TAXATION ON INCOME.

Tn MUNICH, GERMANY, one OF the largest
4 cities of the empire of the Kaiser, the system
of taxation is based practically upon income. All
houses of a rental value lower than S62 are free
of water rent. All tenants paying between $62
and SIS pay three per cent water rent, but no
demand is made upon them for cleaning of streets,
sewage disposal or lighting Tenants paying
more than SIS year are rated at II cents yearly
for every additional SIS for street cleaning and
refuse disposal Other taxation is rated proper
tonately, that is, on the progressive income plan.
We might learn a lesson from Munich In this
city the method is practically the reverse from
that of Munich. Here the greater the ability to
pay the less is paid by property owners. This
system is the acme of municipal injustice. L is a
species of spoilation. Houses that are worth
$1,000 or less are usually fully assessed. and the
owners are forced to pay taxes upon their real
value. Often when property is worth thousands
of dollars, the assessment is much less than the
real value.
Every property should be assessed at its right
value There should be no discrimination 1t is
frequently said that if Wilmington properties
were assessed at their true values the city could
get along with much lower rate of taxation
The Board of Assessment and Revision of
Taxes of the city has the authority to make an
equitable valuation of city properties, and some
day the board may consider this subject
We have much to learn from foreign countries
about proper taxation
