But our cily and the county towns are convinced Hint such law would have detrimental effect on them ns well as on other communities. i In presenting their case to the the representatives uf the city and town governments of Newport County emphasized a any change In the fundamental financial a looking toward permanent and stabilized system of state taxation, must necessarily depend upon the Industrial nnd financial conditions within orr boundaries. "We can only appraise the fu- lure by reference lo Ihe past In the giowlh and development of the cities ar.d making up the state. Whatever else may te done in attempting to reconstruct, make additions to or erect an entirely new tax or revenue system, we must have in mind the effect such changes might unwittingly Urine about in some sections of the state."

The Newport County committee's conclusion was lhat a state income tax. to be superimposed upon incomes already paying a heavy burden lo the federal government, would be certain to have a detrimental effect because those whom it would affect seriously would be tempted lo leave the state and the other taxes they now piy would be los 1 Another point presented, which looks to the future, was the Inheritance taxes that might tie lost to the state through citizens row mailing sonic other commonwealth their legal place of icsi- dencc.
