Page Discusses Tax Decisions

John H. Page, territorial auditor, and ex-officio chairman of the board of equalization, has issued book let containing the supreme court opinions in the celebrated mining tax cases and giving his interpreta- ton of the decisions as they should bear upon and govern the actions of assessors.
 He lays emphasis upon the fact that all classes of property should be assessed according to their cash valuation, and points out that where injustices result from the raises made by the board they are always due to iniustices or errors of the assessing officer, for the board can only deal with classes, and if, for example, one mine worth thou sand dollars is assessed at that fig ure while several others worth the same amount are assessed at less figure the board can only raise the total to what it ought to be and the mine that was originally assessed at it's true value in bearing it's pro portion of the raise is unjustly dealt with, while the others merely pay what they should.
 The assessor then is responsible, through negligence, incompetency or discrimination for all injustices that result from such action by the board of equalization, says the aud itor. The document wiads up az follows:
 "A careful adherence, therefore, to the cash value of each piece of property as a standard, and abso- lute uniformity so far as it is prac- ticable, will result in justice to all taxpayers, and in greatly lessened difficulties of equalization and the collection of taxes. It will also re- suit necessarily in decreased rate of taxation-an end most earnestly to be desired by all taxpayers of Arizona as we'll as all interested in her welfare. present and future."

 Whereas, In the judgment of the board the rates of toll heretofore collected upon said toll road. to- wit: the sum of one dollar for each horse, mule or other animal, led, drove, rode or otherwise passing over or upon the said toll road, or any part thereof, is reasonable rate, and necessary to be collected to defray the expenses incurred by the county in the maintenance of said toll road and the collection of tolls thereon.
