' Holland was the home of free dom of the press In the early 16th century. tsms The County Commissioners de cision to select a committee of three Cass county ousinessmen as advisors in planning a county-wide tax equalization pro gram is certainly a wise move. We believe a program of this nature will not only please the majority of taxpayers in the county, but in the long run will cut the tax bill for many and at the same time increase the monies available to the county, much of which can be poured into the road and bridge fund that has suffered the past few years due to added financial burdens of a county with a fixed levy. Tax injustices within the towns and villages of the coun ty are far greater than most residents realize. Tax records in the assessor's office, all open to the public if any one is in terested or inquisitive enough to investigate, would shock many property owners if they learned lirst hand the valuation placed on the homes, public buildings, and improvements of some of their neighbors. Plans behind the present pro gram does not call for a reas sessment of property. It is a scientific revaluation by special ists in the field. Every home, every building, will be measured, analyzed, checked and re checked, to arrive at its true value. When completed, the sur vey will disclose the actual value of each property within the county. Every valuation will be compiled on the same basis, with location, age, improvsments, etc., all taken into consideration. When the job is complete, every tax paver in the county can be assured that he will be assessed on the same basis as his neigh bor. Mill levies will be set only in an amount necessary to pro vide the funds needed to oper ate city, county and village gov ernments. Fixed charges of operation in most counties, towns and vil lages run about Jhe same each year. Law provides that gov erning bodies shall have the right to submit a budget for operating expenses each year and a mill levy to provide the necessary funds. Low valuations call for high mill levies. That is the position most of the state finds itself in today. But, the tax chislers are numerous, and a good half of the property own ers are carrying far more than their share of the load. Equali zation of assessment values should bring about a lower mill levy, adjusted tax benefits and a better feeling when the tax payer lays his dough on the line at the County Treasurer's office. M While official statistics prove otherwise, men have always taken a great deal of delight in referring to the bad driving habits of womenfolk, as a whole. One man in North Dakota, we read, in planning his new home, decided to include a two-car ga rage. In order to assure the safe ingress and egress of his wife's car, over the door of one garage will be painted, in large letters. "His" and over the other door which is two feet wider will be the word "Hers." This fellow has better control over his wife than the average Cass county man. We can im- Dine what would happen to m 1 if we were so bold as to attempt such a building project. We'd be knocked lower than a sea serpent's belly. So often in the news dispatch es we read of elderly persons wandering around the streets of a city, clad in rags, who are discovered to ba owners of size able fortunes. Recently in another state, a ragged. 77-year-old man, who once complained of a "bad year" because he had to spend i a total of $13,350 on living ex penses, died. When his will was read, it was found that he was the owner of an estate worth $103,000 all of which he left to the Salvation Army because of its kindness to him. -K Similar instances crop up in the news every once in a while. Just what mental processes move such individuals to live in poverty, denying themselves even the necessities of life, re main a psychological puzzle, but after reading that the United States has a large- number of these kind of people, we go out of our way to be kind to every old bum we meet you never know when one of these birds will kick off and leave us a for tune in cigar bands. One of the greatest improve ments ever made within the confines of Plattsmouth is the new stop and go light at Sixth and Main. Nothing but com pliments have been bestowed on the City Council since the new lights were placed in operation by both motorists and pedes trians. It eliminates a bottle neck at this busy intersection that has flared tempers for years. It is not only efficient, but it even looks good. Next thing to get used to is parking meters. Frankly, we don't know how they will work out, but they're worth a try if meters are an answer to pro viding shoppers a place to park their car. Many communities swear by them for a time, at least, a lot of people here will swear at them. RRF Jolianns Places High In Shoot Art Johanns, Plattsmouth sharpshooter, last week posted a 23x25 in placing high among the trap shooters at the Hilltop Range at Omaha.
