CAKOLER BILL WILL
EQUALIZE TAKES
PROVIDES FOB STATE AND
COUNTY TAX ASSESSORS.
Substitute in Senate for Hall
House Bill Will Pass Up
per Brancb.
Senator Murphy Candler's substitute
bill for the Joe" Hill Hall measure pro
vidlng for a state board of tax as
sessors which was passed in the house
is considered by ibe senate finance
committee a much stronger and more
effective act for equalizing the tax bur
den.
Senator Candler’s substitute provides
that in addition to the state board of
three assessors each county shall have
a county board of assessors. The coun
ty board will puss on the county re
turns, while the state board will pass
on the .state returns.
In the event of differences with any
board, and objection as to any as
sessment made by them, the person or
concern Interested may appeal to the
state board. And their decision will
be Anal. Members of the county boards
are to receive $5 per day while en-
argrd in the work, half to be paid by
the county and half by the state.
Speaking cf his measure Senator
Candler says:
"So question today is eo big and so
Important ns equalization of the tax
burden, and 1 feel ussured that my
substitute makes it more nearly of
achievement tfran the Hall bill*.
"The average man does not object
so stcenuously to the tax rate as he
does to the Inequality of the tax bur
den. When we know that everybody Is
bearing the burden of taxes alike, and
no person oc corporation Is escaping a
Just share of responsibility, then our
resentment passes. I am satisfied that
with both county and state boards of
tax assessors the equalization will fce
more nearly accomplished than by any
method I have cognizance of.**
It la very probable that the senate
wIH pass the Candler substitute.
