II believe that taxation is the
paramount issue confronting the
people of this city today. Uniform
methods of assessing property as
related to City and County are def
nitely lacking with the City of
Phoenix fixing assessed valuations
from two to three times higher than
the county. The ultimate result
is that hundreds of widows and
veterans lose either part or all of
their tax exemption for which the
law was originally intended. In ad-
dition the high valuations lower
the city tax rate. This sounds good
until facts are revealed as related
to certain corporations. City and
County Assessors C cannot assess
these corporations because they
come under the direct jurisdiction
of the Arizona State Tax Commits
sion and assessed valuations are
set by that body. However, the
same lower tax rate, made possible
by the higher assessed valuations
on homes and businesses, apply to
the assessed valuations of these cor
porations for taxation purposes.
'In regard to the Phoenix City
Assessors Office, this is merely a
duplication of service as furnished
by the County Assessors Office,
but for the 1949-5O fiscal year will
cost the taxpayers of this city ap
proximately One Hundred Thou
sand Dollars. 1t is my sincere be-
lief that this city should use the
assessed valuations of Maricopa
County, as pertains to property
within the Citys corporate limits,
for tax levying G purposes, and
abolish the City Assessors Office
as tremendous expense to the
taxpayers.
II believe the moral issues in
volved in this campaign and refer
red to in our Phoenix daily papers
as Vice, Graft and Corruption
merely divert the voters attention
from the main issue, namely taxa
ton, which is tearing at the very
foundations on which our city is
built.
II believe that the voters of this
city should give the Independent
candidates for city council their
earnest consideration after investi-
cation for qualifications, honesty
and sincerity of purpose, before de-
Gliding on any fully organized ticket.
An organized ticket has an organ
izer and any organizer has a
motive. How can the public know
that this motive is to the best in
terests of our people as a whole.
Independent candidates seeking
a city council seat usually do so
because the civic interest which
they have in their community. If
these candidates are elected, altho
unorganized, they would assume Of
flee with constructive detectives in
view and my belief as an individual
is that they would work together
for the betterment of our city,"
