Equal Taxation.
KMTOlt Sun: Allow me to call the
attention of jour readers to a subject
of great importance to them, and one
which has heretofore received but little
attention. A great deal has been said
i I n the past two years, and justly, about
the need of economy in the administra
tion of county affairs, It seems to me
equnlh desirable, at least, that a fair
and equitable assessment of the taxable
wealth of the county should lie made, i
It is notorious that the so-called heavy
taxpayers of the county have been for
the most part its light taxpayers in
fact: and many small property owners
have been as negligent, to use the
mildest term possible, in making their
returns for taxation. It seems to me
wo have already allowed this evil to
exist too long. I believe our boat d of
supervisors would bo willing to do its
whole duty, butitisvery hard for them
to overthiow the precedent of years in
such a matter without some assurance
of approval from theirconstituents. To
this latter end, petitions will be circu
lated in Flagstaff and Williams within
a few da.s asking that the board of
equalization comply strictly with the
law in fixing the value of property,
without favor to any individual or in
stitution. From a personal investiga
tion I can testify that the assessment
this j ear is a much fairer one, on the
whole, than those of the past few years
at least, and in many instances where
property has been given in at too low a
figure the assessor has made notation
to that effect. It only remains now for
the citizens of the county to give the
needed endorsement, and I am satis
lied the board will give us an impartial
equalization of the taxes. This is an
evil which exists everywhere, it is
true, but there is no reason why It
should not be remedied. Let every
good citizen lend his name and his in
fluence to this much-needed end. Very
respectfully, Fhank C. Rhid.
