Wyoming Tax Example

w ySbihtO oN
THE state of Wyoming on the recommendation of Gov.
Nels H. Smith, has set the entire nation wholesome
example by ABOLSHING the tax leVi ON real and per
sona property for state purposes
This unprecedented action by the Wyoming board of
equalization leaves the state without real and personal
property tax levy for the first time in its history
The loss of revenue annually will be half million
dollars but essential state activities will be impaired
And as Governor Smith commented in recommending
the action the lighter burdens which will result
will be a benefit TO the people who must bear heavier
and constantly increasing federal burden because of
the
If every state in the Union and every unit of govern
ment within the states having taxing powers would fol-
low this example either reduce drasticay abolish
entirely all unnecessary taxation the capacity of the
American people to bear the burdens of war would be
increased enormously.
OF the federal government itself should reduce
and abolish unnecessary taxes wherever possible.
THE federal government has been and is VIGOROUSLY
fragrant and reckless in both the expenditure of the
peoples money and the assessment of burdensopNand
even ruinous taxes against the people. ~
But the states and counties and cities and alnther
subdivisions of government have been equally fragrant
and reckless with expenditures and taxes
And the elimination of ALL UNNECESSARY TAXA
TON should be demanded by the people and accom-
pshed by the government of the essential steps

Wyoming has gwen the country a fine demonstration
of governmental compliance with the needs and rights OF
the people
There should be similar demonstrations in all the
states.
There should be nsistence everywhere upon re-
ducton of taxes where possible To reduce taxes with
out impairment of essential activities such it obviously
was in Wyoming.
There should be public pressure for the elmlna-
tion of unessenta taxes such there is in California
where amendment repeal the state income tax will
be voted upon in November.
THE situation in Wyoming, in fact has interesting
i parallel in California
In Wyoming has been demonstrated, tax reduc-
ton and elimination be achieved without impair
ing the useful functions of government.
And in California, it has been disclosed that the
plus funds with which the state government closed the
last fiscal year substantially exceeded the total annual
revenues from the existing income tax.
Surely all taxes which produce in excess of
needs should be reduced abolished.
The people of all the states, and of all the subdiv
sions within the states, should seek and study THEIR
opportunities for tax reduction and aboshmentas the
people of Wyoming have done and the people of Cali
fornia doing.

in winning, Jimmy did not display
that dash and fire which he evil
denced in his bout with Pastor.
Instead. thu bout was slow and
uninteresting and provoked boos
from the fans who clamored for
action. Both fighters appeared TO
have more respect for each others

to take it, with the result the ac-
