BUSH WOULD

COLUMBUS, Ind, Aug 2.-"Give the
State tax board a four-year furlough
without pay" saio former Lieutenant
Governor Edgar g. Bush speaking on the
proposed tax amendments to the State
constitution before the Kiwsnis Club here
last night. Give some OF the other
boards commissions and officers holders
In the State a 800 year furlough without
pay. The way TO lower taxes is to lower
them and a good way to start is to stop
paying big salaries to a lot Of needless
officials" Mr.. Bush continued He ex
pressed himself as being strongly opposed
to amendments number 10 and II, which
deal with the lax question and stated
that the way to solve the tax problem was
to stick to the principles Of the original
constitution and to lower taxes by econo-
my In government
God pity the tax problem If it is
thrown unrestrictedly into the hands Of
any Indiana general assembly,! declared
Mr. Bush attacking amendment number

vide by law for a new system of taxa
ton. THE Legislature may be a rabble
and 1t may be a mob and it is beset by
all the forces of the group interests in
the State" he said describing powerful
Hobbies that influence the Legislators. IF
amendment number 10 is adopted" he ex-
planned ''the tax laws would be made
in the interest Of the interests that can
control the most votes in the Legislature"
Mr.. Bush also attacked proposed amend
ment number IL, which provides for a
State income tax. He declared that this
amendment was framed by disciples of
school Of socialism, such as is headed
by Senator La Toilette Of Wisconsin. and

in one of his appeals for its support he
said

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2-The Inter

handed down today upheld the public
service commission of Wisconsin and the
city government of Lacrosse in refusing
to sanction the Green Bay & Western
Railroad company's proposed abando-

Lacrosse and Onalaska, Wis. The COM

was for the purpose of transferring pri-
vate property to Government ownership
by process of taxation. He stated that
he believed in the principle of proportion
ate taxation and while not opposed to a
tax on income, did not want tax which
demanded of the man with a big in
come a greater proportion of his income
than it demanded of a man with a small
income. This sort of an unfair tax
which discriminates against the smart
and successful man, would be put into
force in the State if amendment eleven is
adopted, he stated.

TAX TROUBLES
AFTER CIVIL WAR.

But will the proposed amendment be
any guaranty that intangibles will be re-
quired to pay any more taxes than they
now pay? Under the constitution of 1916
there were no limitations on the taxing
power of the Legislature. The Legisla-
ture was free to enact any sort of law
on this subject it desired.
and yet in his message in 1868 Gov
ernOr Whtcomb said:
"A slight examination of our present
, revenue system Will be sufficient to dem
onstrate its susceptibility of improve
ment. Under it's workings II is quite
manifest that a large amount Of invisible
wealth Of the community such as cor
poration and other stock, cash on hand.
or at interest. and the more portable and
valuable kind of personal property, is not
found upon assessment rolls. This de
scription Of taxables is generally owned
by those best able to pay, and their
nOnasSessment leaves the burden of tax
alton so much the heavier on property
which Is visible. and especially on lands
which cannot escape notice and scrutiny,
or. which the true policy Of our State re-
quires should not be visited with dis
favor He then pointed out that the

property for taxation as 1t pleases. On
some classes it may imp. 4 very low
rate, and on others, a vSfy high rate
and this, too. without regard to the
earning power of the property. 1 am
not charging that the Legislature would
do this, but l am pointing out that the
amendment gives it the power to do
it and I am insisting that this is too
much power to give any department OF
government.
This amendment will give the Legis-
| lature all the power on the subject OF
taxation the people originally had them
selves before they adopted their con
stitution and all the power a king ever
had to tax his subjects. Under it the
Legislature may violate the genius of our
government, but so long as it does not
violate some constitutional PROVISION its
act viii be beyond the reach of the
courts.
But is is claimed by those urging the
giving Of unlimited taxing power to the
Legislature that millions of dollars could
move from their places of hiding out into
the open, when the Legislature would fix
under its new authority, a very low tax
rate thereon and therby the burdens of
taxation now borne by lands and other
tangible or visible property would be re
duced fully 80 per cent. In other
words, by allowing the man who has
money and bonds to pay taxes at a lower
rate than the man who has a farm or the
woman who has a cow, he will consent
to become a respectable citizen by making
a small contribution toward defraying
the expenses Of the government that pro-
tects him, his family and his holdings.
Now, l admit-frankly admit-that 10
tax money and other intangibles at the
rate visible property is now taxed would
at first work a hardship, but it would be
a hardship brought upon the people by
wrongdoers and soon would be removed.
When all the property of the State is
forced upon the tax duplicate taxes
would become so low that a man, who
would report his property for taxation,
under the proposed new method would
not hesitate to give it in under law
/ that could be enacted under our present
constitutional provision.

greatly increased through the reduction prices of all
