Must Assess Full Value

After a thorough Investigation of
the mode and manner Of assessing
property in the several counties of
the state, we found so great a differ
ence of valuation and assessment of
one county with another, We decided
to call the assessors together in con-
vention at Tallahassee Nov. goth and
21st.
There were present together in
convention forty out of the fifty as
SCISSORS, and three other counties
were represented by some member
of the board of county commission
ers or by the tax collector. leaving
only seven counties not represented.
We held a two days session, dis
cussing various questions Of taxa
ton. trying to get the assessors to
agree to assess property in COM
pliance with law at its true cash
value. This a majority declined TO
do, many stating that it had been a
custom for many years to assess
property at less than its true value.
some stating that they only assessed
il on a basis Of - per cent OF its
true value, while others assessed it
from that rate to full cash value, no
two counties having the same basis.
The tax commission advised them
that if they would all agree on a
basis of 30 per cent or more, they
would not for the year 1911 try to
enforce a true cash value assess
ment This they failed to do, and
now, in compliance with law and
our duties as state tax commission,
we notify every tax assessor that for
the year 1914 each one Of you must

ASSESSORS COULD
NOT AGREE


Tallahassee, Dec. If the order
Of the state tax commissioners is
carried out, Florida tax assessors
will assess property at its full cash

the joint conference committee. The house,
thankstto the vigorous work of the Audubon So
ciety and other organizations, framed this part
of the tariff bill expressly to project wild fowl
to check their wholesale destruction by market
huntersswhc sell the skins and feathers for mil
Iinery uses. In the senate an attempt was made
to eliminate this clause and Senator Reed Of Mis-
souri, delivered himself of speech in which he
said that the movement to protect the birds was
silly sentimentalism. According to report the
senate killed the plumage clause, but evidently
the vigorous efforts of the birdloyers have been
crowned with welldeseryed victory.
America is by far the largest consumer OF
bird-skins and feathers, buying hundreds OF
thousands of dollars worth abroad annually
This trade will now be stopped: 1t will mean
loss Of business to the mil1iners, but in the end
fashions will change to accommodate themselves
to changed conditions Meanwhile, the indis-
criminate and cruel slaughter of wild birds VIII
be greatly reduced. ...*+
