High Taxation


county have been attending the meet
ings Of the Board of Equalization OF
that county in body. From the
press dispatches, some of these seq.
sions must have been decidedly warm.
From reports that we are able to
get from different individuals who
held small tracts of timber, we do
not wonder at the alarm of the large
owners.
When a half section of timber land
is compelled to pay over 5000 in taxes
the man who owns it must either have
a good big bank roll or sell it pretty
soon.
A large portion of the timber of
both Chehalis and Pacific counties
cannot be cut for years. To pay such
tax as is now being levied in Che
halls county means blue ruin 70 the
timber holders. The policy is wrong
and simply because in times gone
by considerable amount of tim
Der has escaped taxation, is no sign
that you can now burden it beyond
a certain point.
Two wrongs will not make any
thing right and it seems to us from
what we can gather from the press
and individuals that that it what IS
being attempted in Chehalis county al
this time. There are several own.
ers of timber land in Chehalis coun-
ty who reside in Raymond. There
was a time when the claim was made
that taxation was less in Chehalis
county than Pacific. We feel con-
fident that our friends would be glad
to have their timber moved into Pa
cific county if it were possible for
them to do so.
High taxation is liable to be the
ruin of the Pacific Northwest unless
halt is called somewhere. The en-
ormous burdens that are being heaped
upon almost every community simply
mean higher taxation and anything
worse than we are are now getting
means strangulation to legitimate in
dustry.-Raymond Review.
When so many here in Chehalis
county mistake the meaning of the
attempt equalize the assessed value of
all property in the county for taxa
ton purposes, and believe it means
higher taxes, it is not surprising the
Raymond paper should fall into the
same error.
To begin with, it is Grass idiocy to
allege that any serious number of
people. are united for the purpose
of adding to their tax burdens. The
movement to equalize ALL property
values under the law, has for it's
object the lowering of that burden,
by having all pay alike, something
that has never been done in the his
tory of this county.
When this is accomplished, the ex-
travagance in public affairs that has
been permitted to run riot in Che
halls county, is apt to receive a
check, but so long as the largest prop
erty holders are permitted to escape
their just proportion their interest in
expenditures will remain dormant.
Not only this, but, every public Of
fetal or body that has investigated
our tax system condemns it, yet
those most deeply interested-if taxed
fairly-take no steps to change it.
The State Tax Commission, in three
biennial reports, has suggested
changes that would permit local op-
ton in counties in the matter of val
uations, without result.

ers may lower the county levy but

The Herald hastens to relieve the
mind of our nervous contemporary
The state tax commission pays small
attention to the values fixed by the
Chehalis county board of equalization
in fixing the amount of money this
county must pay toward the support
of the state. The board has frequent
ly made public it's opinion of the tax
ing authorities of Chehalis county
The fact is that the state board as.
certains for itself the ratio between
the actual and assessed value each
county has been assessed, and levies
the state tax accordingly. In this
connection we quote from the state
board, in commenting upon the PERM
cious practices of Chehalis county:
What does the county gain by this
low valuation? If this Board is able
to find out what the proportion OF
assessed to actual value really is, un.
der our system of equalization. SC
far as the payment of state tax is
concerned, 1t makes not particle of
difference. If the merchant, the home
owner, the mechanic and the farmer
desire to assist the mills and timber
interest in the payment of their taxes
this Board thinks they have a per
feet right to do SO, but they should
not expect aid along this line from
other counties, and we will use our
best endeavors to protect the other
counties against such a condition"
In the editorial under consideration
the Washingtonian cites the equaliza
ton board of Whatcom county, which
fund tho rolIc roouir;pu 1itt1o obo,ro,
but fails to note the fact that What.
com county is already above the
ratio established by the state board
while Chehalis falls far below the
forty per cent. Reference to page 81
of the report of proceedings of the
state board of equalization for 1911
it will be found the Chehalis coun
ty is credited with being assessed al
at 26.17 per cent of actual value
while Whatcom County is found listed
at 41.36 per cent, hence there is nc
valid comparison between those two
counties.
1t will also be noted that, in 1911
the state levy for Chehalis county
was 1888 mills, while that of Whatcom
county was but 2.15 mills.
Reference to the same report shows
that public service corporations in
Chehalis county were taxed al
the ratio of 26-17 per cent, while
those in Whatcom county were taxed
at Abs per cent, and we have it or
the authority of the state board that
Chehalis county lost over $4,000 in
cash that year by reason of the law
that requires those corporations to be
taxed upon the valuations placed in
each county by the county board.
Oh yes, brother, Chehalis is a lib
eral county, but to whom?

Value Of Walkinu,

Walking, If property and regularly
followed, would become not only re.
storer of health to many who at the
present tiI1e are on the road to dis
ease, but also source of pleasure. Let
the arms swing if You feel like it and
the limbs too. Open the nostlils and
fill the lungs. ana the movements will
send gentle electric vibration through
the entire body. the result of which is
The awakening of new life. Never take
y lazy gait, rs it soon makes one
tired ard produces languor. A little
perSpiration on the home stretch may
prove TO be blessing not only in car
rying efiete matter from the body. but
in bringing an Increased supply of OK
rgen into the blood and putting the
blush of health on the cheek. Perhaps
the best time TO walk is in the early
morning. The air is then the most
highly charged with the life giving
oxygen and the freeSt from dust and
smoke. which rise later in tho day. At
this time also the mind is liable to
be free from worry and anxiety, hence
in the best condition to drink In the
blessings of freshness for us on every
