URGE FAIRNESS IN
TAX ASSESSMENTS

"The Wisconsin Tax Commission,
aalive to the fact that ever increasing
taxes make more important their prop
er distribution, has inaugurated
campaign for bettre equalization in
assessments"
This statement is made by R. A.
Tredennick, assessor of incomes for
this district.
"The tax commission began the
work through appeals made to the 10
cal assessors at their annual meetings
during April. These meetings were
addressed by Commissioner Charles
D. Rosa and Field Agent Pearce
Tomkins. They insisted that no mat
ter how fair and just the laws relat-
ing to assessments and taxation of
general property might be,-no matter
how we'll the state and county equali-
gation,-that in the final analysis
state, county, school and local taxes
are paid on the basis of values placed
| by the local assessor.
| If the local assessor falters or fails,
| if he is incompetent, unfair or dishon-
est, the expenses of government are
unfairly distributed.
Cooperation and more active in
terest on the part of the property
owners are essential to the success of
the commissions program. The plac-
ing of proper assessment values is
dicult task. Men are called to
serve as assessor with little special
training, in the majority of districts.
Property owners should assist in every
way. They should demand and insist
on assessments made according to
law.
In spirit of fair play,-in the in
terest of good government for the
good of all the property owners of
Grant county, we solicit your aid in
helping our assessors to assess proper
ty on the only fair basis,-its true
market value
