FAIRNESS BEGINS AT HOME.


prominence to an objection upon the
part of citizens of the northern por-
ton of Marshall county to the twenty
Der cent increase in the assessment
made by the State Board of Equaliza-
ticD, and the general tenor of the ar
ticle was one of sympathy for the Mar
shall county people.
How does it happen that tears are
shed over the troubles of realty own
ers in an adjoining county, and nary
weep" for our own people? Has
the Intelligencer no bowels of COM
passion for its friends and neighbors,
many of whom had their assessment
increased from so to 800 per cent? 1t is
strange, indeed, that it should shed
tears over the alleged woes of our
neighbosing county, and find no fault
with realty increase of over four
millions in Ohio, previously andn motor
'iously rated far too high as contrasted
with two-thirds or three-fourths of
the other counties of the State.
Ohio county got substantial reduc-
ton in its unfair assessment, through
the orders of the State Board. But it
is limited that we would have derived
a greater benefit had it not been for
tn: influence and interference of GER
tain local officials. 1t appears to have
heen the idea and hope of some of our
people to keep the assessment in Ohio
county up to the limit, while in Mar
shall county the efforts of the officials
was to keep it down. No Ohio county
Official raised his voice in protest at
the work of our revaluation assessors
Why? The Intelligencer never called
upon those in power in this county to
aid in securing relief for our people.
Why? The tendency was all in the
ether direction. Why?
Wheeling and Ohio county have been
gwen the red-hot end of the assess
ment poker and the besmirched end
of the taxation stick for many years.
We pay and have paid vast sums in
excess of our quota. We have been
worked rs a good thing, and have
been looked upon as easy. And it
is charged that our own officials
have not only encouraged the
outrage, but aided and abetted
in its contamination. 1t Is time for
PLAIN language and the plain English
if the situation is, that an element or
our own people. for personal and po-
litieal reasons, have aided and abetted
the imposition Of burden upon our
tax payers far beyond the limits set
by justice and equity and fairness.
And yet sympathy is wasted upon
other counties able to look out for
their own interests.
The reductions made in this county.
OF 1857 per cent in the city district
and per cent in the county district,
cuts off a total of about S2.11S. 600
from the aggregate of S19,942 $50 orig
inally returned. But this does not
afford relative relief to the realty
owner who is over-assessed, for the
cut is a horizontal one, falling alike
upon all. The State Board helps the
county as whole, but it aids the in
dividual whose valuation was doubled
or trebled very little, and it is here
that the local board must afford relief
1t is high time the people of Ohio
county realized the situation, and
took appropriate and concerted action
for their own protection.
