The commissions report, published in
the form of a 230-page book and propos-

TO EQUALIZE
VALUATIONS
New Hampshire State Tax Commission
TO Bring Manufacturers
to Terms


to Terms.
CONCORD, \. H.. April 6.-'There
can be no equality where there is par
tiality,' says Secretary Fletcher Hale of
| the state tax commission in a statement
dealing with the re-valuation of the state
ordered by the commission, the purpose of
which is to bring the assessment of taxes
! to the full valuation of all of the property
| in the state.
The statement was in response in a
great measure to the refusal on the part
of many of the large corporations of the
state to comply With the requests of the
commission and fill out blanks pertaining
to their business as requested by the COM
mission.
The re-valuation such as has been or
dered by the commission must be made
under the constitution every five years,
but due to war conditions the attempt
made to re-value the state for the five
year period ending 1917, fell short ''as
the war conditions engaged the interest
and effort of the general public and scant
attention was paid to the ordinary pro
cesses of government, says the state
ment.
There are three courses open to the
commissioners in the pursuance of their
duty under the constitution, 1t is pointed
out.
lFSI. we can rest lOle. tEdW our Sili-
aries and merit the contempt and ridicule
of the state.
Second, we can urge that the ordinary
farm and the ordinary home which are
the easiest properties to appraise be
placed at their full value and the extraor-
binary real estate and the stocks in trade
and the intangibles be allowed to remain
as they are, thereby doing greater injury
to some taxpayers and greater favors to
0thers-and merit the contempt and ridi-
Guile of the state.
Third. we can see to it that all prop
erty of all classes, whether owned by rich
or by poor, is taxed at its full and true
value under the law, thereby rendering
equality to everyone and regardless of
protests rest content in the consciousness
of work honestly performed
The underlying current in the entire
statement is to the effect that the com
mission viii take the third course and
much interest is being taken throughout
the state in the development of their
plans.
