Illinois Valley News, Thursday. October 7. 1937 Tax Reduction (Continued from Page One) owner only tends to strengthen the foundation, not only of our currency, but of our nation as well. The manner of handling the re payment of bonds was thoroughly explained and the control as out lined tends to strengthen the pro gram and plan inasmuch as the currency in circulation is postive- ly controlled in and out of the fed eral bonds banks. Outstanding features other than the great reduction of taxes would be the turnover of securities (municipal, and school, etc.) in other words they, to a large ex tent then would be converted into cash and the holder would be forc ed to seek new investments. The trend of the investments would na turally lean toward the real estate angle, in the form of building pro grams and improvement. This feature would create an immense building program and furnish em ployment and also create a de mand for building products. The Chamber of Commerce was unanimous in its acceptance of the tax reduction program and im mediately formed the first Tax Reduction club with many volun teering their names as charter members. The enthusiasm with which this plan was acclaimed and by which it will be acclaimed should make it the most outstand ing issue in future politics. Mr. Breese has confidentially conferred with attorneys, bankers, business men, property owners and others and after four years study and having conferred with at least one hundred and fifty men in a great many walks of life has perfected a plan that is ac claimed the most outstanding vir tue for relief of the real estate tax that has ever been advanced. The sentiment of the meeting was to encourage Mr. Breese to immediately proceed to prosecute the idea and organize Tax Reduc tion clubs in every city, town, municipality and community as this idea is sound, being based up on twenty-one year operation of the Federal Reserve Banking sys tem and will save the taxpayer that portion of this tax dollar that he now is paying for interest. Such an idea as this should be support ed and promoted by every person owning or holding real estate or who expects to, in the future, own a home or real estate. Plans are under way to copy write all material in connection with this plan. Plans and organ ization are underway to build a national educational program in the interest of tax reduction.
