HOW DELAYED ASSESSMENTS
OPERATED IN MARION CO.


why Is there universal delay in COM
pleting the Marion county assessment
Why is II that when the other counties
have their property for 1899 all assessed
long ago, the Marion county assessor
has only called the county board Of
equalization TO meet Nov. 1872 This is n
long standing abuse.
Meny counties have completed their
rolls, made the abstracts and sent them
10 the state officials. Marion county, ~
usual, will be one OF the last counties In
II II gets In at all. Often In the past
only the footings have been taken
TO the state house from this county and
generally the county gets the worst
Of IL.
The law Of assessment IL in n terrible
muddle and il IL pretty hard 10 locate
the blame for delay in assessment. As
sessment rolls according TO law ~ we
gather theiacts,go To the clerk after board
OF equalization goes over them. He
makes an abstract for the state officials.
After state officials equalize assessment
the clerk extends the amount OF tax co
ON the assessment roll. This cannot be
commenced until February first-all
counties alike. The clerk haa 10 days TO
do this work--it took 40 days last year.
Sheriff then has one month in which TO
collect. Taxes then become delinquent.
The county court extends time.
Under the law the assessr has until
the last Monday In August 10 complete
his work. Under the Nc sion law OF
1893 the county court may extend
his time until the first Monday In Oct
ober following. Possibly this law has
been repealed. lthas not been observed
In Marion county.
In the past II any amounts have had
10 be added ON the final equalization

have delayed the work more than the

400 days besides his own time, or about
1920 in all. The Office work was done
by Mr.. Stafford and his two daughters
and his rolls for 1890 were completed in
August and September. The whole ex.
pense Of assessing the county for 1899
was f2400, including his salary. The
clerk will be through copying this week
in Linn county.
II Is easy 10 see, on comparing the
work done in Linn and Marion, both by
Republican assessors, that there is a
screw loose somewhere. But where is
IL? Both are Republicans. Both oper-
ate under the same law. Linn Is n
q larger county In area than Marion, but
smaller in population and wealth. But
there IL not enough difference 10 ac-
count for the difference in results.
This Is no invidious comparison between
Populist, Democrat or Unionist, but
between two assessors Of the same party.
The comparison Ii not made for the sake
Of making IL odious but 10 get at the
facts.
Now what IL the practical effect Of de-
LAYING the assesament2 II 10 results in
in delaying the collection Of taxes,
as II always has In Marion county, II is
easy TO see that IL delays getting in the
years taxes, II delays paying the state
tax promptly, II delays getting the
taxes due the city and school district
into It's proper channels, aud what Is
the result2 The county pays the state
interest, the county warrants draw In.
terest, the city pays Interest, the school
district pays interest, interest Is paid in
three or four different ways that would
not bo the case II the assessment were
made promptly and the taxes collected
according TO law. The difference is that
Linn county IL out Of debt and pays no
interest and Marion county just the OPP
posite.
Under the policy of delayed assess.
ments the sheriff has not time 10 collect
the taxes before they are by law de-
clared delinquent. Then the time for
for payment Is extended. The man OF
ready means, who figures close ON lend
ing his money, the big taxpayers and
wealthy corporations, that could pay
just as well as not on March 10, when
taxes by law become due, wait nine
month or year--under the old regime
they often waited 10 10 20 months be-
fore paying-when the assessment is
not completed ON time. A corporation
owing $1,000 to 5000 taxes has the use
Of the money il owes the county for that
time, and the taxpayer is paying the in
terest on warrants.
The present sheriff of Marion county
is for the first time in many years
printing his delinquent tax list in octo-
her and will close the years work with
in the year, Now II taxes had been de.
elared delinquent according TO law,
which could not be done because of de-
lay in completing the rolls, what would
have been the rcsult9 Marion county
would be out OF debt. The county
would have had the use of at least s6O,-
600 that il has not had. Instead of
big interest burden the county would
pay no interest, and like Linn county
would have ready money TO carry ON its
business and could in course OF time re-
iuce the county taxes.
