Assessment of Printing Omces.

Some time ago Attorney General Mullan,
in response to an inquiry. rendered an
opinion to the effect that printing and pub
fishing companies must be assessed like
any other corporations. Some Of the print
ing companies in Des Moines and other
cities of the state were making the con-
tention that they should be assessed as
manufacturing concerns and not as cor
porations and that they should not be re-
CURED to hle with the assessors the sched-
ules of their corporate business. especially
where they are engaged in blank book
making. 1t came to he attention of the
county auditor today that some OF the COM
panies have been claiming TO assessors that
the attorney general has reversed his de-
cision In the matter. The state auditor
was appealed to, but found there was no
warrant for this. The assessment OF such
corporations will not be different from
others.
