Lists Revenue Producers

IAN excise tax on tobacco, chew
ing gum, patent medicines and other
luxurieS would produce more reve-
nue. than the state needs and no
body would feel the tax.
There could be no opposition to
these forms of taxes. except from
certain special interests which
might be affected. They also prob
ably could be devised so as to make
a good part Of their burden fall
upon those who are now the owners
of the intangibles which are es-
Gaping taxation AT any rate these
taxes would not burden the people
of the state of Indiana in the way
that land taxes are now burden
ing them.
"Of course. the tax on land should
be retained, but the rate should not
be high enough to make it burden
some. and the revenue derived
therefrom should be used for the
payment of county and city gov
ernments. If this revenue were not
sufficient it could be supplemented
by some of the revenue derived
from excise taxes"

BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Nov. g.
Professor Hugh E. Willis of Indiana
University law school declares In

revenue is "a system of tolerated
dishonesty" and that if the state
constitution is changed, the need for
tax reform will have played, prob
ably the most important role in
bringing about a new basis for law
Discussing the taxation system
of the state. Professor willis says:
"One-half of the wealth of the
state is forced to pay all of the di-
rect taxes, and the other half of
the states wealth is avoiding the
payment of anything toward the
support of local and state govern
ments. The wealth escaping taxa
ton is in the form of money, stocks
and bonds and other money credits.
Realty Bears Burden.
''The Atlas which is carrying the
tax load is farm lands, city lots,
houses and buildings. The reason
for this is the provision in our pres
ent Constitution that the general
assembly shall provide by law for a
uniform and equal rate Of assess
1nent and taxation and shall pre-
scribe such regulations as shall Sc
cure a Just valuation for taxation of
all property, both real and personal.
I'm accordance with this man
date the legislature has prescribed
that all property must be assessed
at its true cash value. This provi-
sion did not work so badly at the
time of its adoption when most of
the wealth in the state was in the
form of land and corporal chattels,
or tangibles. Since that time, an
enormous amount of the wealth Of
the state has gone into intangibles.
If the Constitution were obeyed, in
tangible property would have to be
assessed at its true cash value" he
said.
