ASSESSMENTS
 N0T EQUITABLE
SHAMEFUL INEQUALITIES SAID TO EXIST IN MANY OF fs
 THE COUNTIES.
LAW REQUIRES UNIFORMITY
In Many Counties the Assessments Range From to 100 Per Cent
 of the Actual Value.

Western Newspaper Unlon News Service
 Little Rock.-The Arkansas Tax Commission is keeping up it's fight for nore equitable assessments throughout the state. Letters have been address, ed to the Boards of Equalization Tn the various counties, concluding as follows:
 The responsibility of correcting the shameful conditions existing in many counties rests with the Boards CT Equalization of those counties. It is not necessary to name the counties. The board in each county knows how the property in it's county is assessed, and if majority of the board desires it can and will do it's duty"
 The Boards of Equalization will meet September 1, and may remain in session until October 2S, The com mission advises the boards at length of their duties and says, in part:
 "The Commission calls attention of the several Boards especially to the condition of the real estate assess ments and urges that each Board look into real estate assessments with view to correcting existing condi, tions. In a number of counties there is semblance of uniformity in the valuations. In many counties how. ever, the assessed valuations still range all the way from five per cent to one hundred per cent. As a rule the most valuable, the best improved lands, are assessed at a low valua- tion, while the poor lands are assess ed at a high valuation. Lands worth S100,00 an acre are in many instances assessed at s10.00 an acre, while lands worth not more than $500 an acre are assessed at $500 an acre. It is need less to say that such a condition is unfair, unjust and outrageous.
 Improvements add to the value of the land, and, under the law, must be considered in making the assessment. The Constitution does not exempt 1 from taxation any property except one or two classes specially named. | It provides that all property shall be taxed uniformly, The assessing or equalizing officer therefore who ex empts from taxation property not ex empted by the Constitution, or who assesses one class of property on an other CT different basis from that in which he assesses another class, dis regards the Cons -ution and incident ally violates his oath of office.
 Tn personal assessments special at l tention should be given to the assess ments of merchandise, manufacturing plants and moneys and credits The merchant and manufacturer should be assessed on the basis of the average stock of merchandise or manufactured | products, or materials in process oi l manufacture, as the case may be, car ried from June, 1913, 10 June 1914 See Secs. 6916 and 691S Kirby's Di
 gest. Credit should not be allowed for goods or materials or other things
 not paid for. The merchant or man ufacturer or other taxpayer about
 whose personal assessment there i, doubt should be asked to come before the Board and explain"

OUTLINES COMMISSION PLAN.
Governor-Eieet Carlson Suggests Way
to Handle All Labor Problems.

Governor-Eieet Carlson Suggests Way
to Handle All Labor Problems.
Denyer.-Goyernor- Carlson be
fore the United States industrial com
mission outlined the plan he has form.
ulated for settlement OF the present
strike situation and for the handling
of all other Industrial problems in
Colorado.
His plan follows long study on the
| subject and is =, intended to be the
strong feature Of his term as the
states chief executive
In brief it is plan to concentrate
into one department all matters per-
tanning to employers and employees
and work out scheme for perfect
cooperation of the state government
and the people.
The basis of the plan is the creation
Of commission of three, appointed by
the governor. These men in turn will
appoint deputies. skilled or efficient
in various lines. such as in the Labor
Department, now under the jurisdic-
tion of the secretary of state; oil in
spectors, coal mine inspectors and
minor officers of similar character.
The three commissioners referred
to are to be appointed by the governor
and are to be absolutely nonpartisan
SO far as concerns employers and en-
ployes and are to receive salaries, to
be fixed by the Legislature in the
measure creating the commission.
The scope of the commissioners
work is unlimited in the line of their
duties. The objects they are to attain
are: First, safety and sanitation for
employees, with the primary idea of the
prevention of accidents; second. work
mems compensation; third, mediation
and settlement of industrial strikes,
and. fourth, compulsory arbitration.
On the subject of safety and santa
ton Mr.. Carlson plans that the COM
missioners. in addition to the statu-
tory provisions, should have the power
of fixing rules OF reasonable safety and
sanitation; that first this subject
should be worked out by the advisory
committee, who. when they reached a
unanimous opinion on the rule or
rules. should report to the commits
sioners. who in turn should hold pub
lie hearings and if objections were
made the defense should be by the ad-
visory board.
The general object of this method is
to identify business and labor forces
with government. In other words. that
this by virtue of its working makes by
necessity mutual cooperation
through the agency of government.
"If compulsory arbitration should be
necessitated the presentation OF the
case plainly to the people adds their
support to any move that requires
compulsory action"

interested in solving these questions.

vice. It will be one of my chief aims
to carry through this plan. Many OF
