TO POOL THE ISSUE
Board of County Commits
SionerS Asked to Assist.
IN RAISING RAILROAD TAXES
Garfield County Commissioners Sub
NIT Proposition to the Other
County Boards.

It is apparently the intention of sew
eral Of the counties in Washington to
go after the railroads in the matter of
taxes and several of the boards of
county commissioners throughout the
state have instructed the county as
SCISSORS to place a much higher Valua-
ton on the railroad property in their
counties than has been agreed upon
10y the assessors state association.
The commissioners of Walla Walla
county are in receipt of the following
letter from the county commissioners
of Garfield county in relation to the
subject:
AT a meeting of the board of cOun-
February. 1904, the auditor was in
structed to correspond with the differ
ent county boards relative to the mat
ter Of raising railroad assessments to
an equitable amount as compared with
the assessment of other classes of
property. ~
Sitting as board of equalization
this board wishes to back our assessor
in Il considerable raise.
"Of course the railroad people will
fight any raise above the amount
agreed upon, or rather fixed, by the re-
cent convention of assessors.
Now. if several counties will pool
issues in this matter of a raise a much
stronger fight could be made collect
lively than for each county to tackle
the matter independently.
The best of legal talent should be
employed and a considerable expense
entailed.
BY pooling issues making uni
form assessment and a concentrated
and we'll organized effort. test case
could be made to fall lightly on the
several counties.
What do you think of this plan?
Are you satisfied with the amount fix
ed by the recent assessors convention
and believe it an equitable and just
rate as compared with other classes
of property?

IF not satisfied would you be willing
to pool issues and sitting as a county
board of equalization raise the assess
ment? How much, in your judgment
would be equitable and just?
"At the present rate of assessment
in this county the o. r. & n. Co. is
assessed at about half as compared
with other classes of property.
THE assessors have shown their
hands and the matter is up to the diff
ferent county boards of equalization.
What shall be done?"
The Walla Walla commissioners
have not considered the letter from
Garfield county, but will take it up at
their next meeting, to be held in March.
While they have not expressed their
views on the subject it is limited that
every member of the board is in favor
Of a high, assessment on all railroad
property in Walla Walla county.
