statutory law which fetters the legislature Although taxes tn Utah are not higher than In neighboring states the burden of taxation Is at present unequally distributed The language (of the legislative tax committee's request for the special session) implies that this special session shall limit Itself to the pro' The wisdom of this policy is posing of constitutional amendments obvious TAX REVISION COMMISSION I recommend that the tax revision commission be continued to draft the necessary bills to be considered by the nineteenth legislature There Is always risk In adopting an entirely new scheme especially If It is revolutionary In character because It Is not possible to estimate Its ffect on business and on pukllo revenue Other states have done a great deal of costly experimenting in taxation It la unnecessary for this state to embark on any untried plan It would be Impossible to give too much praise to the members of the legislative tax committee for their devoted service to the state To the tax revision commission also should be given credit for displaying a thorough grasp of the subject of taxation and for evolving a plan that Is singularly free from bias prejudice or partiality SEPARATION OF PROPERTY Experience has demonstrated the Impossibility of taxing Intangible property In the same manner and at the same rate as tangible property Is taxed Consequently the separation of tangible property from Intangible property is a fundamental necessity regardless of the ensetment of the contemplated tax revision plan Indred not a single step toward Intelligent tax reform can be taken until the rule of uniformity Is abolished The necessity for adequate central supervision of the state tax system has been shown sgaln and again Since a substantial portion of the taxes on property is for stale purposes the assessment equalization and collection of taxes loses Its local character and becomes the ronrem of the state Those who oppose centralized control of assessments are perhaps unwittingly pleading for the retention of rertaln existing inequalities The question before the special session of the legislature is not tho enactment of the particular tax plan but rather the consideration of constitutional amendments which are necessary to permit the classification of Intangible property for purposes of taxation and to provide for effective centralized administration SPEAKS WORD OF CAUTION I feel that I ought to speak a word of rautlon In regard to one of The suggestion that all revethe (tax revision commission's) proposals nue from income 'taxes shall be paid Into the state district School fund Is Intended to prevent an increase tn the total amount of taxes In ease this new source of Income Is made available However In ’its xeal to protect the taxpayer from increased burdens the commission becomes the first to deviate from Its own sound dictum that “the ronstltulion should establish the general principles of legislation but not the details” The pirce of legislation which la now proposed to be written Into the constitution should be scrutinized very carefully because of Its possible embarrassment of the state general fund The

the personal Income tax should be devoted unalterably to the state district school fund He asserted 4hat the state gonial fund is already experiencing biennial shortages that the proposed plan of the
