TAX PENALTY TO
co into EFFECT
ON FIRST OF MAY
TWO MONTHS ADDITIONAL
GRACE GIVEN TO FARMERS TO
SETTLE WITH TRUSTEE.
BILL PASSES BOTH HOUSES
viii Be Of Very Little Benefit So Far
AS This County Is Concerned Be-
Cause Farmers Have Nothing to
Sell in Meantime.
(From Saturdays Daily Herald.)

(From Saturdays Daily Herald)
Under an act that passed both hous-
es of the legislature on Thursday the
penalties on state and county taxes
will not become effective until May
/, instead of March l, as the law
stands at this time. This will give
the people of the county two more
months OF grace.
1t is not expected that this bill will
very materially affect the collection
of the taxes here. Already a consid
cradle portion of the taxes for last year
have been paid and the great MAORI
ty of the people are accustomed to
paying them in February or at least
by the first Monday in March.
AS a matter Of fact the extension
of two months will be of little help to
the farmers Of the county for the rea
son that between now and May / they
will have but little to market. That
date is too early for the lamb or wheat
crop so that for all practical purpos-
ss the change is without any effect.
The bill passed both houses by an
overwhelming vote and will be signed
by the. governor, 1t does not make
any change except in the dates for the
payment of the taxes collected by the
trustee.

EXPECT FALLING
OFF TAX VALUES
SAYS WILLIAMS
PERSONALLY REPORTED is SURE
TO BE LESS THAN IT WAS A
YEAR AGO.
LAND VALUES ARE ALSO LOWER
Difficult Matter to Ascertain just
What the Latter Should Be IA No
Real Estate Is Now Selling In the
County.
fTrom Fridays Daily Herald +,

fFrom Fridays Daily Herald.
1T is difficult matter to find ba-
sis for the valuation of real estate
this year," said Tax Assessor Webb
Williams, who Is at work on the reas-
sessment of lands in the seventh dis
trict But l am going to do my level
best to fix their valuation, on an equit-
able and fair basis, one that will be
Just both to the taxpayer and to the
state.
1T is this way" continued Mr.. Will
liams. mo lands are being sold, in
fact none are on the market and
therefore there is no basis for valua-
ton. There are plenty of people, of
course, who want to sell land; there
are other who want to buy, but their
Viewpoints are far apart. The man
who wants to buy land wants in line
with the prices at which farm pro-
ducts are selling, or thirty to fifty
per cent reduction from the book
prices of last year. The man who has
land to sell knows this and he has not
yet made up his mind to accept the
reduction. Hence he has taken his
property off the market. Now some
where between these extreme views
expect to find a basis for making a
lair valuation.
In this county last year | did not
in making my assessments take the
extreme of boom prices as criterion.
Hence am not going to have to make
the big reduction that will be neces-
sary in other counties.
1T is not the falling off in real es-
tate that | think will be relatively so
arge this year. but the reduction in
personality. | am finding less person
II property almost everywhere. There
ire fewer mules and cattle and hogs
n the farms and men are not carry
ng the personal property that has
heretofore been reported. Others
ave been attracted by the favorable
interest rates on government securi.
| les which are tax exempt and have
laced their money In these bonds.
I'm therefore expecting a substantial
eduction in the assessment of the
county this year"
Mr.. Williams will work in the sew
nth district until he completes the
assessment there and will then 60 to
The other districts. He is trying to
lssess all the real estate personally

(F'rom Tuesdays Daily Herald,


Farmers arc taking full advantage
Of the fine Weather to PREPARE their
lands for crops. If there Is any In
tention on the part Of the farmers Of
this section to cut down production
or "lie down on their jobs this year
due to the low cost at which they are
selling the products Of the farm, that
fact is not in evidence.
There is every indication that the
corn acreage of the county will be as
large and possibly larger than 1t was
last year. The labor problem is not
nearly as acute as II was last year
and that fact of itself means more
tillablo lands for the year Last year
the crop was decreased because 1t
was absolutely impossible to get the
necessary labor. But with the shut
ting down of plants in the industrial
ccntecs and wage reduct ons general
ly made the situation has been radi-
cally changed.
There is less live stock in the cOuil
ty. particularly cattle and hogs, than
here was year ago and this fact
will likewise tend to increase the cul-
| 'ivated area There has been an IN.
| crease: In the sheep populations but
otherwise d falling off In stock. There
are fewer young mu'cs and colts than
Is normally the case.
The wheat acreage is larger than

arc for splendid yield. A big acre
