a person who owes debt on his farm
or his home. or on his farm imple-
ments or household goods or merchan-
disc is not permitted to deduct such
debt from the assessed value of the
property. There is perhaps as much
justification on the grounds of equity
of deducting debts from these classes
of property as from credits, but no
such deductions have ever been per-
mitted under the law. In the opinion
holding that debts cannot be deducted
from credits the supreme court says !:
Though this result leads to de-
parture of the long settled policy Of
the state to allow the deduction of
debts in taxation of this kind, that
policy was at it's inception of doubt
full merit, in that it extended to one
class of taxpayers a favor not granted
to others. It permitted the taxpayer
holding credits to deduct his debts
from the amount of his assessment,
and denied the right to any owner ,of
other property who was also in debt. I"
