Ex-Gov. Ammons Opposed
To the Repeal of
State Tax Commission

The bill initiated to abolish the tax
commission and turn its duties over
to the state board of equalization is
in direct conflict with the constitu-
tional amendment adopted BY the peo-
pie at the election two years ago this
fall. This amendment reads as fol.
lows:
Section Is. Article 10.-There shall
be a board OF equalization for the
state. consisting of the governor, state
auditor, state treasurer. secretary of
state and attorney general. The duty
of the said board of equalization shall
be to adjust. equalize. raise or lower
the valuation OF real and personal
property OF the several counties of the
state, and the valuation OF any item
or items of the various classes of
such property.
There shall be in e:.rt county of this
state county board of equalization,
consisting of the board of county
commissioners OF said county. The
duty OF the county board of equali-
zation shat be TO adjust, equalize.
raise or lower the valuation of real
and personal property within their y.
spective counties, subject to revision.
change and amendment by the state
board OF equalization. The state board
of equalization and the county board
OF equalization shall equalize to the
end that all taxable property in the
state shall be assessed at its full cash
value. and also perform such other
duties as may be prescribed by law:
provided, however. that the state
board of equalization shall have no
power OF original assessment.
There were two purposes in this
amendment. One was to compel the
equalization of values all over the
state on full cash basis. The other
was TO prevent the state board or
equalization from assessing part of
the property Of the state and then
ecualizIng between its own work and
that Of the county assessors. Under
the old system It had been very dlff-
cult to get equal valuation through.

Failed to Locate Main Body.
The Bassick mine after it had pass
ed into the hands of the company was
successfully worked for four or five
years and a large amount Of ore was
brought to the surface. To expedite
mining operations and get rich quick
the company sunk a three-compart-
ment shaft at considerable distance
from the original hoist expecting TO
cut the ore deposit by means of a tun'
mel from the bottom of old shaft Many
thousands of dollars were spent in
this enterprise, which proved a fail
ure. as they were unable to locate the
main body, although much expense
was incurred in an effort to do so
The stockho ders of the company
among themselves ana the property
became involved in almost intermin
able litigation in the courts. The
mine was shut down and its employees
dismissed from the company's service
This condition OF affairs lasted foI
years. in fact only sporadic attempts
have been made to work the mine
from that day to this. and they were
only partially successful. The prop
erty was as effectively sealed by the
decree of the courts during the peri
od of litigation as though the shaft
mad been filled up and its workings
destroyed

Many Counties Escaped Part Of State

There was constant friction, with
the ner result that many counties were
assessed on much lower basis than
other counties and were therefore able
to avoid paying some proportion OF
their state tax. The levy for state
purposes was necessarily based on the

, the lowest possible point.
Under the old reading of the con.
stitution and the decisions of the su.
preme court under it, separate items
in county assessments, no matter how
unjustly made. could not be corrected,
and the entire valuation of county
had to be raised or lowered in the
