Letter From F. C. Tracy.
Beaver Okla. Oct. 2O 1898.
Editor Beavkr Herald
D.'ai Sir:- In your issue of last week
was an article in which it win stat-
ed that a "rumor is current reflecting
upon the integrity of certain coun-
ty officials and candidates in intim-
ating their allinnce with the tax raise
because it increased their salaries.
As an opposing candidate against
one of the parties referred to iu your
article I have not hesitated to state
openly m position upon tho ques
tion of these raises and tho extra
salaries created by them and us tho
article if uncontradicted would inti-
mate that I am attacking tho integ-
rity of tho parties referred to and
there being no paper here to defend
the candidates upon my ticket I re-
spectfully ask space in your paper in
which to reply.
In order to constitute tho act of
such an attack I desire to state tbat
the parties should not claim it to bo
an "attack upou their iutegrity" when
any person takes an issue against
them upon any of their official actions
whice can bo proven by tho records
to bo facts. If this is not allowable
then every person in this county who
has criticised tho actions of an official
has boon guilty of such an attack.
rDuring this campaign I have nevar
m udo the assertion to any ouo that
the connty officiers were "alliod with
the Territorial Board in mating these
raises." I have stated though" hat
whilo I did not believe our officials
were implicated iu the- raises tho rec-
ords show that they havo taken ad-
vantage of tho raises alter they were
made and have drawu an extra sal-
ary created by them are drawing it
over the opposition of tho commis-
sioners and are drawing it whilo its
legality is undecided and will not be
decided until the suit instituted by
tho taxpayers against the raise is fi-
nally determined.
That the salaty is drawn hy rcison
of the raise no one can now dispute.
SCO
rotary of tho Territorial Board and
winch I exQthit to you is proof cou-i
elusive of tho fact.
That it could not havo been drawn
unless the raijo was made is also con
chisively proven when the f icts are
known that our county heforo the 84
percent raise had a valuation over
$400000 short of an nmoutit that
would havo pctmitted it.
I recall the fact that when (his
question was first uggitatcd over a
year ago that county officials denied
positively that the raise created tbo
salary. They claimed then that the
raise had nothing to do with it. Acd
that our county had a greater valua-
tion before the raise than had Pawnee
county befere llio raise.
W. I. Drummond in tho Beaver
Herali) in an article a' tempting to
prove this theory claimed ttiat Paw-
'neo county only had a valuation of
$450000 before tho iuiho that it bad
over iOOO population and that our
county had about 8650000 before the
raise. His conclusions were that this
county having a greater valuutiou be-
fore the raise than did Pawnee that
the officials would have drawn the
extra salary whether tho raise 'was
made or not
Later on. tho figures he quoted were
fouud to bo incorrect. Eroni state
ments from tho county clerk of Paw
nee couuty which I herewith produce
to you it is shown that the valuation
of Pawnee county before tho raise
was $802360 over 8460000 greater
than' the statement gave it and that
tho populafiou was only S350
A litto later the county attorney
iu an open letter published in the
couutyfpapcrs stated that "there was
a serious doubt ns to the legality of
the extra salary and that until the
questions involved' shill be passsd
upon by the courts the commission-
er should refuse to allow the afore-
safd officials any srlary until stich a
time as at tho old rate of salary the
uniount due should equal tho amount
pruvioubly paid" and yet iu tho fact of
this statement the bills for extra sal-
luvo
been drawn for nearly two years
That llicsfl tax raisen nre unjust your
article couccdes so wo are agreed upon
this point. That they havo "increased
tho labor of these officials" we can also
agree upoii if you will concede that the
"incrcised lnhor" has been caused
through tho efforts of tho taxpayris to re-
sist tho payment of tho extra taxei cre-
ated by it.
But upon your statements quntid be-
low permit me to take issue with you.
You stftto that " iu 1837 tho valuation
in each county or tho territory as fixed
by tho terrilorial hoard cf equalization
was 23 per cent higher than if the board
had equalized and Dot rated! tlie as-
sessed valuation." You lurthef state
that " the condition is tho same this
year except tho raise if higher'"
Your theory places you iu a peculiar
position! We had a horizontal raise in
1SD7 of 73 per cent raking all property
including money notes household
goods merchandise farming implements
and improvements on uudceded lands
that amount." You do not justtly that
but you indicate that to deduct 23 per
cent from it "would inako it just nnJ
the officials fairly entitled to tho extra
salary." Your theory compols you to
condemn a 73 per cent horizontal raise
hut to justify a 50 per cent one. It
compels you to say that it is unjust for
a taxpayer to pay taxco on $1730 for
S1000 of money or othar property ho
had io 1897 hut that it would be jiifctica
for htm to taxes on S1500
Or take this year. Our cattle rep
resenting 75 per cent of our toul wealth
are ratsd to an average of $1540 per
head while those ol Pottawatomie coun-
ty tho basis county are nssefsed nt
$12.79. Al.hough tho domestic cattle
of the last two counties nro worth at
' it
least 10 to 20 percent more than nio our
ranpo cattle. But under your theory;
to lower these valuations 23 or some
other percent would bring them down
to a just valuation. And yet if wo low-
er them the same inequality will exist.
Beaver county cattlo would bo asecbseJ
at 811.91 Pottawatomio county at
510.87anl Oklahoma county ut S9.So.
Our cattle aro assessed this year t'X-
nctly 10 pc'rcetit higher than ure the do-
nicMio cattlo of Pott county our hogs
20 percent higher our wagons 35 per-
cent higher our gold watches 93 per-
cent higher mid silver watches 45 per
cent higher and our money note mort-
gages merchandise household goods
farming implements improvements ou
undceded lands aud all other property
are assessed at 81 percent higher.
Our prairie lnuds are assessed within
80 percent of their farming lands the
best Unite in tho Territory.
Further if the boundary linec cf Pott
county were extended around this county
our property assessed at their valuations
assessing our lands at the sama price of
theirs and all our other property accord-
ingly our valuation would still fall over
SU8000 short of tho valuation pluced
upon U3 by reason of the 84 percent
raise.
Audi herewith exhibit to you certi-
fied copies of the assessment records io
order to prove my csertions.
Can you see any justico in this valua
tion?
Can you prove that there is not an
cdual injustice between this county and
G'rccr tho county upon whoso valuation
the extra wlary is now being drawn ac-
cording to the Governor's report and
tlie only county iu this Terrt ory whose
valuation was lowered?
Can you prove that a further reduc
tion ol -J or any other percent on
Greer county and a like reduction from
tho 81 percent raise of this county'
would be a' just equalization botweeu
theso two counties?
Can you prove that a reduction of 23
or auy other percent when applied to two
or more counties would coriect an ine
quality existing iu the valuations before
tho valuation waif made?
How can you even determine a per-
cent reduction that would creato a just
qualizfalion when the faels exist that
the. Territorial board has nuver yet at
tempted an equalization between the
spceiriit item3 of property of tho Terri-
tory but have alwayn made a horizontal
raise ou all property alike and did bo iu
1898 and tho facts exists that 75 per-
cent of our properly is dow assessed 10
percent higher than like property io ouo
county Jof lower Oklahoma and 13
percent higher than another.
tlifeso inequalities exist nnd we
know they do I have never yet heard of
utiy known rulo whereby a certain per'
cent reduction equally cpplicd to ibel
valuation? wuulij cortcct the inequality
nties which it fitiempts to justify

Tho pqoplo or this county bnlieve these
raises to ho illegal They know they
nre unjust and if either men any Hilary

will Mill exist that tlictux raise created
the salary that it is still being drawn
and tliati'thcir legality is not determined

Respectfully
P. U- Truer.

we are agreed J pen this point. But
111 tho sntno paragraph he asserts that
" the records show" the officials arc

a statement which be certainly
knows to bo wholly untrue for if the
commissioners were uuwiHine: to al
low tho salaries they would t-implv
reject the bills ahd compel tho offi
cials to sue fur their salaries and Mr.
Tracy is sufficiently acquainted with
our present board to know tbat they
1'iumiJiiy 1 civet vvurv Dill WHICH llicy
believe to bo Ilegal jr unjust. And
is he not attacking the integrity of tho
commissioueiii as well as grossly mis.
representing them whnn Iih UNserls
tbat they nre allowing bills Jovr
their own opposision"?Tbo rest o'f Mr.
Trncy'e long a'rticlo is devoted to un
attempted proof that tlie increased
salaries aro a creation of thq taisc
the ouo proposition on which we dis-
agree. While it ia practically imma-
terial whether such is or Is not the
case as it is tho intent of the law to
base salaries upon the equalised val-
uation we take time aud sjiaco to ex-
plain full' why we do'iiot coticiuVr
tho raise responsible for tho salaries.
Jlr.Tiaey submits many iigures in
suppoit of his position but leaves
us" no records to establish the cor-
rectness of bis computations. This
matters not however as we admit tho
raise to be wrong and hole simply
that the several classes of property
ill each" county have suffered the
bSatc injustice To make our position
plain it is necossary to call attention
to the different powers which have to
deal with the valuation of our proper-
tythe aseea-Or the towiibbip county
and Territorial boards of Equaliza-
tion. Tho duties of each ot' these
powers are as follows;
First it is tho prrctice of tho asses-
sor to ycuro ftom each' individuil
taxpayer a sworn list of al lis or her
taxable property and to vahlo it no
cording to tho basis agreed upon by
tho board of assessors at their meet-
ing held for that purpose. But the
nssessor" being human is liabbto eir.
Ho may through pnjudice or other-
wise tusess one pe rson's piopcrty at
a higher valuation than property of
the samo class belonging to other
parties and for Ibis ponsible eril the
statute provides a remedy fn tho form
of II
TOWNSHIP JtOARD 01' KQUiYlZATION'
with power to' equalize as be-
tween individuals. It is to this board
that the individuil who feels ag-
grieved in lha matter of assessment
must appeal and if he can show that
tho assessor has placed a higlier val-
uation on his propet ty tlisu on prop-
erty of tho same clas belonging to
others it is their duty to reduce tho
assessment. No other board has
power to equalize as between indi-
vidual. It is presumed that each'
taxpayer wjioso property has been
overvalued by the assessor will tube
advantage of the remedy thus pro-
vided bylaw for bis protection and
that consequently when this board
has finished its work all property iu
the township has been pleeej 0n an
equal basis of valuuhm. Hut it tn.iv
bo that property of ono or more
classes have been balu'ed higher or
lower in this thai in the next town-
ship or than the aver.igc throughout
tho county and for tho correction of
this evil the statute has created the
COUNTY HOARD OV EQUALISATION
To this board is delegated tho
power and upon it imposed the
duty of equalling us between the
several townships. Tt is their duty
to .ee that pronertv of each senamtn

Mr. Tracy merrily chirps thnt onr

just fur n taxpayer to pay taxes on
