Mr.. Taylor presented the following
report of the committee appointed by

/ the State Tax Commission
To the Honorable Board Of Supervisors Of Iowa
County.
GENTLEMEN THE undersigned. appointed by
the Board Of this county for 1901 20 appear before
the State Tax Commission at Madison In behalf Of
this county. do now report TO you that we were
given audience by said Commission in August Of
| this year. Our reception was cordial: and our
words we're heard with courtesy.
IL seems from the figures showing the equaliz-
ing Of that body for this year that some degree
our pleas were effective but, possibly the result
/ might have been the same had we made no al.
| peayance before them.
Il seems 10 be fact that the Commission IL
practically committed 70 the idea Of equalizing in
/ the light Of sale values. We do not believe In
| their idea aS they do On the contrary. we only
admit the value Of sales tables az the minor rather
than the major rule for guidance IN eqnaizing
land values
Ii Is true that IN the equalization ~ city and
village lots distinct from The buildings thereon
selling values must be held 20 control rightly ard
justly. in equalizing for in no other way can that
intangible value which IL a product III the close
association Of human beings together for business

New York City, being the corner Of Broad and

ness opportunity. It's selling value Il alone must
