The same standard Is to be pur-
sued in taxing all classes of property,
such as bank shares, textile indus
tries. oil mills, cotton mills, rail-
roads, horses and mules, and other
property throughout the State, to the
end that each tax payer shall pay
taxes upon the same proportionate
part of the real value of the property
owned by him as is paid by every
other tax payer in the State. This is
required by the constitution. For
this reason it is necessary that the
taxpayer make true returns of the
market values; that they be verified
by the township or other local boards
Of assessors and that the same per-
centage-nainely, SO per cent-of all
such market values shall be taken as
the basis for assessment Of all classes
Of property.
The taxpayer, when he makes his
return, is required to swear to what
he honestly believes is the market
value of his property, and the oath
must be administered to the tax
payer by County Auditor or other Of
ftcer authorized to administer an
oath; and this information is to be
used by the County Boards when
they undertake to ascertain the mar
ket value, and to take SO per cent
thereof as the taxable value. New
returns must be made In 1918. A
mere reference to former returns will
not be allowed. In case Of personal
property not listed or returned in
1913, the penalties by law will at
,tach.
IT the adoption OF this common
standard results, as 1t probably will,
IN an Increase of the aggregate as
sessed value of property throughout
the State, the danger Of excessive
taxation will be avoided by the action
Of the General Assembly in authoriz-
Ing reduction Of whatever levy may
be fixed by 1t to such a rate as will
only raise the amount of appropria-
tions made and authorized by law.
The levying of taxes is entirely with
in the control Of the Legislature. The
assessment OF taxes Is entrusted to
the County Auditors, Boards of AS
SCISSORS, Boards Of Equalization, the
Tax Commission and the Tax Board
OF Review. If the tax officers fail
to do their duty injustice must fol-
