That Tax Decision

The State Supreme court, by vots
of 4 to 8 has sustained the contentioa

assessment Of any assessor In the
state and make its own assessment
or valuation.
Under this decision III 1t II allowed

county will be nearly doubled. To
give the lay reader an idea Of the
arbitrary and unjust valuations
foisted on us by . board Of theorista
and guessers sitting In the capitol
building at Denver, the First Ns-
tional bank of Meeker gave in "a
Assessor Hartke its 10000 capital
stock and 10000 surplus for taxable
purposes. This Is according to law.
Now comes along the state tax COM
mission and orders Assessor Hartke
to raise these figures about 4SO, ono, ia
other words, taxing the bank fol

The case will go to the United
States supreme court for final de-
cision, and in the meantime, the
wheels OF state and county govern
ment are clogged and taxpayers sre
