NOT TO AFFECT THE LEVY
Declares that Assessment of Property
in the State is Based on Figures Col
lected by The Tax Commission During
Long Period of Investigation.

All increase in the valuation Of the
property of the state has nothing to
do with the increase in taxes. This
fact is pointed out in an interview by
Nils P. Haugen, chairman of the state
tax commission Tuesday, following the
publication of reports that an in
crease in valuation signifed an increase
in taxes. incidentally Mr.. Haugen
shows that the commission has discov-
cred new properties during the past
year that are to be subjected to taxa
ton.
In the state assessment of 1913 the
commission did not deviate from the
methods pursued by it heretofore. i
said Mr.. Haugen, "nor are the results
such as to justify any charge of an
attempt of the commission to unduly
swell values. The increase in the as
sessments of all property above the as
sessment of the prior year is about 5.
per cent. The entire assessment falls
slightly below $3,ooo,o0O,oOo while in
1912 it was $2,S41,oOo,0OO in round
numbers. The increase in the assess
ment of real estate in 1913 above the
assessment of 1914 is about ST., while
the increase in the value of personal
property was less than per cent.

Income Tax Exemption.

In the state assessments of 1912
the tax commission was unable to as
certain with any degree of certainty
the value of property exempted from
taxation under the income tax law,
such as farm machinery, implements,
tools, household goods and furnishings
and other classes of that character. 1t
fixed valuation of that class of prop
erty together with steam vessels in its
assessment of 1912 at $22,600,000. It
was found, however, when the returns
of the local assessors were received
that this was much less than the prop
erty placed on the roll by the local
assessors. A revision of the figures for
that reason resulted in large advance
in 1913, the assessment being fixed at
$50, 100000.
1t should be borne in mind that the
state tax cannot in any manner depend
upon the valuation placed upon prop
erty by the tax commission There is
no limitation whatever upon the rate
of taxation for state purposes; and
whether the valuation of the state be
placed at three billion or one billion
does not in any manner affect the
amount of taxes that can be raised for
state purposes, except that in the lat
ter case the state tax rate would be
three times higher than in the former.

Numerous Variations.

"Those who take the pains TO study
the different classifcations of person
al property will find number of varia-
tions from the assessment of the year
before. Horses and mules show a ma
terial increase while neat cattle show
a decrease. Sheep and lambs and swine
show decrease; so do wagons, car
riages and sleighs. Bank stock shows
an increase of over $5,000,000 Auto
mobiles show an increase of over &c.
OCG,000, owing largely to the fact that
a much larger number of automobiles
was assessed in the state than ever be-
fore. Water and light companies show
q material decrease for the reason that
several public utilities have gone into
the hands of corporations that also
operate street railway companies and
are thus assessed directly by the tax
the tax being distributed
to the different localities in which the
companies operate.
"The greatest change in the assess
ment is in merchants and manufac-
turers stock, where the valuation was
reduced from 100000 to 1872, 0OO,-
600. This arises from the fact that
since the income tax law took effect
and was placed in the hands of the tax
commission and the local assessors of
incomes, the commission has been en-
abled to use the inventories with much
more accuracy than estimates hereto
fore made of this class of property,
which has been very poorly assessed To-
cally. The same is true of logs and
timber, although in that particular
item there is decrease owing to nat
ural conditions and the exhaustion of
the timber.

REVOCATION OF EBBITT
LIQUOR LICENSE URGED
Recommendation in Report of Com
mittee that Investigated Foot
ball "0rgies."
TO BE MADE AFTER RECESS

The revocation of the Ebbitt House
liquor license is recommended in the
report which the special subcommit-
tee of the House District Committee,
appointed to investigate alleged viola
tions of the excise Law following the
Virginia Georgetown football game.
will present to the full committee
after the recess of Congress.
This is the principal recommended
tion OF the report. Congress is asked
to instruct the excise board to carry
it into effect. As the investigation
did not extend to the conduct of other
barrOoms and cafes on that night, the
report is confined to the Ebbitt.
Representative Caraway, of Arkansas,
chairman of the subcommittee, wrote the
report several days ago. Since that time
he has been securing the signatures of
as many of the committee as possible, in
the hope that he would be able to pre-
sent a unanimous report to the commit
tee 1t is understood that one member
OF the subcommittee refuses to sign the
report.
The findings of fact offered in the re-
port are said to contain a lurid picture
of the "orgies" that followed the Vir-
ginia ia-Georgetown game, though 1t would
be hard to find, even by careful sitting
of the mass of testimony-much OF 1t was
of questionable value-anything to furnish
grounds for the findings ascribed to the
committee.
