LK-43, Mich. Send no money. —Advertisement! Advertisement 40 MILL TAX LIMIT BILL Taxation in Washington is too high. It is working an unbearable hardship upon the taxpay- ers. Farmers and home owners are losing their property on account of confiscatory taxes on an average the past five years of 18 million dollars per year. Industries are being driven from the state. Other industries pass us by for neighboring states with taxes of from one-third to one-half Washington’s. Initiative 50 proposes a tax limit of 40 mills as the maximum that can be placed upon real and personal property, which comprises only one-fourth the wealth of the state yet now bears all the direct taxation. The result of such a law will force the legislature to spread taxes over the wealth now untaxed, which is three times the taxed wealth, . Forty states have adopted the principle of tax limitation and all have found it satisfactory. Schools have benefited where this method has been used. In California, a neighboring state with similar conditions, there is no state tax on real and personal property, yet they pay for school support two times as much per pupil as Washington for grades and three times as much for high schools. California has money to properly support its university and open its doors to all pupils. Washington has had to raise its entrance requirements so as to curtail the number of pupils due to lack of accommodations. California charges no tuition for higher educational institutions. Washington charges tuition, prey penalizing the youth of the state for having an ambition to make better and more use- ful citizens. This same story applies to other states with tax limitation with slight modification. The state constitution provides that the legislature must provide means of raising revenue for state purposes. This answers objection that this measure does not provide means of raising additional revenue. This proposition was placed before the last legislature but was defeated by small margin due to opposition of railroads, utilities, and capitalists of the state and their lobbies. At that time, a means of spreading the taxes over the other wealth was provided. That proviso has necessarily been omitted in the initiative, which is so drawn as to force the legislature to make the spread. Forty states have tried tax limitation and not a single one has returned to old methods. VOTE FOR INITIATIVE NO. 50 AND REDUCE YOUR TAXES. spapetacadsoe
