 John C.. Potts and J. s. Withers. Ike Bartholomew clerk and Frank L. Hunt, Assessor. have returned from Phoenix, where they attended the meeting of the State Tax Com mi ssion and the various assessors and boards of supervisors of the state. The meeting resulted in fairer eff tax values throughout . the state and will surely result in . much good. No matter what may be . personally thought of the Tax Con- mission It is our belief that they are honestly working out a method of tax. ing property that will result in good . While railroads and mines appear to be getting the worst of the deal other forms of property are being brought up to respectable speaking distance
