One Thing at a Time.

The attitude displayed at the District
Building from time to time toward new
or substitute forms of local taxation is
illogical, to say the least, and is highly
confusing to the voteless taxpayer of
8 Washington.
If the informal propositions made by
municipal officials in the recent past were
seriously advanced the people of the Dis
trict would be facing the prospect Of:
An increased gasoline tax.
A weight or horsepower tax on auto
mobiles.
A higher registration tax.
An income tax.
A bond issue to finance needed i'm
provements.
An inheritance or estate tax.
The personal predictions of some of
our appointed officials at the District
Building toward sources Of taxation may
be interesting and informative, but just
now they happen to be beside the point.
1t is possible, of course, that the
people of the District might be plastered
e by every conceivable form of taxation
under the sun. But Just now the people
of the District are paying commission
Of experts appointed by the President
to investigate the subject Of fiscal rela-
tions, take into consideration the facts
as well as the equities, and recommend
to the President the fair and equitable
amount that the United States should
pay toward the expenses of National
Capital maintenance and development.
All of the facts submitted 50 far by
the people of the District, through their
organizations, and all of the facts sub
nitted by the District Commissioners
and other District officials to the COM
mittees of Congress show that the
District, in comparison with other
municipalities, Is bearing an adequate
burden of taxation which, when some OF
the taxpaying disabilities Of the COM
munity are considered, is heavy.
The question just now Is not the form
of additional or heavier substitute taxa
ton that might be imposed upon the
unrepresented citizens of the District,
but the amount of the Federal contribu-
ton that will in truth represent the
Federal obligation. As informed OFF,
cials at the District Building know. the
fiscal difficulties under which they labor
now are not attributable to any local
taxpaying evasions but to the evasion
by the exclusively governing Congress Of
the obligations 1t voluntarily imposed
upon the National Government, written
Into law and never repealed.
Should any increase in local taxation
be justified and necessary-after decision
relating to q fair and equitable Federal
contribution-the role of the Commis-
sioners would lie in championing the in
terests of the local taxpayer by seeking
not merely the most equitable forms Of
taxation, but in drafting revenue legis-
lation that does not go beyond the pro-
visions of similar legislation In the
States, where the people enjoy the priv
ilege Of taxing themselves.
In the meantime, while the fiscal rela-
tions issue is being studied under condi-
tions that indicate a determination to
arrive at an equitable solution, the
municipal officials are not serving the
interests of the community by loose dis
cussion, as casual advocates, of the vari-
Gus forms of tax boosting that momen-
tarily strike their fancy, and which, taken
together, run the whole gamut.

A rain-tear gathered In Dusk's eye

SSCretofy Oh SSatc,
Dear Sir:
In compliance with the provisions
of Section 46 of Mason's Minnesota
Statutes Of 1927, herewith furnish
you statement Of the purpose and
the Constitution of the State of Min
nesota which are to be submitted to
the electors of said state at the gen.
eral election in 1896, in accordance
with certain acts adopted by the 1885
legislature.
PROPOSED AMENDMENT NO. I.
By the adoption of Chapter 393 OF
the Laws of 1885 the legislature has
proposed an amendment to Article 8
posed amendment, If adopted, will
not alter the form Of any existing
section of the Constitution, but will
add new section to be known as
Section 8 Of said Article 8.
The proposed amendment reads al
follows:
"Any of the public lands of the
state, including lands held in
the S' approvaI m @ pJse' Of commission
consisting of the governor, the
attorney general and the state
auditor, be exchanged for lands
of the United States and other
privately owned lands as the
legislature may provide. and the
lands so acquired shall be sub
ject to the trust, il any, to which
the lands exchanged therefor
were subject, and the state shall
reserve all mineral and water
and water power rights in lands
so transferred by the state"
The Purpose and Effect Of the Pro.
posed Amendment.
The purpose and effect Of this pro.
posed amendment Is to authorize the
any Of the public lands OF the state
for lands Of the United States and
land privately owned, such exchanges
to be made with the approval OF q
commission consisting Of the cover.
nor, the attorney general and the
land cannot now be made because
the State Constitution does not per-
mIt the legislature to authorize the
sale Of school lands, state swamp
lands and state Internal improvement
lands except by public sale. One Im-
mediate purpose In granting such
authority Is to make II possible tor
the state to acquire compact areas OF
land for forestry and other conserva-
tion purposes by exchanging land
outside Of such conservation areas
for lands Of the United States and
privately owned lands within such
areas.
The proposed amendment requires
that all mineral rights, water rights
and water power rights In lands so
transferred by the state shall be re.
served. The land so acquired will be-
come subject to the same trust, IL
any, as the land disposed Of. For
example, II school land Is given In ex.
change, the land received will be.
come school land.
PROPOSED AMENDMENT NO. 2.
BY the adoption Of Chapter 394 OF
the Laws of 1895, the legislature pro-
posed an amendment to Section OF
Article of the State Constitution.
This section now reads as follows:
The power of taxation shall
never be surrendered, suspended
or contracted away Taxes shall
