County Assessor Rufus jackson re-
ports that tine recent meeting Of the
State Association Of County Assessors
held 10 Boonviile, February 20 and 81,
waz Of the most beneficial since the
inception 0. the organization. In ad-
dition to the benefits derived from a
general discussion Of the duties OF thi
important office, the Association al
addressed by Hon. II. N. Judson, Of
st. Louis, and Judge W. M. Williams,
Of Boonyille, each OF whom we're mem
bers OF the State Tax Commission OF
1905, and the latter a member Of the
commission OF 1908. Other addresses
were made by Hon. W. g. Pendleton,
mayor Of Boonville; Hon. W. r.
johnson, Prosecuting Attorney Of
Cooper County and President Of the
Boonville Commercial Club; Judge
Martin OF the Cooper County Circuit
Court and Col. Oosgrove, Of Boon
vile, each OF whom made instructive
and interesting talKS.
The Association, in a body, visited
the State Training School for Boys as
the guest Of Superintendent Clark and
after a thorough inspection OF the in
stitution, enjoyed a special entertain
ment given by the hoys In their honor.
The status Of the proposed con-
stitutional amendment separating the
sources Of State and local revenue was
thoroughly discussed and after much
deli Iteration the following resolution
was unanimously adopted:
We approve the pending conStitu-
tional amendment for the separation
Of the sources OF State and local rev.
enue and for home rule in taxation,
for the reason that thereby our system
Of taxation can be made effective and
new sources Of revenue developed,
such. as a mortgage recording tax, as
recommended by the State Tax Com
mission Of 1905 and advocated 10y f.
N. Judson, to relieve the burden Of
the producing masses Of the State.
The successful Incorporation Of this
system will require wise legislation,
and we urge the people of the State
to select the best representative men
for this important duty.
The action of the Association was
prompted by the futility Of the at
tempts OF the County Assessors and
the State Board of Equalization to Sc
cure uniformity In the payment OF
State taxes by the citizens Of the var
ious counties and by the ineficiency
Of the State general property tax as a
revenue producer.
The officers of the Association elect
ed for the ensuing year are as follows;
President, J. v. Davis, Pike County
Vice President, ]. A. Jacobsmeyer, st.
Louis County; ~Secretary,J. W. TippiD,
Green County; Treasurer, JET T.
Noel, Monroe County. Mr.. jackson
was made Chairman OF the Legislative
