expectation that II the attack IL successful the
section OF the bill declaring the franchises

then the duty will devolve on the latter and not
on the State assessors. and the companies own
ing the franchises may fare worse than II they
allow the act to be applied as It stands.
The inequalities in the assessment, under eI-
listing laws. OF real and personal property In
general, which have been made conspicuous by
the testimony given before the Mazet Commit
tee. have long been known to citizens who
have had occasion to inquire into the matter.
and as yet no sufficient remedy has been sug-
gested for them. The valuation OF any kind OF
property when intrusted to fallble human be-
ings must OF course. be uncertain. and mis-
takes In making it must be expected. When
even dealers differ widely In their judgment
absolute accuracy cannot be demanded from
non-experts. Taxing the rentals OF prop
erty instead OF the property itself might
give more satisfactory results but the
experiment has never been tried in this
country, and there are objections to at
tempting 1t. In the case OF personal property
It looks very much as though we should have
to come to the listing system which has long
prevailed in the New England States and has
recently been introduced In Illinois Under
that system each citizen Is required to make
out under oath. list OF the personal property
belonging to him liable to taxation. under
penalty OF being doomed" by the assessors.
and having large percentage added
to their valuation. Its adoption here
would undoubtedly increase for time the
amount of assessabe personality. but the ex-
perience Of other States shows that It would
ultimately afford no better results than we OBJ
tain now. Wealthy citizens would remove
from the state or 50 arrange their investments
as to reduce their taxes to a comparatively
small amount. and some would even boldly
commit perjury and risk detection.
