With the light Of these figures before us,
we are forced 10 the conclusion that the
general government IN IT'S collection of

has made signal failure; or else. the
present system Of rendering and yaluing
property by the State government IS fatal
iy defective and needs radical changes In
order 10 give even an exact Justice 20 the
citizen.
The law IS. that all proDerty not exempt
shall be rendered for taxation, and shall
be assessed az It's cash value; and II this
should be done, no taxpayer who renders
his property az It's cash value according 10
the law would be required 10 pay one dollar
more OF taxes on the contrary, his taxes
would be decreased, for the increased tax
able values would cause the ratio 70 be re
duced In proportion to the Increased values.
II the hgures OF the census report, the
comptroller Of currency and the railroad
commission are true, fair and Just, It dem

Of the State can safely be said to be at
