TAX COMMISSION
REMOVED PROPOSED
INCREASE ON COUNTY
Committee of Protest Is Successful In
Getting County'S Assessment Re-
duced SO That Taxes Should
Should Not BE Increased.

The recent announcement by the
State Tax Commission that Mason
county would be compelled to increase
Its assessment this year 100000 over
last years figures created consider
able excitement and Il committee of
protest was sent yesterday to appear
before the commission and present
reasons why the proposed increase
should not stand.
This committee was very success
full and it now appears that there
should be no increase in the taxes of
the individual taxpayer of the county
this year.
The State Commission had ordered
an increase of 100000 on farm lands
and 100000 on town lots in Mason
county but the committee of protest
was able TO have the commission re-
duce this increase to s2jO.OO0 on farm
lands and 100000 on town lots. The
committee also procured from the
State Commission a promise that all
omitted assessments which might be
found by the County Board of Equal
izers and all assessments gained in
this manner would be counted off the
increase made upon the county.
The County Board Of Supervisors
has always found over 100000 above
the assessment of the County Assessor
and it is therefore safe to say that the
individual taxpayer of Mason county
will not be increased this year.

provisions of what is known as the
1920 Transportation Act. That &C:
provided that the Interstate Com.
merce Commission should from time
to time determine and make public
what percentage of the aggregate
value Of the railroad properties
should be designated by the commits
sion and provide further that during
the two years beginning March j..
1920, the commission should take as
such fair return a sum equal to five
and one-half per cent Of such aggre.
gate value, with the discretion Of
adding thereto one-haf per cent to
make provisions for improvements
betterments and other necessities. In
order to obtain the return specified
by Congress increases in freight and
passenger rates were granted by the
Interstate Commerce Commission as
to interstate traffic, and the various
state commissions were called upoh
to grant similar increases as to inter-
state traffic. The hearing upon the
application of the various railroad
systems for such increases were con-

and the state commissions in allow
ing rate of return that will yield
the revenue prescribed by Congress.
The act also provides that if any in
vestigation 1t shall be found that any
state rate causes any unjust discrimi-
nation against interstate commerce,
the Interstate Commerce Commission
shall prescribe the rate thereafter to
be charged in such manner as to
remove the discrimination.
Railway Increase Granted.
The transportation system of the
country had reached low ebb OWNS
to the lack of adequate facilities for
moving freight, terminals were con-
gested, freight movements We're
blocked and general distress was
apparent in all lines of commerce
The time had unquestionably come
for the rehabilitation of the National
Railway system. After careful Goa
sideration the Washington public
service commission permitted the in
creases prescribed by congress ant
the Interstate Commerce Comm ssior
to apply to state traffic.
The chief contention before tbs
Interstate Commerce Commission il
relation were first, that the Increase
prescribed by the act should not ht
made upon a percentage basis; sec
ond that if the percentage increase
was permitted at all, the percentage
allowed should be lower in the Noun
tain-Pacific states than in the middle
western states. Through the effor
