AFFORD SEES NO
TAXATION RELIEF

Continued from page y
money was used in the city in which
it was raised. But when 40 per cent
of it was taken out of the city with
no visible returns it is placing bur-
den upon the city that it doesn't want
to carry. Under the old law the city
government got 10 per cent of the in
come tax raised, the county 20 per
cent, and the state 10 per cent. The
state was given only as much as it
was thought required to operate the
state government. Now the last legis-
lature has re-arranged the apportion-
ment so that the city gets 80 per cent,
the county 10 per cent, and the state
40 per cent"
City Must Make Up For 1t
'Now where is the city going 70 get
the money it needs to make up for this
large cut in its apportionment 1t
must add to the real estate and per-
sonal property tax. And, as in the case
of the city Of Kenosha where the city
pays 20 per cent of the taxes paid by
the entire county, seventy per cent of
that additional tax goes into the city
again.
$50 long as we all stay at home and
neglect to vote that's the penalty we
will pay. When the people of Wiscon-
sin understand what these problems
mean to the state as whole they will
rise up and correct them"

BANKS PROTEST.
ON ASSESSMENT
Board of Review Receives
Protest of Banks Against
Assessment Plan.
REEVES OLD QUESTION
Whether Banks Are to Be
Assessed On Income or
AID Val0rem Basis.

An old problem was revived this
morning when the banks of Kenosha,
each separately, presented to the city
council and other city officials, sit
ting as a board Of review, protests
against the assessments which have
been made against the banks for tax
alton purposes. The protests revive
the question of whether the banks are
to be assessed on an ad valorem basis,
which has been used by City Assessor
Stevens, or an income basis, which the
banks desire.
The board of review, meeting in the
council chamber of the City Hall, list
ened to the representatives e. re banks
and then placed the protests on file.
No action regarding them was taken,
the city officials intimating that un-
der the present law there is no way
which can be used to assess the banks
except on the ad valorem basis.
Claim 1t rs Discriminatory.
The banks protest against the asses
ment because they claim that it is dis
criminatory and unconstitutional. The
same question arose last year and was
finally decided on compromise basis.
the banks agreeing to pay fifty per
cent of the tax on the ad valorem
basis, the situation at that time, how
ever, was different from what it is
now, inasmuch as the Supreme Court
Of Wisconsin has since handed down
a decision upholding the law which
states that banks are to be assessed
an he Cd Havana haSiS
The banks now maintain that the
United States Supreme Court will set
aside this decision. known as the Hart
ford Bank decision, and for that reas-
on they are filing their protests to
protect their interests if such a ruiz
ing is made.
Remedy Is in the Courts.
The discussion before the board Of
review this morning brought. out the
stand, now being taken by the city
officials, that in the face of this
Hartford decision, the city en- take
no other stand than 10 insist on the
ad valorem method of assessment,
which has been used. 1t is claimed
that the banks only remedy lies
through court procedure.
The same question is before other
cities of the state. The majority of
the cities made compromise agree
ments last year but are doing the
same as Kenosha this year.
The assessment on an ad valorem
basis brings an increase in the taxes
of the banks of the city of many thou
sand dollars over what the tax would
be en- the income basis, the exact
amounts not now 'ng available, ac-
cording to the assessor.
