TAX LAWS ARE
YET DEFECTIVE
Personal Property Has Large Advantage
Under New 40 Percent Basis
is Not Just
IS BASED ON 1911 TAX RATE
Personal Property Tax May Be Paid
at Once On Small Rate.

For all of the efforts made TO fix
up the taxation laws of the state of
Idaho, resulting in Governor
Hawley calling the legislature to-
gether in extra session last winter
to adept remedial legislation, there
seems to be a hole as big as a barn
door in the taxation problem yet,
at least for this year.
The legislature at the special
session passed an act whereby
valuations shall be extended upon
the rolls at full value but forty
percent of the full value shall be
the amount that the assessment
shall be based on. Last year, in
this city for instance under full
cash value Standpoint paid total
of II mills tax rate. The tax
leVies are not made for the county
until September and it is impossible
To- fix the total tax levies until that
time although the special school
tax of the district may be fixed in
the spring. The law provides that
when the field men make. their
assessments upon property all per
sonal property where the owner
owns no real estate shall pay its
taxes at once and the law states
that persons may" pay their per
sonal taxes when they are assessed
To them -
The result. should personal taxes
be paid before the new levies are
made, is pretty easy to figure out.
To give an example, suppose a
taxpayer has $1,000 worth of per
sonal property and he pays upon
last year n mills tax rate, Last
year he paid $27 taxes, This year
the law provides he shall be as
sessed at 40 percent of the cash
value, which on $1,000 would mean
$500. There being no tax rate
fixed at the time when the personal
tax is paid last years tax rate
would prevail, and thus the person
paying his personal property tax
would pay n mills on $500, OF
SlO.sO, instead of S27 as last year.
1t will mean, if personal property
taxes are all paid at time the
assessments are levied, the loss OF
thousands of dollars to the state,
and the placing of great burden
upon real estate holdings which
will have to make the deficiency
between what personal property
will pay and what it should pay
OF course after this year, if the
tax rate is fixed upon the forty
percent basis, the situation will not
occur Pend d 'Oreille Review.
