TAX BOARD "HARD BOILED" BUNCH, VISITORS THINK

Eldorado, 0.

Many Regret Trip to Courthouse After Their Assessments Have Been Increased A hard-hearted bunsh, unsympathetic and difficult to convince, la the

Wayne county tax board of review,! which is sitting to adjust county assessments in the county assessors' office at the courthouse. Poverty-stricken, land-poor, with long faces and sad tales, their visitors come Into the assessor's office and tell their tales of woe. But they go out bearing longer faces than before. They are the folks who believe their assessments are too high, and come around to unfold their sorrows In the hope of getting a substantial cut in the amount of taxes they must pay next year. - Tell How Poor Land Is Sadly they tell just how poor their land Is, or just how little they have ln: stock In their stores, or the amazingly low figure at which they bought

that town lot and house last year. They pause and look eagerly at the faces of the board, to watch sympathy develop. But do they see any tears streaming down the faces of Messrs. Mathews, Price, Weidner, Judkins and Brooks, who compose the board? They do not! Instead they seem singularly unmoved. They begin to ask sharp. impertinent questions. Sometimes they lower the property slightly, then dive Into the assessment books to find that the applicant has two or three others which he has not mentioned since they are assessed $1,000 or so too low, and by the time they get done placing

these where they ought to be, the petitioner wishes he had not come. He stands around; feeling like there is something wrong. The board briskly , takes up the business of corporation assessments, and at last the petitioner leaves. Tax Is Not Raised "What most people do not understand, in spite of the numberless times it has been repeated In the newspapers by county officials and by everyone who has been interested enough-in the new law to talk or think it over, Is -that the tax rate this year is to be lowered in exact ratio to the raise in assessments, so you may be assessed twice as much and yet pay only the same or a less amount of taxes," says county treasurer Ed. J. Weidner. "If persons would get this fact through their heads; and that the basis of assessment this year is true market value, and that if they come before this board with any less assessment than that we are bound in law to raise them, we would be less bothered and so would they."

WHAT FARMERS DO WITH MONEY BORROWED FROM LAND BANKS

WASHINGTON, June 16. Herbert Quick, member pf the federal farm! loan board, refutes the statement of i persons seeking to destroy the taxexemption feature of the federal farm loan bank system that 90 per cent of the money borrowed by the farmers under the farm loan syste mis used for refunding old mortgages, and denies that Secretary of the Treasury Glass admitted this while a member of congress. "As a matter of fact." said Mr. Quick, "nobedy has been in a position until recently to make anything more than an estimate on this matter, and the estimates of Representatives McFadden of Pennsylvania, who is seeking to remove the tax exemption from the bonds, and Secretary Glass was as good as anybody else's. Recently the federal farm loan board had the proportion of money borrowed applied on old mortgages figured out from the books and the result is very interesting. , East Is Leading "In the Springfield, Mass., district, the amount applied on old mortgages Is 68 per cent of the amount borrowed. For the other districts the figures are: Baltimore, 59 per cent; Columbia. S. C, district. 64; Louisville district, 57 per cent; New Orleans, 56; St. Louis, 64; St. Paul, 66; Omaha, 54; Wichita, 53; Houston, 66; Berkeley, Cal., 68; Spokane, 62 per cent. These computations cover loans to

the amount of 1169,325,520. Out of this sum, $65,100,000 was used for

other purposes than the payment of old mortgages. This great sum was used to pay for fencing, building, materials, live stock, fertilizers, drainage' and many other purposes connected with the development of agriculture. On the average, of every $100 borrowed, $38 was used for these purposes and $62 for the retirement of old mortgages. A study of these figures is very interesting. Develop Their Farms. "The farmers have borrowed a great deal of money to retire their. old mort

gages, but they have also borrowed an J

immense amount wnicn nas gone into the channels of trade for the devedop-

an(j i ment of their farms. They have bor

rowed at a reasonable rate or interest and on very easy terms, at a lower rate of interest and an easier terms

than they can ever get again if congress makes the mistake of robbing the Federal Loan banks of their exemption from taxation." , The proposal to repeal the bond exemption section of the Federal Farm Land bank act was voiced by Representative McFadden of Pennsylvania, Republican member of the house banking and currency committee, and is claimed to have been inspired by the farm-mortgage bankers who fattened on the high rates of interest charged farmers before the last congress established the Farm Bank system, which forced the interest rates down to 5'4 per cent.
