Supreme Court Decision. Aid
in the Tax Dodging
There.

POik county TO llle state ludllOf, folh
county has s155,0o0 i'll capital employed
in m;lnufactorics Many other coun-
ties OF the state have much more than
that reported By the assessor. When
AN explanation was sought at the as
SCISSORS office in The court house here 1T
WAS explained that the assessment Is
the Jaw material only used in manu-
factories and that only the average
amount on hand. In this way ii is pos
sibie FOR one city With Il little intention
to dodge taxes To escape u considerable
amount of its share. The real estate
and machinery that is not removable
is assessed as real estate.
One OF the difficulties complained of
BY the assessor in this city is that the
big brick companies pay taxes only on
u small amount of their property. 1t
they have several millions of nanufac-
tu1ea brick piled up about their yards
there is no way of reaching it With,
ta.;ation for they have a supreme court
opinion that covers the matter. The
raw material that Went into the brick
could be assessed but that has already
been assessed as real estate and so the
brick pays no taxes.
% Man Is Secure.
The locs .LGincs Ice company is like
wise fortified With an opinion from the
supreme court in n case carried up
there There is no way of taxing the
ice that is stored up for sale except
as raw ',sateristl and as raw material it
WIS water and is worcestershire. The
ice houses and non Sos and wagons only
a'e assessable. The factories such as
the NtatZer Carriage company may
Rave their Factory full of carriages and
Vehicles, but the goods cannot be as
sessea The raw material, or rather the
average amount of raw material kept
on hand. can b. assessed, ard that only,
in edition to The real estate and build
ifl3s am, machinery.
The difficulties that the assessors Of
flee here. complains Of is not SO much
ciiort, On the part OF the business elc-
ment to dodge the taxes, though there
is some of that done, too. avs the diff
