THE TAX LAW.

For the better understanding of the sue
cessful operation of the so-called new tax
law, now on trial for the third year, a few
figures may be adduced. Under the old sys-
TEN the total assessed valuation of the State
had run down in 1880 to 800, $50, 900. Under
the new law it sprung in 1881 to $lG3, 762,
O69; in 1882 it was Sl67, 733, 032 and this
year it is $1G9, O22, 1884, with the cores and
unorganized towns yet to be heard from,
10 1880 the real estate valuation was S7l,
ia, TAI; in 1881 it was $lO2 437, 102; in
1882 $l06, 1872 S07 and this year it is Sl04
$40, GA. In the valuation Of personal proper.
ty, however, the most significant figures are
shown. In 1880 the assessed valuation of all
personal property was only Sl5,037, 262; in
1881 it was more than treble that amount
SAG, 500, 9G7; in 1882 it was SAC, 800, 1856
and this year 1t is $40, 5SG,3l0. In tota
assessed valuation every county in the State
| shows an increase over last year excep
Essex, Franklin and Rutland The acgre.
gate valuation is 81, $50, 752 larger than las
year and while the real estate valuation
has decreased nearly two millions of dollar
($1 1923, $685. the valuation of personal pro
perty has increased much larger amount
90, sos, 575.
Surely these figures speak we'll for the Law
and the continued popular interest in its en-
forcement. As our readers know, the FRB
PRESS was one of the earliest and most activ
friends and supporters of the law. We hav
never claimed that it was the ne plus unr,
of human wisdom, nor that the system o
which it forms part is the best that nigh
be devised. But we have claimed tina
It was the best plan yet contrive,
for carrying into effect the system o
taxation now in general use aud that thor
ough trial would prove its merits. Such
proof has now been had, and the three years
practical operation Of the law has sufficiently
