Joint district must pay? No. There
is one more item and that is if there
are any students from the township
that attends the city school, he must
pay his share of the township tuition.
Under this condition the farmer in
the Joint District Of the City OF River
Falls pays FIVE times the school tax
that his neighbor that resides in the
same town.
1t looks very much like confiscation
of property by taxation rather than
by due process of law. This is local
condition not state.
The state of Wisconsin spent for
schools last year $50,000,000; for
roads about $45,000,000. These two
items are the largest expenses of the
state. The General Property pays
more than 80 per cent of the total tax.
Is it not about time that the tax
burden be readjusted to make it more
uniform?

Mr.. Hanson Replies
To Journal Item

Il
contains an editorial in regard to
some remarks / made at the school
meeting on the previous Monday
night. If the editor of the Journal
had listened with an open mind and
had not been prejudiced against the
speaker he would have had an alto
gether different understanding of
what / said.
| wish to inform the editor that !
have not revised my stand in regard
To taxation. as the editor says in his
editorial. But right here let me say
that if the Progressives had had a
working majority in the State Senate
as they had in the Assembly, we could
have had a tax bill through that
would have been a credit to all the
people in the state.
But the school meeting of Monday
| evening was of local nature and the
| object was to raise money by bone
issue to build new schoo. building.
We were told that about Az mills
levied against The assessed pfopert!
/. @ district w3utl DO it.
That | doubt very much end ] base
my doubt on past experience.
How are the farms affected that
belong to the Joint school district
with the city of River Falls? Allow
me to quote some figures from the re-
port of the Assessor of Incomes for
the year of 1922.
/ Personal property was assessed at
1875 per cent in the Town of River
Falls, that is 25 per cent above par
while personal property in the City
of River Falls was 80 per cent or 10
per cent below par or difference OF
IS per cent.
! Real estate in the Town of River
Falls was SO per cent and in the City
of River Falls, 81 per cent making a
difference Of per cent in real estate.
The farmers of the Joint school
district have asked for an equaliza-
ton of the tax, but so far have not
| received it.
Two years ago / sent in petition
asking for an equalization but got
nothing.
With this glaring inequality in the
assessment, the farmers are paying
far more than their share of school
tax in the district.
AS the tax receipts show, it does
not take much of farm to pay S259
or more in school tax alone. Then
add to that the town, county and state
tax, and the farmer is loaded beyond
! his ability to pay.
41as mills seems small by itself but
multiply it a few times and the
farmer that now pays $4,000 school
tax, will, by this raise, pay $4,000
school tax.
Three naughts mean nothing but
by adding a figure one to it, at once
it reads 1000.
The present school tax Of the city
district is IA mills. By adding Az
mills. it makes the tax 1872 mills.
Farmers living neighbors in the
Town school district have school
tax of 21a mills or $3.50 per $1,000
on assessed value, while those in the
city school district pays Ia mills or
$14 per $1,000 on assessed value.
If the Az mills had been voted, 1T
would have been $3.50 per $1,000
difference of SIC on every $1,000 in
school tax between the two farms in
different school districts.
| Is that all that the farmer in the
