Icent nat increase, regardless of the
actual increase in value or deprecia-
tion OF the property.
Complaint IS made ia numerous
Instances OF property being placed
on the delinquent list. although
taxes had been paid. and 1t has been
necessary frequently to show can
celled checks to prove tax payments,
no record existing at the seriff's of
fee.
Gross inequality in assessments is
reported. one place will pay taxes
on twice the valuation Of nearby
property which would sell for more
money. A man who is reported so
mach cash on hand Is now assessed
for 40 per cent more cash than he
has-and so It goes. long story Of
alleged ineficiency and carelessness
az the courthouse.
This paper is in receipt of letters
from subscribers stating that in
some cases the assessors Office did
not stop at a 40 per cent increase Of
valuation, but in some cases has act
ually doubled on the certificate OF
assessment left the taxpayer
All these charges deserve investi-
CATION. There is but one way to
determine the truth. and that Is by
having the county books experted.
This will tell the story and either
exonerate officials, proving them
worthy of another term. or show de-
ficiencies such that they are totally
UNIT TO act as stewards for the peo-
pie. The officials themselves, If they
are unafraid OF consequences, will
ask this investigation.
For over 20 years county 'aftairs
have been allowed TO drag along
without an accounting. No expert
has todched the books. and the Lord
only knows what shape they are in
or what an investigation would dis
close. Who could run private
business along such lines and escape
wreckage on the reefs OF bank
ruptcy?
But every taxpayer knows that
taxes have climbed steadily upward.
He knows that he is paying more on
his property than ever before, and
that even then II may be on the de-
llnauent list. He knows these things
and klcks-yet does nothing Elec-
tion time is at hand-he should
wake up.
Common sense and ordinary bust
ness prudence demand that when Of
ficials are selected because OF their
good-fellowship rather than their
business capacity. there should be a
check upon their work--not neces-
sarlly to prevent rascality, hut TO
prevent careless and sllpshod meth
