by the increased assessments.
When there was about two hundred
million dollars worth of taxable prop
erty in the State on the tax books,
the levy was four mills, 1or something
like that Now the taxable property
on the tax books is around four hum
5dred million dollars and the tax
levy is s. mills or 8 mills. Yes, the
comp roller general has under the
flexible Law reduced it from 9 1-2
mills to 9 mills. as- ,l5yss.
We understand very well that the.
departments OF government have
been increased, and many new ap7
preparations have been made for va
ssrious things, and it takes more money
now than it did to do business for
the. State as well as the individual,
but if we judge by our own expert
tence the increase in the taxable val
ues does not mean reduction in the
levy, because it does, not mean a
reduction of expenditures, and the
levy must keep pace with the ex--
penses to raise the revenue.

ly on all property. Of course city
property should not, be assessed at
$3.50 the acre, when IT is easily
worth five times that amount, and
gold watches worth 500 should not
be returned at $40, and pianos at
$50 that cost $500 or 500; and SO
son, unless all other property in the
same community was assessed at the
same ratio OF value. 81 .S5t3s'

AS an illustration OF how even the

look at the matter Of tax reduction
when it is found that the tax assess

million dollars, or rather we should
say the tax value Of the property has

statement which induces the News

Wherein is the saving? The ex-

pie who own the property are going
to: have to pay the same amount Of

course, il it were not for the flexible
levy plan the s200, ,oOe would be coll

The point we are trying to make
is, that there is really no saving be-
cause the expendit remain as the
legislature appropriated, and the
chances are two to one when the leg
islature meets and the, members
find that additional. appropriations
can be made without increasing the
