Taxation Fight Over Land Tax Amendments in Missouri
The passage argues against two proposed constitutional amendments to exempt personal property, including money and bonds, and all merchants and manufacturers from taxes, shifting the burden to land, franchise privileges, and inheritances. It cites 1910 figures showing land taxation far higher than personal property and challenges the Equitable Taxation League’s stance, urging farmers to organize to defeat the measure. It questions whether removing taxes from bonds and merchants truly benefits agriculture and society, and warns of higher costs to farmers and consumers.
