THERE is much talk 10 Richmond
where all kind of wild theories originate
of the need Of state board Of tquallza
ton. At present the state Is said to b'
undergoing a loss of about $500, OOC
per year due to unfair tax valuation
1t is claimed that a state board ofequall
cation would cost only $25, 900 yeai
and that this would be worth the price
If the returns are what they are believed
to be in delinquent taxes due to unfair
equalization. The matter, it is said,
will be urged before the next legislature
as the state is in need of additional
money to deiray expenses of the budget.
This seems to be a we'll devised scheme
to folst most office holders upon the state.
Competents commissioners of the reye-
nue. is al that is needed.
