JUDGE HUTTOES FINE EXAMPLE.

The action of Judge Frank b.
Hutton, of the Twenty-third Judi
cial Circuit, as outlined in The
Times-Dispatch of yesterday, was
the most practical step in the di-
rection of tax reform that.has been
taken in the State of Virginia.
1t had been shown in The Times
Dispatch by figures from the Au-
ditor's Office that number of coun-
ties in the State drew out of the
State treasury for school purposes
and criminal expenses more .reve-
nue. than they paid in, and it was
stated that, in some instances AZ
least, this was due to the ridicu-
lousy low assessment of real and
personal property rather than t.
excessive demands from the delin-
quent counties, 1t was also point
ed out that number of counties
returned no income tax whatsoever.
In the list of delinquent counties
was the county of Washington.
over which Judge Hutton presides.
and at the next term of the court
he called the attention of the grand
jury to the subject, and ordered
that body to inquire and ascertain
If taxable property in Washington
was properly assessed. Over two
hundred taxpayers were summon
ed before the jury and required to
explain why their assessment re.
turns showed no income over and
above the 5000 exemption, when it
was generally understood that they
were prosperous and were making
large sums of money. AS a result
of this inquiry, many assessments
were raised, and the net increase in
revenue TO the State from this
county alone was 81, 900 and more.
Judge Hutton has discovered
the solution of the problem, and if
all Judges in the State will follow his
example assessments in Virginia
will be materially raised, the
revenue of the State largely in
creased and the burden of taxation
more evenly distributed. 1t is the
duty of Judge to see that Justice
is done between man and man be-
tween citizens and the State. Its
also his duty to see that those who
violate the law are brought to
Jutlce- Therefore, when a Judge
has reason to belive that taxpayers
In any county or city within his
jurisdiction are not making honest
returns, it is his duty to direct the
of the grand jury to the
subject and order an investigation.
Such Investigations should include
the commissioners of the revenue
as we'll as the taxpayers. The
Constitution provides that all prop
erty, with certain exceptions nam
ed, shall be assessed at its fair mar
ket value. If the judges will see
to it that this rule of the Constitu-
ton is strictly enforced there will
be no further ground for complaint
of inequality in assessments
