Tax Commissioner
w Urges Publication
of Personal Tax List
State Tax Commissioner W. H. O
rborne has written county clerks a let
ter urginjr them to publish the tax
rolls in their respective counties. He
recently addressed a similar request
to county assessors. As a result he
row testifies that wherever the pub
licity plan " has been tried It has en
larged the taxable valuation of the
county and to that extent has more
equitably distributed the burden of
taxation. County boards have option
power over the law to cause the pub
lication of each taxpayer's property
valuation for taxation purposes. In
some counties where tried it has
opened the,eyes of many to inequali
ties and to much tax shirking.
The state tax commissioner's letter
to county clerks say.v
"It is to be conceded by every one
,-who is, in any way, connected with
the administration of the tax laws of
"this, state, that there s a considerable
amount of property that is escaping
its just burden of taxation. This can,
in a measure, be remedied by concert
ed effort on the part of those whose
luty it is to administer the laws, and
to that end an effort should be made to
ee to it that all property is listed for
- taxation and that none escapes.
"In a circular directed to you under
flate of May 11, 1921, it was requested
that you place before the county board
the feasibility of the publication of the
tax rolls. In counties where this has
fbeen tried, such results have been ac
complished as to clearly, demonstrate
that the plan is a success, and is a real
remedy for some of the complaints
vith reference to high taxes.
"I think we all confess a desire for a
.-reduction in taxes, but it does little
ooil to complain where a remedy is

not suggested. The one great trouble
with the administration of the revenue
law is our inability to compel an equal
listing of property, and if by publish
ing the tax roll, it enlarges the taxable
valuation of your county, then jast to
that extent will the burden be more
equitable distributed.
