BLAINE Gorernor of Wisconsin MADISON, Wls. Feb. 3.—Taxes should ! he assessed on the principle that those | best able to pay should bear the heav- J lest burden. When this policy Is j adopted, people will have a greater equality o{ opportunity and the great j mass will find greater advantages. , We have two systems of taxation In i Wisconsin: (1) The taxation of tangible prop- ! ert.v, real estate and personal. This is a tax on land, one's home, his automo bile and other fixed property. (2) Taxation of incomes, privileges and occupations. The Income tax rate Is fixed, and therefore any increase in the cost of government is borne entirely by real and personal property. Taxes on real !. and personal' property have reached that, point where 4hay have become an undue burden—until those who are least able to pay are required to pay the heaviest burden. Folnts to Inequalities. General property Is assessed, regard less of the fact whether It yields an j Income. The income tax payer Is not assessed a tax unless he makes a net earning above bis exemption. The real estate and personal property owner must pay a tax even though it be op erated at a loss. Again with reference to income taxes there has grown up in the past four years a system of assessing surtaxes on Incomes. This Is pyramiding an in- t come tax. • I I feel that the present situation, [ which permits the levying of what is popularly known as “surtaxes." either) upon real and personal property or in comes, leads to extravagance and In equalities. [ have recommended to the Wiscon sin legislature a few simple laws, which I feel are Important. I have urged that all surtaxes on incomes and all mill surtaxes on the general prop erty of the state be repealed. Next T have advised the passage of a law which will establish a ratio between incomes and personal property, and when one tax goes up the other must also. This will make the income tax rates elastic. By this plan both sources of taxes will bear their >share of the burdens of government. MatteT of Secrecy. Then there is another tax evil. At the present time, all income tax re ports are secret. I contend that secrecy in government is a had thing; that taxation is a pub lic and not a private matter; that the returns of those who pay $97,000,000xin general property taxes have no veil of secrecy arawa ever mem, men, nu mm- ■ est tax return need fear publicity; that I it Is only the return to shut out from I public view that which may be a fraud, , a cheat, or even a mistake. Under the plan suggested, the tax payer, either as to income or tangible property, will not be continuously threatened with special forms of taxa tion. A reasonably fixed policy, In my opinion, is desirable from the stand point of the state and the tax payer alike.
