TAXPAYERS NOT
ON TAX ROLL
i STATEMENT IS MADE
BY AIR. W1EST
l? Finds Tlint Records Show Many
Ttamcs Missing Trouble Comes
From Failure to Keep Record of
Transfers Posted Bays Fosters
The Bulletin tins received tho fol
lowing statement from L. D. WIcst
In regard to taxpayers on the tax roll:
On account of intimations of IN
legal voting on tho high school site,
In the last two editions of Tho Bulle
tin, I feel It Incumbent upon mo to
stato tho position of those who
favored the Wlestorla site.
In general there can ba no law
passed which In terms will cover ev
ery case that can possibly nrlso un
der It, and cases arising not within
tho letter of the law must bo decided
according to Its manifest Intent. Re
ferring to the qualifications required
by tbo law for school voters In dis
tricts of the second class (as the
Dead district Is), probably It will be
admitted that tho real Intention of
of said law Is to permit all taxpayers
resident within the district to vote
at all school eleclons of tho district
for the obvious reason that they have
a' direct personal financial Interest In
tho affairs of tho district. Unless
such a liberal construction of this
law is followed, approximately from
40 to bO per cent of the resident tax
payers of tho school district are not
eligible school voters at the present
time. This statement Is mado after
careful actual examination by myself
of the 1912 tax roll, as the same ap
peared on May 5, 1913, In the sher
iff's ofllco. This examination showed
as to Center, Kenwood and Park Ad
ditions that approximately tho names
of not to exceed SO per cent of the
resident taxpayers therein appeared
upon tho assessment roll of 1912,
while tho Bend and the remaining
additions were similarly affected to
the extent of about 30 per cent.
In view of this state of affairs, I
submit that If come votes wero im
properly cast for the Wlestorla site,
fully as many wero cost for the other
sito discussed because as above stated
the tax records show a larger per
cent of non-qualified voters In thoso
additions to the city whoro tho oppo
sition to tho Wlesorla Blto was pre
sumably greatest.
However, 1 am convinced that no
Illegal voto wno intontlounlly cast in
tho selection or tho slto or tho bund
election.
(Signed) I D. WIEST.
Agreeing with Mr. Wlest thnt tho
names of many who might and ought
to bo on tho taxroll, by the ncgllgonco
of someone nro not there, Tho Hullo
ttn asked tho county assessor at
Prlnevlllo to Indicate Just what n tax
payer must do to bo sura his namo
la on tho roll and has received from
Assessor II. A. Foster tho following
letter:
"Yours of 10th Inst. Just to hand
and noted, and will beg to say, you
of course know that tho 1913 roils
were compiled by my predecessor,
and tho only reason that I could sug
gest for names not appearing no tho
rolls Is that the record of transfers
wns probably not given duo consider
ation. "1 am at loss to know who would
have tho correction of this matter,
unless It would be tho shorlff, who 1
think would have tho authority to
mako the proper corrections. I will
call his attention to tho matter to
morrow, for consideration.
"As to what local peoplo will havo
to do to get tholr property assessed
In their own name, I will mako
an offort to get every ono's property
properly assessed for 1913, but tho
laxity of tho past In keeping up tho
record of transfers may causo mo
somo trouble. I will nlwajs bo glad
to hear from anyono that has reason
to bcllove that they tuivo been over
looked, or neglected In any way."
