Tax Body Inexact Says County Assessor Hawks Pendleton
Umatilla County Assessor R. O. Hawks criticizes the state tax commission for inexact methods in determining actual cash value of private property. He argues excessive valuations raise the tax burden and depress public utility assessments. The assessor notes the commission lowered the county’s ratio from 69 to 67 percent while cash value remains high, and he has reduced his own assessments due to depreciation in wheat land and stock amid farm downturns.
