NOT UNDERSTOOD BY THE PEOPLE

The Sunday Star has expressed the opinion that il
people more thoroughly understood the object and purpose
of the so-caed filing of three dollars it is doubtful
there would be any objection to it. In the first
place. it is unfortunate that the trainers of the law called
it filing instead of capitaton tax. 1t really is
personal or captaton and all the money derived from
this capaion be used exclusively for school pur
poses In addition according to the decision of the court
the Ryan case this personal tax must be used by the
State Board of Education the county in which 1t is rails
ed In effect is personal tax Of less than one cent
per day for the support of the educational system of the
state The amount raised by this method reduces the
amount to be raised tax property and on incomes
and therefore persons who income tax and property
all of the burden to bear Numerous re-
ports the street to the effect that the filing fee might
be all right but that it costs about two-thrds of this
amount to collect it. This is erroneous statement 1t
estimated that the filing fees will amount to approx
mately two hundred thousand dollars The School Tax
Department also collects all Of the income tax The
appropriated by the Legislature for collecting both
the filing fees and income taxes is only $275OO year. so
