DISCRIMINATING TAX RATES

To Editor State Journal:
II the tax amendment carries, we
may expect a classification of proper
ty for taxation purposes. that some
classes may get lower rates of taxa
ton than other classes.
II is claimed that large portion
OF fntangibles as money, notes, bonds
ETC., escape taxation thru false re-
turns of owners, but if they were
given a lower rate, say one-fourth oil
rate on land, they would be good and
give in their property correctly. That
sounds, don't it? 1t is purely an
expedient and a sorry expedient at
that. Anyhow the amount of intangi-l
bles escaping taxation may be over
estimated. For example, why do 8 II
per cent nontaxable liberty bonds sell
materially higher on the market than
Il per cent bonds whose interest may
be taxed after reaching a certain
amount, if such property is not gen.
orally given in?
1t is further claimed that improve
ments on real estate should have a
low rate or be exempted to avoid pen
aHzing improvements. AS a matter
of fact. a property tax must penalize
thrift and intelligent effort whether
we accumulate land, livestock, fac
tories, railroads or improvements on
real estate. Why exempt one class at
the expense of other classes?
And again it is claimed that we
COulO correct OOODle taxation IN case
buyers of land make only part pay
ment. That the tax on mortgage note
is shifted to borrower. But just what
taxes are not shifted and reshifted?
Certainly taxes on railroads, factories,
merchandise, etc, are shifted. Shall
we exempt such taxes because they
are shifted?
The remedy proposed is to remove
the tax from the lenders note. Trust
| ing that benefit may leak thru to the
borrower.
All agree that real estate would get
| the highest rate, it don't need a low
rate to bring it out" and If this tax
could not be shifted, additional bur-
dens would tax the value out of land.
| Such a tax system would divert
| investments from productive indus
try. agriculture, to investments in
notes. bonds, etc. which is not
1 heal tendency. Any legislation
| that favors one industry at the ex-
pense of others should be avoided.
/ Tho clause in question, viz: THE
/ legislature shall provide for a uniform
Cling of rates and is not outgroWn and
Ia z,2tior." is a safeguard against Jug
Cling OF rates and is ont outgrown and
kstrategical military position possible
( should not he repealed until there is
/ a clear-cut remedy well understood
and generally approved by the tax
payers. F. r. NILES.

RELIEVE BANKS OF BURDEN

New York, Aug. 2S.-Extension of
the postal savings system at an at
tractive rate of interest by the govern
ment to furnish banking facilities to
the great body of common people," is
urged here as a financial reconstruc-
ton measure by Eugene Meyer, Jr.,
former managing director of the war
finance corporation.
Appearing at the invitation of Sena-
tor William n. Calder of New York
before the senate special committee on
reconstruction and production. the
financier argued for amendment to ex-
listing legislation so as to authorize
payment of 4 per cent interest on
postal savings deposits instead of the
per cent as at present. He also ad
vocated increasing the number of
postoffices authorized to receive de-
posts from $500 to all of the $1,000
postoffices. branches and sub-stations
Proper organization and administra-
ton by the government, Mr.. Meyer
said. could gain saving deposits within
a year sufficient to pay off the float
ing Indebtedness of the United States
government. He also expressed the
opinion that with proper handling, de-
posts could be increased to cover in
addition a large part, if not all of the
victory loan amounting to more than
four billion dollars maturing in 1928.

postal savings, he added, would re-
lieve the banks of the burden the gov
eminent imposed on them during the
war and since and permit the banks
to use all of their available funds for
business and industrial purposes. It
would also relieve the federal reserve
system: Of rediscounting several hun
dred millions of certificates which
would improve the reserve position of
the federal reserve banks
The redemption of Qualifications
would Furthermore bring about, he
said, rise in liberty bonds of from 5
per cent to 10 per cent and relieve the
banks of hundreds of millions of loans
now being carried upon libertv bonds

proved a failure. The rain makers
were doing business behind closed

these rain-making companies are

University in Miniature.
1t will be some time before the COM
plete plans for the Holcomb school,
as made by Mann & Gerow of Hutch
inson, are fully worked out, but when
completed the Holcomb project will
be a university in miniature, even to
the large athletic field and group of
residences for the teaching staff. The
plans call for five buildings. Most of
these are now nearly completed. The
school proper and the garage for the
buses are now finished and ready for
occupancy.
The school group includes a main
building which has an auditorium that
will seat 900 people. a faculty home,
garage, janitor's home and a home for
the agriculture teacher. who is en-
ployed under the Smith Hughes law.

Every Teacher College Graduate.
The Holcomb consolidated school
will start this fall with 400 pupils, all
of whom last year attended eight diff
ferent district schools. The teaching
staff will be made up of thirteen in
structors, practically the same num-
Der as is required in the ordinary city
ward school. Tho Holcomb is eight
miles from a town of any size, the in
structors on the first faculty of the
school is the best in the state for any
rural school and all are college grad
yates.
Last year at Holcomb there was one
three-room school and within a radius
of 100 sections there were seven other
schools all of one room each. This
year the Holcomb school which when
finished will cost $250.000 will have
the full twelve grades of the rural
coure for the Kansas rural school
system and in addition will have a
four-year high school course. There
will be a teacher for each of the
twelve grades and the high school.

where the BUSES were purchased,
September 1. and pass thru Hutchin-

Larned. Kinsley, Spearville, Dodge
City, Cimarron and Garden City to
Holcomb where it will arrive on Sep

The buses which make this trip
are specially built for the work they
will have to do in all sorts of weather
during the school year. They are the
product of the Wichita Automobile
company, from whom they were pur
chased, and from whose place of bust
ness they will start on their first trip.
The buses are built to accommodate
between forty and fifty passengers and
have special heating arrangements to
be used during the cold weather. Sim
liar buses are now being used for con-
solidated schools in Cimarron and In
