KICK on ASSESSMENTS.

~ SlOE Ia =. -
There is q pretty well estaDlisneu
conviction in the minds OF the taxpay
orc in the southern part or the stare
that there is something wrorg with the
nrasent law governing the assessment
| az nrouerty. Not a session OF the legis
loture has PASSED since 1890 that mas
mot witnessed some alteration or the
revenue law. The last, however, was
the most radical. As a consequence
| douglas. Bon Homme, Charles MIX,
hutchinson. Turner and Yankton U
| ties are meeting with very grave dlIn-
ouItias in the assessment OF taxes.
The constitution requires property TO
he assessed at it's full money value, u
the present law contemplates the same,
but the practice has been to assess
nronertv AT from one-half to two-thirds
its value. At the meeting or the state
auditor and county auditors, held IN
Yankton not long since, it was decided
to carry out the provisions OF the law,
and In the assessment in Rand TO as
| cess all property at its full value. IN
| der the direction of the state auditor,
the assessors, in some cases, have at
tempted 10 do this, ard now comes a
storm of circumstances that makes the
county board of equalization quake.
The Yankton county board seems 10
be in a prcdicament. Ii was In session
all of the past week, and raised the as
sessment, as returned by the deputy
assessors. In more than 300 cases. IL
covered less than one-third OF the as
sessment roll, and the law prescribes
that it may sit only five days as a
board of equalization. That time ex-
pired on Saturday night at II o'clock,
and States Attorney Davis CONSTITUTES
the law to state specifically that the
board cannot act after the five days
are up.
In accordance with the provisions OF
the law, in every case in which the tig-
ures of the assessor have been raised,
the board has notified the property
owners. AS a consequence, they have
received a storm of protests, and have
spent most of the past four days in
listening TO complaints which range all
the way from merely excessive assess
mcnt to fraud in tampering with the
assessment books sir ce they were de-
livGred TO the county assessor.
A similar state of affairs exists In the
other counties named. All sorts OF
complaints and charges and counter
charges are made, but with what anal
result can not now be predicted.
