A TAX REFORM ASSESSMENT
Trouble Ahead For Supervisors.
The new State Hoard of Tax Com
missioners are preparing to make a
heap of trouble for some people if they
don't comply with the provisions of the
new method of making assessments.
And there seems to be trouble in
store for those who obey the new reg
ulations. The Assessors of Port Huron recent
ly completed their rolls, and supposed
they had made a fair assessment and
had included much personal property
not heretofore assessed. Rut as soon
as they had completed the work, State
Tax Commissioner Freeman, recently
appointed by Governor Filigree, swoop-
eu down on the assessors and ordered
them to do much of the work all over
again.
It appears that it will be insisted by
the Commissioners that every tax-payer
shall fill out and swear to tho state
ment to be made by them, including
description of all property, and that
the supervisor shall iix the lull cash
value of the same.
These blanks contain a very largo
number of questions ami it is safe to
say that to enforce tho law will drive a
supervisor crazynot to enforce it will
drivo him to jail. So the incoming
supervisor finds himself between the
devil and the deep sea. Whichever
way he jumps he will wish ho had gone
the other. It is too early to predict
what tho result of these new methods
may be. Rut they are not likely to bo
such a howling success as the so-calk'd
tax reformers and equal taxation agi
tators claim.
For instance, the assessors will be re
quired to place a man's savings bank
deposits i)ii tho assessment roll. It also
provides that from the amount of this
deposit the assessor may deduct the
amounts of the debts and assess the
balance.
In case of the largo depositor thi3 is
liable to be a very convenient loop hole.
Ho will have a variety 01 business in
terests and holdings in other portions
of the country and can conveniently
wipe out the assessment with these and
an elastic conscience which he is sure
to possess.
In the case of the small depositor it
will be different. His business opera
tions are confined to his home locality.
The supervisor usually knows all
about him and his property. He is not
naturally given to lying under oatli to
save himself from his proportion of
taxation. He will be assessed lor the lull
amount of his deposit and will not have
the advantage of tho "debt" racket.
It is also stated that tho Commission
will insist upon raising all assess
ments to a higher rate where not assess
ed at full cash value. If this is true it
is easy to foresee that the result is liable
to fail as an "EcjuaL Taxation" meas
ure. In the case of farmers and si.iall
property owners, of villages and cities,
all of their property is visible and open
to inspection. It consists of farms,
cattle, farming implements, horses, or
small stocks of goods which may be
readily seen cind appraised. In the case
of large property holders a very large
proportion of their property consists of
an invisible sort bonds, money, stocks,
notes, 3tc, all of which may easily be
transferred or sent to other states for
investment. Of course this is wrong,
but it is a fact and will remain a fact,
and must be met as such. Any means
that may be taken to prevent this
should be and will be upheld, but we do
not believe that to raise the . assessed
value of all visible property will accom
plish the desired result.
If the Commission insists upon the
Supervisors doing this the burden of
the small holders is most certain to be
increased. Those of the large holders,
most able to bear the burden, will not
be materially changed by these methods.
It may be best to defer judgment until
these measures shall be tried, but there
is a growing conviction that very much
of the so-called "tax reform" "and
"equal taxation" agitation has had lor
its object tho keeping of one set of
office holders in ollice and another set
of fellows out.
Meanwhile new discoveries are being
made as to what has been done with
the moneys that we have been raising
by heavy taxation. It now is shown
that tho Military push, including
Quartermaster General White, not only
used up about all of the $500,000 ap
propriated as a war fund, an enormous
sum in itself, but that the fund raised
by taxation for the general expenses of
the State .Militia was also used up and
overdrawn by !?10,000. This leaves n
deficiency of that amount that tho tax
payers must make up in addition to
what has been paid out. It is also
claimed by those who have investigat
ed the matter that a large amount of
this deficiency was caused by illegal
use of the State's money. Among
other things it has been shown that the
members of the Military push allowed
their friends to travel over the State
for pleasure or private business, paying
all expenses out of the public moneys.
This, with the 8 10.000 stolen by the
board through tho pretended sale of
Military supplies, accounts for a goodly
portion of increased taxation, and it is
certain that tho public will never learn
just how much of this sort of scandal
ous work has taken place during the
past two years of State mismanage
ment. It is certain these abuses must be
corrected. It is also certain that the
republican party of the Stato does not
seek to uphold those who are responsi
ble in any manner. It is also equally
certain that the party will seize tho op
portunity at the ensuing conventions
and election to put level-headed busi
ness men in charge of State affairs who
nro able and willing to work out a plan
of tax reform that will be safe and
conservative, and give us an adminis
tration free from thievery and scandals.
