Taxes gRE TOO HIGH.
Pullman Taxpayers IN Mass Meet
ing RenoDstrate.
Popr1istic Overtaxation Is too
Burdensome.

The Pullman taxpayers have good oc.
casion to register complaint this year
for the taxes which theyiare called upon
to pay are nothing short of robbery,
This is not altogether the fault of high
levy, as the assessment was manifestly
unjust and unequal. At the time the
assessment was made it was supposed
that each taxpayer was entitled to ex-
emptions in the sum of $1,000. but as this
bad populistic law was declared uncon-
stitutional, taxpayers ind themselves
called upon to pay taxes on every dol
lar'e werth of property they own, and as
the assessment was, especially in Pull
man, SO uniformly high and unjust, the
people now feel called upon to object.
Thursday night mass meeting was
held in Reaney's hall, the purpose of
the meeting being the discussion of the
oyertaxation of Pullman property. At
torney Harvey was chairman of the
meeting, and A. A. Miller secretary, and
the hall was filled with the taxpaving
public. A petition was drawn up, to be
presented to the county commissioners,
requesting the assessment be made more
equal and just, and committee was ap-
pointed to get legal advice in regard to
bringing suit in case the commissioners
offer no remedy.
Taxes on Pullman property are in
many instances treble what they have
been in previous years, The cause of this
being poor judgment or arbitrary unjust
ness, the deputy assessor often assess
ing piece of property at several hun
dred dollars more than it was offered for
sale at.
.H, The people Of Pullman ", not trying
highway robbery. Tnty are not COM
planning because the exemption law was
declared invalid, for the majority of
them believe IN the equal taxation of all, /
each property holder paying his just pro-
portion, but tley do ask that property
values be morenearly equalized, and no
shown. /
