The Rate of Taxation

An entirely unwarranted import
ance is given in the popular discus
sion Of taxation to the rate of levy. It
is often discussed as if it were the
main factor in taxation, while as a
matter of fact, the important factor is
the amount of money to be raised for
public purposes in any taxing district.
A high rate, of course, is generally re-
garded with disfavor by investors.
One of the first questions asked by
an intending investor in lands or bust
ness enterprises is: What is the rate
of taxation? If it is high it discour-
ages him and he is very liable to re-
gard such community as an undesir-
able place for investment.
knowledge of the several steps TAX
en- in the process of raising public re-
venues, which prior articles have fully
explained, should show how erroneous
is this Importance given to the rate.
The rate is a mathematical convent
o4Co dlu A1cy Do ulSA VI INV ,W1ClOuC
really affecting the amount of taxes to
be paid, for if assessed values are
high the rate will be low, and vice
versa; if assessed values are low the
rate will necessarily be high. T..
The very first step taken is the fix
ing of the amount of money to be rails
ed, or that, rather than the rate, de-
termines whether the tax will be high
or low. ...
When the amount Of money to be
raised is determined the fixing of the
rate is simply matter Of mathema~
teal calculation. The assessed value
OF the property and the amount of re-
venue TO be raised are the important
features in the tax, the rate being
simply the factor used to compute the
proportion of the total tax that each
taxpayer should contribute.
Let us illustrate: Suppose a taxing
district having an assessed value OF
100000 desires to raise $4,000 for
public purposes by taxation. Clearly
a levy of 10 mills or one cent on each
dollar of assessed value would be ne
cessary to produce the required
amount of revenue Now suppose
the assessed value of the same pro
perty was increased to $2,000,00O,
then 5 mills or one-half of one cent
cent on each dollar would be sufficient
to produce the required $4,000. In
the first case, A s. property being as.
sessed at $1,000, he pays $1,000 in
taxes; in the second case, while his
assessed value has been doubled, the
rate has been cut in half, and he still
pays but $1,000 in taxes. The rate
thus becomes mere incident, and
not at all a matter Of first import
ance.
It is, however, Of great Importance
that assessed values of the same
classes of property be on uniform
