1U2'. PRICE; a Centn Hoover Says We Must Quit Looking ToCapitolforCures BristoVs Tax Problem Time Has Come When Washington Can Cure All ills PRAISES ADVERTISING In all ages and in all countries the problems of taxation have been tiie subject of controversy and endless discussion; payment of taxes is not the pleasantest of experiences, but yet they have to be paid, so that the experience Bristol is now going through is only in line wiih similar ones that have been met by people all down the corridor of time. Recognizing this situation and the delicacy which surrounds any transaction in which money is concerned, should it not be the duty of every citizen who desires to see the cost of his local government equitably distributed among the property owners and citizens, to uphold the hands of those who It is Playing Fundamental responsibility of the reassessment of the Borough Part in Economic thrust upon them and co-operate as far as possible w4th the County Commissioners in seeing that all parts of the Borough and all property is fairly and justly dealt with? There are many of our taxpayers, we are sure until they received their tax notices from the assessors, had paid little or no attention to the w'ork on this subject, which had been going on in the Borough, and for their benefit, will tell the story. The Borough for many years had not been a self-supporting proposition; more money had to be found from taxation if it was to meet the cost of government from its own moneys. Then again there was a long standing opinion in affect the assessments of the Borough unequal; they had not been materially changed for many years and no co-ordination had existed betw'een six assessors of the Borough in arriving at values of properties upon assessments were based.

To meet the demand for more revenue for the F3orough and greater uniformity of assessment, our local authorities took advantage of the triennial year (w'hich permits the reassessment of property for tax purposes), to go to the County Commissioners, asking for an increase in assessment and an equalization of same so each property owner, as near as possible, will pay his share of the burden of government. To facilitate this work tlie Burgess and Town Council suggested a plan of having a valuation of the property made in order to see just what the taxable assets of the Borough were. No local real estate experts could be found to undertake the work, so they secured the services of men living outside the Borough, but familiar with its property, whose experience in the real estate business amply justified their selection to make the suggested valuation of the Borough. This w'as probably the wisest thing which could have been done for it insured the judgment of men who looked at our property from an entirely disinterested standpoint and without knowledge of what previous assessments had been. First these men had the Borough Card Indexed, each property inspected for its improvements, number of rooms, general condition, its frontage on one or more streets; all possible information w'as gotten together and available to the valuers before they the properties, for the purpose of putting a valuation upon them.

The work of the valuers covered a period of many months during which they had the advice and judgment of all local men dealing in property, who, while to assume any responsibility themselves, were still willing to give to the valuers the benefit of their judgment. We doubt if ever a town was as carefully and intelligently valued by men of greater experience than was Bristol during the past year. (CoutimuMl on Fuiir) System HOUSTON, Texas, May of Cotnnierce today told the country to quit looking toward Washington for cures for all its ills. are confronted with the daily demand to extend government in order to cure abuse or Hoover said, addressing the 21st annual convention of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World. arm of the federal government is a poor cure for abuse, for it at once becomes restraint of liberty and it cannot operate even to restrain evil without bringing about some instance of opprcs.sion,” Hoover asserted that the country needs to its mind turned off national government as a remetly for ills.

It is hard lo get away from the government cure idea, according to Hoover as knows of some ill iu the other business that ought to be cured right we can decentralize thought onto State and municipal governments, we shall automatically stop the growth of federal he continued. In opinion, the test of wholo economic and social system is its capacity to cure its own abuses. He held that if the country is to be wholly dependent government to cure wrongs, shall have by this very method created an enlarged and deadening abuse through tiie exten- Hion of bureaucracy and the clumsy und Incapable handling of delicate economic and moral American business, according to Hoover, needs a lifting purpose greater than the struggle of materialism. It he added, tiner regard for the rights of otliers, a stronger devotion lo obligations of citizenship that will assure an improved leadership In every community and in the nation. Hoover showed that advertising is playing a fundamental part in the American economic system and that through this medium living standards have been raised, advertising is tho hand maiden of mass he said.
