These are considerations that the

REAL TAX REFORM
r
HE Denver Times Is demanding
tax reform.. Denver's taxes are
declared to be too high. As
sessei valuations in many cases
are exorbitant, almost confiscatory.
The per capita revenue collection is
said to be too great, and Is out of
proportion to the public service
rendered.
In taxes .for state, city, county,
schools, parks, firemen's pensions,
sinking fund and Interest on funded
debt, Denver in 1613 paid $4,589,823
In 1914 that city will pay $4,640,-
376. This will . be an Increase of
$50,000, in the face of a reduction
of $140,000 in state taxes. The 1914
tax levy amounts to $23 for every
man, woman and child in the city,
and the per capita tax does not in
clude an item of $900,000 which
will be received from licenses, fees
and other sources of revenue other
than direct taxes.
Denver people are becoming ap
palled at the mounting cost of city
government. They are also becom
ing alive to many discriminatory
features in methods of assessing
property for taxation. The Times
says such conditions do not attract
