WAYS OF TAXATION ARE
Sipshod, Haphazard Fashion of Making Assessments Has Been in
Vogue Forty Odd Years


have been administering the law. Assessors go out and either
don't look at the property. or copy of old valuations and bring
it. " . " The board has no choice; the board must equalze
the assessment after you have determined the facts. 1t doesn't
make any difference whether II is something you want to do OF
not. 1t is a right which the property owner has and which
he has a right to be protected in. and In which 1t is the boards
duty to protect him. So that, whether 1t Is an agreeable thing
or not, a convenient thing or not, II you find that one property
owner whose property is worth $1,000 is assessed at 800 and
another who is worth the same sum is assessed at s166. you
must equalize, and II you equalize by varying the rate OF the
levy, and the levy is s on the one whose assessment Is S100,
you cannot make it more than about s whatever fraction 1t ia,
to make the result Of the tax the same on the two"
Further on in his argument for the lower tax levy in Doug
to regulate this unequal form Of taxing. by changing the rate
Of levy, he says:
This is the first time that the powers Of this board have
been invoked for that purpose, and now the opportunity rests
they have so long worked successfully. they cannot continue to
work. AS soon as @ county sees that by making a low as
sessment, It's levy is correspondingly higher, then that induce
ment to juggle with the assessment will be largely taken
away"
In addition to the argument presented by Mr.. Mcintosh and
Mr.. Shields along these lines, they presented three expert wit
nesses CMr. +. H. Myers, Mr.. F. J, Fitzgerald and Mr.. Thoe. F.
Boyd in regard to the value OF farm property IN Nebraska. who
testified under oath as to their belief of the value Of land in
various counties suggested to them, and in addition q great
many amdavits from local real estate men in various counties
were presented and used in evidence The State Labor Com
missioner was also placed on the stand and certified to the corr
rectness Of the report made by him, which had been compiled
from estimates sent him by the surveyors Of the different coun-
ties Of the State as to the value OF lands.
We have tabulAted below these returns from twenty-one
counties, which show the extraordinarily low valuation placed
on farms in compariso with these estimates from different
sources. The estimates of the witnesses. 1t must be remem-
improved and unimproved. The assessed value here shown is

In the preceding bulletins we have shown that there was
a general disposition on the part Of assessors throughout the
state to assess the value Of property in their separate counties
at 10 per cent, or possibly less, of its value, and In this re-
duction in assessment the railroads only desired that their
assessments should be made on the same basis as other prop
erty.
In support OF this form Of argument we have been ably
seconded by the factS and figures presented and the argument
made at Lincoln by the Omaha Real Estate Exchange in
their presentation of their case asking for a reduction In the
levy for state purposes in Douglas county.
Mr.. Mcintosh, in his argument before the board, ably pre-
sented this feature which the railroads wish to make plain.
after making the assertion that Douglas county farm assess
ments have been higher in proportion than those Of other
counties, which is q fact, he says: Z
THAT being true, 1t is a matter Of right on the part OF
the taxpayers of Douglas county that the levy should be 80
adjusted as to equalize the taxes as between the different
counties of the state, and, whereas, in our petition which is
on file here, we claim the disparity is the difference between
a one-sixth and a one-tenth-our petition was drawn up be-
fore we were as Well advised of the facts as we are now,
and If we were making other allegations nowNWe would say
the disparity is between about a one-hfth and one-hfteenth,
and 1 am not sure but what we ought to amend these figures
in our petition" \- f. MS E ~
After introducing testimony connrmatory Of the position
taken, that the farm property IN Douglas county was as
sessed higher in proportion than other property through the
state, in his remarks to the board. he states the Following:
1--WE have gene along in the state Of Nebraska now for some
forty odd years, taxing property, or not taxing 1t, in about as
slipshod, hAphazard fashion as one could possibly invent, II he
sat down to evolve something thoroughly ridiculous In respect
to taxing, out Of his own mind. . " +" It is not within the
power of the state, and therefore could not be within the power
OF the board, to make one piece Of property valued at 1000 pay
one iota more tax than another piece Of the value of $1,000.
. . Now, from what l have been able to learn Of this con-
stitution and this revenue law In this state, in my opinion our
constitution could not be improved in its revenue features, and
our revenue law is as good a one a s any state has. The trouble.
II this board please, with the state OF Nebraska In this revenue
law is not about the law, but about the fool way in which We

II is a strange thing how people Will
