BY Also a Comprehensive Statement From an Economic Standpoint of the Much-Mooted Problem. BOISE. Dec H. State Auditor Bartlett Sinclair has made a very careful study of the revenue laws of this state, and has some very positive views on the subject. His attention was called to the discussion of the questions of taxation now going on in Oregon, and a request being made, he very freely stated his opinions. "The question of the. best way to raise money for the administrative expenses of a. state," said he, "has always been of great interest to students of government. The Auditor's department of this state is In receipt of Innumerable reports from the revenue officers of other states and learned essays from theorists from every section of the Country. It is, indeed, a very Intricate subject, and Idaho officials have tussled with It time and time again. "The revenue- laws of our state are very simple. The Legislature, which convene biennially, makes an estimate of the ampunt of revenue likely to be needed for administrative purposes the two succeed ing years. For Instance, the last Legis lature fixed $243,000 as the probable annual expenditure. These figures were arrived at by taking each department and figuring out the sum likely to be needed to carry it through the two years' term. Our laws require each county in the state to pay this total In the proportion which their assessed valuation, as shown by their assessment rolls, bears to the total assessed valuation. "The Assessor in each county, as in all other states, Is charged with the Import ant duty of assessing all property in his county rot exempt. This must be done between January and July of each year. I take it that this law Is pretty much the same as the Oregon law. The As sessors are required to get a statement under oath of all taxable inhabitants showing all property In the affiant's pos session, or belonging to hltn. or belong- lng to any corporation of which such per son Is president! secretary, cashier or managing'agent. the county in which the property Is liable for taxation, a full and accurate description of the property, all shares of stock In any National banking association In the state and all solvent credits unsecured, and certain minor facts which I do not now recall. In order to carry out his duty, the Assessor Is vested with certain Judicial powers and other wise thoroughly fortified to prevent frauds. "All taxable property Is required to ha taxed in our state at Its full cash value. As soon as the assessments are com pleted, the assessing officer is required to record the results of his labor in a record, specifying In detail the classes of prop erty, -ownership and the like, and to flic the record with the County Commission ers on or before July 1 of each year. To this record he Is supposed to make an affidavit as to the thoroughness and accu racy, of the work. - "In July the various Boards of County CommIs3ioners meet to enforce and com pel on assessment of the property within their resoectlve districts at a fair cash value. The clerks of the respective Boards of County Commissioners, which In Idaho are the County Auditors, then prepare abstracts showing the total num ber of items Of property and the value of each in each class, and transmit these abstracts to the State Auditor. The State Auditor, the Governor. Secretary of State, Attorney-General and Treasurer consti tute the Stato Board of Equalization. Some- time in August this board meets and equalizes the valuations of prop erty throughout the state. This is dope by taking .each cln.os of prop erty and raising or lowering lis val uation where it does not appear to he just and equal, compared with the valua tion of other classes of property In that county. The State Board has nlso power to raise or lower valuations of the bulk of the property of any county If It does not accord with valuations reported by the other counties. There is this limlto tlon: The Increases or decreases cannot exceed 15 per cent of the total valuation of the state. "In addition to this work of equalizing, the State Board Is charged with the duty, which Is a very Important one, of assess ing all telephone, telegraph an.d railroad lines and right-of-ways. With this the respective County Assessors have nothing to do. The whole matter rests with the State Board. This Is a fair synopsis of our revenue laws," said Mr. Sinclair. "It is sufficiently stated to afford the basis of my .remarks regarding their opera tion. "In the first place. It will bo observed that the County Assessors are the pri mary and principal officers of our system of taxation. If this official Is honest, fear less and competent, tho work of tho equalizing officials, to whom a. record of his labors are transmitted, becomes pos sible, and quite often merely routine. On the other hand, if he falls for any rea son to obey the law In the discharge of his official obligations. It becomes prac tically useless for the County Commis sioners or the State Bdard of Equaliza tion effectually fo fill in the Interstices and palliate his blunders. "It has been the experience of this state that very few Assessors meet the full requirements of the law. Innumerable reasons may be assigned for their laches, but the fact remains the work of assess ment is seldom more than guesswork, slipshod and frequently dishonest. The abstracts required by law to be filed with the state board are often so palpably unfair and Incomplete as to be no cri terion for any classes- of property to be equalized. Omissions of property subject to taxation, and frequently that class of property, owing to its remunerative char acter, best able to share a portion of the burden of public! expenditures. Is the rule and not the exception in the various county abstracts. In the majority of our counties. In several of which arc Na tional banks, the Assessors fall to return I bank shares, money on hand, office fix tures or any of the paraphernalia of those Institutions. Should the abstracts r be accepted as complete credentials of the items of property In some of our counties, there would be a most deplora ble lack of modern Inventions, conveni ences, necessities and luxuries. In some counties there are -no timepieces, no sew ing midlines, no bicycles, no pianos, no lumber, no money, no liquors, no bar fix tures (although never fewer than a dozen saloons), no machinery, no wagons, no f wool, no wood, no wheat, no oats, no Dariey. in sucn cases, the state board has no power to act; the board cannot raise numbers of Items; they must accept that part of the report as correct, "It is almost "impossible to get a full account of the migratory livestock In our state. It has been estimated that per haps not more than one-half Is listed for taxation. Jllgratory sheep elude in the most unaccountable way the eyes of the Assessors. It would seem that the mo ment the average Assessor beholds a flock of sheep on our many hillsides his vis ion fails. Wa have not yet found a way to preserve his sight in the face of these wily but lucrative animals. To Illustrate th$ laxity in our assessments, I would like to call your attention to the matter of our National bank taxation. And 1 think it will be conceded that If any in stitution should" be required to pay a legal share of the taxable burden it is the banks. There is no class of property so easily concealed as" that which ordi narily belongs to the banks. I am not In the least antagonistic to banking institu tions, but I am forced to consider them tho chief offenders among tax dodgers. Unless those engaged in banking,' enjoying Infinite opportunities to cheat the tax laws, facilitate the Assessors, Instead of misleading them or even worse, bank tax ation will be Inadequate. Their vaults and Intricate system of accounts are im pervious to the wit of the ordinary As sessor, however honest he might be. I think, too, that the great avenues open to the money-lender and note-shaver to get -wealth easily ought to make the case of the bank dodging taxes more rep rehensible than any other, if there are to be degrees In this class of crime. "Wo have nine or ten National banks In our state, and perhaps 23 state or pri vate banking Institutions. In the Na tional banks alone there was on doposjt in September. 1SO0. $3,799.0S3 92. The cap ital stock o these banks amounted to 5550.000. They held a surplus of $200,000 and JWS.614 undivided dividends. They had at loan. J1.3C7.121 73, and 4?i7SG 41 In the shapo of stdeks. Judgments and se curities, and $ra.$ SJ worth of fixtures and of property classed as 'other real estate and mortgages, $145,237 2S; money due from other National banks, $512,631 S3, from state and private banks. $169,343 24; due from aproved reserved agents, $1,269, 013 86; checks and other cash Items. $21. 9G5 57, and still other items, bringing the combined resources of the National banks in the state up to the enormous sum of $3,033,971 C3. "In spite of the array of taxable wealth, our Assessors," said Mr. Sinclair, "only account, lor $329,902 worth of bank shares, and only $149,484 of money on hand throughout the entire state. Including bank and private holdings! The laws of our stato make bahk shares taxable in Idaho, Irrespective of the residence of the holders. "In order to check the evils as far as possible of undervaluation and omis sions of property' and secur& some de gree at least of uniformity and universal ity the last Legislature of the state passed a lew that the tax rate for state and county purposes, exclusive of special, taxes, should not exceed $1 50 on each $100. This law has proven a good one. It had the effect on the Assessors of in ducing them, to tax more property and of placing values at tho legal 'requirement. Of course. It was not an absolute cura tive, but it was a step in the right di rection. Under that law the Assessor know continued undervaluations and der ellctlons Meant a deficit In the county revenues. "From a total state valuation in l&S. before this liw was enacted, of $24,030, 329, the total valuation Jumped to the sum of $46,719,990 39. This latter valua tion Is somewhere near the true Valua tion, although our great mines, not be ing taxed, do not enter into this aggre gate. "Tho temptation to undervalue Is very great in our state. Unfortunately tho counties as a whole are more favorable to the Assessor who places low values than tho one who assesses all property as the laws require, namely, at Its 'full cash value.' The lower the county valua tion the smaller, of course, tha appor tionment for state purposes." When questioned as to his opinion of the system of apportioning the total state levy among tho counties In propor tion to population. Instead of assessed valuation, Mr. Sinclair said he had stud led the matter carefully, but had come to no positive conclusion. One should first of all determine In his own mind tho correct general theory of taxation. The property, or ad valorem, theory is unquestionably well suited to moert the ends of cqhallty of burden if honestly and accurately carried out, but If admln Istt.ed Imperfectly It is unjust and op pressive. Property, per se, owes no duty to pay taxes; it Is the owner. And each individual is suposed to pay taxes in accordance with his ability to do so. This ability is usually measured by his possession. I am aware, however, that some students claim the true test to be the earnings ,or proceeds of an Individ ual's nronertj. "Speaking of tho property tax. Profes sor Sellgman says In his work on 'Taxa tion': ' 'Practically the general property tax as actually administered is beyond 'doubt one of the worst taxes known in tho civilised world, because if. it attempt to tax Intangible, ub well as tangible, things. It sins against the cardinal rules of uniformity, of equality and universal ity of taxation. It puts a premium on dishonesty and debauches the public con science; It reduces deception to a systeni. arid makes a science of knavery: it presses hardest on those least able to pay; It Imposes double taxation on one man and grants entire Immunity to tho next. In short, the general property tax Is so flagrantly Inequitable that Its reten tion can be explained only through Ig norance or Inertia. It Is the cause of such crying Injustice that Its alteration or Its abolition must become the battlo cry of every statesman and reformer.' "I have taken our state and made a, test on paper of the two sytems, tho ad valorem and the population. The pop ulation of Idaho is 161,772, apportioned among the counties as appears in the first column of the annexed tables. The second column Contains the tax levy for state purposes, 1900, as apportioned by the State Board on a basis of assessed Valuation, against the different counties. Tho third column, the per capita tax throughout the Btate by tho ad valorem, or property, system. The fourth column contains the apportionment as It would have been In each county under the pop ulatlon, or per capita, theory, and the fifth column the per capita tax for each county under the population theory. jr5 ccf2 13332 g? &ai " Ills p O J rn O Cogy; COUNTIES. : Sj?p : ? p "2. : s'"2 : w ""r-St- -2 2 "2 2 mn p3 : 3 &S.3 p : : 1 a 1 : 7. : aTf Ada 11,559 $ 27,223 05 $2 35 $ 17.454 09 Bannock .... 11.703 17,356 04 1 4S 17.670 02 Bear Lake . 7,051 7,174 & 1 01 10,647 01 Bingham.... 10,447 14,630 21 140 15,774 97 Blaine 4,900 8,336 SS 1 70 7,399 00 Boise 4,174 3.6S616 85 6,202 74 Canyon 1.... 7,497 16,593 67 2 21 11,320 47 Cassia ....... 3,951 8,014 22 2 03 5,966 01 Custer 2,049 3,343 27 1 63 3,093 99 Elmore 2.2S6 7.650 33 3 35 3,451 S6 Fremont .... 12,821 13,279 05 1 03 19,359 71 Idaho 9,121 9,125 53 1 CO 13.762 71 Kootenai..... 10,216 16.616 50 162 15,426 16 Latah 12,451 21,027 54 1 56 20,311 01 Lemhi 3,446 6,431 09 1 85 5,203 46 Lincoln 1,784 r 7,244 74 4 05 2,693 84 Nez Perces.. 12,748 15,957 49 1 16 20,759 48 Oneida ...... 8,933 10,890 01 1 22 13,488 83 Owyhee 3,801 8.023 60 2 11 5,744 04 Shoshone ... 11,950 11,234 45 91, 17,044 50 "Washington 6.SS2 1L09S 66 1 75 10,391 82 Totals 1161.772l$2i5,O0O 00 $245,000 00 Per capita, basis population. $151 for each county.

When questioned as to the taxation of railroads, Mr. Sinclair said no subject gave the state board so much difficulty as this class of property. There Is no legislation establishing a standard of val uation for railroads beyond requiring them to be assessed at their full cash value, like other property. How to get at the actual cash value Is a very troublesome thing. They are not sold In the market like horses each day and of course different, rules must be applied. Our basis has been a sort of mixture between the cost of construction and probable earning capacity. In both re sults there is necessarily a big element of guesswork I think the Legislatures of each state should lay down some rula for arriving at railroad values. Of coursa as the Assessors have nothing to do with the assessment of railroads, telegraph and telephone lines It follows that tho assessments are uniform throughout tha different counties. There are In the stato 113G miles of road assessed at $3,425,452 50, averaging about $7414 per mile. The high est Is $S750 and tho lowest $1000. The railroads constitute about one-fourth of the valuation of our state and conse quently pay about One-fourth of the taxes of the state government, and a very much, larger proportion of tho county taxes of a number of our counties. In spite of this large Share of taxes there was built In our state kfst year more than 130 miles of road. "My impression Is that the railroads pay more in proportion to other classes of property than .thoy ought. If all classes were assessed as fairly or as highly as railroads then it would not be as unjust as it is now. upon the rail roads'. Could you find another state In the Union whose railroads pay nearly one-fourth of the runhlng expenses of the government?" Mr. Sinclair made the statement that It had been his Intention to for mulate a system of revenue laws for the consideration of the Legis lature, but his time outside of his official wprk had been taken up by the Coeur d'Alene troubles, to which, as Governor Steunehborg'a representative, "he had given, much attention, having spent .up wards of six months at the seat of tho riots and four months attending a subsequent investigation of the matter at Washington.
