MARCH 23, 1927 EXCLUSIVE NEWS DISPATCHES POLK COUNTY NEWS BY SPECIAL CORRESPONDENTS PAGE THREE MERCHANTS HEAR TAX MEN ON NEW LAW Independence, Mar. 23-The first meeting of the Independence chamber of commerce at which the new president K. L. Williams presided, proved to be one of especlal interest. The chamber entertained as Its guests Fred Holman of Dallas, county assessor and Earl L.
Fisher of Salem member of the state tax commission. Holman made short talk on the new law requiring business men to file a financial report with the assessor for purposes of assessment and explained that its chief aim was equivalent to tax burdens and that it was not a new revenue producer. The president then called upon Fisher who elaborated on Holman's talk and explained the law in detail and the use to which the financlal reports would be put. He stated that the bill was sponsored by the special tax committee created in 1925 and was the result of a thorough investigation made by them, and that its chief purpose was to correct the inequalities, in some degree at least, which so evidently existed between different assessments. Not only, he said, were there marked differences between assessments on different classes of real and personal property but also on different property in the same class.
At the close of his talk Fisher volunteered to answer questions on the matter and his hearers were not slow to seize the opportunity The question came up as to whether or not accounts receivable should be reported without regard to whether or not they were all collectable. Mr. Fisher replied that they should be reported at book value with a notation as to their probable worth so that the county assessor might make an adjustment. Mr. Fisher then stated that at a meeting of the tax commission Tuesday morning it was decided to the item of income from the financial report and that it had been further decided to excuse professional men from making the statement.
Fisher was asked what would be the result in all individual case if the report was not made. He then explained that the forms sent out were the tax commission's idea of the best way to get the information and he was not prepared to say what would be done in such a contingency. Fisher believes that returns will be generally made but some of the local men do not agree with him. It was also suggested that the agitation stirred up by the administering of this law would react unfavorably against the income tax. Fisher however, stated that he believed the new law was misunderstood in a large number of cases and that when it has been in operation for a year or two it would meet general approval thru out the state nor would it have any adverse effect on the proposed income tax law.
