D. 1901, and on the second Monday in January of each and every succeeding year and shall, at such meetings, establish throughout the State a uniform valuation of all classes of property which, by their character, will admit of such uniform valuation; provided, that in fixing such valuation the location and situation of such property shall be considered; and provided further, that nothing herein shall be so construed as to impair the right of the Board of Equalization of any county to equalize taxes on all property, the valuation of which has not been fixed at the annual meeting of County Assessors as provided in this section; provided, any taxpayer under the provisions of this Act shall not be deprived of any remedy or redress in a court of law relating to the payment of taxes. Sec. 2. At such meetings the Governor shall be the Chairman, and the Governors Secretary shall be the Clerk of said meeting; but neither the Governor nor his Secretary shall have a vote in the proceedings of said Board. The State Controller shall supply all information and data concerning the finances of the State as he may have in his office, either upon his own motion or upon request of the Board. Eight Assessors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and a majority may decide any question before the meeting; provided, that if, at any meeting the Assessor of any county shall, by reason of sickness or other unavoidable cause, be unable to attend any such meeting, then, in that event, the Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners of such county shall attend such meeting and shall act and vote in the place of such absent Assessor, with the same force and effect as the Assessor might do if present; and provided further, that if at any meeting the Governor or his Secretary shall, for any reason, be unable to act as Chairman or Clerk, then, in that event, the Assessors may select one of their own number to act as Chairman or Clerk of that particular meeting. |

Sec. 3. The Chairman shall preside at all meetings and the Secretary shall keep a full and correct record of the proceedings thereof, in suitable books which shall be provided for that purpose, and which shall be kept in the office of the Governor. Sec. 4. Immediately after the adjournment of the annual meetings provided for in section one of this Act, it shall be the duty of the governor to cause to be printed and forwarded to the Clerks of Boards of County Commissioners, and to each of the revenue officers of the several counties, a full report of the proceedings of such meetings, which report shall contain a schedule of valuation placed upon the various classes of property as adopted at said meeting. Sec. 5. The valuation fixed at such annual meetings shall be uniform on all such property as may be designated, except in cases where the valuation is affected by its locality; and the Assessors of the several counties of the State shall fix values on all property not so designated at said meeting, in the manner now provided by law. Sec. 6. An annual ad valorem tax of eighty cents on each one hundred dollars of taxable property is hereby levied and directed to be collected for State purposes upon all taxable property in this State, including the net proceeds of mines, except such property as is by law exempt from taxation; provided, that such rate of eighty cents may be changed as hereinafter provided.

They shall then proceed to fix the State rate of taxation (not to exceed eighty cents on each one hundred dollars) in proportion as the amount required to conduct the State Government for that year stands to the whole property valuation in the State; but in no case shall they fix a rate which will give the State more revenue than necessary to meet the total amount of appropriations made by the last preceding Legislature. Sec. 8. When the rate of State tax shall have been fixed as provided in section seven, it shall be the duty of the State Controller to immediately notify the several County Assessors and County Auditors of the same. Sec. 9.

Sec. 10. The several County Auditors shall, annually, on or before the fourth Monday in October of each year, forward to the State Controller a statement under seal of his office of the aggregate assessment of all property on the assessment roll in his county, segregating the personal from the real property.

It shall be the duty of each County Assessor to fix the valuation of property which may be assessed by him at the valuation placed on the same class of property at the regular annual meeting of Assessors for the State. Sec. 12. There shall be allowed and paid to each County Assessor attending the meetings of County Assessors required in section one, the actual expenses of such Assessors in going to and returning from his county to attend each meeting; and an itemized statement of such expenses duly verified shall be presented to the State Board of Examiners, who shall audit the same as other claims against the State are allowed and paid. Sec. 13. Should any Assessor in the State neglect or refuse to assess property in accordance with the provisions of this Act, or laws now in force and effect, or place a less valuation on any property than has been fixed at said meeting of Assessors, the Governor, State Controller or Attorney-General shall, upon due notification, instruct the District Attorney of said Assessors county to bring suit against such Assessor and his bondsmen for the full amount of taxes liable to be lost to the State and county by reason of such failure or neglect to properly assess such property. The suit shall be tried in the District Court having jurisdiction in the county where the property is situated. Sec. 14. The District Attorney shall have the assistance and advice of the Attorney-General in prosecuting the suit in case the Governor and State Controller shall deem it advisable. |

Sec. 5. With each application for authority to practice pharmacy within this State, there shall be deposited with its Board, or its President or Secretary, the sum of five dollars, and in case of issuance of license to the applicant an additional sum of ten dollars shall be paid by the applicant to said Board, and all moneys collected by said Board shall be used by it to defray its legitimate expenses. |
