THE INCOME TAX.
Let Taxation BE Impartial and Bear
Upon All Species of Property.

Let Taxation BE Impartial and Bear
Upon ALI Species of Property.
To the Editor Of the Times
In your issue OF to-day j. A. L. suggests
aud maintains that it is practicable TO i'm
pose ali property taxation upon real estate.
lie alleges as a reason for the change that
our present laws for the taxation OF person
atty are evaded and offer a premium TO dis
honesty, and this is unquestionably true.
But does he not also know that our law in
regard TO the assessment OF real estate
places premium upon dishonesty, the dis
honesty being wholesale in its character
and involving whole communities 1t IL
true that real estate cannot be hidden, yet
the plain provisions Of the Constitution
which require that taxation 'shall be equal
and uniform and all property shall
be taxed in proportion TO its value"
and "no land shall be assessed above
or below its value" may be disregarded
or entirely ignored. 1t is well known that
nothing could be more unequal or unjust
than is the assessment OF lands in this
state. For while in many counties and sec
lions OF the State an honest effort is made 10
secure fair assessment, the lands in most
cases being assessed for as much as (s0me-
times more than they would sell for; in
other sect ms and other counties the effort
is 10 force the assessment down as low as
possible, lands being assessed not less than
One-half or even less than One-third OF the
market price. The writer was recently told
by an official in one of the largest and most
prosperous agricultural counties in the
State whose duty il is 10 pass upon the cor
rectness Of the assessment, that he knew the
lands of his county we're not assessed more
than a third Of their value, but he justified
his failure 20 increase the assessment
by saying that he did not believe the people
would submit 10 an increase. In other
words, they had so long enjoyed the benefits
of this differentiation, and had become so
accustomed TO having their taxes paid for
them by honest people, that to compel them
TO be honest and do justice 10 their fellow
citizens in other counties and other sections
of the State, would create storm Of indig-
nation which would vent itself upon those
who enforced compliance with the law.
The TINES is doing good service in calling
attention 10 the evasion of the income tax.
Turn YOUR attention, MIR. Editor, 10 ques-
ton of still more importance. as it involves
much the larger proportion OF the taxes OF
the State-the question OF devising some
practical method Of equalizing the
assessments of real estate in the
several counties of the commonwealth,
so that each section, each county, and each
individual may bear a fair proportion Of the
burdens of taxation. When this is done IT
may then be proper TO consider the sugges.
ton of J. A. l.. in regard TO the abolition of
taxation on other species OF property. Till
then il is premature, as his scheme is net
by the very objection which he urges against
the taxation Of personally, that the honest
pay, the dishonest evade the payment.
