~ ———e "CITY AND COUNTY TAXES. Action of (he Stato Board of Lqual- izations Commissioner Galloway and the Hon. R. P. Der- rickson. [mportant Statement by Mr, Der- rickson Regarding the As- sessment of Chicago, Letter from the Hon. A. I. Galloway. The nll-abgorbing subject of the Btato assess- ment wad under discussion in tho Board of Coun- ty Commissionors, and Mr. Galloway sald that hio was not prepared to admit that tho aesess- meut of Cook County was oxcesslve. A TrinoNm reportor yostordsy intarviowed tho Hon. R, P, Dorrickuon, the mombor of the Btate Board of Equalization from the Wost Bide, in order to ascertain thatgentloman's opinion on the subjeot, and tho conversation may bo thus stated ¢ Roporter—A\r, Derriokson, did you notice what Mr, Gallowny sald In the Bonrd of Connty Com- missioners about the assossment of Cook County not boing oxcessivo ? Mr. Dorrickson—Yos, I did. I know Mr. Qallowny vory well ; hois a porsonnl friond of nuine, and malkos o vory excellent Commissionor, Ile, however, overlooks certain facts, 1f the asyessmonts for Stato purposos was n full ono, at tho nctunl cash voluo of tho proporty in tho Btato, Mr. Gallowsy would be ri ht Reportor—1low much do you valuo the taxable proporty in tho Btate at; I moan at its cash valuo? 3r. Derrickson—I do nob know; bat should oot suppoao it to bo less than $3,000,000,000. Reportor—Thon the assossmont of tho Stato is but & partial one. Mr. Derrickson~If;I am right in myJestimato, tho gross nssossment of $1,200,000 of taxables Is only 40 per cont of the roal value, If Mr, Gialloway will caleulato a moment, ho will find that if £285,000,000 bo 40 per cent of the full value, then the full valuation nt the same rato would put our taxablos at £712,600,000 ; and I think Mr. Galloway would admit that to bo ex- cessive, Toporter—Did the State Board acknowledge that tho nesessment was below & cash valua- tion? Mr. Dorrickson~I tried to got the Bonrd to do g0, but failed ; whilo they all persoually admit- ted the fact, thoy rofused to go on the record, saying that it would look bad. TRoporter—Did the Auditor oxpross any opinion ou this subject ? Ar. Derrickson—In his report, a yoar or more 0g0, ho estimatod tho valuo of tho taxable prop- outy at $2,600,000,000. I find that some per- sons, who kuow that the property in Uook Conn~ 1y is worth more thou £285,000,000, do not un- derstund how that valuntion can therefore be oxceseivo; but theso persons will readily undor- stand it when they romember that tho whole as- sessment wos on & basis not higher than 40 per cent, and ou the assumption that Cook County b 60 por cent additional which would be taxed if tho assossment was on a cash valuntion. Reporter—As the nggrogate assessment re- turned by the Assessors wag only nominally in- croased, how was it managed whon $142,000,000 were added to Coolk County ? Mr. Derrickgon—A corresponding sum was deducted from tho soveral Congressional Dis- trict, and the sharo of each district deducted {from the several counties. Roportor-—~That is to eny, the asseasment, as roported by thoe Assessors for the other counties, was reduced in tho same amouut that it was added te Cook County 7 Mr. Dorrickson—Yes. Roporter—1Ihou 1lioss countion outoido of Cook County got rid of 141,000,000 of their own aeossmonts, and had a liko sum added to Cook, thus sccurivg that much more revenue from Cook, aud that much cxemption for them- sclves. M., Derrickson—That was tho effact. Reporter—Do you unrposo Mr. Galloway un- flerstood this matter fully 7 Mr. Derricksou—I do not think he could. ‘What mado the romark more surprising, coming from him, was that e wes Chairman of the County Committee on Equalization. When our assessment was before him, le eox- amined it carefully, and, in somc instances at least, roduced the ssscssment ns mado by tho Assessors, Ho then roported the assesemont of €144,000,000, which was sent to Springfield as foir'and_just ssscssmont, aud I cannot see hoy, if Lo undorstood the mattor, ho can now sy thint, to double tho assossmont cor~ titied to by himself ag just aud proper, is not ex- cessive, Reporter—r. Dertickaon, what was the fool- tng toward Chicago ot Springfleld ? St Dorrickwouet hiad 1ot boon thiore bt a few hours when I found that thero wasa pur- posa to mako Chicago pay heavily. At first thero was talk of making our essessment 400,000,000, Witk my colleagnes, I tried for a long timo to romovo this focling, aud by arguniontjand ron- #oning to gain a fair hoaring. ~ 1'he case, how- over, had beon “ sot up long before the meot- ing of tho Bonrd, W'hore was somothing bobind the Bourd thut drove itonin the purpose to mako Chicngo a victim. It was claimod that fiv. | people in one-half the State were poor, ane thy upin thé north everybody was rich. | We had at last to moke an_open nud direct fight, and the result is now public. Reportor—What do you think about the taxa~ tion of capital stock Mr. Derrickson—I am not a lawyer, and do not undertake to §h'u legnl opinions; but I bave no doubt that thut purt of the Hovenue fuw ig unconstitutionnl, The Coustitution pro- viles for taxing tangiblo property, by valuation ; but es regards occupations and purchases, it wus never intended to tax them by valuation, Reporter—Mr. Dorrickson, aro "there any per- iuxmkn Chicugo intercated 1n auy of these rail- tonds built in part by county aund town sub- acriptions ? Alr, Derrickson—I do not know. " Reporter—There is tho Chicago, Danville & Vincennos Enilrond , was that jobbod through by Chicago parties ? Mr. Darrickson—1I know nothing about it. LETTER FROM Mil.
