It's value and structures at 25 per cent. and added nearly $2,000,O0O of assessments to th2 rclls for the use of the streets by the railroads and others. The most noticeable result was to reduce the taxes paid of over 4,5O0 taxpayers, mostly home owners. The tax commissioner who did all this was reelected with the largest majority of any candidate running.
 In Beaumont, Tex. the assessment was reduced from what was sup posed to be 50 per cent Of value to actual 5O per cent, and yet the total was increased over Sl,700,OO0. The taxes of over 900 taxpayers, mostly home-owners. were reduced, while of the increase only 65 taxpayers had to pay upon over a million in- creased assessment. Incidentally the rate was reduced and the revenue of the city increased.
 In Galveston, Tex, the taxes of several home-owners were reduced. The assessment of the great wharf companie- was increased from S2,- 100000 to $6,000.000. and a general adjustment of inequalities was tes- tiied to by the officials at the con- cluJion of the work.
 In Augusta, Ga, the assessment was reduced from what was sup posed to be 80 per cent of true value to two thirds of true values, and yet there was an increase of nearly $3,000,000. which made it possible to reduce the rate or to in- crease the revenue, or both.
 Des Moines Somers Assessment.
 In Des Moines the Somers System was used only in the two business centers. The result was to decrease the building values slightly and to increase the land valCes by nearly S9,00U,00O. "The only mistake that was made" says Assessor Higgins, in his official report. "is that the system was not used in he whole city"
 The results vary with the different cities, but through it all can he seen that for the first time each of these cities found il possible because of the Somers System. 10 do that which 1T thought wise 10 do. and to know that it was actually ahle to do it.
 In only two cities that have used the Somers System. Cleveland and Columbus, has there teen an assess ment upon what was thought to te 100 per cent In every other city for local reasons it has been thought best to assess upon some percentage of full value This Is mentioned. not as a recommendation of policy. but to show that it is possitIe to fol- low any policy in this particular that may be thought wise and proper, ard still preserve equity. The Somers System does not compel a 100 per cent arrraisaI; 1t provides for an equitable appraisal, an ap- praisal that IS proportional in all it's parts and between each part and l tn, whole.

SATISFACTORY RESULTS OF USE SOMERS
 ASSESSMENT A CITIES

(This article, the fifth and final fate assessment, by Walter w. Pol lock of Cleveland, O., tells of the results of Somers System assess ments in a number of American cities.)
 The effect of the use of the Somers System in the actual assessment Of more than a dozen American cities has varied. In some the use of the system has made possible changes in the economic problems of taxa ton, and in others only the admins trative side of the tax question has been attempted. In all of the cities, however, there has developed gen. eral confidence in the integrity and fairness of the assessments that does not obtain in any other Amerl- can city.
 It is seen that in the very oper- ation of making an assessment under Somers system methods there must necessarily be square deal" something that no citizen has ever before believed existed so far as as- easements were concerned. No mat ter how honest an assessor might he in his desire to make a proper ssessment, under old methods the public always felt that something was wrong, if it were not dishonesty it was thought to be wofIl lack of ability and knowledge on the part of the assessor All of this is Gone away with when the Somers system is used, even though the same as sessor, as has often happened, is continued in office.
 Publicity Causes Approval.
 The chief cause of this feeling on the part of the public when the Sorners System has been used, is the publicity that attends every step in it's operation. The public discusses street values and con- tributes directly to the proper form ation of opinion of value on the part of the assessor. The opinion that he finally arrives at and uses for the assessment is set down on maps in public, and all may have access to these maps. They are usually printed in the newspapers, which has the effect of fixing them to such m extent that they can not be se- cretly changed for special reasons
 The method of figuring lot values a once appeals to the public. The citizens know that mathematics is very inpersonaI: that when computa- tion is substituted for guessing at mathematical rela tions of value. all are likely to be treated alike. They know enough about the method of computation to see that no lot value can bc wrong all by itself-if one is wrong several are wrong-and if several are wrong. that fact is more easily aScertained than if only one is wrong and tke owner of that one is burdened with the task of proving il
 Th" confidence of the public in the fairness and honesty of the assess
