STATE COUNCIL
SENDS LETTERS
EXECUTIVE BODY ISSUES CiRCU
LAR STATEMENT OF ITS VIEWS
ON TAX QUESTION:.

County Auditor J. F. Stevens has
received a circular letter from the ex
ecutive council of the state, copies OF
which he has been asked to send out
to the different assessors of the
county.
In this letter the council attempts
to set out some Of the more import
ant parts of the laws of Iowa regard
ing the taxing and assessing OF GER
tain properties and holdings and Its
standing on the same. The letter ar,
rived too late to be taken up and dis
cussed at the recent school of instruc-
ton held by Mr. Stevens but he Is
mailing the copies out to the men OF
the townships who take the property
lists.
In the beginning of the letter it is
stated that the executive council has
thought it best to issue a circular let
ter of instruction and suggestions in
order to answer the many inquiries
that are received with reference to
the matter of the assessment OF
property.
The instance is then cited of the
questionings that have arisen over the
listing and valuations Of live stock
and whether the equal value OF live
stock made by the executive council
should prevail or become the basis OF
the assessment The letter states
that it can mot form the basis of the
assessment at all. The executive
council does not make assessments
except as to the railroad companies.
telegraph and telephone companies,
IL Commanded
and such public utilities. With the
assessment of the other property 1t
has nothing to do except as an equal
izing board. It, as such, merely ad-
justs the valuation of the property Of
the several counties, adding to or de-
Quoting from the values of each kind
or class of property, such per cent in
each case as will bring the same to
it's taxable value as fixed by law. The
taxable value means and is based upon
the actual fair and reasonable market
price of the property. What is sought
to secure was an equalization and
fairness in the adjustment of values as
between the counties so that the bur-
den of taxation would be as nearly as
could be an equal burden upon the
owners of the same classes of prop
erty. The letter states further that
while it is true that the work Of the
executive council as an equalization
board has not been entirely satisfac-
tory; yet it tried to do it's duty exact
ly in accordance with the provisions of
the law.
The letter which is quite lengthy
closes by saying that the council hopes
with the beginning of another year
that there will be a strict and cheer
full compliance with the law on the
part of the entire citizenship Of the
state in regard to the matter of as
sessment and equalization Of value.
