No. 41
TO PRINT TAX
ASSESSMENTS
county commissioners have
power to publish per-
sonal tax list. 1
A proposition Is being discussed
hero in Lincoln County, which should
rccelvo tho most caroful attention of
Iho Boarjd of County Commissioners.
It is that tho names and addresses of
ovory taxpayer in Lincoln County be
printed in a newspaper togothor with
tho amount, of personal property re
turned by each. This list would not in
oludo real estato returns. The legis
lature sovoral years ago passed a law
allowing tho County Board of Com
missioners to havo such a list printed
and several counties in tho state at
onco prepared such lists and had them
prlntcfl. Wo "aro informed tliat tho
matter has passed tho experimental
stago and that tho ovldcnco now shows
that if a man knows his return is go
ing to bo examined by his neighbors
and friends ho is going to bo more
careful to mako a propor return. Those
who have tried it claim it secure-3
many times tho cost, in added tax re
turns. The roturns for the towns and
tho county should be listed soparatly.
If not too much work to mako up tho
returns in that way tho lists should
bo prepared so they could bo pub
lished in the different papers of tho
county. The people of Brady are inter
ested in tho tax foturns of that com
munity and tho Brady paper can give
this list tho greatest publicity. So wit'1
tho other towns. Sometimes tho coun
try list is published in papers in differ
ent parts of the 'country and gome
times in one or more of tho county
seat papers wheh have a general cir
culation. In some counties tho school
officers are back of tho proposition
as it gets more money for tho schools.
In other counties tho, Farm Bureau
has takenMt upas .a crying need "in
ipromollneialtzaUonbf taVbur'&oTisT
Tho whole proposition rests on the
Justice of equal taxation and is an
attempt to uncover tho places where
taxable property is being covered
up.
