things that the surprise is that there is
as much uniformity in their assessed
valuation in Virginia as the reports show
He then goes on to show why hogs ana
cattle and sheep are worth more III one
community than another.
There is much truth in what our cor
respondent says, but he has enhrelS
missed the point of our argument. We
know that one horse differs from another

of cattle and sheep and hogs, but we
have baen speaking not of Individual
