THE QUESTION OF TAXATION . The largest question with which the j public has to do now-a-days is the ( . question of taxation and it is not so much with the amounts taxed for as with the matter of collection and assessment. Every municipality carries [ a large amount of delinquent taxes on . the books and every municipality has | also, in its lists of taxpayers, two classes, one which pays promptly every levy upon them and the other which pays when . compelled to Or at the last possible moment or not at all. It is to the'l^st two classes that J®*rry public officials who have to do with , the collection of taxes, cafer^ andf the result is that the municipalities struggle along with the handicap of uncollected assets running into large sums, [ because the favor and the votes /of " these latter two classes is sought at , the expense of the municipality and also at the expense particularly of ' : those who pay regularly And prompt- j j ly, whose favor public officials do not I ^ seem to regard as worth having. | ^ It is particularly true now that the , delinquents, are carried at the expense ] of those who pay, because the amount | the delinquent each year is reassess- , ed in the budget of the succeeding , yen iv the new law governing munici- | pal finances requiring this, and the , prompt taxpayer actually suffers for , his virtue by being compelled to pay , the delinquents' share of the municipal expenses as well as his own. 1 , There must' be," also, a radical 1 change in the method of assessment < if the prompt taxpayer is to receive i his dues. Land should' be valued i equitably everywhere on the same j i basis and personal tax should be lev- : ied upon all personal property. Poll ' ; ® tax- should also he assessed upon ! i every voter and the collection of both i ' personal and poll tax should be strict- I * ly enforced. There is plenty of law i i for this. This would require on the i J part of each assessor an annual exj amination and review of real and per- t , sonal property . and • a revaluation j wherever and whenever necessary. It i would also require of each assessor I ' that he check up the population and 1 > see. to it- that every voter is assessed : 1 each year and that the dead and those I j removed from the town or taxing dis- ( riet should be have their names re- < , moved from the list. Where this j careful review does not occur each i 1 year, the municipality is likely Li .pay t

county and state school tax upon * values which do not exist and to have I •polls counting in which are uncollect!- ® ble and other omitted which should be 0 collected. 1 It is clearly necessary that the t prompt taxpayers, impress upon the 1 minds of public officials that their 0 votes. and influence da- count at elec- * tion^tirae as much, as those of the non-taxpayer and thus persuade the 1 attention to the matter of collecting r and assessing taxes which should be 1 given. > In commission governed cities,' as wc understand it, it is not necessary to maintain the old order of things, the commissioner in charge of finances may take charge of the whole matter and employ such clerical assistance as he may require and -give .the same attention to it as a man would to his private business, the exof which would make it necessary for him- to collect his bills promptly. Urgent efforts at collecj tiorland the stpct enforcement of the, on delinquents would bring in the greater part if not all of the money every year and spve thousands of dol-i in interest. If a property should - sold for taxes and bioSn by the municipality, it should be takfen possession of and whatever income could derived from it should go to its credit Tax sales would not, theri be farce, excepting as they place a c)efl inite lien against the property sold. I If no other way can hie devised to u secure active action to these matters, I the prompt taxpayers everywhere I should organize and refuse to pay un- r til the laws against delinquents are i | actively and efficiently iftiforced. City r j debts everywhere are piling up not ^t so much because of the money appropriated and expended, but because of i- > the borrowing of money in antiqipation'of nnpaid taxes and the accunui- t of a floating debt and interest charges which should not be neccs- q sary. . "* t Another method which might help i would be for the officials of municipalities to refuse to obligate the mu- f nicipality for necessary expenses un- j til all citizens realized their responsi- f to the extent of paying- their t share of the expenses as indicated in' £ their tax bills. Another thing which may be indicated by "this condition, is that tax j assessing and collecting officials j should be independent of the annual t election by being appointed on merit .
