The farm owner as well as the renter. There a few things tha t would lead one to favor a revision a t the present time, particularly those inequalities that County Auditor Wead refers to in his recommen­ dation to the commissioners, If additional funds were necessary for the operation of the county a revaluation would be a wise step. As we view it there are many reasons why the revaluation should be deferred, Ohio has a tax system that is far behind what seme other states enjoy, Ju s t this week we find an association meeting in Columbus to devise a new system that will be approved by the tax payers. Whether such a system is possible -we do riot know yet wc .are safe in saying some change will be made before many years. I t is an undisputed fact tha t no tax law o r tax system has ever been, adopted tha t did not pro­ vide for raising more money than saving from the point of-the tax payer. For this one reason alone we should not attempt a higher valuation a t this time. You can always increase tax valuations on property but few there are who can cite a single tirrie when a re-valuation in this county or any other brought a general re duction. Real estate has .always carried the bulk of the tax load. I t is now time to seek other .sources for in­ creasing revenue, We are soon to have a gasoline , tax without any question. This revenue will take care of our roads. At, the meeting in Columbus1this week an income .tax for every man and woman in the state was urged. Income tax­ es raised by states have Very lpw exemptions and,few will escape. The demand o f the public a t this time is fo r 'a reduction of taxes. The ■public is aroused on this sub jec t We know the com­ missioners have no desire to .force anything on thq public and the same pari be said of our aud­ itor. They have official.-duties th a t must be performed r e v a l u a t i o n o f • PROPERTY LIKELY (.Continued from Page 1) viewed twenty-five or more o f our leading citizens, both towri and township real estate owners and we have not found a single man tha t openly sanctions a re­ valuation a t this time. We give a few of the reasons ad vanced against it: Revaluation is for no other pur­ pose than raising more money. The demand of the time is for lower taxes, federal, state and county, The only way we can keep our taxes from increasing is to keep tlje valuation down. f The present valuation was tak­ en in 1914 when farm and busi­ ness conditions were about as to- day, Consequently no call for a revaluation. To increase valuations on town property will be but forcing rents higher than a t present. Increased rentals, for business property in Xenia or the villages of the coun­ ty only means the consumer must pay this increase for rents in the merchandise he buys. A well, known farmer who lives near the Clark county Hue ex- pressd himself as follows; “All the information the commission­ ers need is to find out what hap­ pened to the commissioners in Clairk county after ordering a re­ valuation. Every member was de­ feated, the County Auditor be­ came to unpopular that he was forced to resign and locate in an­ other county," Your presence at the meeting in Xenia, February 4, will have as much to do with the action of the commissioners as anything, in* fact the commissioners want to hear from you, but not about your complaining after it is over.
