An Ohio critic argues the 1851 uniform taxation rule fails under modern conditions. He cites under valuation, shifting tax burdens, and large losses from personal property taxation, urging reform to prevent injustice and promote growth. He presents county and city data showing wide valuation discrepancies and warns current rates undermine revenue.
An analysis shows counties undervaluing real estate drive tax shifts to public service property and personal property taxes. It argues that undervaluation raises real estate values but lowers state revenue, urging a switch to gross earnings taxation and a dedicated tax commission to ensure fair, uniform taxation and better accounting.
A report by the Ohio Tax Commission nearing completion urges a constitutional amendment to allow property classification for taxation. Gov Harris backs the plan with support from legislative tax committees and calls for a unified tax system, frequent real estate appraisals, abolition of multiple boards, a single taxing commission, and a graduated inheritance tax. The piece discusses equity in taxation, inheritance and income taxes, and references England and Roosevelt as context for reform.
The piece notes the Bishop Stang estate totaling $3,000 with $2,000 in insurance and $1,000 in books and effects. It highlights Dr. Charles Cuthbert Hall’s world tour and a planned India edition of Christ and the Human Race for YMCA use. It recalls Rev. B Clapton’s ringing of 720 changes on bells, and praises Russell H Conwell’s 6,000 lecture engagements at Temple Baptist in Philadelphia.
A historical piece argues taxes fund government protection and should fall more on those with more to protect. It cites Secretary Taft acknowledging inheritance and income taxes and outlines a cautious stance on tax fairness and potential policy shifts.
