III

The reproach against Washing
ton Of comparative undertaxation is
based upon the theory that a low tax
tax rate means heavy taxation, and
that, since so many of the states have
enacted laws requiring full assess
ment valuation, the tax rate applied
to these assessments to produce the
actual tax levy measures with ap-
proximate accuracy the relative tax
burdens of the various American cit
les. But students of taxation know
that this theory is falInciOus, that the
laws requiring full or real or true cash
assessment of property for taxation
are very generally disObeyed, that the
degree of disobedience varies SO
greatly in the states that full Valua-
tion means anywhere from 20 per cent
in some states to more than 100 per
cent in some great cities in state
like Ohio, which once limited the tax
rate on realty to $40 per thousand;
that the reports to the census of the
relation of assessed to true value,
with a few notable exceptions (Which
the census authorities indicate), vary
in widely different degrees from the
truth; with the result that the value
of the tax rate alone or In cOmbfna-
ton with alleged full valuation AS
easements is absolutely destroyed as n
reliable standard of measuring rela-
tive tax burdens.
Smaller Tax Rate, Larger Tax Burden.
To show the fallacy of the theory that
the tax burden necessarily follows the
tax rate. consider Waehington,s ex-
perience, which is Reproduced with de-
creased taxation on account OF reduc-
ton of the tax rate in pursuance
of the 1922 law from $3.50 per
thousand to $13, when, as matter OF
fact, owing to the change in assess
ment standard, the large decrease in
tax rate meant an actual increase In
tax burden.
In most Of the states the tax rate Is
merely n percentage figure that must
be applied to the assessment valua-
ton to bring about the amount OF tnx
money that the self-taNing cOmmu-
nifty decides that 1T will spend upon
itself in that particular year. II 1t
has valued its property for tax pur-
poses on high standards of assess-
ment, then the percentage rate to pro-
it has assessed it's property ON a low
standard it's rate to produce the same
amount must be high. For example,
in the Ohio cities (as In WashfngtOne
the rate is low and the assessment Is
high. In Iowa the rnte Is very high
and the assessment is very low. 1t
results that, covering states as n
whole, we find the widest diversity
that Is conceivable of tax rate, and
this diversity is absolutely fmma-
terial, for no one who knows the
conditions dreams of taking the tax
rate alone as the standard of COM
parisOn.
Two Glasses of Tax-Rate Cities.
Washington is thus in the class
with cities in states with a low tax
rate and a high assessment, and at
the other end of the line from cities
in states with high tax rates and low
assessments. Below Figures of 1920
are some cities with low tax rateSand
high assessments, and other cities
with high tax rates and low assess
