Equalize Tax Burden by Shifting to Income Tax for Farmers
The article argues that general property tax on tangible assets accounts for about 84 percent of taxes in 1927 while intangible wealth like income and credits remains untaxed. It proposes taxing incomes as a fairer method, noting farmers cannot pass taxes into prices and that intangibles should bear a share to relieve farmer burden. It cites Frank Lowden on income tax as the only viable alternative and urges aligning taxes with ability to pay.
