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.
