Abstract

Taxation in Massachusetts
May 14, 1891 issue

add to cart   close window

In the determined efforts recently made in New York and New Jersey to introduce more rigorous system of taxation, great stress was laid by the supporters of the proposed measures upon the example of Massachusetts. It is interesting, therefore, to learn that a vigorous attempt to reform the system prevailing in that State is now going on, the principles or the desired reform being stated in the report of a commission on taxation appointed by the Mayor of Boston, Massachusetts. While the Commissioners could hardly be expected to adduce new arguments upon so well worn a theme, they have certainly succeeded in stating their case with so much clearness and force as to deserve universal attention.
