Tax change proposed to shift state revenue base
Representative Smith of Sioux county introduced a joint resolution urging a sweeping overhaul of Iowa’s tax system. The plan would let the state choose taxed classes for state purposes and exempt others, potentially funding state needs through railroads and corporations while relieving ordinary taxpayers. The Iowa League of Municipalities also seeks a bill to create sanitary districts in cities. Each district would levy taxes for garbage, sprinkling, and street cleaning, with assessments equalized so each city area pays only for the portion that benefits locally.
