their research work and accumulated
knowledge IN conditions in the state
can be used. H..
If this is done, the speaker conclud.;
ed, there can be placed upon the tax
rolls Of the state Utterly millions Of
a~ssessable property which is either
bearing no tax burden or else a burden
out Of all proportion to the capital
invested.
"In this statement, I do not con-
template any general raise in the
valuation Of property. There is much
to be said on both sides the much
mooted question Of taxation at full
value. Personally I have come to be-
lieve that a high value results in a
greater tax burden, but whether the
tax is levied, On the full value or some
portion of the full. all appraisements
should be made at actual value and
then the desired portion taxed. The
increase In valuation which@I have in
mind is not an increase on real prop
erty, livestock improvements. house
hold goods, etc., but an increase Of
the valuation Of those interests which
are powerful enough at the present
time to elude our clumsy and archaic
methods of taxation; and increased
valuation which would take the burden
from the poor man and place it up
on the rich man, the man best able
to bear it."

by the state board Of equalization is
so small that it is mot worth bother
ing with. - "~
The speaker urged the county
assessor. This official would pay his
own way. One field agent of the tax
commission has listed almost $4,-
100000 Of escaped property in five
months. This will yield a revenue
next year Of about $3.50, 600. The cost
Of this work has been about $1,000
and yet the added revenue would have
paid for all cost Of assessment. In
a year this n field agent will put
on from eight to ten millions Of prop
erty which will yield an income Of
$450,0 900 next year and a permanent
income of 100000. If one man could
do this, what would fifty county as
SCISSORS do?
The state board Of equalization is
made up Of busy men-they cannot
possibly find the time to do the work
necessary to a proper assessment Of
the public utilities which the law
makes it their duty to assess, much
less to equaliZe in an equitable man
