The five states were selected be
cause they, have what many tax re-
formers consider the latest models in
the way OF constitutional provisions
for raising revenue
Minnesota has a classified property
tax which, 1t is claimed. is working
well in that state. having been in ope-
ration since 1906, when the constitu-
ton was amended. The Minnesota /
clause bearing on classified property /
follows:
The power or taxation snail never |
be surrendered, suspended or contrac- /
ed away. Taxes shall be uniform up /
on the same class Of subjects. and .
shall be levied and collected for public
purposes"
This clause had the effect of placing
all Of the administrative features OF
the classified property tax system in
the hands of the Legislature, and the
work can be changed as conditions
may require.
The taxation clause in the Wisconsin
constitution is even more elastic than
the Minnesota provision, as the follow
ing from the Wisconsin organic law
shows:
THE rules OF taxation shall be uni.
form, and taxes shall be levied upon
such property as the Legislature shall
Taxes may also be imposed
On incomes. privileges and occupa-
lions. which taxes may be graduated
and progressive and reasonable ex-
may be provided"
The Taxation Commissions commit
tee went TO Massachusetts mainly to
study the income tax system in opera.
Hon In that state. Massachusetts
amended her constitution in 1915 so as
TO cover an income tax.

MIAMINS LOOKING
TOWARD WEST FOR
A BETTER OUTLET

Miami, Sept. 2S.-The Miami Cham
Der of Commerce intends to have Il
direct route to Lake Okeechobee by
rail and water. and from Lake Okee-
choice on to Tampa by rail.
The water route will come with
completion of the Miami canal from
the south end of the great lake to
Miami, now we'll under way. The rail
connection will come when the long
promised railway on the bank of the
Miami canal is built.
To bring these two things about in
the least possible time the Chamber
of Commerce is sounding out leading
citizens of this city and section. An
open meeting to which all citizens are
invited is to be held in the assembly
room of the chamber next Monday
night.
The building of a railroad along
the perfect grade that will be allowed
on the canal bank, to the south end of
the lake, would make connection with
the Moore Haven and Clewston Rail
road, already built, and through that
road with the Atlantic Coast Lines
Sebring-Moore Haven branch This
would give the shortest and most
feasible all-rail route from the prin-
cipal city on the southeast coast OF
the state to Tampa, the principal city
on the west coast.

FALL HATS APPEAR

Day by day, they are passing away
or being put away-the straw hats. In
the North, September 1 is supposed to
be the dividing line between straw hat
time and felt hat time, but in Lake
land the matter depends more on ones
own fancy. If man chooses to wear
a straw hat all the year, or no hat at
all, like Captain" Steitz and Lonnie
Wright, that's all right, too. Howev-
er, many of our prominent citizens
are taking to felt hats, among those
noted being S. E. Jones, Fred Benford
and George Friend.
