PERRY WALL MAKES A NOTABLE {
ADDRESS

Perry G. Wall made a notable ad-
dress at the Rotary club luncheon
last week. 1t was notable in several
respects. First, because Mr.. Wall is
man OF thorough education and stu
dlous habits, who has made a pro-
longed and conscientious study of
economics, and politics in the higher
sense of the word, and fully under
stands the application of their prin-
clples to the science of government.
The two great problems before the
people of Florida today are taxation
and the direct primary Mr.. Wall has
studied them both thoroughly. and
mas well grounded opinions on both
which he takes no pains to conceal.
He sees the manifest absurdity of
the mandate of the constitution which
declares that all property must be
assessed at its full value. He knows
that never has been done in this state,
and never can be. AS worked out in
practice, it has resulted in gross in
equalities as between the different
counties. Some of the counties are
paying more than their due proper
ton of the expenses of the state, while
many others are paying less. Many
attempts have been made to equalize
matters, but so far they have not met
with much success. The proposition
has been made to separate the assess
ments for state and county purposes,
making the rate for state purpose uni
form throughout the state, and allow
ing each county to assess for it's own,
purposes as much as it might deem
necessary. That plan would seem
fair and equitable, and would probab-
ly obviate many of the difficulties
which inhere in the present system,
or lack of system. 1t would at least
put all the counties on an equal foot
ing so far as supporting the state is
concerned.
Mr. Wallis plan is more scientific
and practical than anything which
has yet been attempted 1t is based
on the evident fact that not all classes
of property can pay the same rate
What might be equitable and fair on
one class, might be confiscatory on an
other. He would classify all property
into tangibles and intangibles, grading
the assessments in proportion to the
ability to pay. There are many good

citizens who have invested their all in
stocks or bonds or mortgages drawing
small rate of interest, but sufficient
for their needs. They have sacrificed
something in the way of interest, for
safety and security. Then the tax
gatherer comes along and says the
government must take a large slice
of their income. That makes the good
citizen a tax dodger. He begins TO
devise ways to conceal his property,
and If he can do no better he puts
ment loses the tax which it needs, the
citizen loses something of the loyalty
which he owes his government, for
it stands to him in the light of an op-
pressor. Mr.. Wall's plan of classifica-
tion would obyiate these evil con-
sequences Instead of Jumping all
kinds of property into one whole with
an iron-clad, infiexibIe rate for all, he
would classify it, and adapt the rate

would be gone. The government would
get more money from taxes, the peo-
pie would be better satisfied, and ev-
