Iowa Law On Exemptions.

The revenue department Of the
state auditors office believes that the
tax commission, which has recently
reported its findings. should have
cleared up the state laws regarding
exemptions on property from taxa
ton. Every board of supervisors in
the state is violating the law by ex
empting the aged and the intirm from
paying taxes. The action Of the
board is illegal and in some cases the
unlawful authority usurped by the
board is used to curry political favor
The law provides that the assessor
must report exemptions and he is the
only authority. Cases are being taken
up in almost every session OF boards
Of supervisors in the state and taxes

supervisors should be given this pow,
