IN
annual MEET
From Mondays Dailyl

me assessors OF Sauk county
met in annual meeting at the court
house today. Addresses were
made by Judge C. D. Rosa, Madi-
son. member of the state tax COM
mission, and Alan Galbraith, as
SCISSOR of incomes for the county.
Will Classify Lands
This year the farm lands will be
classified as follows:
A. Agriculture.
B. Marsh, cut-oyer, or waste.
c. Timber.
d. Residential, commercial, etc.
In discussing the proposition,
Judge Rosa said that an assessor
was a real cZar-could make man
tell the truth under oath. 1t has
been found by experience that the
cheaper lands are overtaxed. By
this method it is hoped to reach
more just value. In the end the
state tax commission will know
how much agriculture land there
is in the state, also timber and so
forth.
According to resolution pass
ed by the legislature, based on
Milwaukee decision, property is to
be assessed as follows:
/. For what the property will
sell.
2. Readust property values to
what they are worth.
The speaker discussed prices
from 1914 to the present and said
that even yet the value of farm
land is uncertain. He doubted if
values would increase for soma
years.
Judge Rosa held the assessors
job is most important office, that
in this state millions must be
spread over the property of the
commonwealth, and that each per-
son should be assessed on the
same basis.
AS To Taxation
Taxes have increased two and
one half times in eight years.
Why?
/. Increased wealth.
2. Cheap money. s
8. War psychology. oi
a. Roads. a
5. Schools.
Judge Rosa said the increase
was the same with the public as
with the individuality more he
has, the more he spends: There
was a time when JudgeaTCRosa
walked, then he rode bicycle,
next horse and buggy, and. now
he has an automobile. 1t is the
same with cities, villages, towns,
counties and states, the richer they
are, the more they spend. His
advice is to keep within the in
come. Do not blame the other
fellow. All are going too fast.
Stock Values

stock, Mr.. Galbraith gave the fol-
lowing summary:
Best grade cows ------------- $50

If somebody should ask, in
this turbulent time, the reason
we're first on the roster of
crime = some goggle-eyed don
key will tell ye the cause is the
turrible lack of enforcible lawsl
So, forty-eight states, with the
law-makin' craze, make draft on
the toilers for all they can raise
to pay fer a Code that no
jurist can span-a blood suckin'
beast, despoiler of man!
This Gland of the Free" by
forefathers ordained, has ham
strung, pan-handled, hog-halter-
ed and chained, till the servile
taxpayer, befuddled and coarse,
is the fruit Of a mess that no
power can enforce. While the
gunman and thug, in mutual
guffaw, are applaudin' the force
called "The reign of the Law!"
If we'd curb the Banditti that
pillage our domes, we might
have somethin' left fer our
babies and homes! They'd bank
rupt the land fer pink speed
ways an schools, while they
hint that the people are tight
wads an fools. In the power of
plunder-bund, law-ridden mill,
be calm,-there's a poor-house
just over the hill.
