To The Taxing Officers of Counties Cities
townships and School Districts.

1t is made the duty of the Tax
Commission, in chapter 4O8 of
the laws of 1907, to confer with,
advise and direct all officers who
have duties to perform under
the laws relating to assessment
and taxation.
The only practicable way to
reach so large number of Off
GERS, some ten thousand or more,
is by correspondence; hence this
communication.
The Commission is, of course,
warranted in preSuming that
every assessing or taxing officer
will do his utmost to see that the
law is efficiently and strictly en-
forced. With such an admins
tration of the law there will be
large increase in assessments.
It is matter of common knowl-
edge that, under the assess
ments heretofore made, all kinds
of property have been more or
less undervalued. In very few
taxing districts has the assess
ment of property been as high as
forty per cent. of it's actual
value in money. Usually the
rate has ranged from twenty five
per cent down to ten per cent.
An assessment at actual value
in money, as the law directs, will
cause assessed values to be in
creased variously from 80 to
900 per cent.
AS the legislature made no
provision for decrease in levies
proportional to increased assess
mentS, it would seem that there
may be opportunity to increase
the amount of taxes in the sever
al taxing districts. 1t must be
apparent to any one who gives
the subject even slight consider
alton that the legislature, by
prodiving for an increased as
sessment, did not intend there
by to authorize increased taxes.
On the other hand, the intent
evident throughout the law is,
that the burden of taxation shall
be lessened by securing the as
sessment of property which has
heretofore escaped taxation, and
further. that the burdens among
taxpayers shall be equalized and
made relatively more just than
they have been in the past.
The Commission holds it to be
clearly the duty of every officer
who has to do with laying taxes
to see that the levy is reduced
proportionately as assessments
are increased, and that only such
a percentage in mills upon the
dollar is levied as will raise a tax
equal to, and not in excess of,
the amount that could have been
raised under the assessment
made last before the taking eff
feet of the new law
Pnblic sentiment will, un-
doubtedly, sustain all officers in
such action, and will most as
suredly condemn any attempt to
increase the tax burdens.
Kindly have this letter read by /
all officers who are associated /
with you upon any board of levy, |
and also please.preserve and read
