TAX COMMISSION
THINKS REVENUE
SHOULD INCREASE
"New Sources Should be
Tapped" Report to Gov
ernor Says.
tBy Star oorrespondent)

Bismarck, N. b.. Jan. 1.-THE
North Dakota Tax Commission, in its
report to the governor and the six
teenth legislative assembly, has made
q number of very important recon-
mendations, which include sugges-
tons for an income tax, q gross carp
ings tax and other means Of increas-
ing the revenues. =,
The report declares that "the state
needs more revenue" and that Elm
stead of increasing the assessed value
of property already heavily burdened,
new sources of revenue should be
tapped" Continuing, it says: Cor
porations organized under the laws Of
state should be subject to taxation.
Corporations engaged in interstate
commerce and foreign corporations
engaged in loaning money direct, can
not be reached in any other way. The
privilege Of tr%ansacting business in
the state Is valuable and should bear
a tax" The commission. therefore,
recommends a corporate tax.
which should go directly to the funds
Of the state. :.
Other recommendations for In
creased revenue Mortgage reg
istration tax, which is designed to
reach nonresident mortgage hold
ers," who, at present, cannot be
taxed; gross earnings taxes as fol-
lows: Telegraph and telephone CON-
panies. from 8 1-2 per cent to S per
cent, Pullman company, s per cent,
and a line companies, z per cent; an
income tax, designed to reach those
who have large incomes. but very lit
tie property.
A redistribution Of the mill tax on
moneys and credits, rather than an
increase Of the tax burden, is recon
mended. A, redistribution Of the
utility tax also is urged, as, II Is
claimed ''gross injustice results from
the present distribution Of the rev.
enue from public service corpora:
TONS"
The commission declares that tn
legislature Should abolish the Off -
of township or district assessor and
substitute therefor an appointive
county assessor" who should be, ap-
pointed by the state tax commission
and hold office for a term Of not less
than feur years. The commission al
10 urges that 1t be made the state
board Of equalization, as is done in SO
many states. The reason for this is
that the members OF the commission
must be able to give the expert at
tention that equalization matters re-
qutre. The chairman of the tax COM
mission should succeed the state audi
tor as secretary Of the state board Of
equalization, the, report says.
The report also recommends a con-
ference Of tax officials to c uni
form assessment.
