10 LEVY TAX ON FURNITURE Will Effect the House
 holds. WARNING IS ISSUED HERE One Means of Covering Up States
 Deficit. Montgomery County Is the First to Feel the New order, But the state win Levy Tax Throush-
 out Alabama.
 

The State and County tax authorities are going after the people who either do not give in their household furni-. ture at its full value. or who give 1t to the assessor at too low rate of valua- ton. Tax Commissioner w. H, Law. son of Montgomery yesterday issued . fair warning to the owners of house. hold furniture that unless they gave the Tax Assessor something like>a fair valuation of it., they would be cited to appear before the Board of Revenue. where the valuation would be fixed.
 A great many householders in Mont gomery County do not give In any household furniture at all for taxation. A great many others give in their household furniture at valuation that the tax officials believe is ridiculous.
 The people in other counties need not grin when they see this item about the investigation of tax values on household furniture and the raises that are going to be nade heres They are just making a start in Montgomery County and what is being. done here will be done in other parts of the State. :. Commission Lawson has been in con- sultation with the members of the State Tax Commission and they have gone over this very thing, The Montgomery County Commissioner Is being given the cooperation of the State officials and his work here will be the predicate for similar work In other Alabama counties.
 These oflcials have been studying khe tax situation very thoroughly. The State needs the money. There is no doubt but that the State is facing . large deficit in the Treasury and offi- cia1 announcement of this fact is ex- pected at any time. But deficit or no deficit, it is the law that taxes shall be paid on household furniture. And the tax authorities will say that the valuation on household furniture is lower in Alabama than on any other class of property.
