Smith on Taxation

Former Rep. J. 7. Smith Of Travis county is the
editor of The Texas Tax Journal. He is a very siren
uous opponent Of state income tax. This is his ulti-
matum:
what the farmers and others need is not an in
come tax. but provisions made by the state to retire
about 100000 600 Of road bonds That is the tax that
Is hurting the land"
Perhaps it is. But il likewise Is the tax that has
made land valuable, strengthened the bond between
the city and the country, given the farmer a market
for his products and makes life worth the living the
country over.
This is not az argument for a state income tax.
A mud road civilization passed away. A hard road
civilization is in the making. An ox-cart civilization
nsssed out with the mud road civilization. A motor
car civilization came in with the hard surface road
civilization.
why long for the gbod old days?

Highways and Civilizers

Modern ghway are the greatest OF civilizers
state highways call the tourists OF other common
wealths and advertise the richness and the resources
of Texas. County highways are just as important as
r,.te highways. Citizens of certain districts Of Travis
county are floating a big bond issue.
They are wise. They should put it over. They
should build the highways after the bonds have been
voted. Highways link city and country. Highways
make markets for the growers OF things. Highways
increase land values. Highways afford the comforts
and the conveniences Of modern civilization to those
who dwell under rural skies.
without bond issues all the roads would be mud
roads in Texas. Bond issues. city and county. are
builders. There is a price that must be paid and the
creators OF wealth are the men who must pay. While
Increasing the wealth Of the state by the payment
they are only increasing the wealth per capita Of the
community.
