Assessment Ratio
Hit By Auditors
Deny Tax Commissions Right To
Set Arbitrary Figure; Attempt
Equalization

OLYMPIA, October % - A test
case against the assessment ratio
law in property taxation--a law as
old as Washington's statehood-is
being considered by half a dozen
counties, according to information
received by the state tax commits
sion.
County assessors are attacking the
commissions right to say counties
shall assess property at 38 to a.
per cent of it's actual worth, instead
of SO per cent.
Attempt Equalization
Every year the commission, act
ing as the state board Of eQualiza-
ton, sets new ratios for counties in
am effort to equalize the tax burden
on property owners over the state as
a whole.
Assessors and other county offic-
ials want to be allowed to assess
property at SO per cent, thus giving
them a larger tax base and increas-
ing their tax income. They see this
step as a way to modify restrictions
placed on county taxes by the 40
mill law.

10000 In State
Get Pension Money
Cost Nearly. Half Million Since
July L; Only One In 10
Now On Rolls

OLYMPIA, October % - Ole
age pensions would cost Washington
$3,OaO,0OO a month if all of the 101,-
SOB persons more than IS years old
received the full $50 month.
AS it is, the states finances permit
payment of only 10000 pensions a
month. State Auditor Cliff Yelle
reported $489, 154 had been paid out
since July l, when the state took
over pensions.
Finances being what they are,
drawing an average of less than $50
a month and only one of each 10
persons more than IS years old is re-
ceiving checks from the state.
Big Sum Needed
The state department of public
welfare estimated it would need ST.
100000 the first year to pay pen
sions to 1000 persons. The esti-
mate was made prior to the 1885
legislature, indicating that the state
is holding closely to it's original
plans and possibilities.
Since pensions receive five cents
out of each sales tax dollar, the
number paid will rise as income
from the revenue law increases
from longer operation and settle
ment of law suits.
Before the state completely took
over pensions, 17,170 or 1863 per cent
of the population over IS were re-
ceiving public relief or old age pen
sions, with only 2,239 of them be-
ing pensioners.
OF the remainder, 8,704 were re-
ceiving relief from counties, 1,348
were inmates in county institutions,
and 4,879 were receiving relief from
the VERA.
Since the state took over the pen
sion burden, it has increased the
amount of pensions greatly and
quadrupled the number receiving
them. If Congress this winter APP
propriates money for pensions, the
total paid each person may be re-
cipient of more money and the num-
Der of pensioners increased.
