Farmers Taxes Reduced by Kilpatrick and State Plans
Governor Cox urged Holmes county educators to back the Kilpatrick law as part of a broader effort to equalize taxation. He argued the 1910 1.5 mill cap harmed many districts, promoting a centralized state tax commission and representation on the budget panel. The speech defended replacing local assessors with independent state officials to reveal intangible property and ensure fair assessments, contrasting old systems with the Warnes and Kilpatrick measures.
