New Ulm review., 1912-10-02

The State Tax Commission 10 the
Court of last resort when it comes to
tho matter OF Determining tho assessed
valuation OF tho real and personal
property OF tho State. They have .
right 70 raise tho sssessment - re-
turned II IN their opinion the facts
warrant doing 90. Recently, acting
on the data before them, they raised
tho assessed valuation of the real
estate of New Ulm Is per cent The
only persons who felt called upon to
combat this action of the cOmmission
wore County Auditor Vogel and Chair
man Polkow who appeared before the
State Board to prevent tho intended
raise. 1t occurs to us that the City
itself should take an interest In the
matter of the assessment of the prop
erty of the city for taxation and pre-
vent any unjust determinations. Our
citizens ought to be willing and We BE-
lieve are willing to pay their just share
of the taxes, but We should not stand
idly by when our assessed valuation is
s,njustly raised. This Is matter that
should receive the attention either OF
the City Council or the Commercial
Club and steps taken to see that We are
fully protected at oil times. ....
New Ulm review., 1912-10-02

1st. The usual compensation by
law allowed an assessor, $500 per day
is altogether inadquate. Out of this
meager stipend he is required to pay
his travelling and other expenses.
This practically leaves him without
any or at best, very small COM
pensation for his time and services.
1t compels him to rush" his work,
and to do it in the easiest and quick
est way possible. Yet the assessor
is the most important local official
who has anything to do with our tax
ing system. He should be man of
sound judgment, familiar with the
character and value of the various
kinds of property he is to assess.
He should not be dependent for his
Office upon the votes of those whose
property he is to value. He should
have the moral courage to resist all
importantly and avoid all prejudice.
He should be free from all PARTISAN
ship, favoritism, and vindictiveness.
In short, he should be the broadcast
minded, fairest and best man in the
district. The services of such men
cannot be secured for the unalluring
compensation of $500 per day, less
expenses.
2nd. Even where the assessor is
competent and honest, and there are
many such, he is confronted with en-
barrassing circumstances which mill
tate against good assessment. His
thankless duty is to pry into the
affairs of his friends and neighbors;
to force them to list all their proper
ty, and to see that it is fairly valued.
During the assessment season 'his
hand is against every man, and every
mans hand Is against him"
New Ulm review., 1912-10-02

3rd. AS a general rule assessors
are timid and conservative; they are
conservative because they are timid.
Instead of making new and thorough
valuation each year they are prone
to adopt and copy the valuations of
the preceding year. 1t is much easier
to remain stagnant than it is to pro-
gress. Generally the assessor con.
siders his work we'll done if his as
sessment is "about the same as last
year"
4th. The same conservatism con-
trolls his method of assessing prop
erty, particularly personally. A list
ing blank is given to the taxpayer to
be by him filled out and returned to
the assessor. The law contemplates
that the owner shall list the different
articles of property owned by him, and
that the assessor shall determine it's
value. The owner merely furnishes
the inventory, and the assessor fixes
the valuation. But during all of the
"a years of our statehood it has be-
come the usual and almost universal
custom for the owner of taxable per-
sonal property not only to furnish an
inventory of such property, but to
also fix the assessed value thereof.
and this valuation the assessor accepts
and copies into his books. The effect
of this is that each taxpayer practi-
cally makes his own assessment; in
other words. determines for himself
the amount he will contribute to the
support of the government under
which he lives. e
Such are some of the many defects
which our half century's experience.
has shown to be inherent in our local
assessorship system. So fragrant and
