Olympia, Wash —Eighteen concrete recommendations for changes in the taxing system of the state of Wash ington to distribute the tax burden | more equally were contained in the state tax investigation committee's re port to Governor Hart, according to 4 eummary of it, given out Saturday Changing the assessment basis to | 100 per cent of vaiue and taking half that amount as the basis for the tax levy is the first recommendation of the committee, followed by an ad- vocacy of a change whereby all county assessors would be placed under the jurisdiction of the state tax commis sioner and the state board of equaliza- tion abolished. The committee recommends: Abso lute state control of taxing methods; abolition state board of equalization; budget control of public revenues and expenditures; | public utilities by state agency; re- inheritance tax collection genera! to proposed moval of irom attorney state tax commission; gross earnings | tax assessed against bus and for hire automobile lines; retirement of bonds within life of utility for which issued; change in $300 tax exemption of householder to apply only to persona! goods and apparel; increase of gaso line tax; creation of “highway courts” to try violators of traffic laws; mort- gage recording tax of 50 cents a $100 on all mortgages over $1500.
