Mr.. fIillhouse calls the Legislatures attention
to the necessity of material changes in our
system OF taxation. He says the present
system was established when the wealth of
the State consisted mainly Of real property
and when the levies and expenses
were comparatively Night. What is now
wanted is - system of taxation that
'shall conform in It's results, ms nearly as prao~
"tcabie, to the maxim that the citizens OF
estate should contribute toward the support
"of government in proportion TO their respect
"iye abilities If this maxim could be carried
"out through plan of assessment, equitable,
"but mt the same time thorough and search
Sing, it would greatly advance the power and
prosperity of the State, and cause the public
burdens TO fall with less severity on indi-
"viduals and classes" After abiding to tie
impOssibility of obtaining proper data for the
assessment of personal property, the report
speaks of the growing evil OF differentiation
OF real property 1t says:
There Is evidence, almost Gfnonsfaye ihat lapa IS
