A PROPOSITION.

No. 59.

Introduced by Mr. Coker of Pinal County.

A Proposition Relative to Taxation.

It is hereby proposed:

Section 1. No tax shall be laid or appropriation of public money made in aid of any church or private or sectarian school, or any railroad or other private corporations.

Section 2. No property of the United States, the State, or any county, municipality or public school district, shall ever be subject to taxation.

Section 3. The legislature may exempt property belonging to religious bodies, educational institutions, library associations, or private hospitals and asylums, from taxation, expressly limiting the amount of such exemptions.

Section 4. The legislature may exempt from taxation specific property of limited value belonging to the heads of families residing in the State.

Section 5. The legislature may provide for taxing, as other property is taxed, valuable rights, privileges and franchises, held or owned by persons and corporations; and may lay and collect taxes on incomes and inheritances; but this section shall not be so construed as to authorize any tax contrary to the Constitution or any law of the United States.

Section 6. The state treasurer and several county treasurers shall constitute the state board of equalization, with such powers as may be conferred upon it by law; and the assessments shall be so adjusted as to make taxation as nearly uniform as possible throughout the State.

Section 7. The state board of equalization shall prescribe uniform blanks to be used by assessors and collectors of taxes, and rules and regulations consistent with law to govern in the assessment, levy and collection of taxes.

Section 8. There shall be but one annual assessment for the taxation, and all state, county, municipal, school and other taxes shall be levied and collected upon the assessment made by the county assessor, after a general equalization of the assessments throughout the State by the state board of equalization, but municipalities and city school districts may be authorized by law to make separate assessments for the levying of city and school taxes.

Section 9. There shall be but one officer in any county authorized to collect taxes and assessments of whatever character; except delinquent taxes may be collected in such manner and by such officers as may be provided by law, and paid into the county treasury. And all state, county, city, school and other taxes, shall be received by the county treasurer, and disbursed by him to the proper custodians of such funds. And municipalities and city school districts may be authorized by law to collect taxes levied for their exclusive use.
