Associated Press Farm Editor
WASHINGTON, May 23. (PJ
Supported by farm leaders for the
.tut decade, a plan to tax real es
tate on its production value rather
(bail its sale value is to be pre
sented to tbe governors of the 48
stales, meeting in Chicago June 25.
The conference was called by the
national taxation committee of the
American Farm Bureau federation.
Federal officials and tax specialists
have been invited.
.The plan to be considered would
upset a large part of the American
u jjtenl of taxation. Whereas taxes
lijjrlofore have been assessed on
lit! capital value of property, it pro
poses to make the assessment
against the average net production !
value.
Under the present system proi- i
erty that is held at a loss pays pro
portionate taxes with that which
returns a profit,
. Seek Legislation
Efforts to obtain legislation per
mitting the creation of a taxation
system based on "ability to pay"
are under way In Michigan, Mis
souri, Illinois, Iowa, Colorado and
a. few other states. In most cases
admendment of the state constitu
tion is required, which is a cumber
eotne and tedious task requiring
the support of public sentiment.

'launch a movement to obtain from
the federal government a rule per
mitting the deduction of state In
come levies, as is done in the case
of inheritance taxes.
The -proposal simply is that where
an individual now is paying both
a state and federal Income tax, the
ount -of the state tax would be
lucted from the amount of the
deral tax. The result would be a
continuation ot state revenue from
Income taxes but a decided reduc
tion in federal revenue.
Income Tax Aim
Behind the plan is the thought
that eventually would make it pos
sible to shift from the. general proit
erty tax to the Income tax as the
chief means of support for state
and local governments.
If tho Inheritance-tax provision
is- made to apply to income taxes,
it is believed that state govern
ments would adopt the income tax
more generally because they then
will have no fonr that industries I'liocnix
will move into adjoining states ' Portland
where no Income tax Is levied. It
