We print this morning in our Springfield dis
patch tile pointed remarks made by A1r. Der
riokson, ono OF tho Cook County members of
the State Board Of Equalization, when he el-
tered his protest against tue outrageous in-
crease In the valuation of tho real and personal
property of this city and county. Afr. Derrick
son shows that while tho average increase
throughout tho State ovor tho assessment Of
1879 is q CLIO por cent, that Of Cook
County is LILO per cent. The e1ceas
in tho Cook County assessment ia, Of
courae, taken from the assessments In the
rest Of tho counties, which actually reduces
thoir increase to $40 per cont, requiring Cook
County to pay taxos on an increase of $40 Of
per cent higher valuation than tho remainder Of
the State. Tho valuation placed upon tho city
and town lots in Cook County amounts to $780,
$500 more than that Of all tho city and town
lots in all the rest of tho State put together.
Mr.. DerrickBon did not hesitate TO donounco
this action as spo}ation Of Cook
County for tho benefit OF other counties. Ho
was also at pains to show that there were glar-
Ing Inconsistencies, suggested by local aelaBh-
meas, in the equalization Of noar1y ovory dis
trict IN tie State, much to the discredit Of tho
Board Tho importance Of this Is TINT Chicago
