Problems For Assessor and rax.paver

An article in the CENSOR of June 9th,
comes with warning assessors. Be-
ing one of the 1900 asse ors of Wisconsin
took the hint, and take the opportun-
ity to warn the taxpayers in my assess
ment district of the coming cyclone, 1t
will be impossible for me to take the
time TO explain the advantage or dis
advantage of the new law The tax.
payers must be prepared TO face the
music and pay his dues in December
Those who think the valuation of their
home tead is too high at present must
not get excited if / raise the valuation
from one to 400 per cent. 1t appears to
me that this full value scheme will be
like running red hot poker into hor-
nuts nest. Every taxpayer who can
find loop-hole to crawl ont will do it;
will drive great deal of property clean
out of the tax rolls. a man Is a fool
that will pay taxes if he can legally get
out of it. 1t will place an additional
burden on those who are willing to pay
and are already paying more than their
share of taxes The present way of
equalizing taxes has been disgrace to
the state of Wisconsin. The laws should
be made so that there would be no way
to escape taxa ton. All property should
be assessed to the owners only. This
full value scheme is sure to bring about
a speedy tax reform. The people will
stand no more fooling, They are getting
ready for action. We want tax reform
and are going to have it with the help
of the state tax commission and Little
Bob.
1t is not fair to blame the assessors
for the present low rate of assessment.
Their work has been placed on record,
viewed and accepted by the board of re-
view of each assessment district; accept
ed and equalized by the county board of
each county. Real estate has doubled
in plasces in the past ten years and has
not been raised on the tax rolls. in many
instances cut down by the voters, 1t
would be unreasonable to expect asses
sors to do any different as there has
been no call for it before, have been
in line and ready for action ever since
the first of May, and have waited pa
tiently for instruction. | shall cheer
fully follow the law to the best of my
ability, so help me God, and will expect
the rest TO do the same.

ANEW ASSESSMENT OFFICER.

The late Legislature created new
official position, which il rightly G
Quoted, will prove of great value IL
strengthening out and adjusting tie
present unsatisfactory and unequal tax
problems. 1t will be the link between
the state tax commission and precinct
and town assessor. The expense of the
new officer will be overcome hundred
fold by the good res ults attained II he do
his duty honestly and fearlessly. In eff
feet the new law provides that the
county board of all counties, at the an
nual session in November in 1901 and
every third year thereafter, shall elect
a county supervisor Of assessment who
shall hold his Office for three years from
the first Monday in January following
such election. Tie compensation OF
such officer shall not exceed the sum of
four dollars for each day actually EN-
ployed in the work of such Office, which
shall include all his expenses. The
county board may authorize the county
supervisor of assessment to appoint one
or more deputies with the same power
as the supervisor.
The supervisor of assessment shall
have full and complete supervision and
direction of the work of the town, city
and village assessors of the county and
shall annually, on or before the last
Tueseay in April, call meeting of all
the assessors of the county for CENTER
ence and instruction relative to the
duties of such assessors in the valuation
and assessment of all kinds and classes
If property subject TO taxation under
the laws of the state. All town, city
and village assessors upon notice from
said county supervisor, shall attend srch
meeting, and shall receive the sum of
three dollars for attending such meet
ing, and six cents per mile for travel
from their resi- ience to the county seat
and returning
Such officer shall as often as may be
necessary during each year, personally
visit each town, city and village in his
county. He shall have access to all
public records. He shall be under the
supervision ana direction of the state
tax commission.

The Madison journal arraigns the
state democracy severely for the conduct
of its representatives in thu late legisla-
ture. 1t says:
The poor old Wisconsin democracy is
80 dead that it has not even lifted its
head to ask If the legislature has ad.
journed. 1t was sorry lot of cheap
Jacks that represented that party in the
legislature. Where there was crooked
measure, suspect bill, proposition
to fatten corporations and to pinch the
people, the democrats of the Legislature
made such a rush to vote in favor OF
these bad bills that the sergeant-at-arms
had to aid the clerk in persuading them
to vote in order.
The members alluded TO above were
80 enamored with the lobby, the Pfster
confederacy and the Mil 1ukee Sentinel
that they lost sight of :. responsibility
to the people. Like few republicans
in the legislature, they bolted their
party and turned their backs on its sol
emn promises.
