TAX MATTERS CONSIDERED.
The state board of equalization,
Messrs X. G. Lund, j. j. Thomas,
Thomas d. Dee and Sven .. Nelson,
were in Provo yesterday and met with
the board Of county commissioners and
Assessor Thorne for the purpose OF con-
sidering the question OF raising reve-
nues for the state. The matter Of max
ing equitable Assessments and the nee
essary of doing so was thoroughly dis
cussed, and the assessor impressed with
its importance, Ii is thought probable
that the assessment VIII have to be
raised by the board Of equalization, and
In that even 1t will be unjust 10 the
taxpayer, already assessed TO the full
value of his property, 10 increase his
assessment, while another taxpayer,
who may only be assessed 80 per cent
OF the value OF his property, will be
subjected to no greater advance than
the one whose property is already as
sessed at its full valuation, and the as
SCISSOR was urged 10 guard against such
Discrimination.
