STATUS OF TAXATION.
Text Of = Circular Letter Issued BY
State Auditor Sinclair TO
All Assessors

My Dear Sir:
During the month Of March, 1899,
the State Board of Equalization call
ed = meeting OF the county assessors
of the state, to be held in the city OF
Boise, at which all the counties ex-
cept one we're represented The OBJ
ject OF the meeting was, as you are
aware, to acquire familiarity with
the revenue laws enacied By the Leg
islature at its last session and to de-
wise ways and means OF carrying out
effectively and equitably those laws.
The proceedings occupied several
days and the revenue system Of the
state was very thoroughly discussed.
The two most glaring defects of
our system to receive attention were
the lack Of uniformity or equality in
assessment, and the lack of genersl-
ity or failure to reach personal pro-
perty
According to our system of taxa
tion the total amount to be rnised by
the state is fixed by the Legislature
and apportioned by the State Board Of
Equalization among the counties &C.
cording to appraised valuation OF
EACH The rate OF taxation Ia found
by adding the county tax to the state
tax The local needs, therefore,
should vary the rate, and this would
be the only cause OF variance II pro-
perty was assessed uniformly In all
the counties. As is generally known,
this WAS not the fact In contiguous
counties, when conditions we're prac-
tically the same. we find that the
same class OF property was not as
sessed in the same manner or at the
, same rate. The inequalities were
often 80 great that the State Board ol
! Equalization was practically power

AS regards the failure to assess al

were practiced were 80 fragrant rs Il
