When it's taxpaying time, informed farmers are 

 reminded that the Illinois Agricultural Association and 

 County Fann Bureaus for 20 years have opposed unfair 

 farm taxes . . . used their influence to halt constant efforts 

 to increase property tax rates. 



The lAA did not sponsor the state occupational 

 tax but it did initiate and successfully champion the idea 

 of using other forms of taxation to reduce and replace 

 property taxes. The state property tax was entirely elimi- 

 nated in line with this well-established lAA policy. The 



Association has always insisted on the necessity of other 

 forms of taxation applicable to non-real estate owners. 



In most counties, Farm Bureau Tax Committees 

 are checking assessed valuations of different classes of 

 property in preparation for quadrennial revaluation of real 

 estate this spring. Many committees are scrutinizing county 

 and local expenditures. 



Since its organization the Farm Bureau alone 

 has consistently represented farmers in tax matters. It 

 has saved Illinois fanners millions of dollars in taxes an- 

 nually for at least 15 years.
