TAX COMMISSION AND
THE ASSESSOR CLASH

CITY Assessor Frank Williams
must be classed as a courageous man
for he braved the wrath OF the
State Tax Commission in making
his assessment Of Prescott prop
erty on a Is per cent valuation. IN
stead OF at full value. or lOO per
cent. as that last named body
thought and still thinks was the
proper way.
But Williams is not going TO
get away with it" if the Tax Com
mis- sion can help itself Bat before
taking any rash action the com
missioners have decided that legally
a. we'll as otherwise discretion Is
the better part of valor, and have
referred the questions involved 70
Attorney General George Purdy Bull
lard for an opinion On that opin-
ion hinges the action to be taken
or not to be taken. If the Attorney
General. whose vocation is pulling
off road and other kinds of auto
mobile races and whose avocation
Is steering the State officials and
innumerable commissions in legal
paths. decides that Prescott under Its
charter provisions has right 20
assess its own property IN any way
II sees tit. then there will be 81
lence like unto the tomb, but II per
chance he opines that the Tax Com
mission is the court OF last resort,
the final word as it were. then
there will be a loud and mighty roar
come from the Salt River valley. in
/ comparison with which the thunders
Of the ocean will be like whisper
And in such an event, the City As
SCISSOR had better beware for he
will be told where ito head in
and moreover is likely TO be brand
ed as a reactionary and have other
opprobrious epithets rained on hi'
official caput.
But some one has to be a martyr
to every good cause and in this
instance Assessor Williams is the
lamb to be offered up on the altar
perhaps. His attitude will bring
the matter 10 a focus and determine
once and for all the jurisdiction Of
the Tax Commission and incidental
ly the powers conferred on the City
| Assessor by the charter in the
matter OF assessing. Not only that
but a rule of action will be estab-
lished for other municipalities OF
the State.
1t Is not every man who by reason
Of the assertion of his rights car
get such an august body as the
Tax Commission on his back. Those
who know Williams best say ht
will never bulge from the stand he
has taken until given orders so tc
do by court of competent juris-
diction And then perhaps he may
stand pat and take the case d
step further, just out of curiosity
1t will be recalled that the City
Council and Assessor were honored
last week by visit from c. NJ
lander, the chairman of the Tax
| Commission.
What til" said the commission
er. but not just in that language
when he found that Prescott prop
erty was assessed at only Is pei
cent of its cash value.
The suave city dads regretted
very much that there had been any
Misunderstanding and intimated that
they would never, never do II
again"
