Ever since the foundation Of this

this city have been in need of a first

Tax Equalization.

The State Board may endeavor II
equalize the taxes, but If they
are not already nearly equal they
must fail. They can only raise OF
lower classes of property and
here are but three classes, viz;
Land, improvements and personal
property, or can but raise or lower
these values in whole counties. The
county Board hears few individual
cases, but as they cannot well
compare them with many others
and as individuals have no way
Of comparing with others it Is very
aard for them to get their values
adjusted. The place TO begin e.
qualizing Is in the community at
a public meeting where the great
est knowledge of the value exists.
If the deputy had to make tax
valuation maps and get sufficient
of copies printed, then hold
a public meeting where these values
could be discussed, very little |
would survive. 4his
plan is followed In few localities
n the east and works splendidly.
Then there are state tax boards who
zee to 1t that the same plans are
throughout the state and
Who check the work of assessors by
ending a stranger into his locality
yho inquiries of sales that are
lade, prices asked Of a small sec
ion, then compares It with the
figures and II the as
essor doesn't revise where very
reat difference exists the facts are
ublished showing the different
aluations.
Let's demand tax maps made pub /
c before the assessor may make
D his roll, also an advisory state
TX commission.

Would Divide Tax Payments.

While the discussion of taxes
and tax-sharks is going on it might
be well to suggest if the law was
changed so as to make half OF
the taxes payable in December and
the other half in June, it would be
much easier for the average per
son TO pay their taxes, and the
sharks would not have as easy pick
ng as they do now. 1t looks alb
surd to take the tax money from
the people all in one fell swoop
and then let it lay in the banks for
che better part of year. If
the payments were divided the
people could have the use of half
,heir money for six months long
err. and ii would still be in the pub
lic treasures as soon as needed.
Business Is almost paralyzed every
year at tax-paying time because the
surplus all goes into the public
ccfrers. Taxpaying should be
made easy and not a BURDEN
Weiser Signal.

questions and he holds advanced O.

Because OF this, he was selected by

Taxation Congress, and there he
met many noted economists OF the |
country and heard them discuss
the taxation questions in its
many phases. His article readed

ideas gathered while attending the
sessions on the congress
Some Principles of Taxation
A tax on that which is produced
or consumed, If laid equally, is add
ed to tho price and paid by the
last purchaser, the consumer. No
matter how hard you try to tax q
the owner OF personal property,
money, improvements, capital or !
consumption goods. you make him '
a collector OF taxes from the con- a
sumner a
A tax on land values cannot be G.
shifted to the consumer, but j
has the opposite effect by forcing p
the speoulator in idle lands out n
of business, thus throwing much I
more land on the market for use Sc
and lessening the price to the 70
user, (Which though not a consumer "
OF land wrresponds to the con Sc
sumner Of goods.) w
Taxing labor products makes IN
them dearer, thus lessening the tic
amount a laborer can buy for his as
wages and acts the same as Sc
cut in wages. A tax on land values or
by throwing more land onto the pu
market for use, opens up oppor- va
tunity TO produce, thus employing
the man out of a job and enabling Inc
the laborer TO ask and obtain more up
wages The power 10 tax is Ia,
