. t r* y v WHY TAXPAYERS KICK. _ "You cannot blame the tax payer J.OT complaining against high taxes." v remarked Auditor Allen who has made a thorough study of the state's taxing system and as secretary of the State Auditor's and Treasurer's Association is working hard for tax imuiui. i ut; nix payer may Know that his taxes are not any higher than the other fellow's but yet he knows .. they are too high and that sonie* thing can be done to lower them. He ' is sore a"t the man who is in position to pass legislation that will lower taxes, and if I do not misread the signs on the political horlzen there will be something * stirring in the state next year. The tax payer has found out that it is not the jfovern/or,.lieut.-governor, comptroller general, secretary of the state or other state officials who have the power to reform the tax laws. He has studied the situation and he knows that these men must carry out the tax laws as they are fixed by the general assembly and that is where tax reform must begin. Real estate is carrying the burden of the taxes and this heavv tax on real estate must be lowered. The only way It can be done is to raise revenue from other sources?that is from invisible property that has been escaping with a very small tax levy. When this is done the state can lower taxes on real estate and other visible property URMEBS' GUIDE FREfi ! Written hv Dr. .T. W. Biichanan. late <>f the l". S.
