There are four taxing bodies
which fix the rate of taxation,

1t remains to discuss the
reasons why the state Board of
Equalization. changed the valua.
tion 0! real estate at all. The
reasons can-be briefly stated.
First, ,-because the law com
mands it, THE duty cf said
Board is to adjust and equal ze
the valuation of real and personal
property among the several coun
ties of the state. Const. Art X
Sec 1S.
"The State Board deals with
the entire assessment of the
county and NAV rise or lower
the valuation of all lands in the
county but it cannot adjustvalues
of different parcels of land with.

Second, Only by assessing
all it's property at its true value
can Justice or equity be achieved.
A sample of thevarying assess.
mnnts of the counties shows the
injustice very plainly. For in
stance the Assessor of Wright
County reported he had assessed
property in that county at the
following percentager of value.

Information on Taxes.

| lUIOT tudllOIl OH ! axes
Six months ago, taxpayers
were being told wierd stories
that were to be doubled, trcbled
or worse Farms and homes
were TO be sold for taxes. Gov.
ernor Gardner had. tried to fol.
low the law, and assess property
at it's true value He failed. The
present administration succeeded.
On the superheared imagination
of the Bourbon press, iuin was
imminent for everybody.
Most people have now paid
their taxes. 1t is possible to ad.
equately gauge the situation and
to discuss the effects of full val.
uation. We can now discuss it
on the basis of the tax receipt it
self, and not on the basis of the
rawlings of Democrat editor, who
had been blasted loose from his
perquisites
The State revenue tax has been
reduced from $4,0i1,951 10 col.
lected in 1920 t. SO, 252,324 78 in
1921; the Capitol building tax has
been reduced from S53S,9l3 ii in

state interest tax was abolish d

The people in Nov 'mber 1920
voted a tax to pay pensions to the

In four years the former ad

8 per cent, or from So. 742 ,692 in
1917, to So, 3O7 ,946 in 1920. The
