tuition provides that both real and
personal property shall be taxed IN
proportion to its value to be ascer-
tanned as directed by law. These
new tax laws, which our Democratic
friends would revise. provide that all
property, both real. and personal,
whether assessed by the assessor, as
sistant assessor or other person or
officer. or by the Board of Public
Works. or any tribunal, shall be as
sessed at its true and actual value,
that is TO say: At the price for which
such property would sell If voluntarz
lily offered for sale by the owner
thereof upon such terms as such
property the value of which is sought
to be ascertained. is usually sold, and
no. the price which might be realized
II such property was sold at a forced
saleN do not believe our DeT.o-
cratic friends would change this.
And then among other things this
law provides that after this year all
real estate shall be assessed annual
~. Why assess personal property
each year and real estate only every
ten years as we used to do?
l have not the time to go into a
full discussion of the new tax laws,
but permit me to say am in hearty
accord and sympathy with them and
IL revision should be found jneces-
sary let me repeat what have said
in the beginning. they should be re-
viged by their friends AMI not by
their enemies.
But what about the practical work
ings of these laws? Have the people
been benefited or injured by them
II there is man in this state who
has been injured by the new tax laws
is not the course attributable to the
officer charged with the enforcement
rather than to the laws? We have
a uniform rule for ascertaining the
value of the property of every man,
but as long as men are fallible so
long will men differ upon the value.
of property as we'll as upon other
things.
Cause for Smile.
In this connection 1 want to say
that our Democratic friends have
much to say about the Republican
party enacting laws which prevent
the Introduction of capital into the
state and laws which operate to dis
courage, hamper and retard the de-
veIopment of the Industries and re-
sources OF the state. cannot help
smiling when I read these declara-'
lions. Will some one please tell me
what the Democrats ever did in the
State or Nation to encourage the In
PRODUCTION of capital or the develop
ment of the industries and resources
of the State and, Nation? II they
mean by these declarations that we
have been assessing the public SER
