TO ORGANIZE
TAX LEAGUES
Commercial Club G e ts
Back Of Forty Mill Tax
Limit League

The Kennewick Commercial club
has endorsed the plan Of action
proposed by the Tax Limit League
and named committee headed by
r. E. Pratt to organize branches
of the league in all of the conf.
munities Of the second and third
commissioners districts Of the
county.
The Tax Limit League is a new
entrant in the tax-reduction game
in the state and is headed by some
of the states largest property
holders and taxpayers. It's purpose
and plan Of action was outlined to
the club by Prof. Frank j. Laube,
of Washington University, who
has made life study Of taxation
and government finance.
Prof. Laube said that the state
of Washington is still clinging to
a taxation system devised more
than $50 years ago and had long
ago become obsolete. The land
tax, he said was devised to meet
the needs Of purely agricultural
country and was just and equitable
at a time when land and property
was the only sourc e of income.
Other states he said as they had
passed from an agricultural to an
industrial age, as the sources OF
income had multiplied had reform
ed their tax systems to meet the
changing conditions. Washington,
however, is using the same system
in vogue at the time when there
was nothing to tax but land.
The speaker said statistics
proved that tax in excess of 40
mills upon property becomes con-
fiscatory. In every county in this
state the rate is above that figure
and in some it is as high as 81
mills. The whole burden is plled
upon land and land improvements
while other sources of income are
untouched.
Prof. Laube said the Tax Limit
League has no new plan of taxa
ton to submit, its only purpose is
to organize every county IN the
state and to go before the next
legislature and demand that law
be enacted providing that for no
purpose shall property be taxed in
excess of forty mills. With such
a law enacted it then becomes
necessary for the legislature to
work out some new system by
which the necessary revenues can
be raised.
The commercial club committee
plans to begin at once series OF
meetings in this end of the county.
