proposed under the terms Of the bill
shall be payable in quarterly install
mentS.
From a perusal of the main fea.
lures of the bill as quoted, its com
prehensive nature will be potent. 1t
apparently reaches al forms of bus
mess and all citizens, and in that
respect its advocates claim that it
fully meets the constitutional eX.
pectation that taxes shall be equal
and uniform. It is pointed out by
those who favor the measure as
proposed that it will not work a
hardship on the farmer for instance
because there are few farms having
gross income of $4,000 a year and
that it will not work hardship on
the individual of moderate means
and small income because of the
$4,000 exemption clause applying
to any business, occupation or pro
fession.
The question naturally arises, as
to lust how the measure in its pres
emf form or rather in the tentative
form suggested will raise. That is

Computed upon a basis of $4,000
100000 a tax of one.fourth of one
per cent would yield $7,500,000 a

that it would be necessary to fix the
rate as high as one-fourth of one
per cent One-fifth of one per cent
would yield ample revenue, under
the terms of the proposed bill, it is
asserted.
Members of the legislature are
rather interested to know what the
public verdict will be as to the pro
posed substitute described in pre-
ceding paragraphs and will prob
ably reserve their decision until
that verdict is returned in one form
or another.
