Der counties similar lands are taxed

The object of the Taxpayers League

the assessors are getting ready to

Taxpayers League a Necessity

The necessity of an organized effort
for the proper equalizing of assessed
values for taxation in Chehalis coun.
ty Is apparent to all who have given
the subject any thought-and has not
been beneficiary of the methods of
the past AS pointed out in the last
number of the Herald, those benefic-
aries, although small in numbers, at
tend to tax matters as part of their
business, and the only remedy is for
the average property owners to get
together and make the subject a part
of their business.
In 1910, the state board of taxation
found that Chehalis county was as
sessed at ratio of assessed to &C.
tual value of 20.17 per cent. At the
meeting of the state board of equali-
cation that year, Assessor II. H. Car.
ter testified that he had not tried 70
assess the saw mills at more than 10
per cent of their value, and that
PAOPSAev 6CAOi ohy Ndo doSSSScQ dl
about 20 per cent, and if he had add
ed that the timber of the county was
assessed at as low if not lower valu-
alton than the mills, he would have
about hit the mark.
AS the result Of this valuation, the
state board levied 1888 mills on Che.
halls county for state purposes, where
as 20 counties of the state-whose
valuations were about 40 per cent
paid state levy of 211 mills. This
high levy for state taxes trebled the
state tax on all property in the coun.
ty, SO that the average taxpayer
who was not favored with 10 per
cent valuation-paid state taxation
on a so per cent valuation, while
the favored ones escaped with but a
valuation of 80 per cent.
Take the holdings of the average
citizen, say worth from $1,000 to S..
600, and he is usually found assess.
ed at a ratio of from 40 to so per
cent. An instance occurred in Alb.
erdeen recently where barber shop

tanned strict secrecy as to the con-
tents of the reports from the various
townships, in the expectation that
blue prints of the reports would yield
more than the cost of the cruise with
in the next two years, yet, as soon as
a few townships are cruised, the re-
ports are ordered turned over to the
assessor, who turns them over to the
timber holders, free of cost. 1t ap-
pears that the commissioners last
| September, made an order directing
the reports turned over to the assess
or as completed, but that they direct
ed the free information of their con-
tents is not of record, nor would such
an order be binding upon the assess
or, whose duties and responsibilities
are entirely Independent of the COM
missioners. However, the office of the
cruiser had no knowledge of that Sep
TENDER order, and the chief clerk fiat
ly contradicts the assertion of Depu-
ty Assessor Townsend, that difficult
ty was experienced in securing the
reports.
That the assessor and cruiser do
not work in harmony for an equitable
distribution of the burden of taxation
is lamentable, as is the fact that a
majority of the board of commission
ers are apparently not DESTROYS of
securing to the public the full meas
ure of benefit of the timber cruise.
Two members of the board, constitut-
ing majority, have for years oppos-
ed the cruising of the timber, one of
them coming to favor it at the last
elections, and the later actions OF the
board indicate that the interests Of
the timber barons, not the public,
were receiving the consideration Of
Davis in the matter.
But, barking back to the assessors
Office, Mr.. Jones says, in relation to
the four classifcations for timber on
the rolls, whereas there are sixteen
classifications on the cruisers reports,
that I'VE have margin in which we
have to put the other classifications. :"
The only margin on the pages Of The
rolls is under the heading, Remarks"
and is two inches long by one-half
inch wide, upon whic hit would re.
quire microscopic writing to embody
even half the classification, including
the number of feet.
1t may be one of the first tasks of
the Taxpayers League, to acquaint
the state tax board of this indefinite
| listing of tht timber in this county,

The Timber Cruise and the Assess
ment.

County Assessor Jones, in an inter
view printed on another page, says
the Herald was wrong in saying that
% township reports Of the timber
cruise were in his Office on Feb. 8.
when Mr.. Marshall was said to have
been copying them for the Weyer-
haueser Timber Co., and that at that
time his Office had but reports from
two townships. The Herald's infor-
nation was obtained from Chief
Cruiser McGillicuddy, who certainly
was in position to know how many
reports he turned in, and it is MOTTO
ed that, in the Aberdeen World, AS
SCISSOR Jones was quoted as saying
he had five or six township reports
at that time.
