MONTANA LAND TAX is
SECOND LOWEST I'M u


Taxation on land in Montana is
the lowest of any state IL The Unit.
ed States, except Arizona, and asses
ments levied do not exceed 16 cents
per acre ON the average as compar-
ed with $1.40 per acre ia Idaho. ac-
cording to Harold M. Mady, county
assessor, who Monday announced
the result Of investigations into the
subject
Exact information regarding the
assessments levied on land in each
state was obtained by the assessor
With view of more accurately car
rying on the assessment work in
Cascade county. The Montana levi
es are definitely established as no,
exceeding 16 cents per acre, and
IRE believed to more nearly ap-
proximate .149 cents per acre
This rating shows that Montana's
assessment is lower than that of
ny other state in the union except
Arizona, and considerably lower
han those in other states in the
northwestern district.
The comparative assessments per
acre of northwestern states are as
follows:
Montant, 16 cents; Wyoming, 80
sents: Utah, AZ cents: North Dak-
ota, 6S cents; Colorado, 6S cents;
Washington, 70 cents; Oregon, rs
cents; South Dakota, 80 cents,
md Idaho, $14O.
The rapidity with which the 1926
assessment work in Cascade county,
s being done, according to Assessor
Mady, is exceeding the expectations
of the office. On the basis of 30
lays results in assessing, it is be
ieved that the county will show
aew improvements valued at more
han 100000. On the same basis,
The county will show an increase Of
from 20 to 80 per cent in cattle, and

I'VE have completed the checking of
,5058 assessments lists or approx
imately $50 more than were check
ed at the same time last year"
A total of 1871 lists were pre-
pared by tho assessors office for the
spring work, and the results show
hat the work is now almost so per
cent completed. The recently ini
lated honor system of assessing
personal property has also produc-
ed gratifying results, and Saturday
it was estimated that fully 80 per
cent of the lists, under this arrange
ment, had been submitted by the
property owners. The final work,
in connection with the honor system
is heing completed by the checking
of bills and sales. mortgages, etc,
and roll books for entries will be
secured Monday. The writing of
these books will commence on June
1. according TO the assessor
Slowness of non-residents proper
ty owners to return lists has slight
ly retarded the assesssment work,
but it is expected that saving of
at least $4,000 over 1925 will be af-
fected, and considerable time saved
this year through adopting of the
honor system. ct. Falls Tribune
