BOARD OF ASSESSORS PLAYS TO
THE "PLUTES"
A stiff rap rating the board of as
SCISSORS as a tool was handed out
by States Atty Hoyne. He claims
they are party to plot which will
tighten the taxes of the rich and load
them on the little fellow.
4 The personal property assessment
made public discloses a decrease of
$27, 100000 under last year." he de-
clared. For the first time in the
history of the county the total per-
sOnal property assessment has failed
to show an increase. In other years
the average increase has been about
2 per cent, while the quadTiennial
years, and this year, 1915, is a quad
Tiennial year, increases have run
from 8 to IL per cent over the former
year"
Why should the assessors want to
lower the personal property tax is a
question HOyne asks and then an
swers for himself. They want to load
all of the assessments this year on
real estate.
At the next popular election the
people will probably get chance to
vote on constitutional amendment
which will give the legislature the
right to classify personal property.
The big idea is that bonds and
stocks held by our millionaire friends
will, then be taxed at 10 or 10 per
cent of their value.
The assessors have boosted that
they intend to increase real estate
valuations in Cook county by $780,
100000. Just when the real estate
owners begin to howl under the bur-
den, they will be told that a vote for
the constitutional amendment will
bring in cash on personal property

claim they have wiped lot Of non
existant firms from the records and
the difference resulted. HOyne an
sweTs
''The reasons assigned by the. tax
ing officials for the decrease this
year are ridiculous. The capital stock
of over 5000 corporations in Cook
county should be assessed. The as
SCISSORS this year have assessed but
$500 of them. Approximately 10000
to $4,000 new assessments have been
placed upon the books. e
How then can a decrease be nor
maIy possible, bearing in mind all the
time that each of the taxing officials
has repeatedly admitted that there is
at least thirty times as much per-
sOnal property in Cook county as is
assessed? Why, also, has the assess
ment Of personal property of country
townships been increased and that of
Chicago been decreased?
Honest taxpayers of small or
moderate means have this year filed
personal property schedules with
the result that the number filed with
the board of assessors has increased
over 100 per cent.
The wealthy taXdOdgeT has cloaked
himself under the protection of a jul
diciaI decision to the effect that no
crime exists for a failure to file a tax
schedule, and has failed so to do.
The taxing officials instead of pen
aIzing taxdodgers have again per-
mitted their escape from payments Of
their just proportion of taxes by i'm
posing small assessments and wink
ing at evasiOns of the law"

rotary Bryan, in the third and con-
Guiding section of his statement on
.the causeless war" issued yester-
day, suggests mediation as "the way
out" AS preventive Of war Mr..
BRYAN proposes universal extension
of his investigation commission peace
treaty plan.
mediation" the former Secretary
of State says, ais the means, pro
vided by international agreement,
through which the belligerent ma
lions can be brought into conference;
time for investigation of all disputes
is the means by which future wars
can be averted, and the cultivation
of international friendship is the
means by which the desire for war
can be rooted out"
To assure permanent peace Mr
Bryan urges that his plan OF inves-
tigation treaties be adopted by the
warning nations.
ga treaty such as those which now
protect the peace of the United
States" he says, "would give a
years time for investigation and re-
port, and who doubts that a years
time would be sufficient to reach ar
amicable solution of almost every
difficulty? Does anyone suppose
that the present war would have
been begun if years time hac
been taken to investigate the dispute
