It is evident that some property
in Polk County is not taxed as
much as it ought to be. Poor
management of property by its
owners should not be taken into
consideration when it cornea to
taxation.
The Equalization Board which
met here recently for the purpose
of adjusting the taxes equally in
the different townships, has been
the object of much severe criticism.
It is said that in some instances
laud is listed at much less per acre
tuan adjoining lands of the same
value that are held by different
people.
If this is true, then the Board of
Equalization has been guilty of
injustice toward some citizens and
the errors ought ! to be rectified.
before the tax "collector makes!
his appearance. On the other
hand, if it be untrue, then the
Board of .. Equalization has been
unjustly criticized and those who
think they have been taxed un
justly ought to come forth and
prove it or cease their grumbling.
