WORKING AFTER
 TRUE VALUATION
STATE TAX COMMISSION WILL INACCURATE PLAN TO DETER
 MINE LAND VALUES.
The Commission Will Use Their Findings as a Basis for Leeis-
 lative Recommendation.

Little Rock-The Arkansas state Tax Commission is sending out ts the several counties q flood of iu- quiries as to the actual value of the lands in those counties. The inquiry is 10 be conducted systematically and with the object of arriving, if possi- ble, at basis that will be reliable i'll any possible recommendations 10 the next legislature for the reduc io1 of the general tax rate.
 So far, the assessment of property throughout the state has been made on the basis of DO per cen, of the actual value of the property. both real and personal. All this time however, the tax commission has had in view the ultimate placing of the property valuations al loo Der cent. when it has been possible to deter mine what would be an equitable general tax rate under full valua- tion. The law requires property to he assessed al it's full value. and many have consistently contended that the assessment should be 90 | made and the tax rate reduced to conform the revenues to those de rived under the old system of per 1 centage assessment and high tax rate.
 One Of the principal troubles has | been arriving at the actual value af property. In it's plan about to De l launched, the commission will select | anywhere from dozen to 50 reliable land owners in each county in la state To these will be sent direct an Inquiry as to the value of land 5 in their localities. and no inquiries will be sent to any except men ill whose judgment the safest reliance can be placed.
 | From the information gathered i'll this way the commission expects to l get an approximate valuation of tho 1 lands of the state. These estimates will. of course. be supplemented by l figures already in the hands of the commissioners, and in some cases may be made even more accurate by data already secured. This valuation is not to be used by the commission l in connection with the assessment of property for taxation. The taxes to be gathered by the collectors next
 year will be on a 90 per cen, basis,
 as announced early in the year by the state tax gathering authorities. In-
 stead, it is to be used as basis to
 calculate possible reductions in the | present tax rate.
 Taking the approximate actual val
 nation of property in the state, the
 commissioners will figure out the proper rate on this full valuation for
 he purpose of meeting the eXpenses
 of the government, and will then
 probably recommend the reduction of
 the tax levy to the new rate.
 The commission is also working on
 T general scheme of recommendations
 to the next legislature affecting the | state revenue system.
