his ease in the east; and let us have all
personal property assessed at it's real
value and no exemption be allowed to
any one, for we don't believe in paying
premium on matrimony. II the comfort
and convenience is not enough we would
better reverse the present rule. But
while we are talking on the tax question
would il not be better idea to have the
tax which is collected from the railroads,
both from the railroad bed and from the
railroad land, for school purposes, dis
tributed equally in every district in the
county in which the road or land may be,
than to place it all in the district in
which the property happens to lay, as is
now done? Under the present method
district on a railroad will pay no school
tax at all in some instances, and yet be
able to hire a high priced teacher and
run a school the whole year if they wish
and have fine school house, and not be
bonded, either; while their neighbor's
districts are in debt for a school house
(or have a sod one, as in this country,
hire the cheapest teacher they can get,
only run their school a few months, and
pay a 20 mill school tax, while they con-
tribute just as much to the railroad as
the district on the line, and certainly
should have an equal share Of the tax
collected. E. A. MELLON.

A Word on Taxation.

EDITOR ADvocATE:-I see in the AD-
vocATE Of January Is an article headed
unjust Taxation" Now, I presume the
author means we'll, and section GER
tainly would work we'll il adopted by our
legislature; but when he comes to Sec
ton 5, making the owners valuation the
measure of value for all purposes, it
might do in some places, but l think it
wonld be poor policy here in the west,
where the railroads own one-hslf the
land and speculators and mortgage COM
panies own half the remainder. 1t would
be virtually putting premium on idle
ness and fining those who are improving
the barren plains of western Kansas and
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-02-08

trying to make a living here in the west,
by making them pay fine for every bit
Of improvement they put on their farms,
or have the spectators step in and take
their farms with all their labor in i'm
proving at the real value Of raw land; for
the speculators and railroad companies
are not the ones who are improving this
part OF the country, and they certainly
should pay as much tax on,their land as
the settler or farmer who is living on his
land and building up the country and by
his labor raising the value Of the specula-
tors land. The value added to the spec
ulator's by the adjacent improvements of
the settler should be taxed to the specu-
lator regardless Of improvements, and by
that means encourage improvements and
encourage settlers also by lessening their
burden of taxation.
The great fault with our method of as
sessing here seems to be on personal
property, or rather the evasion Of being
assessed. 1t is supposed to be assessed
at one-third of it's real value, and then
the supposed real value is placed at what
it would bring at sheriff's sale; and then
the assessed value being cut down to one
third Of that makes the valuation of our
property look very small to people in the
east, and yet we must raise a certain
amount Of money to carry on our state
government, and it makes the tax rate
SO high it is 'scsrecrow" to people in
the east, keeping back emigration. Bat
that is not all the fault with the one
third value system; there Is one class of
people who are exempt 5000, and by this
system it would exempt $500, and by the
undertaking they often raise their ex-
emption to far more than that, and as
that certain amount must be raised, it
places the burden on the few who are
not exempt on anything.
Now, il we are to have a revision Of
tax laws land | hope we are), let us have
all land assessed at it's real value exclu-
sive Of improvements, and by that means
encourage improvements and discourage
speculators in letting land lay idle to be
increased in value by the farmer all at
his expense, while the former is living at
