Kemp Suddenly Property Tax Assessment Period Soon (continued from page 1) special district taxes. So it is your council, school board, and, to a lesser degree, county supervisors, who determine how big the tax bill shall be. The county assessor's job is to see that the tax bill is distributed fairly and equitably by making a fair and equitable valuation of property. He might increase your assessment a million dollars and that wouldn't cost you a cent more in taxes—providing he raised the assessment similarly on other property of similar situation and value. Because, when he increases the assessment on your property, the tax rate automatically will go downward, unless the tax-fixing bodies—school board, council, supervisors—approve larger budgets for government spending. That's what increases taxes. There is always the temptation to do that. When assessments are increased, the taxing bodies can do it without increasing their tax rates, then sit back and look innocent, and the taxpayer doesn't know who to blame. He sees an increased assessment noted on his tax bill, and he sees no rise in the tax rate, so he probably puts it all on the assessor. But your quarrel with the assessor, if any, comes only when he has evaluated your property out of proportion to other property. That would mean that you would bear a larger share of the total county tax bill than you should. His job is to keep valuations on an even keel and he has no other connection whatever with your tax bill. So what about the man from the assessor's office who will come to your door next week or soon thereafter, to check your property? Cora E. Kemp Suddenly Elizabeth Kemp, 71, a naissouri, but a resident of before moving to Huntach three weeks ago, Tuesday, February 22, at 205-A Second street. Survived by two sons, Kemp of Gardena and Kemp of Westminster; later, Mrs. Merle Campland; one granddaughter Doris Banks of Monroe, and two sisters. Services were conducted enfeld chapel on Friday, 24, at 10 o'clock with the Art A. Blume, pastor ofington Beach Methodist acciating. Burial was in her Memorial Park. So what about the man from the assessor's office who will come to your door next week or soon thereafter, to check your property? What sort is he and what is his attitude toward his job. First, he has just been through training school for this particular job. And his booklet of formal instructions from Assessor Maurice Enderle may throw some light on his approach to his job. These instructions not only set forth practical directions but also contain a statement of ideals which amount to a code of ethics. Some excerpts from Enderle's foreword to his deputies are interesting. "The job of the whole assessor's office is to provide an equalized base of actual values of all the taxable property in Orange county, upon which shall be assessed a tax for the support of government." That's a starter. Here are others: "... you ... are responsible for four fundamental things: 1. To get an honest declaration of property from the taxpayer. 2. To inspire in the taxpayer the feeling that he is a citizen and you are a citizen; that your problems and responsibilities are identical with his. 3. That every citizen will be treated as an honest man by this office until he proves himself otherwise . . . 4. Your work should inspire in you and you in turn should inspire in each citizen with whom you deal, a greater confidence in government because of what it provides." The foreword adds that if the deputy does not himself believe in these fundamentals, and that every citizen should bear his share of the tax burden, "that American citizenship is an estate worthy of every support," the deputy should not undertake the task, until he has convinced himself that government, with all its faults, deserves undivided support. Other admonitions of Enderle to his deputies include: "But industrious and straightforward ... but always courteous, firm and pleasant about it, observing but never snooping, positive but never controversial or antagonistic. Finally, you owe it to the taxpayer to keep inviolate his every support," the deputy should not undertake the task, until he has convinced himself that government, with all its faults, deserves undivided support. Other admonitions of Enderle to his deputies include: "But industrious and straightforward... but always courteous, firm and pleasant about it, observing but never snooping, positive but never controversial or antagonistic. Finally, you owe it to the taxpayer to keep inviolate his confidence. The assessor is a repository of the people's business and financial secrets, and such information... must not be divulged." Ed W. Hopkins, Los Angeles county assessor is quoted for a succinct and interesting summation of the assessor's duty: "The political code, insofar as it refers to taxation, is the written, articulate expression and mandate of the people as to how they wish to be governed in affairs of taxation. It is the rule and guide of assessors. It should be followed faithfully, impartially and justly. It is no function of an assessor to ignore the law in part, because he thinks it may work a hardship upon someone. It is not for him to decide if it be just or unjust. His business is to understand the nature of his task, perform it under the rules laid down, and do it fairly and squarely."
