Malone, Tax Commission Chairman, Explains Purpose of Readjusbnent With the actual work of reassessment of real property in Cook county about two-thirds completed, William H. Malone, chairman of the Tax Commission of Illinois, by whose order the Cook county reassessment is being made, expresses confidence that the result will be a boon to the vast majority of the million or more property owners in the county. "A small minority benefited under the old system whereby political debts were paid by favors in the form of low assessments; the rest stand to Rain by the orderly, fair assessment in proportion to true value which the tax commission ordered," said Mr. Malone in a statement issued this week. Inquiries at the Chicago office of the tax commission indicate a widespread misunderstanding of both the object and effect of the reassessment, according to Mr. Malone, who was responsible for the original order and for the rules under which the reassessment is being made and who is following its progress with closest attention. Eatabli1h Fair Value 11 , Many property owners have gained the impression that under the reassessment all taxes in Cook county will be collected on the 100 per cent cash value of their property," said Mr. Malone, "That is not the case. It is true, the first step must be to find with absolute impartiality the fair cash value of all property. Rule 14, laid down bv the commission to guide the reassess.inent, instructs the assessors just how this is to be done. Every step in the finding of the 100 per cent fair value is a permanent public record. When all property has been valued by that yardstick, then the assesssors and board of review must Paul Perez is titling "Children of the determine what percentage of the fair Ritz,"_ picture which will co-star Dor- cash value shall be taken as a basis othy Mackaill and Jack Mulhall. for the collection of taxes.

Miss Corcoran's Room Holds Valentine Party S afety Valentine Urges P .Js to be Careful centage is applied to a fair and uniform list, we will lift a part of the load from the shoulders of tqose who have been unfairly taxed. Tax-dodgers will continue to fight the order as they have been doing, but the ordinary citizen for whose sake this order was issued, will have no cause for complaint. Find Great Inequalities "The situation is simply this: great inequalities had grown up in the assessment of real esate in this county. Where one man in a block gets his property assessed at next to nothing, his 'n eighbors' taxes .are raised as a result. That the condition was P"eneral is shown by the thousands of complaints against the 1927 assessments that came to the tax commission, by the more than one hundred thousand complaints filed with the county board of review, and by the forty odd thousand cases actually filed in county courts. Only by a reassessment could this condition be corrected before 1931." There is a nation-wide interest in the ~pplication of Rule Fourteen, the Malone plan, under which the reassessment of real estate in Cook county is being made, while within the st.ate other communities which complain . of assessment unfairness are following its progress closely, the state tax commission reports.
