of values assessed against other property
holders in the respective counties when
they 60 to make up the assessment
against the railroad and telegraph COM
panies. Any other proceeding would
be inequitable and unjust to those COM
panies who own very large per cent. of
the taxable property OF the state.
The method in vogue of assessing prop
erty at about one-third or one fourth its
reasons. The most important objection,
however, is that as long as the system
prevails the people of each county put as
low price upon their lands as the assessor
will permit. The assessor is an elective
officer, interested in holding the position,
and consequently yields every point his
conscience will permit.
The result is that real estate values con-
stantly 60 down on the tax books in a
great many counties. In those that are
honest enough to add enhanced values,
the people feel all the time that they are
bearing an unjust proportion of taxation,
and they have reason for feeling that
way, too Constant dissatisfaction is the
natural result.
Nor is this all. We are endeavorlng to
bring industrious settlers here They look
at our tax milage. They, of course, do
not know that property is assessed so far
below it's real cash value, and the rate
seems ruinonsly high to them. In fact,
many of them are deferred from coming
on that account.
If all property was assessed at its real
cash value the millage would be reduced
to the minimum, and yet there could be
a surplus of funds. There is a statute law
in existence requiring property TO be so
assessed. We think, without consulting
the board or any member of it, that the
board can be relied upon to make the
railroad and telegraph companies bear
their just proportion. This being true,
there is no justification for the present
method, and no excuse for its continu-
ance.

How Property Should be Assessed
From the TallahaSSeean.

From the TallahaSseean.
There has been considerable Comment
by the press "f the state upon letter rp.
Gently sent out 10y Governor Jennings to
the county tax assessors throughout the
state. The letter was published i'm the
news column of The TallalIasSrean at the
time, and the position taken hy the gov
ern"r, To Wit, that all property should be,
under the law, assessed at its real cash
value. was so manifestly just and correct
that We did not think it required edito-
rial argument, or anything more than
passing comment. But the question mas
stirred up whole lot of talk, if 1t never
causes action 10y the assessors.
Most OF the papers for one cause or an
other agree with the governor without
qualification or equlvOcation. The Gaines
vile Sun, In its usual ahle manner, how
ever, points out certain alleged dangers.
1t agrees with the governor that all prop
erty should be assessed at its full cash
value, but thinks il would I've dangerous
to inaugurate such plan unless the same
burden Is placed npon railroads and tele-
graphs. We submit that the objection is
not well takrn-under all the circum-
stances. which, by the way, ought to be
perfectly well understood by our old
friend McCreart, "f the Sun.
The railroads and teIrgraphs of the
state are assessed by board composed of
the comptroller, treasurer and attorney.
general of the state. These officials have
every access to all the assessment rolls of
the state, and il is fair to assume that
they take into consideration the pro rata
