WORK OF TAX COMMISSION
Prepares Table Uncovering Surpris-
ing Conditions.

Richmond, Sept. 2G-That big pro-
perty owners are paying very little
tax proportionately and that the
bulk of the burden of taxation is car
ried on the shoulders Of small pro-
perty owners are shown by tables
now in preparation by the State Tax
commission.
These tables also show that in
some counties the assessment is less
than one-eighth Of the actual value
Of the property, while the assessments
in other localities are so high that
the average in the whole State is
over SO per cent.
From time to time the State Tax
Commission will furnish to the press
Of the State summaries of certain
parts Of their work giving the peo-
pie a chance to learn and familiarize
themselves with the subjects to be
discussed when the Legislature meets
to take up the recommendation Of
the Tax Commission.
No question will attract more at
tention than that of the assessments
of real estate for purposes of taxa
ton. The people will readily under
stand why it is that the State is
called on to pay SO much money to
some Of the counties. This is due to
the bald fact that the assessments for
taxation are one third and the valua-
tions when sold are another. The
smaller the valuations made by the
commissioners named by the courts
to determine the value of the land
the more the State is called on to pay
to support these counties.
Tables have been prepared which
will open the eyes of the public. The
lowest valuation made in any county
is in Grayson, where the assessments
for taxation are based at less than
one-eighth Of the price at which the
same lands have been sold. In other
words. for taxation the lands have
been placed at 1920 on each 500
The average for the State in the
counties is just 3314a cents on the
500.
