The legislature, in its earnest endeavor to solve our fi
nancial problems and provido a certain measure of relief
for properly, is influenced to pshs what it may consider is
ideal tax legislation, but it has given too littlo attention to
what is practical tax legislation. Tho state is sadly in need

of more revenue to wipe the deficit off the books, lmt there
is real danger in trying to effect a perfect cure in one grand
gesture. I

' With the excise tax and the now tax on intangibles made

difficulties will disappear. No one can say with conviction
that they will be successful until they have been in operation,
