System of Administering ! Tai Matters The Newark Evening News recently j published the following analysis of the f taring machinery of New Jersey /and j the writer has evidently given the mat- ^ ter careful thought and investigation : "Mayor H. Otto Wittpeun, of Jersey t City, and other earnest advocates of t equal taxation are opposing the abolition of the county boards of taxation. Their reasons have been submitted to the committee having the bill in charge in the following form :

The ideal which is desired to attain in the taring system would be realized when each unit of value pays its own . share of the cost of government. The tax laws of this and all other States in the Union were crude, and ever since iU*e> a State. jjas. laws have bean undergoing a' refining \ process ever reaching toward the ideal. j\ Various systems hsve been introduced \ tried and abandoned, and new ' systems inaugurated until today a system is in vogue which is to some extent patterned after our jury system which - Is famous the world over as a dispenser c oT jus' ice. The system in brief consists of ' officials who determine an amount of tax to be levied against the various parcels of property which come under their jurisdiction. From their determination an appeal can be taken to the next higher 'authority which is constituted as a County^Board of Taxation ; from their determination a further appeal can be taken to the court of last resort, which is the Board of Equalization of Taxes. This is probably the most concise description that can be given of our present taxing PILLS A GAP. The[Oounty Board of Taxation whicn has direct jurisdiction and control over the local assessors fills a gap which has aristed heretofore in the taxing system, placing an independent body of men in position to review the work done by the assesore, precluding the possibility of favoritism shown to an assessor's friends or punitive assessment for his enemies or opponents. Thejnecssaity for control over assessors, is a permanent necessity under the present system where the assessor may depend for continuance in office upon his ability to reward his friends and punish his opponents. Again, the equalization in the distribution of the burden of taxation between taring districts is a matter which necessitate* a permanent authority endowed with [power to prevent the auborities of any municipality in a county from evading their juat share of the expenses of the larger political sub-divisions. The temptation to shirk a juat share of county and State taxes becomes most intense wnen it is desired to expend an increased amount for local purposes, and evade public censure on account of increased taxation. The duties involved in supervising the work of assessors ; examining tax lists for|tbe*detactioo of errors or wilful attempts to evade peying a just share of the common burden ; correcting all faults; determining the rates which shaU be applied in order to produce riw necessary funds to maintain the government in all Its branches ; the examination of cases[in which compute* la Katie of injustice to the individual er to the taring district ; trying Of the oases where reduction is demanded ; the trying of cases where increase Is demanded, either circumstance requiring special investigation involving possible examination of public rec-

ords; examination and appra'ssl of ' properties involving expert consultation and other details changing with each new case. REQUIRES MUCH-ATTENTION. These phases of the work involved in supervising taxation requires the continual attention of authorities endowed with the powers sod duties of the present 'county tax' boards. Even in those counties having the smallest r amount of ratable* in our State a very 1 great deal of time must be devoted to | the work by each member of the board. and where the valuations approach the ' maximum, it becomes necessary for r the [members of the board to devote r practically their entire time to the ' work involved. Should the work be delegated to 1 other officials, it would surely suffer in ; proportion to the other business which ; those officials are in duty bound to , transact In work of this character, it is evident to tne most casual observer that men especially trained to cope with this class of work would render most invaluable services, and that experience is a great factor in the qualifications of one serving in the capacity of county tax commissioner, and the unwisdom of displacing an exp'rienced man and settling his duties upon a man whose training and experience have been along other lines will be readily seen to be erroneous according to all the teachings of experience in political economy. The results obtained since the inauguration of the present system of supervision by county tax boards have been applauded, and it has been stated that the county tax boards have aocomplishedjthe purpose for which they were originated. This is a tribute to the ability and integrity of the members of the various oounty tax boards, but is not a reason for the abolishment. The mere fact that a high standard has been attained is but another reason for their continuance order that the high standard may maintained permanently. The abolishment of the county tax boards would be a step backward in the history of taxation in New Jersey." WEST CAPE MAY
