Timber Values

According to the Montesano Vi
detto, the county commissioners,
treasurer and assessor held an in
formal conference last Thursday. to
discuss the matter Of fXinE a valua-
ton to be placed on the timber lands
Of the county for taxation purposes.
No decision seems to have been ar.
rived at, but. Assessor Jones is quot
ed in that paper as saving that the
rate would probably be placed at 6p
cents to 81 per thousand feet"
AS the assessor directed the valu-
alton of all other classes OF property
in the county to be placed at 30 per
cent Of actual value, the figures sug.
gested by the assessor will not prove
very acceptable to those whose hold
ings will be assessed at the latter
figure. 1t can not be argued that
timber, selling on the stump at from
$3.50 to $500 q thousand feet, will
bear its just proportion of the bur.
dens of government at the figures
named.
The timber OF the county has been
cruised, at enormous cost. for the eX.
press purpose of giving the assesso"
definite knowledge upon which to
base the valuation. and his office has
now more accurate information con
corning those lands than il has of
any other class Of property, and 9TH
er taxpayers will see TO it that no
favoritism is shown in its taxation
The Taxpayers League will take this
matter up if there is any disposition
to favor timber holders at the en-
pense of others, and take it into court
If found necessary.
