There is justice In county paying the
tax rate on property assessed at two thirds its
value and another county paying the same tax
rate property assessed at one-third its value
because the county pays twice as heavy a
burden to the State the other. These in
qualities will continue just as long as the State
taxes for its purposes the same property that the
county taxes for it's needs. The solution of the
problem is what is known the segregation
of the objects of taxation; that Is, division
of taxable values that class will be sub
ject only to State taxation and the other class
only to city and county levy.-Charlottesville
