M. L. STIME ATCAMPAIGN TO LIMIT TAXES One Per Cent Tax Limitation Proposai Termed Absurdity b; Municipal League The Illinois Municipal league, of, which the villages of Wilmette, Ken- iiworth, Winnetka and GieficQe are members, this week let loose a broad- side against the 1 per cent tax limi- tation proposai. now being agitated in Cook county, when Secretary A. D. McLarty addressed a message of warning to heads of municipalities throughout Illinois. Assaiiing the 1 per cent proposai as an "absurdit.y which informed per-' sons couid weii ignore, if it did not present a danger to every local gov- ernment in the state," tbe Municipal league statement called upen munici- pal officiais to realize that the 1 per cent agitation "bas become converted into a politicai campaign slogan for the benefit of a few Cook county per- sons seeking election in Nbvember." Fear Bankruptey The statement said: ."Attention of ail officiais responsible for the main- tenance of local government inIi1- nois is called to the recent revival of agitation'for the proposai vhichi would limit taxation on real estate to 1 per cent by a constitutional enactment. "This proýposai hais been revived by certain groups, mainiy in Cook county, despite the fact, that it has been demonstrated conclusiveiy by unbiased study and the experience ini other states that such a proposai would mnean bankiuptcv for municipal governments. This movement is an absurdity which informed persons could ignore if it, did not present a danger to every local government in the state. Calied Vote Slogan "It should be clear that however the movement may have started, it. now has- become converted into a poiitical camp aign slogan for the benefit of a few Cook county persons seeking election.to office ini November. This uîovement shouid be exposed through- out the state se, that it wiil be recog- nized everywhere for wbat it is. "Unless and untîl ways are devised to provide local governments, with new formfs of revenue, the 1 per cent proposai must be opposed by every agency interested in maintaining Our governments. Net the state govern- ment, but the Ïocal.,governmen ts mill Ibe thrleatened by this proposai. Local governments, shouid flot' stand by and permit their existence te be -threat- ened in order that a few Cook county policitians are enabled te take ad- vantage.of what mnigbit appear te be a pepular appeal te taxpayers. Ir should be clear that these same tax- payers would lose more than they, might temporarily gain if the police, water, fire, health and highiway de- )artments and scheols would be closed shouid the 1 per cent program go through. Luckily, there seems littie -hance of the 1 per cent agitators suc- ceeding, but local governments tbroughout the. state shouid b. alert." 1
