IS. Reduce AID Valorem Tax;
"The commission recommends
that the constitutional limitation
of five mills for state taxes be re-
duced to four mills.
IS. Classified Property Tax:
1.-THE commission further rec
ommends that the constitution be
amended by striking out para
graph /, section 2, of article 7, and
inserting in lieu thereof the fol-
lowing:
"All taxes shall be levied lid
collected under general laws for
public purposes only. The general
assembly shall have power to classl-
fly property for taxation anil to
adopt different rates and methods
for different classes Of proper
ty for state and local taxation. An
taxation shall be uniform upon the
same class of subjects within the
territorial limits of the authority
levying the tax. Taxes may be
levied ad valorem upon any gwen
class of property without regard to
the method used in levying taxes
on any other class of property,
provided that when a Classification
has been fixed by the general as
sembly, it shall not be changed for
period of six years.
81. Reduce County and NUM-
cipal Tax Rates.
THE commission desires to call
attention to the fact that the tax
burden resting upon the people Of
the state is due not so much 70
state taxes but to the excessively
high rates of county and municipal
taxation, resulting in part from un-
der valuation of properly and in
part from the inadequacy of the
present methods Of administration
and the rapidly increasing volume
The commission believes that if the
BUSINESS principles hefein recon-
mended in the administration t
the states fiscal affairs were appl-
led to the administration of coun-
ty and municipal affairs, the re-
suit would be the materially les
sened burden of taxation.
The commission further wishes
to express it's confident belief that
under the system recommended the
state will year by year derive SUI
ficiently increasing revenue from
other sources to warrant its reduc-
ing each year the ad valorem prop
erty tax as source of state rev
enue until it is entirely eliminated,
thus leaving all advalorem property
taxes entirely to local tax divisions.
Finally, Governor Walker, wa
desire to express to you personally
and publicly to the citizens Of Geor-
gia, our deep sense of the high pa
triotic purpose, the unflagging zeal
the unselfish devotion and the un-
renting energy with which yau

task. Your broad vision has in.

heights of their opportunity tt

conceived opinions and theories

and experience pointed out as mos;
