TINE CONCLUSIONS REACHED.

The committee think the amount thus
assessed should be at least$90, 000,and set
forth their general conclusions as follows:
/. Taxation upon real eatate in Vir-
GINA is not equal and uniform.
2. Lands used for agricultural purpos-
ss are assessed far above lands contain
ing minerals, and tho burden of taxation
is thus unfairclv placed upon the farmers
3. Lands containing mincrals-hoth
developed and undevslopsd-aro assessed
far below their value.
4. By reason Of the unequal assess
ments throughout the State the Com
monwealth has lost AT untold amount o.
revenue.
S. Failure to express the true consid
Grafton in deeds conveying property haI
also deprived the Commonwealth Of hel
just duea.
6, We believe if taxation upon real es
| tate be fsir and equal ths State will b,
able to meet promptly all Ter demand
and parfect her free-scIlool system, ans
reduce the rate of taxation. s
The committee promise 10 introduce

TIE SOUTHWEST.

Con investigation, Says the committee,
cit appeared that tho coal and timber
lands throughout Tazouoll, Wise, Buch-
anan. and Dickinson counties arc asscss-
ed at prices entirely incommensurate with
their real value, notwithstanding deyel-
opments arc going on in different parts
of some Of those counties, and hundreds
of thousands Of tons of minerals are be-
ing shipped annually. These shipments
are being made over the Norfolk and
Westcrn railroad to the eastern markets,
and yet it is startling fact, as will he
shown by statement from the Auditors
Office, that not ono dollar in taxes has
been naid on minerals raised. We, there
fore, recommend that action be taken in
this matter, and that all Investigation be
made, and that the owners of these vast
rich coal properties be required to show
cause Why they should not be taxed on
minerals that have slrcady bsen TAKEN
from these coal-6elds within the past tive
years.
ave further asccrtaiEed that nearly all
OF the coal land Of thia vast coal-isld oil
Southwest Virginia has been bought UP
on speculation by non residents, together
with some residents, who hold the prop
crty for speculation, while the citizens in
the counties only hold the surface right
We were informed by The Clerk OF Wise
county that when these lands were sold
the deeds invariably showed 3 nominal
consideration"

Recommendations.

Az the last session Of the General AS
scmbly a special joint committee uas ap
pointed "to investigate and report to tn
next (this) General Assembly the res
and the assessed value Of the mnera
lands in tho State, in order that the same
nav be reassesssd and taxed according t.
the real ualue.
The COMMITTEES consisted Of hsssra. a
F. Withrow, of Bath; W. A. Fsntress, o.
+ Portsmouth; John E. Mason, Of King
George, aud N. P. Jackson, of Wisc, on
The part of the House, and Henry Fairfax,
of Loudoun; G. A. Nushbaek, of Alexan-
dria, and Conway r. Sands, of Richmond,
on the part of the Senate. Ali the MEM
bers Of the committee, except Mr.. Jack
son, arc members Of the present General
Assembly. Yesterday the committee
submitted their report to tho Senate
through Mr. Fairfax, and in the House
through Mr. Withrou. The report is
volun,inous and exhaustive, and bears
evidence that The committee addressed
themselves TO thar labors with ensrgy
and system.
The principal minera! sections of the
State ware visited, the properties and
deeds therato examined, and testimony as
10 values taken from ASSESSORS, clerks, &c.
INQUIRY was also made which developed
whether owners Of properties were resi-
dents or non-residents, and statistics
gathered rs to tho value Of the product
eff mines and Of The manufactured mate
rial turned out from such product.
COMPARATIVE VALUES.
Evidence wag also takan as TO tho rela-
tive assessed value of mineral lands and
farming lands in tbs same vicinity, with
result of showing that the farming we're
much higher than the miAeral properties.
SPECIMEN OBSERVATION.
Tho character Of the committed OBJ
sorvations may be gathered from the fol-
lowing export from the report:
"The Allegheny Mining Company OPP
Grated by joint stock company. ON ex-
animation Of the books at Alleshan
Courthouse was found that no income tax
had ever been paid by the owner OF the
property or the lessees. Tie books OF the
Commissioner Of the Revenue showed
that for the previous year $4,000 had been
stated as the product of these vast mines.
The amount Of tax derived on this was
*23 81 TO show what has been lost to
the State iu the WAY of taxos, is only nee
cssary to call your attention TO the fact
that BIZ The statement OF the manager of
the Iron Mountain mines, which arc the
mines operated by this company, the out
put Of three nines for years back has av-
erased so tons day for working days,
say $50 days year. This would make
the annual output about $3.50 tons,
worth, at The least, $50 per ton, making
a total $50, 375 on which tho State should
have an income tax"
