"God might have babe the earth bring forth
The oak tree the cedar-tree,
Without q flower at all.
He might have made enough, enough
For every want of ours:
For luxury, medicine, and toll,
And yet have made no flowers.
Our outward life requires them not
Then wherefore have they birth?
To minister delight to man,
To beautify the earth;
To comfort man-to whisper hope,
Whene'er his faith IL dim;
For whose careth for the flowers,
Will much more care for him!"

The Rate of Taxation.

On the 10th inst. Auditor Taylor, in re-
Spouse to resolution of the House of Dele
gates, sent in communication giving his
view Of the rate Of taxation the present re-
sources will justify, from which the follow
ing exhibit was taken. 1t will be seen that
the Auditor bases his conclusion upon the
supposition that the assessment Of 1880 will
show no decrease in values. While in the
Valley counties, where the assessments are
up to the full value of real property, the
personal property may show slight in
crease; in the eastern portion of the State
we may expect decrease both in real and
personal property values. The Auditor says !:
am OF opinion that from the best consideration
can give the subject the present rate Of tax will
yield sufficient amount Of revenue to pay four
per centum upon the public debt proper, pro
vided the present assessment OF properly can be
1t must be remembered, however, that a gen.
eral re-assessment of the lands of the Common
wealth Will take PLACE IN the year 1890 next year
values of from twenty to twenty five per centum
upon the real estate. There will probably be
there then be this depreciation in the value of
land and the debt be adjusted upon the basis Of
four per cent the deficiency must of course be
upon the reduced values, or by the ascertain
ment Of new subjects of taxation which will yield
the necessary amount of revenue. The reduc-
ton in legislative expenses by of biennial
sessions the reduction in the annual amount OF
criminal charges, the reform and retrenchment
policy inaugurated at the last session of the GEN
eral Assembly, are all items which go far to con-
firm me in my opinion that four per cent. could
be paid upon the debt proper, not forgetting,
however, that it is all contingent upon maintain
ing present values, or upon an increased rate of
taxation should those values be reduced or upon
entertainment of new subjects OF taxation as I
have above suggested.
