THE NEW TAX LAWS
Pronounced Successful by the State
Tax Commission
Incomplete Returns Show Large In
crease in Revenues, Notwith-
standing Lower Tax
Rate

The State Tax Commission has
published its first report 10 the Gov
ernor and Legislature and. although
the complete returns have been de-
layed in some Of the counties. enough
information has been developed to
indicate the most satisfactory results
TO both taxpayers and the state
revenues.
The increase in the, listing OF in
tangible personal property, such as
bonds, stocks, notes, and accounts,
is remarkable and IL is estimated
will reach the enormous sum Of
over four hundred million dollars,
compared with eighty million last
year, Or say FIVE times as much.
Bank deposits increased from
eleven millions TO about one hundred
and eighty millions. or over sixteen
times.
Increase in assessments Of whisky,
oil. beer. race tracks and other items,
some Of which were never taxed
before. will produce additional reve-
nues Of over si,li2,O00, or say one
fourth Of the former general prop
erty tax from practically new
sources.
The total assessment Of all prop
erty returned by the assessors last
wear was 5000. 1856, iSi, ami. from the
figures so far available, this amount
will be increased This year to $500.
1 100000. and possibly Si70O0OO,0Oc,
when'all the returns are i'm.
The reduction in the State tax rate
from IS TO 40 cents on each $500 will
result in a saving to taxpayers, who
have heretofore made accurate re-
turns, of over 100000, while tho
increase in State revenue, largely
from property not heretofore contri-
buting, will reach over $4,000 900, /;
the surmise of the Tax Commission
is correct. The net increase in reve-
Lues is estimated at S2,343,0OO, after
allowing for the loss by decrease in
the tax rate.
The increases are mostly in cOun-
ties in which the larger cities are
situated. as, for instance, jefferson
! nouisville) increased from Si2,50O,-
900 to Si25,O00.000; Fayette licking
tom increase over last year 10000
600 TO Si5.0O0,0O0; Warren Bowling
Green 100000 10 100000; Hen
derson henderson, 100000 to &c.
100000; Daviess (Owensboro) si0,-
100000 to Si2,000,0OO, and others in
proportion.
This refutes the charge that the
cities would profit by the new laws
at the expense of the country.
There are two results from the
operation Of the new laws OF great
significance. First, the State will
have ample revenue TO meet the cur
rent expenses; second, the new reye-
nue. will come chiefly from personal
property not heretofore contribu-
ting.
