REST TEST
THE
PROHIBITION
Does Increase the Tax Burden
Absolute proof is at hand that prohibition has enormously
increased the tax burden for the Kansas farmer and property
owner. So great is the burden of taxation in prohibition
Kansas that half the counties in that state find themselves in
serious financial difficulties.
HERE IS THE PROOF:
(From the Topeka "State Journal" of Dec. 7, 1915)
"MUST RAISE LIMIT"
'One-Half of Kansas Counties in Financial Mire"
Bond Issues, Economy or Legislative Relief
Only Hope"
"Fifty per cent of the counties of Kansas will
be forced to adopt sweeping economy measures or.
issue bonds to cover deficits in their general revenue
funds, unless the next legislature raises the limit of
the general revenue tax levy, according to men in
touch with the financial condition of counties over,
the state,"
The reason for the heavy tax burden under prohibition is
not far to seek. Under prohibition, it becomes necessary to
prosecute in court every year thousands of persons having
alcoholic beverages in their possession. Each such case costs
the county about $50, according to the Topeka, Kan. "State
Journal" of August 29, 1916. This paper also states in the
same issue that in Topeka alone, there are 106 such cases
docketed for the September term of court. This is the con
dition in one Kansas county, at one term of court alone.
Kansas spent $701,944.40 in the last two years to maintain the
inmates of her state prisons, while Nebraska spent less than
half that sum.
WHO CARRIES THE TAX BURDEN?
It is interesting to observe how the prohibition politician always mam
ages to unload the increased burden of taxation on the farmer and on the.
property owner. In Kansas the state tax levy for 1916 is equal to 6.5 mills on
a one-fifth valuation, and in Nebraska it is only 6.1 mills on a one-fifth yam
ation.
In order to deceive the people and keep the state tax levy from
mounting sky-high, the prohibition politicians in Kansas simply
raised the assessed valuation of farm lands many millions of
dollars this year.
HERE IS THE PROOF :
(From the Topeka "State Journal" of Oct. 5, 1916)
"Twice has he ( Governor Capper, the prohibv
tionist) handed the ' FARMERS a package, by
raising the valuations of their farm land, in order
to raise more taxes, yet he permitted the railroads
and corporations to go at the same old rate"
GOVERNOR CAPPER OF KANSAS HAS PUBLICLY ADMITTED
THAT THE VALUATION OF KANSAS PROPERTY WAS
BOOSTED $79,000,000 IN 1915 FOR PURPOSES OF TAXATION.
THIS IS TYPICAL OF THE PROHIBITION POLITICIAN EVERY
WHERE. HE RIDES INTO OFFICE ON THAT ISSUE, AND
THEN PROMPTLY PUTS THE BURDEN OF INCREASED
TAXATION BROUGHT ABOUT BY PROHIBITION, ON THE
. FARMER AND ON THE PROPERTY OWNER.
