TAKE
TAX QUESTION
BEFORE BOARD
Committees Appear To-day at Reg
ulAr Sessions Of County
Board Of Review.
(Snecial to The Arxus.)

Aledo, July 26.-At the session Of
the county board OF review today
committees appeared in the inter-
ests Of Mercer county farmers, pro-
testing the rate Of land assessment.
]. w. Watson, statistician in the
finance department of the l. A.. A.;
P. s. Richey OF the Mercer County
Farm bureau. together with the tax
committee of the latter organiza-
ton composed of Elisha Lee. r. A.
Newcomer and L. L. Park, were
those who appeared for the farm
ers' interests. MIR. Watson was
sent here by George A. Fox, secre-
tary of the Illinois Agricultural
association.
Those representing the farmers
claimed that the county board OF
review is the only existing body
to whom authority is given fol
equalizing or extending land val
ues in the county for county taxa
tfonal purposes. In their argu'
ments they stated that the county
clerk insists he must affix the taxes
upon the basis set by the Illinois
state tax commission.
1t is proposed that the assessed
valuations of land for 1922 be the
same valuation as the board of re-
view valuation was for the proceed
ing year, which, in their argu
pents, the farmers claimed to b.
unjust. To show the unequal as
sessed value of lands with othe1
taxable property the following of
fetal records were taken.
In 1920 the assessed valuation O
lands in the county was 81, 162, sos
while in 1921 it increased to $12,
1870. Instead Of an increase
the farmers were of the opinion
that as product prices had. fallel
their land was not worth as mucl
as in the previous year. During
the two years the assessed valua
. ton on town lots increased from
$1.684,410 to $1,716,930, which wa
a very small increase compared t,
that on lands. Personal propert,
decreased from 81 1886, Jos to $5,32S,
755. Railroad property decrease,
from $1.404 ,292 to $1,370,097.
