEN
Cannot Vote on Amendment,
but Should Exert ITEM
selves for Its Adoption.

II Is an unfortunate thing that the
courts have decided that women can.
not vote on the tax amendment to be
submitted to the electors OF Illinois
In November. for the injustice of the
present system bears quite as heavily
on women as on men, and more of the
former than the latter are without
means of earning livelihood. says the
Chicago Herald We hope the women
OF Illinois who have taken such keen
interest In everything concerning civic
betterment will. nevertheless, remind
their more privileged relatives and
friends not TO neglect TO vote upon this
measure while In the booths, fer every.
one should understand that an unre.
corded vote on this proposition Is the
same as vote against IL. as n majority
Of all votes cast Is necessary to carry
II.
In 1918. when the present unfair sys
tenn was adopted. scarcely any of the
intangible property which now escapes
the assessor existed. This property.
consisting OF mortgages. stocks and
bonds. Is hardest to find and assess.
In the aggregate It amounts to mil
lions. When the assessor does find II
the tax as now levied. often Is nearly
conflscaiory. IS a consequence Its
owners are driven TO evasions OF one
sort or another. even TO changing their
legal residence. Upon the honest
owners OF small savings and invest.
ments the burden Is particularly hard.
II adopted. the amendment Will per
nit the classification OF such holdings.
guarding them as 10 income and their
ability to pay. IL Is not unlikely that
there will be exemptions OF small prop
crty holdings II viii allow assessors
TO reach property which has hereto
fore escaped taxation and at the san 2
time II will equaiize taxes over the
whole body OF taxable valuations. II
Is bound 10 increase the states rev
enue without adding 10 the average
burden
But the amendment must be voted
on. This should be hammered Into tho
intelligence OF every voter.

Greater Legislative
Freedom Is Required.
ALEU- Ripley Foote. Founder
and First President of the
National Tax Association.


I wish 20 commend the Taxa
ton Constitutional Amendment
submitted to the people for adop-
ton. A well-denned movement
has been developed In many
states TO secure amendments to
their respective constitutions. en-
abling legislatures to exercise
broader powers In dealing with
taxation problems. All OF these
proposals, like your own, are de-
signed TO secure liberty OF action
through permitting freedom In
the classification OF the subjects
OF taxation in conformity with
their economic characteristics.
Several states have always en-
joyed this freedom Of action. and
several others haFe acquired 1t
through amending their consti-
tutions. While the whole trend
OF development throughout the
country Is toward greater free
dom, In no state has a demand
arisen TO restrict the freedom al
lowed. In my judgment. the
adoption OF the proposed amend
ment is absolutely necessary TO
enable the legislature of your
state to enact laws revising the
taxation system now In force in
a way that will remedy It's de-
fects and place your state in a
position to finance its public
affairs. state and local. In a
way that will be both helpful
and satisfactory to It's citizens.
