October shows a material increase at

in fires from unknown causes, which
went from $500. in September to

Possibly it is not generally known
that the political code makes strict
provisions for the duties Of assessors
In listing property for assessment and
taxation, and that il the practice were
actually what the code provides, there
would be nothing eliminated from the
list. Section 2072 provides that the
assessor shall administer an oath to
each person he assesses. and that ii
he does not he is subject to a fine Of
$50. This oath is verbal and under it
the person relates his property to be
listed. Section 2071 provides that for
failure to answer all questions be fined
not more than $500 or less than $40
or imprisonment.
Section 2O7O provides that for fail
ure to take the oath, or list the prop
erty the assessor shall proceed to
make enumeration Of it himself, and
for this purpose he may examine any
witness he may wish to. The refusal
column following his name. Then the
county auditor shall add to the asses.
SCISSORS valuation SO per cen OF the
value SO returned. Section 2075 pro.
vides that il any assessor or board OF
review knows Of any other person not
t%ruthfully or fully listing property as
the law provides. that he may cause
the proper listing to be made and that
he shall receive compensation of so
per cent of the additional penalty to
be paid at such times as the tax is
collected on the assessment. The full
procedure OF the statutes. as they ex-
list, makes it impossible for any one to
escape listing property, and makes it
a matter of interest to assessors to
see hat it is done in full.
