is to repress all the divine promptings

in the tax rate, the state will hereaft'
er secure a much larger income than
in past year.
Although this new valuation may
mean higher taxes upon large property
owners and persons with big resources
of a taxable nature. it is only just
that we should support out common
wealth in proportion to our means.
The resolve of the assessors and the
commission to ferret out the tax dodg-
ers and make them pay taxes on all
intangible property hereafter is only
in keeping with the principle that
each man shall bear the burdens of
democracy in part equal to the bless
ings it has brought him.
AS has been the case with all for
mer measures enacted for the welfare
Of the state, the actions of the Tax
Commission will most likely be the
cause for bitter criticism by selfish in
iividuals over Missouri. 1t is the du-
y Of the unselfish majority to over
come the calamity bowling of these
and see that the state
s speedily put on financial founda-
ion which will insure its deserved
growth among the states of America.

THE TAX COMMISSION

or most vital interest to all tax
payers of Boone County and the en-
tire state of Missouri are the actions
Of the newly appointed Tax Commits
sion that has taken upon itself the
task of solving the financial problems
OF our state. Through the advisory
work OF this body, headed by former
Secretary OF State Cornelius Roach,
must come the means of providing the
added revenue needed to conduct our
government on a sound basis.
Already has this new commission
called the county assessors of the
state to Jefferson City, and the result
of this conference has been a decision
by the assessors to levy future taxes
on a full value assessment. This
means that, where in former years the
taxes Of the state have been levied
on an assessed valuation of less than
s2,O0O,0OO, 900. the future taxes will be
levied on $4,000, ,OOO, 900 valuation.
Considering an appreciable reduction
