• V - ?'..' ••• >•• , SPg. 2, Sec. 2 - Plaindealer - Wed., July 17, 1968 v Revising Assessments The public is reminded that Boards of Review in downstate counties began their meetings on the third Monday in June for the purpose of revising the assessments of property. In its work of revisingthe assessments of property the Board of Review has four important duties: (1) assess all property subject to assessment which may have been omitted from the assessment rolls in the first instance; (2) on complaint in writing that any property described in the complaint is incorrectly assessed, the Board shall review the assessment and correct the same as shall appear to be just; (3) increase or reduce the entire assessment of either real or personal property,, or both, or of any class included therein, if, in its opinion the assessment' has not been made upon the proper basis; (4) hear and determine the application of any person who is assessed on property claimed to be exempt from taxation (such exemptions must be approved by the State Department of Revenue to be final). If a taxpayer has just reason to believe that his assessment is too high, he should file a complaint before the Board of Review. To affect the assessment for 1968 such -a complaint should be filed on or before the first day of August in counties with less than 150,000'inhabitants and on or before the first day w in September in counties with 150,000 or more but less that 500,000 inhabitants. However, if the assessment books are not filed with the Board by the 20th day of July in a county with less than 150,000 inhabitants, or by the 20th day of August in a county with 150,000 or more but less than500,000inhabitants, then such complaint shall be filed on or before ten days after such lists are filed with the board. If a taxpayer files for a hearing before the Board of Review and receives no relief, and he still thinks that he has sufficient evidence to prove that his assessment is higher than the state's equalization level, he may appeal the decision of the Board of Review to the State Property tax Appeal board. Such appeal has to be filed with the state board within fifteen days after the date of the decision of the Board of Review. The Procrastinators Hie following dialogue from a young accountant is recorded, not because it is unusual, but because it is typical: "I could afford and would probably buy new carpeting and furniture for my house, landscaping of my yard, a third bathroom a couple of new suits, a second automobile, fishing gear, an , automatic dishwasher." "My wife could double the list. They are things we really lieea. in laCi, we rcaiij etui t auOiu to uO without some of them. But we have put them off mainly because no one has really tried to sell them to us. Our local retailers seem to assume that people like me are the same consumers we were ten years ago." This young professional man expects some personal attention to his needs before he fully uses his buying power. Ordinarily, local merchants would be anxious to give him, and hundreds like him in every community plenty of attention, if they knew of the situation. What is lacking is a first point of contact. , Yet, the local merchant does have an ideal place to make contact with young, affluent, educated leaders. The very nature of their status in the community dictates thorough readership of the local newspaper. ^Advertising which recognizes, the existence of the prosperous procrastinators and brings serious inquiries can be the first step toward releasing thousands of idle dollars into the local economy. ...•.muL W Another example of the futility of foreign aid is the socalled Alliance for Progress. This experiment, inaugurated ' sevep years ago by the late President Kennedy, was aimed at raising living standards in Latin America. Now after seven years and contributions of more than $8 billion by the American taxpayer, the Alliance for Progress appears to have been a failure. Perhaps the most frustrating element encountered by administrators of this foreign aid effort is the rapid population growth in the Latin American countries. More than eleven million persons a year are added to the total present population of 260 million. This is more than a 3 percent per year growth and compares with a U.S. population growth rate of only 1.1 percent. The most serious threat to this entire aid program is the collapse of efforts to improve agricultural practices. While population figures have been soaring, agricultural production Jjas been almost stagnant. This • means simply that Latin Americans have been eating less -- and future prospects are not bright. Another discouraging development during the seven years of the Alliance for Progress is the drop in foreign trade. During 1967 alone, exports from Latin American countries declined by more than $300 million and since 1962 McCLORY REPORTS From Washington their share of world exports has dropped from 6-^percentto less than 5-% percents. More than 5d million out of the total population of 260 million are reported to be unemployed -- or underemployed. That would indicate that close to 30 percent of those available for work have an inadequate job -- or no job at all. The apparent failure of the Alliance for Progress does not mean that the developing countries of Latin America are about to disappear as viable nations. The last seven years have witnessed the construction of many new schools, factories, power plants, and other public and private improvements. But despite these evidences of apparent progress most Latin American countries have failed to make any striking advances in per capital income, literacy and land reform. What the Alliance for Progress record in Latin America shows emphatically is that again American foreign aid may have stifled initiative -- perpetuated economic and political inequality -- and promoted dependency. At any rate, the Alliance for Progress record is not good and the seven-year old dream of the late President Kennedy remains unrealized -- as are far too many dreams. The first auto show was held in New York City in 1900, with some 70 different manufacturers showing their cars.

Morris, president of the American Bar association in the current issue of The Journal of the American Bar association. "An ordered society cannot survive in the United States if each individual may determine which laws he will obey and with impunity flout those he finds distasteful," he said. '< The law is and must be the supreme factor in the orderly working of society and that order, without which religion, education and civil rights cannot live, can be maintained only by adherence to the law," his magazine article declared. "The concept of civil disobedience has been distorted to justify violence and anarchy," Morris said. "A clergyman has the right to voice his dissent to the Viet Nam war from his pulpit, but it is a different thing when he becomes part of a group preventing inductees from entering an induction center."

Morris' comments had little sympathy of student demonstrators who have disrupted college campuses. "These people misdirect and misrepresent the philosophy of dissent and the doctrine of civil disobedience," he said. "They are not attempting to change a law or influence government policy; they are expressing, in a violent manner, their distaste with the way things are being rim." "They are using pressure techniques and exhibiting analmost instinctive response to any grievances, real or imagined. This is not genuine civil disobedience; it is the wanton, reckless use of 'muscle' without order, without logic, without intelligence." THE LAW SERVES YOU by Illinois State Bar Association JUDICIAL ADVISORY POLLS: A REPORT TO THE PEOPLE Sometime between now and election day, November 5, the results of the third Judicial Advisory Polls will be make to Illinois voters so they can vote more intelligently on the candidates for judgeships. In the polls - conducted by downstate bar associations in cooperation with the Illinois State Bar Association and by the Chicago Bar Association in Cook County - lawyers are asked for their evaluation of those who seek election or re-election to the State Supreme court, Appellate court and Circuit court bench. And based on their records and qualifications as seen through the eyes of their fellow members of the bar, the candidates are rated as either "recommended" or "not recommended". The recommendations express the opinion of the participating lawyers in the geographical area under consi- | deration and do not express an % official position of the Illinois State Bar Association. The first Judicial Advisory Polls were taken in 1964 when1 the Illinois Judicial Article went into effect. The Artical amended the State Constitutiontoprovide for election of the state* s twenty- four appellate court judges, who previously were appointed by the Illinois Supreme court from among the circuit judges. Hie voters already had the job of electing circuit judges. The Judicial Article alsoprovided that judges, once elected would run on their records rather than on a partisan ballot. The Advisory Polls provide a look at the judges' records by those who know them best--the lawyers. According to the ISBA, the polls are conducted only in those districts, circuits and counties where local bar organizations desire to participate. Ballots are mailed to members of participating bar associations in the summer about eight weeks prior to the earliest possible judicial nominating convention date. Candidates who are later nominated and who may not have been rated, and judges seeking retention, are rated on ballots mailed September 20. Lawyers are asked six questions about each candidate for judicial office and to give a "yes", "no" or "no opinion" in answer. The questions are weighted according to their relative importance. If the average of the six questions is 80 or above, the candidate is recommended, if the average is below 80 he is not recommended. The questions are: (1) Has he (the candidate) adequate legal ability? (2) Has he adequate legal (The Plaindealer invites the public to use this column as an egression of their views on subjects of general interest in our community.

GUN REGISTRATION "Editor: "Pm certain that if any of us good citizens felt that a physical gun registration would ease the misuse of weapons we would have petitioned for it long ago. "Let's put the blame for the present wave of gun misuse where it belongs. That is onthe courts' and all judicial branches of governments' passiveness and, leniency toward all wrong doers. A criminal can commit an overt act with a gun and get off with one to ten years in prison, which boiled down, means from a suspended sentence to me year in jail. This is where the blame lies, not the gun, knife or club. "The present drive for gun registration would imply that all the evil acts with guns are committed by those of us who will comply with the law. "Crooks will not register guns." "Look at the farce in Chicago. They have more shootings since registration than before. experience? (3) Is he courteous and considerate? (4) Has he been (or would he be) deliberate and fair in reaching his conclusions? (5) Has he been (or would he be) industrious and prompt in the performance of his judicial duties? (6) Have you confidence in his integrity? The sixth question is considered to be the most important, and is worth 35 points out of a possible 100. Hie third question also is a key one. As a spokesman for the ISBA's Judicial Advisory Committee commented: " People who come before a judge are intensely involved in the issue being litigated and the judge's courtesy and consideration of these people, we feel, is very important." The candidates themselves are the first to be advised of the results of balloting. If a candidate withdraws, because of his score or for other reason, the results are not disclosed. Otherwise, the results are placed before the nominating convention, if he is a nominee for a vacated seat on the tench, or made available to the public if he is an incumbent who is running only against his record. an Accountant at home in spare time FREE Booklet Accountants, auditors, CPAs earn 17,500 to $15,000 a year -- some more.
