HOUSE TO TAKE Up
NEW GENERAL TAX ACT
Measure To Have Right-of-Way
Over Income Tax Amend
ment in Lower Branch
lConlinued IrOm Fage !

yedit of the ad valoTem taxes,
, hen paid, on the income tax, whi:h
the author claims he is urging IN
order to prevent a direct double
taxation. That matter was finally
worked out in the committee by
the adoption Of the Landlord plan
On a vote Of s to 7.
The bill is now to be reported
to the senate today and is the ouly
measure on the calendar in that
branch for action. which means II
viii come on for final debate and
vote at once. The prospect is, &C
cording to senate leaders, that the
meaure will be passed and trans
nitted to the senate not later than
the following morning.
The house, having before it at
least one more full day on the gen
eral tax act will, therefore, receive
the income tax bill from the senate
before amy Of the tax reform meas
ures will have been reached In
the lower house, and before there
will have been action on the equali-
cation repeal measure, which is
scheduled for action in the house
Thursday, if the measure now in
process Of Completion is wound up.
The houSe agricultural commit
tee No. 2 Tuesday afternoon by a
vote Of g to Is. reported adverse
" on the DeIapeilrer bill to reduce
the explanatory fertilizer fee Of
80 cents per ton to 10 cents
The argument was made before
the committee that the passage OF
this bill would mean the abolition
and wiping out Of the State Bureau
of Markets, because that bureau I'm
der the law obtains its entire main
tensnce and support from these
regulatory fees, and the proposed
reduction would leave the return
so entirely small it would afforc
merely enough to ueet the actua
eXpenses.pf operating the fertiliz4l
lnspection.s Moreover it was ShoHi
that the effect of the bill wonlc
be reflected solely upon a few larg,
purchasers of bulk materials no
upon the farmers.
The house Tuesday afternoon r.
fused to repeal the $4,000 tax i'm
posed upon grand opera or even u
reduce it to $1,000 after a vigorou
battle en- the floor.
When the clause containing III
grand opera tax was reached dur
ing consideration of the genera
tax act, Representative Holton, o
Wilcox, offered an amendment =
strike out the tax entirely. Nh
Holton stated that he voted for tn
tax at the session two years ago bu
had been ashamed Of himself eve
since.
Representative Mcclure Of Walk
er county, offered an amendmen
to reduce the tax to $1,000 pc
season in cities of 100000 or NOR,
population and $500 in cities of les
than 100000.
The Fulton delegation and Rel
! resentative Barrett, OF Stephen
! coCaty, and Bussey, of Crisp cour
/ ty, led the fight to abolish tn
tax, while representative Stoval
! OF Ebert county, directed tn
forces insisting that the tax e
main.
The amendment of Mr.. Rolto
to strike out the tax entirely Wa
lost by vote Of 60 to 46 and tn
amendment Of Mr.. Mcclure to 70

a vote of SO to 50. a

TAXES OR BUM STREETS?

Hon. Walter p. Smith brought
home telling point at last weeks
community club banquet when he de-
clared that the people who wanted
good streets the most, growled the
hardest when taxes on city property
was raised.
The time is fast approaching when
the tax levy for the coming year is
to be made and upon that levy will
hinge the question of streets-wheth-
er we shall continue to get along an
other year with the bottomless ruts
we have, or have hard surfaced, we'll
kept streets.
Arvada, with levy of 9.5 mills,
has one of the lowest rates for in
corporated towns in the state. She
also has the rottenest roads. The
street and alley committee Of the
town board is powerless to act in re-
pairing the road because Of the fact
that not sufficient money is available
through the low rate.

which aim at the reconstruction of

Let's not fight against the town
trustees. Let's get behind them and
fight for them!
