TAXATION IN MINNESOTA
THE FOLLOWING IS ONE OF SERIES OF ARTICLES PUBLISHED
BY REQUEST OF THE MINNESOTA TAX COMMISSION
CRITICISM OR SUGGESTION IS CORDIALLY INVITED
CThrty-eighth Article)
Objection to the County Assessor Bill

There are several objections urged
against the county assessor bill
which deserve careful considera-
ton. One is that the town assessor
being resident of the town is pre-
sumably familiar with the taxable
property therein and therefore
could assess it better than a non
resident. This objection, however,
is overcome by the fact that the
proposed county assessor is requir-
ed by law to devote all of his time
the year round to the duties of his
Office, and to acquiring the same
information not only in that town
but in all the towns of the county
This will enable him, by comparing
one town with the others, to make
the county assessment more even
and uniform so that in short time
he would become more familiar
with the property in each town
than the local assessor could pos
sibly be. Giving to this objection
all the force claimed for it, the fact
remains that the county assessor
will be much better equipped for
the valuation of the property in
each town than the local assessor
can be, while the influences and
conditions which inevitably embar-
rass the local assessor, warp his
Judgment, and lead to favoritism
and unfairness cannot to any APP
preciable extent affect the county
assessor. Moreover, the county
assessor will be under the supervis-
ion of the state tax commission, a
body having the power to correct
his errors, and in case of willful
misfeasance to remove him from
Office with the consento of the governor
of the state and after fair hearing.
Such supervision will strengthen
him in the performance of his
duties, and he will be more indie
pendent of local influences and in
better position to make fair and
uniform assessment.
Another objection to the propos-
ed bill is that it interferes with the
principle of home rule in the town.
Whatever merit there may be in
this objection loses its force by the
fact that under the proposed bill
the town board of review will re-
main substantially unchanged in
its powers and duties. While in
many cases these boards of review
have been of little efficiently in the
past they still remain with full
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1912-10-18

party, he would have to if he want
ed to acco mplish anything, and he
would probably vote just as Con-
gresham Miller did though we
may misjudge him.
His demand that Congressman
Miller declare between President
Taft and Col. Roosevelt and
Governor Eberhardt and Mr.. Collins
was merely a political dodge fair
enough in politics but not of
character to injure Mr.. Miller in
the eyes of thinking men. Mr..
Miller's position is one thing and
the presidency and govenorship are
others. We might support a man
for congress because of his fitness
for that position but if he should
come around and try to dictate to
us whom we should support for
president or governor we might still
support him for congress but on
the other proposition we would be
liable to tell him to go to the ID.
What we want in congressman is
good honest man for the position.
We don't give tinker s darn what
he thinks of Col. Roosevelt. We've
got our own opinion on that, and
Congressman Miller can't change
it if he would.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1912-10-18

authority to review and correct the
assessment for the town as returned
by the county assessor and protect
the taxpayers of the town from any
unfair assessment, thus preserving
intact the home rule principle. 1t
is also believed that the existence
of county assessor will act as a
stimulant to these boards to do their
work with greater care and
thoroughness.
Another objection to the bill is
that it creates a new Office and will
result in increased expense to the
county. 1t is true that it creates
some sc new offices, and also that
it abolishes some $500 of existing
offices. Whether it will result in
increased expense to the counties
is problematical. In some counties
it may do so, and in others it may
not. In any event the increase, if
it results at all, will not be very
large. If the town assessors were
being paid a fair compensation at
the present time it is believed that
the county assessor would not cost
any more than the local assessors
would cost.
At all events the benefits which
would result from fairer and more
uniform assessment would outweigh
the increased cost thereof, if such
there should be.
In order that taxation may be
fair as between the individual tax
payers of the state it is essential
that the assessments of their prop
erty should be relatively equal. If
the assessments are unfair, the
taxes based upon such assessments
are inevitably unequal. You can
not erect substantial and perman-
ent superstructure upon a wobbly'
foundation.
While it is not claimed that the
county assessorship system would
in all cases produce an absolutely
perfect assessment, it is believed
that it would greatly tend to that
desirable result. 1t certainly is an
attempt to better present condit-
ions, and while in this state it may
be something of an experiment,
we must remember that all progress
must in the beginning be expert
menta1-that no one can move for
ward if he doggedly insists upon
remaining immovable.

enjoyed by the hotel among the
range people and others. The new
manager took charge on October
1st and already the house is feeling
the touches of the master hand in
its conduction.
The St. Louis has always been
the headquarters in Duluth for the
range people and Mr.. Lewis, is
known to everyone ever having &C.
casion to come in contact with the
house or the genial clerk who for
years attended the guests in the
most efficient manner. He will
make many changes in the hotel
tending to make it a home for all
who enjoy its entertainment wheth-
er for day or year. Among the
improvements, we understand, he
will again inaugurate the American
plan dining service maintained
there up to about year ago.
We bespeak for him the best
wishes Of the travelling public and
will say that Tilton E.'Lewis is the
proper man at the head of this
popular hotel.

CONGRESSMAN Clarence B. Mil
ler's popularity seems to be in con-
slant increase. He had no op-
ponent on the republican ballot.
and that the different factions with
in his own party were united, is
demonstrated by the number of
votes he received at the primary
election. From the not yet Of
ficially confirmed figures available,
it is shown that Mr.. Miller receiv-
ed 1851 votes, while his opponent
candidate on the democratic ticket,
John Jenswold, received only 2163
votes. This is, no doubt, an
evidence that Mr.. Miller this time
will receive the largest vote he ever
received, although he always re-
ceived handsome figures Duluth
