TAXING MUNICIPAL BONDS.

There has been agitation in some
amendment which exempted Ohio mu.
nicipal bonds from taxation. Massa-
chusetts municipalities just now are
experiencing considerable difficulty In
selling bonds and the Boston Tran
script holds that IL the taxes were
removed it would help their sale:
The difficulty which this city and
others are experiencing in finding a
market for their municipal securities
makes 1t highly opportune time to
urge their exemption from taxation by
the next legislature, as means Of
making them somewhat moro attrac-
tive to the investor, It is utterly
senseless for public authority to take
money out Of one pocket to put it into
another. This is what the taxation
OF public securities of all sorts
amounts to wherever and to the ex-
tent that the taxes are collected, and
worse trade than this where the
taxes are evaded. The liability to tax
alton must be always in the mind of
the syndicate which bid for such bonds
and so a controlling factor in their
rate Of return to the city. The effect
upon our state bonds of their recent
exemption from taxation has been
clearly demonstrated II the exemp.
tlon should be accorded to future is
sues of Boston's bonds, II would re-
suit in saving to the city far in ex.
cess Of any loss n receipts from
taxation which might be enacted,
Revenue from that source, as a prac-
tical matter, amounts to extremely
little.--Zanesville, o., Courier

! LAND VALUES
! and TAX RATES |

1t is probable that one Of the worst
practices in connection with the as
sessed valuation Of real estate Is the
preference which is frequently given
to unimproved property, held for spec.
ulative purposes, by land companies
and individuals, for the BENEFITS aris.
ing from neighborhood improvements
and growth In many communities
this class Of property Is held for
years, and has not only been assessed
at nominal figures, but owners have
frequently defaulted in their taxes
and assessments, with the hope, per-
haps, that future buyers would pay
these public charges in the purchase
Of the tracts SO held.
It haa been the experience in some
OF our growing cities. that large tracts
of unimproved residential land, map
ped out in lots at good prices, are
owned by land companies and are
assessed as farm lands, at nominal
ratou. Sometimes, large tracts Of
land, in the outskirts of our cities,
are held by speculative owners, wait.
Ing to secure the unearned increment
from the enterprise of others, while
In the meantime the public received
but small revenue from these proper.
ties. But when a lot is sold to pri-
vate purchaser, and house Is built
upon it, Immediately the assessed val
uation is placed at a higher figure
than whole acre of the remaining
part of the tract Is assessed This is
penalty on Improvements which
should be abolished.
The principal cause Of low valua-
tion in suburban places is found in
the idea Of local property owners that
they attract buyers and residents.
With certain amount to be collected,
the lower the valuation the higher the
tax rate. For local purposes, there
fore, 1t doesn't make any difference
whether the tax Is paid at high rate
on low valuation, or at low rate
on high valuation: the amount Of
tax is the same in either case. An
other consideration which is also held
Is the municipalty's share of the coun-
tvs expenses. The lower the assessed
valuation, the less the municipality
has to pay each year to the county.
That has practically been the princi-
pal course in the counties, with re.
gard to percentage valuations, as
taxes on real estate are not paid 20
the state. The opportunity which is
afforded local assessors to discrimin-
ate as between property owners is
evidently great and possibly 1t is
sometimes grossly abused.
The effect of the abolition OF dis.
ordinations and especially on unim.
proved property must be to reduce
tax bills, since a large amount Of
property which is not assessed at a
figure near it's real worth will be add.
ed to the valuations. Then, too, q
fair and just rate of valuation and
taxation will do mucn to break up a
speculative holding of unimproved
lands, intended for sale in residential
lots, and the unearned increment will
advert to those who improve and not
to those who stand in the way of pro-
gress and public improvements

UNEQUAL TAXES.

Why, for instance, should land
worth $40 an acre be returned in one
county at -, In another at s6 and In
another perhaps at $40? Land worth
$40 an acre in the market is worth as
much for taxation In one county as In
another, and what the state needs, II
the enforcement Of present laws win
not do 1t, is new laws which will es.
teblish q system of uniformity about
tax return, not only on land and real
estate, but upon all classes Of prop
erty.
How can the conscience OF the cor
poration official who returns his prop
erty at 60 per cent Of it's value be
brought into question when other
property owners of the state are per.
mitted to make returns at 80 per cent
and. In many known cases, even as
low as 10 per cent OF actual market
value?--xAilanta Constitution.
