Your attention is called to manifest de

tions OF the tax commission IN determIn.
ing the valuation OF the geG eral prope~ty
Of the state
All doubt in the present law as to the
authority of the commission to assess
the property not upon the local tax rolls
should be removed. But it is manifestly
unjust that the commission, when in
creasing the valuation of the property of
the state should, by so doing, impose ad.
ditlonal burdens upon classes Of property
already assessed at full value and upon
counties which have fully returned ali
taxable property. in compliance with the
statute. In other words, it seems clear
that in adding TO the assessed valuation
the commission should sub-divide ana
distribute such increases, showing the
nature and location of the property upon
which the increases have been made in
order to insure a just valuation of All
property and an equitable distribution Of
the tax burden.
