Milwaukee, Wis. = Mayor Daniel
W. Hoan of Milwaukee is on the war
path over proposed tax legislation of
, the Wisconsin legislature.
In what is considered the most Wig
orously worded communication he has
written during his seven years as
mayor, he "laid down the law today
to the governor and the legislature
regarding the Dahl tax bill and other
proposed tax legislation:
The mayor in his open letter per-
emptorily demanded that seventy per
cent of future tax revenue be return
ed to the cities, towns and villages in
which it is collected; questions the
constitutionality of the proposed tax
legislation and plainly implies a
threat to take the matter to the courts
for adjudication unless the law max
ers call halt.
Says Decision Against 1t.
The constitution and supreme
court decision are quoted by the may
or to sustain his contention that state
expenses must be betrayed through
levy of direct state tax, and that
such taxes must be uniform for the
various districts. He contends that
both of these provisions are fiagrantly
violated by taxation measures now
before the legislature.
The letter in part read as follows:
Il desire to call your attention to
the fact, before it is too late, that
certain provisions of the constitution
of Wisconsin cannot with safety, be
wholly ignored. One of these provi-
sions is that the rule of taxation shall
be uniform. This means, according
to our supreme court, that all prop
erty in the state should, in proper
ton to its value, contribute towards
paying the expense of benefits and
protection. The cities have not COM
planned greatly of the past conduct
of the state in taking away tax money
that comes from within their limits,
to pay for state improvements. Mil
waukee, for example, contributes an
nually over $3,0O0,OOO for which little
or no direct expenditures are made
within our borders. Scores of other
villages and cities are being drained
4 Of revenues to finance state eXpendi-
lures. By a system of state aid, some
counties get back nearly twice as
much as they pay in. If there is any
uniformity of taxation in such pol
icy no one can detect it. 1t means
that you are accomplishing by indi-
rect means, what >you are forbidden
to do by direct means.
Must Treat All Alike.
''In an early case, arising in James
vile, the supreme court set aside a
| tax measure as unconstitutional,
which levied only half as much tax in
/ one district as was levied in another
district"
/ After citing supreme court deci-
sion in defense of his claim, the may

ty road purposes, also to rob cities

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)
Madison, Wis. a new tax
bill is being drawn for presenta-
ton to the legislature containing
features of both the SeversOn in
come sur-tax measure and the
Dahl general income tax, with the
backing of the administration,
Governor j. ]. Blaine told a eau
Gus of progressive members of
the legislature last night.
The governor said that the new
tax measure now being drawn
would meet objections to both of
the bills now before the legisIa-
ture and would make an equitable
distribution Of the burden of
taxes.
He also let the legislators know
that he favored cut in the appro-
priatiOn of the national guard to
100000 or less annually, that he
favored abolition of compulsory
drill at the University of WiscOn-
sin and that he intended to bring
some relief to the state from the
increasing scope of federal regula IS
ton of interstate commerce.
The governor told the legislature
that he was bringing Frank Nc
Manamy, an expert on railroad
matters, from his position with the
interstate commerce commission in
Washington, ito be a member of
the railroad commission. He will
attempt to solve the problems Gre
ated by the encroachment of feder-
al regulation into the field of state
regulation of public utilities.
The tax bill in the course of
preparation will take the place of
the two measures now before the
legislature. 1t will have the Of
fetal backing of the governor and
it is expected, will be the revenue
measure finally accepted.

AUTO TAX REPEAL !,
TO Be DEMANDED
A. A. A. Will Make Drive Be.
fore Coming Session of
Congress.

The $4,000, 900 automobile owners of
the United States who have submitted
in the past to the payment Of a war tax
OF per cent on passenger cars, tires,
accessories and parts, and 3 per cent on
motor trucks, together with the many
thousands of motor cycle owners who
have paid a similar tax, will make a de-
mand for the removal of this war tax
OF the next Congress, according to the
American Automobile Association, which
has launched an active campaign
against the continuation Of what the
association terms an unfair tax upon
portation.
The reasons assigned for the demand
OF the American Automobile Associa-
tion on behalf Of the motorists Of the
nation are that the tax on motor vehi-
cleS, tires. accessories and parts is and
has been discriminatory and that what
ever merit there might have been in the
argument that such a tax was neces-
sary as revenue producing measure
Tor war purposes has been destroyed by
the recent statement of Secretary Of
the Treasury Mellon to the effect that
there will be surplus between 5000. =
100000 and $500, 900, 900.
Points to Wallace Statement.
The American Automobile Associa-
ton further points to the recent state
ment of Secretary of Agriculture Wal
lace before the Investment Bankers
Association of America to the effect
that 1.-The automobile revenues of the
government for the last fiscal year
ended June 80. 1923, were in round
numbers s146. 900 and the with
drawals from the Treasury for federal
aid highway purposes were approxi-
mately S72, 100000, which indicates
clearly that the owners and operators
of motor vehicles on our highways are
bearing more than double the entire
federal expenditure for roads" Secre-
tary Wallace also stated that up to and
including the fiscal year ended June 80,
1928. the federal government collected
$5S9.012,021 In excise taxes on motor
vehicles, tires. accessories. parts. etc,
