Show V THE OGDEN POST Friday, February 1, 1929 A Ad Evening With the Spirits School Apportionments (Utah Taxpayer) Utah Legislature Urged to Provide for Feeble-Minde- d By RING LARDNER A few years ago one of the school districts in this state complained to that they were unable to 1ST governor eortinue their schools. The treasury public spirited vs empty. A few citizens in that school district had been obliged to go into their own funds for the conpockets to raise schools. of the. tinuation Wishing to know the facts, the empowered two well informed citizens to go into that' school district td study the situation. A hearing 1 ( l j and assessed valuation can be This survey shows that in Beaver county the average ratio between assessed valuation and actual valuation on real estate is 38.74r while in Salt Lake City it is 67.54 VI . If the Beaver county assessor should assess property on the same basis as is being done in Salt Lake City, and if the present levy in Beaver should be applied an entirely different story would be told. Instead of asking the other school districts to supply it with $2.G39 it would raise approximately $16,000 upon its own property. This would enable Beaver school district to meet all its requirements and leave a surplus of approximately $13,000. But since it is not contemplated that a school district shall have any reserve at the end of the school year, the school board could at once cut down its levy to a point that would just raise the required revenue. What is true of Beaver is true of several other school districts in the state. IIow is this to be corrected? it come voluntarily? Experiences of the past do not jus tify that hope. Students of this question are coming more and more to the conclusion that the solution lies in the increase of power to the State Board of Equalization in the entire field of assessments, individual as well as class. This will mean that if any school district, if any county or city should, studiously or otherwise, assess below the average of the state on any class of property, the State Board of Equalization would be empowered to order such assessment up to the general level. This would have an immediate effect upon the distribution of school funds. There then would be no reward, as is now the case, for low assessments. There would be no penalty upon the taxpayers in a senool district where the assessments are maintained at a high level As a matter of equity and fairness this power of readjustment should be placed with some body that is independent and free from local pressure, prejudice and persuasion. Then, the distribution of school funds would be made on an equitable basis, fair to those who receive and to those who contribute. gov-eip- or About thirty of the leading taxpayers in that district were called in and sworn.

What would happen if all the property in all these school districts were assessed at the same ratio of I it actual value ? If the ratio between the assessed valuation to the actual value of property were the same in ; Beaver school district as in Morgan or.in Washington or in Salt Lake City, twgat would it mean? The taxpayer i may ask, Is there a difference? f Yes. It ranges all the way from 1 88,71 to 67.54. How do we know?
