Many senator's and congressman are
considering enactment of a law pro-
viding that three-fourths of the SUI
preme court judges must agree to
declare an act of congress void.
This would not have affected the
NRA decision. That ruling was
unanimous. Ohio, in adopting pro-
gressiVe amendments to it's consti-
tuition in 1912, decided that five out
of seven state supreme court Judges
must vote in the affirmative to de-
clare legislative act void. This
curb on the law-making powers of

eminently satisfactory

happened from January 1st to
March 4th, 1893. The facts are,
from March A, 1888, for the re-
mainder of the year, 179 banks
closed their doors. In 1884, SIS
closed, and during the first four
months of the present year, only
nine banks in the entire country

Farm Property Taxes Continue
To Decline

The typical Ohio farmer will pay
II percent less in real and personal
property taxes in 1895 as compared
with the previous year, according to
preliminary data assembled by HI.
r. Moore, of the department Of
rural economics at the Ohio expert
ment station. This statement is
based on a study of property taxes
in SO rural townships considered to
be representative farming communi-
ties in the different counties of the
state. The cause of this reduction
is the 10-mill limitation which re-
duced the average tax rate in these
townships from 1S491 to 1913
mills on each dollar of tax valua-
ton. Levies voted outside the linz
itation account for the present rate
exceeding 10 mills.
Farm real estate taxes for 1895
| averaged 70 cents per acre as COM
pared with S. cents in 1894 Per-
sonal property taxes are equal to
approximately 10 percent of the real
estate taxes. In other words, the
average owner-operator of a hum
dred acre farm will have a total tax
bill on real and personal property
of $50 in 1895.
Farm property taxes Lave now
declined for six consecutive years.
Payments in 1929 represented the
peak at 23S, when 1914 tax pay
ments are considered as 100. Rela-
tive to the same basis, last years
were 135 and 1885 taxes are 112.
AS compared with prices of things
farmers sell, taxes are now closer to
parity than at any time since 1920,
because farm products have been
rising in price and taxes declining.
However, lower property taxes have
been achieved by shifting to other
taxes to support governmental SER
vices. Ohio farmers will pay ap-
proximately $1,700,000 less on their
real and personal property in 1885.
but the state sales tax will cost
farmers approximately $2,700,000
in 1885, assuming the same level of
prices and volume of purchases as
existed in 1894.
