ious partisan attempt to diseredit true
value assessment Misrepresentation
running from the deliberate half truth
through the scale to studied false
hood, has been leveled at the State
Board of Equalization, for its action
in following the law and the oaths OF
its members. Nevertheless true valu-
alton assessment has come to stay and
Twin never, in my Judgment, be aban-
4 doned.
i Several past administrations have
ATTEMPTED to obey the law. Governor
Gardner favored it but was overruled.
Yet fractional valuation was unfair to
city and country alike. It loaded on
the city an unjust share of property
taxation, but it's evil was most evi-
dent in the country because under the
tax hobbies of our constitution it de-
MED to the people of the country the
right to develop their schools or their
roads. By wilful injustice and for
political reasons, it wrng an unjust
proportion of state taxes from the
towns and cities, but it gave them an
opportunity, within the limits Of the
constitution to develop public i'm
Iprovements, particularly schools. 1t
saved to the farmer few cents in
taxation but it denied to his children
an equal educational opportunity and
an equal chance in life.
Taxation is always a delicate sub
ject, and there are those who believe
that it is better to allow ancient and
unjust differences to lie embedded In q
taxing system rather than to attempt
to remove them. Those who SO hold
approach the problem from the pol
itical angel only. But in the judg-
ment of the most careful thinkers in
the state not only the future develop
ment Of the state, but the whole future
of the state is involved In the educa-
tional development Of the state, which
cannot be carried forward under the
old fractional system Of assement. !
agree with those who SO hold. The
other members of the State Board of
Equalization also agree.
True valuation can be accomplished
without an increase in taxation. It
has been accomplished by the state
with a decrease of over 100000.
County Courts and School Boards can
likewise decrease taxation if they so
desire. They can also increase taxes,
which most of them have done for the
good reason that they needed and
ought to have the money. But hav-
ing increased taxes they ought at
least come forward like men and tell
the taxpayers the truth and explain
the need for it, rather than to attempt
to shift the burden of their levies to
the state board of equalization.

present State Board OF Equalization
actually put the property tax on the
constitutional basis, and, the legisla-
ture, cooperating it was accomplish
ed with 23.4eo reduction of tax
alton.
Many county courts, city councils
and school boards Immediately levied
a rate which increased taxes locally
and laid the charge of increasing tax
alton at the door of the state board.
They probably needed more money to
maintain themselves and their insti-
tutions. They should accept the con-
sequences of their own action.
One of the most glaring instances
of this occurred in Kansas City. The
Mayor Of the City sent his enissaries
to the legislature to prevent the pas
sage of the law limiting their increase
to ten per cent, and actually defeated
the law in the regular session The
City authorities later actually refused
to accept a cut in the Board Of Equal
iation's figure, after the Board had
been convinced its FIRST figures were
TOO high. jackson County actually
pays to the State Of Missouri (blind
pensions incIuded) s6,897 less than
she did last year and receives back
from the state for school purposes
$144,1l4 more than she did last year.
notwithstanding these facts the
City soaked the taxpayers for a sub
stantial increase Id taxes and the
machine maintained a lobby in the
Coliector's Office TO convince the tay-
payers that their increased taxes were
due to the Hyde administration.

ADVANTAGES OF SALT LAKE

Perhaps no salt ponds anywhere in the
world possess so many natural advantages
as the Great Salt Lake, says Stanley w.
Todd, in Popular Mechanics Magazine.
Lying as it does in one of the great valleys
of the Rockies, on the eastern edge of the
great basin, the lake extends north and
south for IS miles, while its width varies
from 80 to so miles. 1t has an average
depth of 20 feet and is 4,21S feet above
the sea level. There is little rainfall
throughout the year, and the ever-present
sun, together with the fiat shores, contri-
butte to the ideal conditions of summer
operation.
The lake has no outlet and the water
is as nearly saturated with salt as it can
be without crystallizing. Great strides
have been made in recent years in the
methods of making high-grade salt, both
by the grainer and vacuum-pan processes.
Solar evaporation and grainer methods
are used at Salt Lake, the mill being To-
Gated at a place called Saltair. During
the season when the harvesting is under
way, the water is pumped from the lake
at the rate of from 10000 to 10000 barrels
a day, the pumping being carried on from
ten to IA hours.
