COUNTY LAND
ASSESSED VALUATION
FAIR, SAY STATE BOARD
ESTIMATED ACTUAL VALUATION
HIGHER THAN ASSESSED
VALUATION

Teapot dome scandals may come
and go, interest rates may fluctuate,
but the matter of taxes seems to be
the main issue before the general
public today, both locally and nation
ally, and it seems the general opin
ion is that the assessed valuation of
real estate is somewhat above the
actual value of such property.
There has been quite bit of pres
sure brought to bear by a majority
Of the tax payers of this and adjoin-
ing counties that the assessed valu-
alton of dry farm lands in Phillips
County and Northeastern Colorado
should have a substantial reduction
for the coming year OF 1924.
A movement has been on foot since
last fall by the tax PAYERS OF Phillips
and surrounding counties in regard
to this matter. A meeting OF the
tax payers of Phillips county was
called and held in the auditorium
of the Court House at Holyoke, Jan.
19, 1924, to appoint committee to
meet with the State Tax Commission
at Denver, during the week OF Jan.
2l to 26. which was stock show week.
The object of tnis committee was 10
represent the tax payers and land
owners in this county in conference
with the State Tax Commission to
ascertain II it were possible for the
farmer and the land owner to get
any relief from taxation.
This comittee which was composed
Of about twelve members including
the writer. was granted conference
with the State Tax Commission on
Tuesday. Jan. %. 1924. at which time
the committee presented &c the Tax
Commission the facts regarding the
conditions existing among the dry
farm land owners In Northeastern
Colorado.
After a very courteous conference
with the State Tax Commission. Mr..
c. p. Fink, one OF the members OF the
Tax Commission requested we submit
them list OF transfers OF land in
this county for the year l92S together
with the assessed valuation of the
same property for the same yea. lie
also suggested We get an estimate OF
the actual value OF the SAM proper
t!cs which were included In this list.
alter our return home we obtained
a list OF thirty.four land transfers in
Phillips county for the yea= 1923 as
shown by the records in he Office
OF the County Clerk.
An estimated actual value was then
taken on these four transfer: from
I'VE different land owners ahi taS
payers over the county. These es.
Inmates were taken from men who
have been residents and land owners
in Philips county for a number Of
years.
A list Vas then made showing the
transfer price, assessed yall i.ion and
the estimated actual value ot these
thirty.four transfers and ths result
submitted to the State Tax con,mis
sion for their consideration,
The result OF the computation is
as follows: The assessed valuation OF
these transfers was 7b.25ee Of the
transfer price which Included all trade
and sales. and the assessed valuation
valus. As viii he seen the estimated
actual value OF these transf,i4 was
higher than the assessed valuation
A letter was also submitted TO the
State Tax Commission asking FOR a
very substantial reduction in va'uA'
tIons for 1924, the reply TO which is
as follows:

a view of the field hands harvesting
bumper crop. Or perhaps the local
real estate man wants photograph
taken on some farm he handles; some
times railroad companies use her farm
views.
Selling the home town views to for
mer residents is one of the best meth

buys outright. She will, by browsing
about a bit, when in the city, find lit
tie secondhand book stalls, where she
may pick up books at bargain prices.
Her first purchases should be stand
and fiction works, in about seventy
fiye-cent editions.
She must remember the people who

books on such subjects as domestic
science, gardening, and poultry rails

of books for that most voracious class
of readers-the children.
The girl-librarian may decide to
subscribe to few of the popular
magazines, and she could, by clubbing
several, get special rates. She should
sew them into heavy covers, always
filing away carefully the old num-
bers for future reference. She will
need to use a card system, or some
other method of record keeping. She
may decide to require each patron a
dollar deposit to insure her against
loss, or mutilation Of books.

work will have the pleasure of asso-
citation with the best books of the day,
in addition to whatever financial re-
ward she can make it pay her.

Unconventional

He took hih ticket leisurely at the
booking Office of a suburban railway
station, but, on hearing the train
approaching, made more haste than
speed to the platform. He was going
well until, nearly at the top of the
steps leading to the platform, some
thing or other caused his foot to slip.
His silk hat had wabbled onto his
brow, his bag and umbrella betook
themselves one to the right and one
to the left, but he manfully regained
these possessions in a grasp-all sort
of fashion while on his knees.
Then he looked up at the official at
the gate and inquired; rs this the
way to go to the train?"

reply, you can come that way If you

Probably no one has ever called
John Milton wit, yet the great poet
could on occasion make a singing re-
tort, as an old letter, recently discov-
cred, shows. Charles II desired to

You cannot discuss San Francisco

a great many people as being an old,
not a new city; a sophisticated, civ
ilized complicated place. 1t does it,
not by being old-for it is joke to
