Equalization of .Taxation
Our county judge is of the
opinion that by faT the most im
portant and also the most difficult
task of the county judges of Ore
gon is their work on the Board of
Equalization.
"The statute of Oregon expressly
states," he says, "that property
shall be assessed at its cash value,
which is obviously the only honest,
correct and just way. Neverthe
less, to this date the statute has not
been followed ' and we find the
property of the state assessed all
the way from ten per cent to one
hundred and ten per cent."
The purpose of the resolution of
fered by Mr. Springer and adopted
at the recent commissioner's con
vention, was to stimulate the state
board of tax commissioners in their
efforts to enforce a legal assess
ment. We have thirty-four coun
ties in Oregon and no three coun
ties assess upon the same basis. We
find two that are placed by the
state board at 51; two at 56; two
at 63; two at 66; two at 67; two
at 68; two at 71. Thus we find
there are seven instances where two
counties are apparently assessing
upon the same basis, but not at the
legal standard of 100 per cent. So
the state board is compelled to ad
just their assessment to meet
twenty-seven different atandards
used by the thirty-four county as
sessors. "Is it wise to continue the inequal
ity, the injustice and confusion of
our present practice of law evasion,
or should we all stand together for
lawful assessment?" asks the judge.
