Is it not about time that our tax experts, especially those who are taking the farmer end of the argu- ment exclusively, include in his argument all who pay a lirojierty tax, whether it be city real estate, personal ir corporate property! Aa a matter of fact there can be no solution of tlie taxation problem until all forms of wealth are taxed. A it is now. much of the wealth of the coun- try is escaping taxation, although It is escaping contrary to the taxation provisions laid down by the state constitution. Up to date this fact seems to have escaped the attention of all the tax experts, nnd apparently it is only the legislative advisory committee which is holding out for a method whereby the intangible property of the state may be taxed. It is indeed strange that tho class which invests its money in the securities, or lends its money at a high rate of interest, should exert such a powerful influence in shaping laws and usages to the end that they may escape taxation. citizen la in The rich, the minority in all communities, but he seems to find but little trouble in citizen making the property-ownin- g the the roads, tho schools, for pay courts and all the expenses of city, county nnd state government.

In that article reference was made to a calculation by members of the faculty of the University of Wisconsin, showing that aa a measure intended to improve the position of agriculture the proposal was because only 2.3 per cent of tho farmers of this country grow sugar beets, whilo all are consumers of sugar." The quotation is chiefly interesting because of the statement that only 2.3 per cent of the farmers of the country grow sugar beets. The statement is probably true, but what of it? Is it not also true that a lesser percentage of farmers are lending money or engaged in the manufacture of tariff protected goods? Surely it is true, but is that any reason bankers should not charge interest or that manufactured goods be protected? All classes are entitled to fair returns, and the beet farmer should he no exit ception to the rule.
