5. More time for making the
assessment should be given the as

strict compliance with the law.
Equalization boards should be given
more time.
6. Boards of equalization should
be made responsible bodies, charged
with the definite duty and given
the full power of revising the as
sessments. Thev and not the
county court should be the court of
appeals on raises of valuation made
by them. Appeals from their action
should be to the circuit and not to
the county court.
7. Easy methods for getting
omitted property on the tax books
and for correcting assessments of
grossly undervalued property should
be provided. The same protection
should be afforded the public against
the taxdodger as is afforded the tax
payer against the generalization OF
his property. Severe penalties
should be provided of evasion Of

The Arkansas Tax Commission
created By the last Legislature filed
its first report with Gov. Donaghey

The commission makes the follow

l. All property should be taxed
at its true and full value and all
rates reduced substantially.
2. Instead of having three as
sessing and equalizlng agencies,
each virtually Independent of the
other, there should be but two, aud
they should be so constituted that

be required to assess and should be
paid for assessing real property and
should be held strictly accountable
for his work.
o. The assessors office is the
most important office in the county.
Such inducements should be offered
that will obtain for the office the
very best material in the county.
10. The work of assessing and
equalizing property should be done
by the assessor and the County
Board of equalization, but the tax
commission should have the power
to raise or reduce individual assess
mentj.
IL. The duty of assessing GER
tain property now assessed by the
assessor should be imposed upon
the tax commissioner.
-. Levying of the rates should
be postponed until the assessments
are completed and equahzed, and
before a school district votes a rate,
the value of the property in the dis
trict should be known; before a city
or county fixes its rate the value of
the property to which the rate is to
apply also should be known. In
stead of fixing the rate and then
making the assessment, the logical
thing to do is to make the assess
ment and then fix the rate:
Concluding, the report says:
The total assess value of the
property of the state in 1909 was
$374,945,775 In 1910 it will be a
few million dollars above 1909.
We estimate that, allowing for prop
ertY not assessed and for property
assessed and nominal value, the
state is not assessed above 80 per
cent. We believe we are in the
range of conservative estimate wpen
we say the full value of the proIer-
ty in the state subject to taxat ion
is Sl,250, 900, 900. With pr9er
assessing machinery, the assessni mt
the first year on the basis of bill
value ought to be Sl,000,0 200, 90.
With a total assessment in the site
of 81, 100, ,OO0,OOO, the rates indh-
ted below would yield the amolt
of revenue stated:
State general, $l,lO0, 900, 900 n
! s mill, $SSo,oOO; Confederate pei
sion, 81, 100000, 900 by mill
s77o, 900; state school, 500, 900, 90
by l mill, 81, 100, 900: capital tund
| 81, 100, 600, 900 by mills, 1920,
600; with a maximum district shoe
! rate Of 3 mills each, maximum roat
levy at | mill, the yield in revenue
would nowhere fall short of wha
is now being collected.

ill-fitting coat, appeared at the store
