The Tax Commission.

When the present assessment
laws were passed industrial and
commercial conditions were very
different from those which obtain
at the present day. There were
few corporations then, q far less
number Of large enterprises, very
little property which could be
hidden from the assessor, and
less danger Of any man, or class
of men, escaping their just pro-
portion of taxation under the
laws we now have. But times
have changed somewhat, as we
nave remarked before, and the
taxpayer now is the man who
owns what might be called Job
vious," OF "obtrusive" property,
Thousands and hundreds Of thou
sands Of dollars worth Of proper
ty, modest and retiring in nature
never finds itself in the tax roll
at all, where it would be forced
to associate on terms Of equality
with the poor mans cottage and
cow, and thus it comes the poor
man contributes more than his
just proportion to the expenses
Of administration The mission
of this new commission will be
to formulate a plan by which all
classes Of property may bereach-
ed and equally assessed. It will
be the duty cf it's members to in
vestigate corporations Of all
kinds and discover what proper
ton they should pay into the
public treasury, but they must
go farther than this: They must
investigate the method now III
vogue Of assessing personalprop-
erty and endeavor to find some
means by which all classes Of
personal property-aIl personal
property, in fact-1nay be put
upon an equal basis. The mort
gage stored safely away in a
vault must be made to come out
into the light and stan / beside
the farmers plow horse, for both
are earning money, and both
should pay taxes. It is the pur-
pose Of the commission to con
suit with municipal, township
and county officers, ascertain
facts in relation to local methods
Of assessment, advise and coun-
sci with them, and put the re
suits Of their Investigations into
suggestions to the Legislature,
if they do not themselves prepare
bills to present to thelegis1atu1e.
This is clearly the greatest re
form that has been proposed Or
inaugerated for many years IN
this state, and it has been placed
in able hands.-Wausau Record.
