BY the new State Board Of Tax Commits
sioners. and 1T is thought that Mr.. Schwab
will propose q large number Of them.
NJ Schwab briefly expressed his views
on taxation and assessment methods yes
terday i'm an interview with a Tribune re-
porter. He says one Of the best ways of
keeping the state from ever having to
rely further on d direct tax Is 10 enact a
law TO reduce personal taxation to d mere
fraction. He suggests that the proposed
tax be- at the rate of one-quarter OF one
cent. lie thinks such a low tax would
cause many persons who now swear of
their personal taxes and who 10 doubt
commit perjury in SO doing TO pay this
stipend of - cents on every Sl"" Of per
sonalty they possess.
"Since most men are inclined TO be
honest" AIr Schwab said. this tax
Eould result in the state collecting not
less than $1,000, 600. OF more.
DO YOU think the county equalization
method- are fiawless?" was asked.
.'Far from naWless.' vehemeuty eX-
claimed Mr. Schwab. "ln fact they
should be- radically changed and quickly,
too. Let me point out how the system
could de improved.
The trouble with our state system OF
taxation is not so much the theory under
lying 10 as the administration Of the law.
Consequently the state rs now urgently
called upon 10 improve its methods OF
assessments and collections, which in
most instances are sufficient TO carry out
nearly the letter and spirit Of the law
provided certain kind Of sinister iniiu-
ence on the part of some Of the county
lax officials could be checked.
"One very glazing thing that for some
reason or other has never been seriously
taken up 10y those who have given the
question Of taxation IN this state much
study is the unequal manner Of spreading
assessments. Especially is this true in
most rural counties.
'Tho assessors fight one another IN
|mad effort 90 keep down the assessment
figures iu their respective townships
and place. If possible, an extra burden Of
taxation on another town or city IN their
county II is well known that equaiiza-
ton Of tax burdens is made Ia that man
her in such counties.
IF the state Board Of Tax Commits
sioners finds that realty values In one
COUNTY are 30 per cent of the market
worth Of property and ask the assessors
responsible to correct their assessments
no attention is paid to such request.
what actuatcs such assessors; II IS
hther political considerations, influence of
Corporations or a fear that they may not
v elected again for office. And there IS
W law Of the state 10 compel such as
