SOME REASONS WHY PROPERTY
rs NOT ASSESSED AT FULL
3D. VALUE 32ND ARTICLE

AS shown in the two preceding
articles the law requiring that call
property shall be assessed at it's true
and full value in money! has never
been obeyed. Instead Of assessing at
true and full value it is the universal
custom to assess at from Is to so per
cent of true value. Instead of assessing
every article in a given class Of prop
erty at full value, or at given, uni
form percentage Of full value it is the
universal custom to assess every article
in certain classes Of property at fixed
sum regardless Of value; and instead of
assessing all property not exempt from
taxation it is the custom in many dis
tricts to willfully and systematically
omit a large amount Of personal prop
erty from the rolls. All of these
methods are, Of course, illegal and all
of them have been adopted in open and
direct violation Of perfectly clear and
uneQuivocal statutes requiring that all
property not exempt shall be listed
and assessed, and that all Of it shall be
assessed at true and full value.
For the willful failure to assess all
property subject to taxation, and for
the assessment of every article in a
given class at the same figures regard
less of value there is no possible ex-
cuse. Such methods, as we have shown,
are grossly unfair and work irrepar-
able injury to Individual taxpayers;
but for the assessment of property at
a certain uniform per cent Of full value,
instead Of at full value, great deal
can be said in justification. During the
=
state many laws have been passed
which are based upon the prevailing
custom Of assessing property at from
rs to 50 per cent Of true and full value
instead Of upon the statute requiring
that assessment be made at "true and
full value.''
First: The salaries of county audi
tors and their clerks; of county treas
Little Falls herald. [volume] (Little Falls, Morrison County, Minn.) 1889-1950, 1912-09-06

OF the institutions for which the tax Is
levied, and it can only be changed by
amending the law. The aggregate rate
Of all these so.called Especial taxes''
at present amounts to 2.5S mills on
each dollar Of assessed valuation, and
the total revenue derived from them
in 1911 was approximately $3,000,000.
If property in that year had been :s-
sessed at its true and full value as pro-
vided by law these taxes would have
been increased fully threefold, and
would probably have amounted to
more than $9,000,000.
In short, if the law requiring that
"all property shall be assessed at it's
true and full value'' was rigidly en-
forced it would inevitably result in .
large and needless increase in taxes; in
great and uncalled for increase in
salaries; most likely in a great in
crease in municipal Indebtedness, and
in a general and unwarranted democrat
ization Of our entire revenue system.
The next article will show the efforts
that have been made to correct these
evils.
Little Falls herald. [volume] (Little Falls, Morrison County, Minn.) 1889-1950, 1912-09-06

urers; and, in part, the salaries Of
judges Of probate, are fixed and de-
termined by the assessed valuation Of
the county, and if property was as
sessed at true and full value as requir-
ed by law the salary of everyone of
these officials would be increased to
an amount far in excess that intended
by the legislature.
Second: The Indebtedness which
counties, cities, villages and towns can
incur is definitely limited bv law.
Cities Of the first class being limited to
per cent of their assessed valuation.
and the other municipalities to 10 per
cent. If all property as assessed Eat
it's true and full value' it would be
possible for all these municipalities to
increase their indebtedness at least
threefold.
Third: The power Of counties, cities,
villages, towns and school districts to
raise money by taxation is definitely
limited by law to certain maximum
rates. For example, the highest rate
that can be imposed in any county for
general revenue purposes is one per
cent. The same thing is true at vary
ing rates for all the other municipali-
ties. It is plain, therefore, that the
amount Of money and municipality can
raise by taxation is limited by the
amount of it's assessment, and it is
equally plain that if property in any
municipality is assessed at "true and
full value'' it can raise three times as
much as it could if the assessment was
made at one-third of full value. The
rate Of taxation in many communities
has already reached the maximum and
if assessments we're made at a higher
per cent Of true value than the pre-
vailing custom taxes would undoubtedly
be much higher than they are at pres
emf.
Fourth: A very considerable part of
the revenue obtained by direct taxa
tion is derived from taxes levied for
certain specific purposes at rates which
are definitely fixed by law, such as the
"oue mill school taxi and the one
tenth Of mill tax for the "Soldiers ,
relief fund.- and the like. The rate
CT these taxes remains the same year
after year regardless of the taxable
valuation of the state or Of the needs

julius j. Reiter, ex-mayor Of

julius j. Reiter, ex-mayor Of
Rochester, the sturdy fighter, who is a
candidate for the democratic nomina-
ton for railroad commissioner, four
year term, would make a great COM
missioner. Julius has a backbone made
of steel, knows the needs Of the small
towns and the folks in the country. He
has been a merchant in Rochester for
many years. Mr.; Reiter has made a
study Of rate matters, and it is OF
record that on memorable occasion
when Chairman Mills got exasperated
at Refers testimony during hearing
and shook his fist in Refers face,
that the redoubtable German shook his
fist also, and told Mills and his col
eagues, in very strong language, that
the citizens of Rochester demanded to
be treated as courteously as j. J. Hill
and that they were ready to answer
questions, and did not desire the com
mission s aid to prevent questions be-
ing asked, as was done for Hill. That :
sample of julius Refers fearless
ness. He is needed on the railroad com
mission.

Of ending boss control, he is seeking to
make the new primary system useful
to his purpose. Whether the democrats

date is for them to decide, and shall
cheerfully accept their decision. But I
deny the right Of any man or faction

Gratis of this state whether this is not
an issue. that concerns the right Of the
people to regulate their affairs through
puplic servants of their own selection.
The principle Of direct popular NOM
nation is thus insidiously attacked.
Importance Of making these facts
known in view of other circumstances
affecting the state ticket. I have no
personal acquaintance with Mr.. French
or Mr.. Reiter, the opposing candidates
for the four-year term as railroad COM
missioner. I believe them both to- be
capable and worthy; but Mr.. Reiter
has especial qualifications in his geo.
graphical location, his personal
acquaintance and his public re-
cord. T have heard no reason of
public interest why he should be op-
posed, yet I understand that on the
last day for fling, the men who asked
me to Withdraw brought out candi-
date against Mr.. Reiter, although there
is reason to believe that Mr.. French
was reluctant to enter the contest. I
am told that other late filings for
nomination on the state ticket, made
in opposition to candidates already in
the field, have the hallmark Of the
same reputed boss. If this is true, the
democrats Of Minnesota ought to know
the facts, and feel bound to state what
I know.
