Fox, Tfib Association, who for past several months has been working on land taxation. It has been the policy of the Illincis-- Tax Com-- mission to increase the valuation on lands for state taxation purposes; on other property it is accepting The valuation returned' by the county board of© review. The total assessed -- valuation on lands returned by the coun'y boards of review for 1921 amounted to $1,161,836,018 »the -- tax commission added a valuation of $56,104,839 to this amount on its own separate val-- uation. This will mean $225,000 more 1921 taxes for landowners, The danger of this said Mr. Fox ties in the fact that it singles out one form of property alone for a valuation separate from that of the county board of review, thereby rendering it always linble to an unfair burden of taxes. The discussion led by Mr. Fox was follbwed by an address by Wm. F. Malone, a member of the Tax Com-- resume of the work by Presiden: MHoward Leonard and the report by of that commission declaring that he refused to vote or to sign his name to their report. Mr. Malone praised the work of the 1. A.
