Gentlemen,

a citizen, wl.o loves the State in
which he was born, becs leave 10 dedicate to
you, its leg itiInate Deiesates, the following
FABLES. They rag furnish YOU some assistance
m deciding the important question, which will
come before you, OF q GRANGE OF THE CoNsrI l.
TUITION.
The first Table is List of the Federal Tax
on LAND, &c. extracted from the Books of the
Commissioner otthe Revenue at Washington;
as atior,iing the best data we eau obtain for as
pertaining the real raie of The lands IN tie dire
rent counties of Virginia. with the exception
OF nineteen counties, which form four dis
tricts.)
The second is drawn principally by calcula-
ton from the iirst-inthis wav-lSy reference
to the Auditors Books it appears, that the
State lax imposed on LAND under the exis-
ting law OF Virginia, amounted in the year
1913 !, TO S237 80. 04 cents. If this sum be
divided by the whole value OF the land, as as
certained BY the federal assessment, il will he
about thirteen and thres-iourth cents for each
hundred doliars--and if imposed on the Coun-
ties and Districts, according to their value as
fixed by the United States Assessors, would
give TO each, about the sums exhibited in this
second Table. u deserves 10 he remarked
that the federal taxation differs from ours in
comprehending thevalue of houses and improre-
ments.
These two tables are calculated to point out
the inequalities of orr State system OF TaXati-
on, ana OF course the propricty of equalizing
the Land Tax.
The third table furnishes the CENSUS ofvirgi-
mia, SO useful in calculating the state of our
Representation.
The fourth points out the inequalities,
which have creptinto the Representation of the
SENATE.
No. five, explains in another point of view,
the inequality III both branches, but particu-
larry in the House. OF DELEGATEs
Iiatyour deliberations on this, as well as on
other subjects, may contribute to the good
