BRUHN & ZEHNPFENNIG

Mr.. Vessey, the insu'rgent can
dldate for governor, attempts to
defend the action of the state board
of equalization in raising the az
sess ment on farm lands, on the
grounds that it was done to equal
ize the assessments on uniform
basis of value. If this were the
purpose why was the assessment
not lowered in some counties to
offset the raise in Others? !? There
was in fact no lowering but vast
amount of raising. But it may be
claimed that it makes no difference
to the tax pager on what basis his
property is assessed only so that
all property is assessed on uni
form basis. This is true provided
the rate of tax levy is diminished
in proportion to the raise in az
sessment. This was not done by
the present administration. After
defending the increase in assess
ment on the plea that it was for
the purpose of equalization, Mr.
Vessey attempts to justify the
large tax levy by comparing it with
previous levies. This is unfair, for
the previous levies were made on a
lower assessment, and it is also
unfair from the fact that when the
previous levies were made the state
was paying off a bonded indebted
ness which was all paid before the
present administration came into
power. The simple facts are that
the appropriations for simple run
ming expenses of the state, for the
biennial period rade by the last
legislature we're larger than those
made by any previous legislature;
that the assessed valuation of prop
erty is higher than ever before;
that the rate of tax levy, exclusive
of the twine plant, is just as high,
and that if all taxes levied for the
period are collected there will still
be a deficiency Of something like
100000. It will take great deal
of smooth talk to explain these
simple facts and make it appear
that reasonable economy is being
practiced in our state manage ment.
