Convention should be held at early period, while

made before slime and circumstances may harden Local
attachments into stubborn and iDtractable resistance
But not too carly, nor too iae-lest in the one case
the people would not have time enough TO discuss lie
qualifications of the candidates, 10 which they a..

Lands are always assessed TO the occupant, without

from any thing found upon the premises when the col
ecor comes round, whether the occupant then be the

If lands are not occupied the assessors must obtain

The Injunction Of the law upon the assessors, in ma
king their assessments that they shall value all pro.

You will discover, that this system contains provi.
sion for equalzng the assessments between the differ.
emf counties When there is State tax, this is not
at nil important and we have had none from 1926 until
the present year Formerly, when had State tax,
commissions occasionally instituted oy the Le'
gslaure, when complaints OF inequalities became &C.
neral to act for the State very much the boards OF
supervisors do for the counties, and upon very much
the information more generally possessed ihese
commissioners have been and never can De ire
quently required ;.
Such is very brief view of our taxing system. IL
has ever worked most ory, it is based upon
perfect equality and all the agents for carrying it out
are those elected by the people in small districts every
year. and when every voter knows personally every
man for whom he votes. The system is always in per
feet operation to collect the town and county taxes
and when State becomes necessary, il only re-
quiste that the Legislature shall fix its ad ralortH.
rate and direct its imposition, and it is assessed and
paid without any new machinery, or any increase OF
expense, beyond the simple commission TO the col.
lectors. In great haste,
