Railroads Seek Fair Tax Basis in Oklahoma Valuations
Oklahoma City April 22 The state board of equalization signals a shift from prior policy by aiming to tax railroad and public service property closer to actual cash value. Railroads and the Pullman company voiced no major objections to last year’s assessments if other property follows the same basis. Governor Cruse and board members emphasized aligning county returns with roughly actual sale values, noting past levies taxed property far below market value. Notable witnesses included representatives from Katy, Santa Fe, Midland Valley, and other lines, who urged legislative over executive reform to limit levy maximums and force assessments toward true value.
