COMMISSIONER ROGERS REPLY
TO REPRESENTATIVE FORT

Editor Star: ! am a little amused
and surprised at ex-County Commits
sioner Fort dealing out the law to
Tax Assessor Aver how and when to
assess the taxes. was more sur
prised at Mr.. Fort making assertions
that are not the facts in saying the
present board is exercising the func-
tions of the tax assessor at a time
when the tax roll is already made up.
This is not true, as the tax assessor
has not made up the tax roll for the
present year, but is cooperating with
the board and doing all in his power
to get-the property of the tax dodgers
on the tax book by justice to all, and
the board will not assess any taxes
that the tax assessor does not put on
the tax books. The present board
does not intend to make Marion coun-
ty pay one dollar more than her pro-
portionate part of the state taxes, but
we want US to pay our part. That
dodger or a good thing to play to the
gallery, but it does not do justice to
the man who honestly and faithfully
gives in his tax assessment.
1t is not the object of the board to
get more money. but to honestly and
faithfully equalize the assessments of
the county and reduce the millage if
possible, so that the tax dodger can
help to bear the burdens.
Equal justice to all and special fav-
ors to none will be the motto of the
assessor and the board, therefore we
ask all to make their returns, which
will be great help to US.
Very respectfully, o. II. Rogers.
