HODGE BRO TIERS
AssEssaaENT OF KANSAS LANDS.

| ASSESSMENT OF KANSAS LANDS
A curious bit Of neglected eduea'
ton appears in the Kansas City and
Topeka papers which constantly re-
fer to the increased assessment Of
real estate this year as accounting
for some of the increase in taxes
over last year. Real estate Is moi
assessed in Kansas this year, the
taxation is on the same basis as t1at
Of last year. Land Is assessed bi-
ennially. Next year will be assess
ment again and the state tar, COM
mission says there will be revision
upward on farms. According to In
formation from Topeka land in Kan
sas will be assessed at its full value
next year Ia full 100 per cent. That
was the intention last year, but the
tax records show to the state tax
commission that 1t was assessed gem
orally at only about SO per cent Of It's
actual value and In some cases as
low as so per cent. When land Is as
sessed at its actual alue 1t ls esti-
mated that the total valuation in
Kansas win reach the enormous sum
Of three billion dollars. The fact that
valuations are higher. will not mean
that taxes are higher. either, for the
tax levles will be lower in proper
ton. .
Real estate men and others who
hold property in Kansas look upon
the change from low valuation and
high levy to . high valuation and q
low levy as very favorable, to the
state. Until the new law was passed
investors in the east first looked at
property, then wanted to know what
the tax levy was. Then they col
Iapsed and went back east They
didn't take time to learn that the
valuation was extremely low. The
law increased the total propery val
uation from half 4 billion to two
billion in one year, and the tax lew
les dropped in nrOportiOn. Where
the payers formerly paid s per cent
on law valuation they are now
paying ! per cent on high valua-
lion ana tps change appears to be
satisfactory.
