destroyers were originally built to

BOARD OF REVIEW CR|T|C|SES WORK
DONE BY ASSESSORS ON VALUATION

finds it hard to get the office a sec

can easily be elected again"
Affects Whole County.
Benjamin Price, another member of
the board, who first brought up the
assessor question, said assessing is the
fundamental Of all government bust
ness, city, state or county. The as
sesors themselves have many prob
lens to contend with. and even if they
are sincere in their efforts to be fair
with everyone, it is almost impossible
to do so.
For instance. the same man must
assess the machinery in the Rumely
factory who may assess the dry goods
in the knollenberg store, Mr.. Price
said
The tax rates depend largely on the
tax rates made by assessors and a lib
eral assessor in a township can make
his township rate much higher by as
sessing lower. A certain amount of
money is required to run the govern
mentS, make improvements and. pay
various expenses and the tax rate is
based on the amount OF property as

The Importance of the office of as
SCISSOR has impressed itself upon the
members of the board Of reveiw to
such an extent that part of the ses
sion this morning was spent in dis
cusSion of it's better execution.
The members believe some drastic
action is necessary to place this office
on higher plane Of efficiency. High
er pay, the removal of the office from
politics, and transformation into an
appointive office under one Of the
higher officials of the county, men
skilled in the branch of assessing for
which they are employed, are some
Of the changes suggested.
That the office is the most import
ant in the financial division Of city,
township, county and state govern
ments was the opinion expressed.
How Some Assessors Work.
Mr. Commons, of Centerville. said
that he had seen township assessors
loafing around the town grocery
stores and waiting for farmers to come
in to assess them. At one time, he
said wealthy farmer entered the
grocery store and was asked by the
assessor for a list of his property.
Among other things he gave in. were
six horses and said each of them was
over eighteen years cid. Mr., Com
mons said that all the horses were in
reality young and valuable.
Auditor Bowman, student of tax
alton problems, believes some steps
will be made to improve the office
when the new taxation laws are being
framed for a new constitution. Mr.
Bowman was unable to attend the
state conference this week, but will be
present at the big state meeting IN In
0ianapolis soon and also at the ma
tional taxation conference in Denver
in September.
Il have learned that the most eff
cient assessors remain in office only
one term Mr.. Bowman said, "A re
ally good assessor who does his duty
