Constitutional Convention

"The Constitutional Convention spent more time and labor on the ar ticle on taxation than on any other subject which came before the con- vention. It finally adopted the old constitution with it's limitations on the taxing power. No greater taxes can be levied under the proposed constitution than under the old con- stitution The limitations are the same but the convention added some sections which in its judgment makes our system of assessing taxes more practical, and it also provides for reaching some property which has heretofore escaped taxation
 Among othar things, provision is made whereby the counties may pay their indebtedness, and when this is done and the county placed on a cash basis, there will be no occasion to issue scrip, and taxes will be paid in currency. This provision, however, does not become effective until July 1, 1920.
 Emphasis is laid upon the provis- ion whereby local legislation in the general assembly is absolutely abol- ished. This, in the estimation of the committee, will save a great deal of money and much valuable time, and deny rights to no one.
