ASSESSMENT
EQUALIZATION.

L
evening May %:
THE statement of the State
Board of Equalization, published
IN yesterdays Banner, was clear.
concise and convincing. Respond
ing to an urgent demand from
every part of the State for an as
sessment of the property of the
property of the State for the pur-
poses of taxation, to- be made on
the basis of actual cash value and
to be made in conformity with the
constitutional requirement for uni
formity, the Legislature imposed
the duty of making such an as
sessment on the Railroad Commits
sion by making it the State Board
of Equalization and charging it
with the various duties prescribed
in Senate Bill No. II.
"When the Legislature took
this action it made no mistake in
the selection of the most efficient
existing instrumentality in the
State, because the railroad COM
mission has for years been Demon
strating its knowledge of the busi-
ness of assessing property. For
years it's work has stood out above
criticism and it must be admitted
that a statement such as it has
just made about the assessment of
other property than railroads
should be accepted at its face
value.
"The manner in which the board
has gone about the work shows
that it is not lacking in force and
aggressiveness and gives evidence
Of its knowledge Of how to deal
with the vexing problem of taxa
tion. It was a wise decision of
the board not to attempt to cure
the evils of the assessment of 1919
by raising wards, districts and
counties horizontally. The only
way that a percentage rule could
apply without working still great
or injustice would be to first re-
move the inequalities and make
the assessments uniform by wards,
districts and counties and TO do
this for equalization on any basis
would require practical remark
ing of the entire assessment. The
time allowed by the Legislature
was not sufficient to make such an
assessment for 1919 and that as
sessment for 1919 and that assess
ment on real estate having been
made in 1918, there were many
reasons besides those assigned by
the board why, under the circum-
stances, it were better to let it.
stand subject only to changes
where improvements have been
made. Unless the work of the 1919
assessment could be thoroughly
done. it was better not to do 1t all,
because any hallway measures that
would correct some evils and per-
haps aggravate others would have
preiudiced the public against the
whole movement and might work
;rreparable injury to the cause of
tax reform.
"Better make an assessment on
right principles and sound lines
that will need no defense than to
have a hastily constructedand half
baked assessment that would be
;ndefensible. !.
"The board has cendidly stated
its ideas about how the assessment
FOR 1920 should be made and has
anpealed to the public for cooper
etion and assistance In this import

board in the effort to make cor

the shrinkage in the acreage of the
State and in the listing of personal
property for taxation, it is reason
able to suppose that the board in it's

contemplates uncovering hidden

extent; it also contemplates equal.
izing, upon the basis of actual cash
value, the assessments of bankers
and merchants, as we'll as equaliz-
ing the assessment on real estate.
"The principle of equal and exact
justice to all and exclusive privi-
leges to none is sound in it's appli-
cation to the matter of assessments,
and the Banner subscribes to the
proposition that it be applied in
Tennessee"
There will be no equalization of
tax assessments for the year of 49,
IS, according to a statement issued
yesterday by the State Board of
Equalization. The board states
that it would not be humanity
possible to make the equalization
this year and have it ready by
October 1, as required by the
statute. Since beginning their
investigation, the board has found
that the assessments in the State
are in such a deplorable condition
that it will require complete
overhauling of the methods, and
this can not be completed for this
year.
The board announces that it
will continue to gather statistics
and will assess all property that
is found which has been escaping
taxation and all improved proper
ty and appeal cases.
The statement is made that every
steptaken and evey dollar expend-
ed SO far is necessary for the work
