OLYMPIA. Sept. ia dispatch TO an
Eastern Washington paper. emanating
from Olympia a week since, purported 10
forecast @he action of the state board or
equalization regarding railroad values In
this state. wherein 1t was stated that at
least two members of the board. who were
ningIe takers, would equalize the rate per
mile for railroads at s35 600. because dur
ing the legislature a corporation repre-
sentative made the statement that 1t cost
his company that amount to build its
road 1t IL ve'y doubtful II the present
board OF equalization ever thought of such
an undertaking. or that the board is pos
sessed OF a member who thought II had
the power 10 do so. even II so inclined.
The values In this regard, as equallzsd by
the county boards, range from $4,000 per
mile IN Yakima and Snohomish counties.

~ boards. not TO arbitrarily fix values OF

county assessments. and II the present
board attempted the cction foreshadowed
In the dispatch above referred TO Il would
be brought UP standing In short order.
But allowing that the board possessed
such power IL would be totally ineffective
in giving the individual taxpayer any re-
lief or in levylng additional burden upon
the corporation.
When the present board has completed
It's labors properly, It win merely have
equalizei values as fixed by the county
boards and. this done. compute the amount
due from the various counties and report
the same TO the couasy auditor. who viii
ascertain the percentage necessary TO be-
levied upon the valuation fixed by the
county board In erdar TO raise the amount
designated by the state board for state
tax and school tax: in Other words the
state board determines the per cent. nee
essary TO be levied by each county. a
radical Increase In railroad values results
IN raising the amount OF taxes to be paid
BY every taxpayer In the several counties
through which the railroads run. To b.
sure. the roads would pay their proper
ton Of the Increase. but II would Eiso In
creass the burden OF the individual tax
payer. No action by he stare board Of

boards but any increase or decrease made

From this statement % facts II viii read
