Tax Reform Seen as 



Chief Farm Interest 



In Next Legislature 



I. A. A. Legislative Committee Prepares 

 To Submit a Constructive Program 



AGRICULTURE'S chief inter- 

 est in the coming sessions 

 of the 56th Illi- 

 nois General As- 

 sembly promises 

 to be confined 

 largely to tax 

 legislation and 

 an amendment 

 to the revenue 

 •section of the 

 c o nst itution. 

 While no definite 

 legislative program 

 has been adopted by 

 the I. A. A. Execu- 

 tive Committee at 

 this writing, the Pub- 

 lic Relations Com- 

 mittee, charged with 

 responsibility in for- 

 mulating a program, 

 has met and dis- 

 cussed thoroughly 

 the reforms needed 

 to bring about a 

 more equitable dis- 

 tribution of the tax 

 burden in the state. 

 Limitation of the 

 county road and ' 

 bridge tax, a gas tax 

 that will provide for 

 a better system of 

 farm to market 

 roads, a suitable in- 

 come tax that will 

 take a portion of the 

 burden off of land 

 and home owners, 

 and an amendment 

 to the antiquated 

 revenue clause of 

 the constitution are 

 specific legislative 

 proposals about 

 which a program 

 will be built, states 

 Frank D. Barton, 

 chairman of the 

 committee. 



Get up a party in your community 

 and drive to tbe annual meeting of the 

 I. A. A., Danville. Paved roads all the
