Auditor Moore's Plan.

I Auitor of Public Accounts G. Lee Moore, has
compiled and published tentative plan of tax
segregation for the guidance and information
of the next legislature of Virginia when 1t
comes to consider tax reform.
Under the plan advocated by Mr.. Moore the
State would derive its revenue from taxes levied
against railroads. public service corporations,
license, capitation and inheritance taxes, etc.
and would provide the same support now given
to roads, schools and pensions pay the same
percentaiN of court expenses and set aside 500,
600 each year as an emergency fund His es-
Innate of receipts and expenditures under this
plan shows receipts of SO, 900 against ex-
penditures of 6325, 900.
The counties. cities and towns will be allow
ed to tax real estate of all kinds, including
buildings thereon, personal property both tan
gible and intangible, the latter consisting of
bonds notes. other evidences of debt, capital
of individuals corporations and moneys de-
posted with any bank or shares in corporations.
etc. The rate charged to be not more than
rs cents each s100 levied upon the fair
selling value of the property. The maximum
rate Is $3.50 each 500 and Mr.. Moore
evidently intends to edualize the assessed value
by raising to market price and lowering rate
Of taxation.
We simply point out to readers the prin-
,iple features of Mr.. Moore's plan preferring
to withhold endorsement condemnation until
we have further studied It, 1t is too important
q matter to treat off hand. But do believe
that the auditor is to be commended for
pending so much time and labor in producing a
basis for the tax reform measure which will
surely be considered by the next legislature
