DEDICATION
TO THE LEGISLiTURE OF VIRGINIA.
Gentlemen,
\ citizen who loves the State in
which. he was born, begs leave to dedicate to
Won, its legitimate Delegates, the following
TABLES 'Ileymdy furnish you some assistance
in deciding the iniportantqucstion, which will
come before you, of CHANGE OF THE CoNsTI-
The first Table is a List of the Federal Tax
on LAND, sc. extracted from the Books of the
Commissioner ofthc Revenue at Washington;
as atfordinw the hest data VIC can Obtain for as
certaining the real rdiRe of the lYndS IN the diHe
rent counties of Virginia, with the exception
ofnineteen counties, which form four dis
trcts)
The second is drawn principally by calcutta
ton from tho first-in this way-By reference
TO the Auditors Books it appears, that the
State Tax imposed on LAND under the exis-
ting law OF Virginia, amounted in the year
1915 to S237 $40, 04 cents. IL this be
divided by the whole value of the land, as as
certained BY the federal assessment it will he
about>thirtecn and three fourth cents for each
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. II deserves to be remarked,
that the federal taxation differs from ours in
comprehendng theyalue OF houses and improre-
ments.
These two tables arc calculated to point ont
the inequalities of our State system of faxati-
on,and of course the propriety of equalizing
the Land Tax.
The third table furnishes the CENSUS ofvirgi-
MIA, so useful i'll calculating the state of our
Representation.
The fourth points out the inequalities,
which have creptinto the Representation the
SENATE.
No FIVE, explains in another point of view,
the inequality in both branches, but particu-
larly in the House. or DELEG tTEs.
Thatyour deliberations on this, as well as on
other subjects, may contribute to the good
of our beloved country, is the sincere wish
Yours, most Respectable,
a CITIZEN OF VIRGINIA.
