Another Problem
 to Worry Over

When the mem bers of the Arizons tex commission directed all assessors to value proper'y for purposes of ta1- ation, at it's actual worth in cash, they unwittipgly raised knotty prob- lem involving the assessment of per- sonal property. A second letter ad- vising therssessors how to proceed was mailed out from Phoenix.
 Assessor J T BoLe of Msricopa county discovered that the order of the tax com mission was likely to work a great hardship ;on merchants and others who pay taxes on property other than real estate.
 The assessors are supposed to begin assessing personal property and stocks of goods next Monday. Whenever an assessments is made they are re- quired by law to collect the tax fgur- ed on the last years rate.
 But lsst year al property was val- ued at approximately fifty per cent of !, its real value. This yesr it is to be assessed at IG0 per cent of it's value, but it is expected that there will be . corresponding reduction in the rate.
 All personal property is supposed to he assessed and .he taxes collected by the third Monday in June. The rate of taxation for 1912 will not be fixed till the third Monday in July.
 If personal property is assessed at it's full valuation and then taxed ct last years rate, the burden on the owners will be exactly doubled.
 Ttis matter was presented to the tex commission by, Assessor Bone. They decided to have the sssessmens go forward in conformity with the law, but to permit the owners to give bonds for their taxes. paying their individual shares when the rate fer he year is fixed.
