THE NEW TAX BILL.

The new tax bill which reached the senate
on Saturday may have the support Of some
progressives and all the socialists but it is
pretty certain that it will not be any more ac-
ceptable to the rank and file of the people of
the state than the ones which preceded it.
1t throws sop to corporations and suggests
compromise with them but it is highly i'm
probable that the men who operate great in
dustries will be caught by the bait
The bait to the men who believe in defend
ing individual taxpayers is the suggestion that
the personal property offset will be retained
SO far as they are concerned. This means lit
tie or nothing as few individuals have per-
sonal property Offset of any interest in the
payment of taxes.
Of course the reduction in the corporation
rate is entirely wiped cut by the suggestion
that the personal property offset will be re-
moved.
The bill still gives the state chance to hog
the income tax returns. It increases the
amount taken under the present law Under
the proposed law lot of the money which is
now paid into the treasures of the cities of
the state would dribble into the state treasury
to aid in carrying out the political propaganda
of the party in power.
The bill takes away the historic mill tax on
property apd puts this burden on the payers
of the income tax. It should not be taken
that this means the elimination of the mill tax
for If the state takes away the support which
the communities receive from the income tax
the amount must be raised by increased mill
taxes on real property
The bill like all the rest which have been sug-
gested to the legislature carries with it the
mark Of immature study of the big question of
taxation.
It is possible that it will be able to, get more
votes than some of the other bills but it is just
as unfair to the majority of the people of the
state as the Dahl, Severson and Blaine bill and
it contains many of the Objectionable features
of all three
Such bill would never be suggested by any
fair commission which would give to the con-
sideration of the question the fairness which
should be expected in dealing with so great a
problem.
