UNION D1srRIor, MASON Co..

May %, 1905.
ED1ToR REGIsrRR:-I would like
to ask a few questions concerning
the New Tax Law. and for fear you
can not answer them satisfactorily
to all, would suggest that you print
this in your paper snd let some of
our Republican friends that know
all about the law answer them.
LIST. Does the law require the
assessor to list the building material
you have on your farm as mention
ed in the 10Th item on the bIsnk
that are furnished by the assessorP
2od. Are you required by the
law to list ties. saw logs, lumber
etc that have been bought by you
and only partly paid for before the
first of AprilP Would these come
under item 26 of the list2
End. Is the assessor complying
with the law. if he lists property
at only two thirds of what the
owners have been offered for it
and that offer still stanGingI
The reason 1 ask these questions
is this: 1 was fool enough to think
that We would be expected to obey
the new laws and follow the tax
commissioners instructions even
though they are bad laws; and l
have filed ont the blank sent me
and put down a timber, fence posts.
saw logs. and building material at
their true and actual value. and l
find the deputy assessor up here
does not list any material that one
will tell him he intends to use on
the farm, and 1 have heard that he
does not assess tier, lumber &C..
that have been bought and not
paid for in full.
Now if this is the law. 1 would
like to know it; fer 1 was fool
enough to list what property l
owned the first of April. even
though it was not raid for, for l
am certain that the parties that l
bought from will not list it, for
they have sold it to me.
Yours truly
Democrat.
