TAX ASSESSORS SEE
HOPE IN BOWLING
1OS RENT BILL
Want Landlords to Swear tc
Value of Property Renting
at High Figures.
THEN THEY COULD ACT.
Would Result in Higher Assess
mentS and Keep Down
Tax Rate.

The demand by tax of1cials for a
law requiring landlords to file sworn
returns, showing the value and In
como OF their property, has been
brought 70 a focus by Senator Ed
ward J. Dowling's bill aimed to base
Ndat rentals on the assessed valuation
Of property.
The danger Of making the assessed
value presumptlve evidence of the
valuation on which a landlord may
draw interest. unless the landlord is
compelled to file a sworn return each
year, was one feature of the proposed
rent law that aroused some concern
among those interested in the housing
problem.
A law to compel sworn returns an
nually has been sought in vain by
Jacob A. Cantor, President of the
Board OF Taxes and Assessments. AL
though his interest in such a law is
primarily because OF it's effect on
problems Of taxation. he believes that
the housing situation would be helped
II the special session of the Legis-
lNture would put it through now.
RAISING RENTS HAS A "coME
BACK"
'Sraxes are to run the Government,
not to punish landlords" Mr.. Cantor
said. "Of course, II a landlord, by
raising rents, increases the value OF
his property, we are Justified in rails
ing our assessed valuation. Sworn re-
turns would enable US to know ac-
curately about each parcel of prop
erty. We could tax a man on the
full value of his property without
perhaps, working some injustice tc
bis tenants by establishing a high
value whtch he would want them &c
pay on"
Acting Corporation Counsel George
p. Nicholson expressed no doubt as
t. the legality OF regulating the man
Agement OF tenements, or limiting the
rate of return from them. He hai
some doubt of the legality of hxinG
values arbitrarily on the basis Of as.
Bessed values.
I'm condemnation proceedings
where the city takes property for The
public needs" said Mr.. Nicholson
'tax values are not admitted in evil

which the city must pay. This Is be

.SPLENDIDLY QUALIFIED FOR
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS

There is nothing Of more import
ance in our county, state and national
affairs than the education Of the child
rem. At this time, especially, great
deal Of our future prosperity and well
fare as & nation depends upon the
character Of the instruction that our
boys and girls receive.
Mrs.. Pauline K Rose Is q candidate
for the Office Of County Superinten-
dent Of Schools, comes before the peo-
pie Of this county extremely well quail
flied to supervise our school system.
Completing her high school course at
Wolfe Hall, taking one year 1t Missou-
ri UniSersity, and acquiring her A. b.
at our own Normal School, she taught
her first year at Holly, Colo. next at
Rocky Ford, Colo. and is now teach
ing her second year at Cheyenne, Wyo.
Studying and teaching at these dif-
ferent points gives her wide expert
ence, which will undoubtedly be Of
much service to her and Of great bene-
fit to the schoo! system Of this county,
should she be elected County Superin-
tendent Of Schools.
All parents who have children now
attending our public schools, should
be deeply interested in seeing that
these children have the best posible
instruction that we can give thenn. and
should consider Mrs. Roses abilfiI and
qualifications when casting their bal
lot on November End.
