In the face of positive statu- tory enactment, risquiring assessment at full veto, mid in the face of internc! tion by the attorney general, the its- eessors meet every year, resolve them- selves into it sort of legislative assem- bly, and proceed to fix the smmhimes at which different species of property shall be assesst.d. \The examination 'shows also that in spite of this meeting, the assessments In different counties show great lack of unlfm•mily. Not only is there a lack of uniform- ity but it Is chair that considerable pro- portions of Inseible properly escape taxation. Moneys anti credits are hard- ly touched. Less than $3,000,000 of the vast amount of moneys and credits get on the assessment books.

Mortgages are taken in the names of non-residents or transferred by them, because of the non -taxation of - holders of non-resident holders of mortgages. The COM1111881011 recommends and presents a bill for the establishment of a permanent tux commission of three members, non-political in character, who 81101 devote all tle•ir time to the work. They shiutli assist the county boards of equalization and the state board of equitlization; advise the cotin- ty assessors, direct proceedings, action and pooseention to teiforce laws relat- ing to taxation and to dlreet county attorneys to assist or reniove from of- fice any assessing or taxing officer for failure to perform his duty. The com- mission or one or more members are required to visit each county in` the state during each year. • 'file commission Is strongly of the opinion all. public utilities should be assessed by a central body anti not by assessors that the assessment should be apportioned to counties on a mileage bests and that all real es- tate not included in the right of way, buildings, improvements, danis and power houses, depots, settions, shops, and other buildings erected on the right of way, shall be assessed by assessors in various counties, as is done now. One of - the most important recom- mendations of the cotallliSSioll iS the one retailing to the classification of property. A bill has already lieen drawn and approved by tlw attorney general. The different classes mid the percentagt•s to he applied are: Class 1—Annual net proceeds of mines and mining claims, after de- ducting only the expenses iitecIfied and allowed by section I56.5, 100 per cent of true and full value. Class 2—All household goods, furni- ture, sewing mitt•iiines. musical in- struments IIIR1 furniture'. all agricul- tural tools 211111 machinery, power driven cars, vehicles of all kinds, boats 111111 water craft. 20 per cent. Class 3— Liven:tuck, poultry and all ugricultural produets, stocks of mer- chandise and all sorts, together with furniture and fixtures, 33 per cent. Class 4— All laind, town and city lots with improvements, 111111111(aeturing and mining machinery, fixtures and supplies. 30 per cent. Class 5—Ail moneys and credits se- cured and unsecured Including all state, county. school district and other municipal bonds,. warrants and secur- ities, without any deduction - or offset, provided, however, that the terms, moneys and credits shall not embrace Moneyed capital employed in the banking business by any banking cor- poration, aSSOCilltion or individual in this state, 70 per cent of full value. Class 6—Shares et stock in national bankin_g associations and moneyed capital employed in conducting a bank- ing business by 'any:other' banking cor- poration, association or individual in the state.
