intended to compel q taxpayer to
give an honest account Of his tax
able property, make its rigid en-
forcement with your State assessors
or some>bther central authority.
In no other way, in my judgment,
can complete and effectual enforce
ment, be accomplished.
Chairman Stetson called attention
to the Kennebec Journal report OF
Wednesdays convention proceedings.
stating that both in substance and
in space it was gratifying and wss
appreciated by all Of the members OF
the convention.
Upon the motion. of Professor
Woods Of Orono, it was voted that
the executive committee Of the asso-
citation appoint legislative commit
tee to confer with the Board OF
State Assessors relative to 'legisla-
ton for the next session.
The assessors expressed themselves
in favor of longer term of office for
the local assessor, the motion being
made by B. T.. Soule of Ellsworth.

proprietor says: Not quite so much
as last year. Second selectman looks
OH last years valuation book and
finds it was $5OOo The ink bottle trys
to say something, and he is informed
that if he wants to die yearling he
was headed in that direction. The
valuation is placed at $4,000, whwen
he may have that same stock insur-
ed for $4,000.
The way taxes in the State of
Maine as whole are assessed is a
joke. We will leave this store and
take trip to the town Of Brunswick.
Here we find the celebrated Cabot
mill employing about 800 people. With
wonderful water power dam and
mill. valued on the assessors books
at s575.OO0. A short time ago a con-
trolling interest was sold for 1929 per
share. The assessors are honorable
men; they took their valuation from
last years books and not from a
dollars standpoint. 1t is hard for q
man to see things big but to me the
Cabot mill looks like million dollars
for valuation.
We could take trip to Lisbon. The
Farwell mills was recently sold for
$780, 900 and this amount did not in.
clude the capital stock. Assessed for
$39Sf750 we are getting closer to
real value. but not close enough; but
compare. Cabot mill on the Andro-
scoggin employing 800. with Far
we'll mills on the Sabattus river
burning hundreds of tons of coal;
employing about 800. Where is your
basis Of value unless 1t be by what it
sells for.
Our celebrated Worombo mills To-
Gated in Lisbon Falls pays more
taxes and IS valued greater than any
mill in the State Of its class. That is
valued at 1852. 100. The Pejepscot pa
per mills at Lisbon Falls $3.50, $50.
The Farnsworth mill at Lisbon Gen.
ter $148,750. These figures I'd like for
you to remember to use in your own
valuations if you live in a mill town.
We are now in Bath. Two years ago
the Bath Iron Works was carried at
! $250OO0. The Texas at $4,000. This
year $1.50o.000 Bath Iron Works, Texas
| 81, 100000. I haven't the figures, but ]
think Bath Iron Works was capitalized
at three mills on a dollar. When some

Maine Assessors
Closing Session
Continued from Page One)

Continued from Page One)
Thursday morning, Fred w. Davis CT
Rumford, chairman of the nominal
ing committee, gave the committee
report which was accepted, and the
1920 officers were elected.
The first speaker was Charles A.
Jordan Of Lisbon, whose subject was
'Basis Of Valuation"
! ssBasis of Valuation"
To me has been given a subject
that hasc been and will be discussed
until time is no more. Before we go
further into the subject let us re-
cali our oath Of office:
You. - having been elect
ed assessor for the ensuing year, do
swear that you will faithfully and
impartially perform the duties of
assessor according to law (See Revis-
ed Statutes) So help me God.
It is also we'll at this time to de-
eide on what our basis Of valuation
is to be. To me the only fair basis
is: What that piece of property of
what ever description is worth in dol
lars placed on the market. Should we
try to make this value on a two
thirds or three-quarter value it would
lead to trouble. and helping of per-
sonal friends. While the assessors
may sit in the Office and let the tax
payers come and give in their valu-
alton. think the better and most
honest way is. as soon as you have
complied with the law by staying in
the office, start out on a tour Of in
spcction.
Here is the way the procession US
TALLY starts: The chairman with this
years valuation book; the second
selectman with last years book and
the third selectman carries the ink
bottle and tries to look anything but
what he does look. Your first call
may be in a dry goods store. The
proprietor shakes hands. talks about
everything but dry goods. Finally
the chairman says: How does your
stock compare with last year,. The

Keeping Complete Records"

Brief and right to the point was the
address upon the subject, 1.-THE Ne
cessity Of Keeping Complete Records
by Local Assessors" given by Chair
man Il. A. Ryerson of the Board OF
Assessors at Auburn. He stated that
the business Of taxes Is a business
and should be conducted as a bust
ness. and he believed that the as
SCISSOR can reach out and be of serv-
ice in the community by courteously
and kindly making the official records
Of the office accessible to every per-
son. no matter how humble. Many
people dread to go into the asses
sors' office. but this courtesy helps
to establish kindly and pleasant re-
lations with the people who pay the
taxes.
Mr.. Ryerson stated that the most
important record Is the valuation
book. n large, bulky volume of some
500 pages. giving every kind of prop
erty. personal and real, in systemat-
ic form. and giving as full a de-
scription Of the real estate as can be
obtained. This book is used by tax
officials and hundreds and thousands
Of people coming into the Office to
examine every detail. The books
should be arranged in a business or.
der
Then again there is the abatement
book. He had found most conven-
lent the loose leaf type of book. A
loose leaf book containing the real
estate transfers from the registry Of
deeds office, is great aid to the as
SCISSOR.
There are various card systems for
canvassing property owners, and the
street lists are Of much assistance
to the assessors.
The matter of securing the lists
Of real estate transfers was given
some discussion. Anne Cassavant
OF the board of assessors in Augusta
stated that that board secures tho
list as published weekly in the
newspaper. and finds this method
very satisfactory. Mr.. Milliken of
Portland spoke of the method used
in Portland. where number Of
clerks at stated intervals each year
copy these records from the office Of
'Ho SouHIy TeSlSteE Oh OeeQS.
"Ths Gypsy Moth"
The last speaker at the convention
was State Senator George H. Babb
from Sebago. who is working in
connection with the State Depart
ment of Agriculture and gave a
short talk upon the subject, 1.-THE
Gypsy Moth" He stated that Maine
has had the brown tail moth and Il
has gone. and the gypsy moth Is now
a serious menace. He described this
moth and spoke of the manner of u.s.
ing creosote to exterminate the pest.
In closing the convention Chair
man Stetson stated that the Board
OF State Assessors Is pleased to CO.
operate. with the local assessors in
their work and stands ready at all
times to help them. He wished tho
local assessors a safe return to their
homes. and rendered to them his
best wishes.

The assessors who were unable 10

Augusta certainly entertained its

the days Of the big convention.

ing purposes, they to furnish the
list to the different cities and towns
for taxing purposes. For any in
vestment house falling to do this Ia
take the matter up with the proper
authorities. Also any man failing
in the giving in his tangible o" in
tangible property would forfeit it
to the State.
This is the year in which every
assessor must make each man pay
his just share Of the burden. There
is on need to increase rate. make
each assessment on the oasis of what
it would sell on the market. Don't
think the corporation is the only one
escaping. The merchants whose
goods are 2 to times higher than
they were are escaping their share
of this load. For a man Whose goods
are increasing in value can afford to
pay.
In closing I wish to say this.
You may recall when your son left
for France. He went to do his duty.
He fought for right and justice.
Now the town and city assessor are
to 60 over the top in April. In clos
ing, let me say to you assessors. If
you do your duty you will not come
back. But we who live will erect to
your memory these words: Died a
political death in the year 1920-1921
as an assessor who did his duty.
Many interesting facts. regarding
taxation matters in the neighborin;s
state of New Hampshire were given
in the address of Hon. John T. Amey
of Concord, n. H.. member of the
New Hampshire Tax Commission,
whose subject was THE New Hamp-
shire Listing Law" And the speaker
was given a unanimous vote OF
thanks for his kindness in appearing
before the convention.
