PEOPLE TO
GO BEFORE LEG
STATURE

Property owners Of the state are
going to be present in strength the
moment the 1928 Legislature opens
its doors. 1t will mark the first time
in the history of Washington that the
holders of property have appeared in
the legislative halls of Olympia to
present their case.
This announcement is made at
state headquarters Of the Tax Limit
League. Seattle. following prelimi-
nary organizations OF the League. in
practically all sections of the state
during the last ten days. The
League is conducting a statewide ed
ucational and organization campaign
among property owners. having as its
object passage by the next Legisla-
ture Of law. limiting to 30 mills on
80 per cent valuation. or > per cent OF
actual value. the amount of taxes for
all purposes that can be levied
against real and personal property.
The Tax Limit League, according
to George F. Meacham. manager.
was organized in Wenatchee. Yakima.
EllenSburg. kenenwick. Colville. Wal
Ii Walla and Spokane during the last
week. and units Of the organization
already were in operation in Tacoma,
Bellingham. Seattle and Everett. Or
ganization will next begin in Gravs
Harbor and Lewis counties, the
League announces.
Wherever the League has present
ed its proof that property IS being de-
voured by unjust and unequal taxa
ton our program for relief has been
heartily welcomed by city and county
property owners" Mr.. Meacham de-
clared. following an organization trip
into eastern Washington. The plan
We propose mas been endorsed By such
men as Fred X. Jones and W. s. Nc
Crea, prominent property owners Of
Spokane. and former L. s. Senator
George Turner Of that city: John \.
Gellatly. late candidate for Governor.
Of Wenatchee; Duncan Dunn. live
stock and farming representative and
Col. ". L. Lemon. of akinla. and n
H. MaSsie. secretary Of the Yakima
county farm bureau. heads a commit
tee that now Is studying cur plan for
relief of the farmer.
Our first step has been 10 secure
adoption throughout the state Of the
declaration that 20 mills. or $50 on
the $1,000 assessed valuation Is the
limit Of taxation that property can
bear withou, losing Is value. We are
now gathering data Of TAN laws Of
other states where the 20 mill limi.
law Is in operation or where the total
tax levy does not exceed 20 mills. An

,ature q what sources OF revenue

wealth is suddenly increased it brings
endless new needs. Injuries are de-
manded. laSSitude sets in. and the in

off. Women begin TO avoid matern-
lily. All Of these processes. beginning
IN the middle and upper classes, grad
