A Hollenbeck This is tax paying time and many people are kicking about their taxes The time is opportune an and the kick Is appropriate But Dut It Is no fault of I the assessor nor of the county com com- I missioners The kick is properly against the state board of equalization tion that raised the valuations 25 per cent It seems that tho the state administration needs more money That has been the fault of all ailL of our state administrations It It mates maces no difference thus far wh whether ther it be Republican or Democratic The Tho es estimates estimates estimates es- es come in from the different boards board and institutions and the legislature leg leg- slature seems to think that they must have haye all they ask for includIng including Ing ng high salaries for boards and they get it H. And still sull they hey make new boards with new high salaries hitched to them I The Ibe be theory Is' Is wrong Instead oi ot continually continually continually contin contin- r raising taxes to me meet t the tho new created demand demands there should be a acut acut acut cut in iii the expenses to conform to a reasonable tax The rhe full cash value is the lw bw j jv v of i assessment and it is wrong It is impossible to assess at the full un cash value for if you do the value of the property immediately falls raIls below helow the full assessed value It immediately immediate- immediate ly y puts an incubus on the lan lan-i that causes a timidity and a purchaser is driven away Our cattle were vere as assessed assessed IS- IS at the full cash value and they now are Ire worth w rth less that what they were assessed at The result is that people are paying taxes on ou a a. valuation much larger than wh what t I property the they have have Also Aiso much I land that is not fanning farming land is assessed assessed assessed as as- as such If It it can be Irrigated ed now it is farm land but if it cannot now be watered but can sometime when it gets a ditch then It t is mere grazing land but such land and is assessed as farm land That Thatis is s merely the assessment on a possibility or or on ou an ambition Vh Why should an assessor assess on a possible possible ble futurity Instead of or on a property fact But the assessor is not to I blame They all do it and have done it It and It is wrong And along comes the state board and puts a blanket raise on top of a fictitious valuation Why Because the state I must have more money to pay high salaries and all the modern new newfangled newfangled newfangled theories that have a high salary attached to them It Itis pis is time for or somebody to protest and I am glad to see a lot of Duchesne county county coun- coun ty y property holders protest against this his arbitrary exercise of power to compel the people to pay more taxes axes t-t-t t ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL l County organizations whose task It t will be bo to conduct the Roosevelt memorial In this state are arenow arenow arenow now complete and read ready for action according to a statement just Issued by br Nephi L L.
