A New Scheme of Taxation
The proposal would shift tax burden to county and city or corporate purposes while relieving operating state costs. Personal property would be taxed with real estate in local rates, cutting overall taxes on such property by about half. Revenue losses of 1.6 million from the Commonwealth would need replacement by surrendering railroad and corporation taxes, plus licenses on liquor sales, with counties and towns losing license tax powers.
