Abstract

This thesis is a survey of the history of taxation in Hays, Kansas, from 1926 to 1941. Contains a history of the community, a municipal profile, zoning maps, and taxation information. Taxes are administered according to state laws. The county executes the laws of the state and distributes to the city the tax returns for which they have made a levy. Hays is considered here as a small unit representative of conditions in general in Kansas. From a study of taxation in Hays it is evident that Hays has a more uniform assessment than it has ever had, but it still needs many improvements.
