Amendment. It will permit legisla-
ture to revise method of collecting
revenue, and a proper classification
of personal property. 1t will give
power to exempt small savings ac-
counts, household furniture, imple-
ments of labor, from taxes which un.
der the law must be imposed IL the
officials perform their duties. 1t will
permit method of taxing large pay
ing commercial enterprises for which
at present there is no basis for as
certaining value, and the elimination
of complicated method of spreading
assessments, the cost of which in
Cook County is almost $500 per
item. 1t would eliminate compli-
Gated and costly method of making
assessments, reports and adjustments
between the assessors, Board of Re-
view, County Court, etc. II will pro-
vide an easy way of knowing the
property subject to taxation, and per-
NIT distinction between revenue-pro-
ducing wealth and that which does
not contribute as an earning factor
to the owner. The only valid obie
ton see is, that it will not author
ize the adoption of the single tax as
a fiscal measure. This amendment
does not displace any other sub
mitted at the election, and is a great
step in advance of our present chaotic
method OF raising revenues with its
fraud. perjury and tax-dodging.
