Louisiana Legislators Propose Two Year Ad Valorem Tax Abolition
A Baton Rouge group of seven legislators outlines four constitutional amendments to abolish state ad valorem taxes for 1932 and 1933 and defer 1931 tax collections to 1934. They call for scrapping licenses based on gross receipts, shifting to a 50 percent income tax, abolishing auto ad valorem taxes, and funding prior debts with bonds to balance the budget without new taxes. The plan contrasts Governor Allen’s proposed taxes on electricity, tobacco, insurance, and soft drinks to raise 4 million dollars. The authors urge urgent action amid a “desperate” tax situation affecting farmers and homeowners who cannot meet 1931 and 1932 levies.
