JORG[NSON DEFENDS
THE new SCHEDULE
Shows the Number of Classified
tions in Rural and City
Columns.

A copy of motion made at the
meeting OF the state convention OF
county commissioners was received
yesterday at the Office of State Audi.
tor Jorgenson. The motion is as fol
lows: motion was made that the
association go on record protesting
against the approval of the new as.
sessment schedule as gotten out by
the state board Of equalization. This
convention does not believe the sche.
dule is at all workable and does be-
lieye that there is not any board on
earth that could make a reasonable
equalization as the schedule now
stands. And the secretary be in
structed to send copy of this motion
to the state auditor Seconded and
carried.
Jorgenson's Statement.
Mr.. Jorgenson made the following
statement regarding the schedule and
the animus back of the motion which
is given above: He said:
"The resolution is nothing more or
less than the result of agitation start
ed by an individual who is supposed
to be tax authority and who is en-
ployed by the state for the purpose Of
correcting faulty assessments and
securing the assessment Of escaped
property.
II do not believe many of the couIi-
ty commissioners have seen the new
schedules. They we're led to believe
them cumbersome and unfair. So
far as the schedule being discrimin-
atory is concerned, would call your
attention to the fact that there are
only four new classificatiOns that
cover the assessment Of rural prop.
erty; there are 40 new classificltions
covering city and town property, and
10 new classificatiOns covering equal
ly city and rural property.
"The new schedule is simply a sub
division Of headings and calls for the
assessment of no property which was
not assessed before.
"The auditors meeting promises to
be well attended as many have sisni-
fled their intention of attending. A
of county commissioners will
also be in attendance"
