REPUBLICAN PLATFORM
ON the STATE TAXES

The Republican State Platform has
the following to say on the State Tax
Question:
We condemn the present State ad-
ministration and the State Tax Com
mission for the arbitrary methods en-
ployed in the unjust and unequal as
sessments made by the State Tax
Commission, and we unhesitatingly
charge the present Democratic admin
istration with the responsibility there
for.
We pledge ourselves to so correct
and revise the tax laws as to make as
sessments on every class and kind of
property Just, fair and equitable,
while preserving the principle of the
classification of property, and to limit
within reasonable bounds the arbi-
trary powers of the State board to in
crease assessments made by local
boards. by a summary and speedy ap-
peal to the Court Of Appeals.
We further pledge thorough and
exhaustive examination into the man.

subject Of just complaint. Rigid eco
nomy is the first remedy for high tax
alton and assessments, and such eco
nomy with present assessment
should result in greatly reduced ia,
rate. The only excuse for high as
sessments is low tax rate, and W,
demand an immediate reduction OF tn,

to the increase made in assessments
