The board of equalization has been in session this week tit the court house. The board eomista of the jn lge, clerk and assessor. Numerous complaints against assessing notes of local capitalists when foreign capitalists and money brokers are not assessed have been made. We can't see why notes should l:e ascessed in this country when not in all other counties thereby forcing signers of notes to pay double taxes as nearly all mortgages pro vide for payment of all taxes by the mortgagors who are as a rule small property owners. If you have a home worth say $10 J0 it is assessed at $500, about half, while large corporations are assessed at about one-third or less, and you have a mortgage for $750 on the piace, which is assessed at two-thirds its value or $500. Now you are paying taxes on $1000 while the corporations pay on $300 or less as you eau't assess mortgages on their property because notes are held in another county or state.
