REPUBLICAN

How Equal Taeation Haa Bean Ac-

complished.

The leftaUtlou of the laat two year* haa I wen described aa epochal. A acbrdule of the most Important acti passed In 1805 and 1006 wlU fully Jua Ufy that descrl|itlon. It haa been affirmed. and without contradiction, that the legislation of tba two years ia Incomparably greater In Iti Importance and far reaching beneficial effects thap tba sum of ail tbe precious legislation In this state since tbe adoption of tbe constitution of 1844. Tbe greatest achievement of tbe last two yaars was the final aettlemen tbe railroad tax question, which hao been the groat problem of state politics ever since the first railroad received charter from the state Railroad enterprise In Its Infancy was attended with gre< was welcomed by every conun unity, and Its development encouraged by consideration In the way of moderate taxes. The benefits that the state d» rived from railroad development were Immeasurably g: eater than were ths Immunities In the way of taxation. At that time taxes upoa all kinds of property were ranch lower than In the present day. The railroads made possible the marvelous development of the resources of our state. Cities and towns sprang up and grew rapidly and tbe needs of this denser and congested population required - an amount for tbe support of and state government. This Increased taxation on all kinds of property, real and personal called attention to the difference In tbe methods of taxation as between railroads and other kinds of property and resulted In the agitation of this question, so that In 1884 • Republican senate and a Democratic boose enacted a railroad tax law that about doubled the amount of railroad taxes, but came abort of equal taxation. The first break In this law In 1807, when the leglainture gave to the taxing districts all tbe Income from tbe second class railroad taxes, amounting to about *500,000 annually. In 1904 tbe Republican party, true to Its potlcj, took bold of tbe railroad tax question again and declared In the state convention for Immediate legists boo for the taxation of second class property at local rates, resulting In Increase of local taxes to munldpalltie* of about ooe-half million 'dollars sod declaring for tbe submission of tbe question ef taxing ths main

teased locally at tbs local rstss for tbe benefit of tbs localities wherein tbe property lies. Tbs main stem, now reduced to tbe property lying within tbe KK> foot limitation and extending through more than ons.alty or township- or county. Is taxed M ths sveru^e of tbe state for state uses, and by _ eels I enactment all of tbe proceeds of this tax over and a bore ode-half of ■ cent upon tbe property *t given directly to tbe support of our free public schools, and the oue-hnlf of 1 per la, as now. left to the discretion of the legislature to be used for tbe purpoee. In addition to that, tbe franchise Is also taxed at tbe same rate as the real estate of the main steam, and the proceeds likewise -distributed. This franchise tax at ths same rata as other property la paid by tbs railroads In addition to their other taxes, ao that la way they are uxsd mors than Individuals, and help reduce tbe amount that Individuals would otherwise tw compelled to pay. Under these laws tbe revenues of tbe state and municipalities should be largely Increased and a correspond! ug reduction made In ths tax'rate to tbe benefit of tbe local taxpayer. In order that tbe taxpayer may receive tbe benefit of this Increased revenue on railroads and Other corporate enterprises, the legislature provided that the tax rate should be gradually reduced from year to year until It reaches a maximum fmount. This will prevent municipal extravagance and benefit tbe taxpayer

accordingly.

This legislation was promised In tbe Republican state platform of 1904. as a reference to that platform wUl show. It was outlined In the Inaugural address of Governor Stokes In January. 1906, and recommended In bis first lal message last January. It was

Abeut.

Until the preeent year there never

was any limit on tbe power of a municipality to grant a public service franchise In perpetuity. Until last year tbe poUcy of such grants was never seriously brought In question. But tbe sentiment of opposition existed In tbe minds of men who gave some thought to tbe rights of future generations. The legislature of 1906 appointed a ■pedal commission to Investigate tba subject- It reported In favor of limitation. Governor Stokes, In bit annual

last January, devoted a chap-

tar to the subject, recommending ■

limitation of time for such franchisee, first bill Introduced In tbe sens! j last session, on Jan. IB, was t
