MAY ABOLISH ASSESSORS.
New County Officer Proposed for Tax
alton Purposes.

Dickinson county will have another
county officer or commission to
elect il proposed change is made in
the assessment law. This change Is
to be recommended by the tax COM
mission appointed by the last leg
islature. 1t will abolish city and
township assessors and make radical
changes in the method.
While the tax commission has not
yet formulated any bill for passage by
the legislature it Is generally under
stood among the members what sew
eral provisions Of the bill will be.
One OF the chief provisions will be to
extend the period oireal estate assess
ment. Under the present law, real
estate is assessed every two years
Under the proposed law it will be as
sessed every five years. 1t will be
provided that in case OF sudden
boom in a certain locality or the COL
lapse Of boom in another locality
the assessment can be changed.
Township assessors will be discarded.
The assessment will be made either
by a county assessor or commission.
A state commission will be provided
for to assess railroad, telegraph, tele-
phone and express property and also
to equalize all property. This work
is now done by the state officers. The
object Of putting it in the hands Of a
commission is to require them to
work at the taxation and assessment
question all the time. The state
mission will be given power not
only to equalize as between counties
but as between individuals where the
county assessors have done an injus-
tice,
