State Tax Commission
Issues Address to TaX.PdyerS,

To the Tax Payers of Mississippi:
The State Tax Commission, created
by the Legislature of 1916, has been
duly organized and in entering upon it's
responsible duties earnestly ~solicits the
cooperation OF every good citizen in
its efforts to RI ke its work effective to
the end sougL- in the creation of this
body, which end, as we all know, was
primarily to correct the gross inequali-
ties prevailing in the tax system Of our
State AM TO procure a fairar and more
equitab!s adjustment of the expense OF
government.
The object of the Commission is not
to increase taxes, but to reduce them;
wF'ca we feel sure can be accomplished
when all property is required to bear
It's just share of the tax burden. Be-
cause this condition does not prevail
today, the tax levy is higher than it
should be, and the property fairly as
sessed must make good the deficit Gre
ated by that which is i~nadequately val
ued or not listed for taxation at all.
Leaving out of Consideration, entirely.
! the ethical consideration of justice and
equity, which we believe animate the
thinking and doing of the vast major
ity OF men, direct self-interest should
prompt US all to find some means of
correcting the inequalities prevailing in
our whole tax system, which, like all
other abuses. grow greater from year
to year, as time advances, and unless
corrected, their cumulative, consequent
ces must be disastrous to every inter-
est. The State simply cannot afford
to be unjust and unfair in the exercise
OF the taxing power, which is its high
est ~prerogative; every citizen should
be made to feel that he is treated ex-
actly like every other citizen in this re-
spect. and is bearing his Just pro rata.
neither more nor less, of the cost of
government. When this confidence in
the justice of our common Mother il
once established, as it will be the pur-
pose of this Commission to establish it.
We believe that "tax-dodging'' will be-
come the exception, instead of the rule.
and a new ethical view will prevail in
relation to a practice which ia. today.
not only condoned by public opinion, but
openly avowed and justified by those
pursuing it, as a necessary measure of
self-protection. Ethics has no place in
tax paying; the %inequities and inequali-
ties OF our system has driven it out.
No standard of fairness or Justice pre-
walls TO command the observance of
men in filling out assessment lists: each
feels that his neighbor is Withholding
all that he a from the tax gatherer.
in justice to himself he must do the
same thing; and so, by ommon consent,
reproach attaches to this line of
conduct, which, if practiced, in private
affairs, would quickly bring men into
such an intolerable disrepute that they
would want to move away.
This condition, we will all agree.
needs correction, aud that is the object
Of this Commission; for the attainment
Of which the earnest cooperation of
fair-minded citizen is earnestly
solicited. Yours for justice,
Duncan l.. Thompson,
Q. A. Luckett,
