The S0inerS System.

When the proposal to establish lile
Somers system in Shreveport was
not considered fayOrably by tie ma
jority Of the Police Jury al its recent
session. this action is not, as some
OF the property owners have con-
sfrued it. a discredit Of the equallza-
lion of valuation. lands and realities,
for assessments. "
II has been demonstrated beyonC
dispute, by the publications IN tho
Caucasian during several months Of
last year. that equalization was I'M
perative. and TO that end much prog
ress has been attained. 1T is conced-
ed TO be no easy task to complete an
assessment Of equalization in year
and that such equalization may moi
be completed, if ever in years tt
come. but the departure from an an
tiGuated system is emerging and a
the present rate Of progress tht
equalization Of values will add prob
ably two or three millions to tn,
present assessments.
The purpose of this article is mol
TO dwell on the rejection OF tht
Somers system, over which some
owners of property in Shreveport
are gleeful, but to emphasize th'
fact that these oyer-elated, probabl.
.under-assessed would be we,
pleased to be let alone and are ap-
prehensive that the SOmers system
would find them out.
1t may be conceded that the Som
ers system is all that is claimed fol
il and thai it would operate as {
powerful aid to the assessor, but a.
already explained, the Police Jur,
did not feel justified in providing a
this time the means necessary to Sc
cure this system.
And it may be surmised that thu
assessor in the course of his assess
ments will not fail to equalize tht
assessment, as he has been doing
and the now over-elated, when re-
CURED to face the rule of equity
may have wry faces instead Of feat.
tres all radiant in smiles and filters
Equalization Of assessment is TIN
basis for honesty and fairness il
reaching every taxpayer.
