erection Of local officials. who in nearly all
cases have taken up tax assessment side
issue. These officials have been guided. in
their judgments in a general way by the feel
ing of the community as to high or low assess
ments and In particular cases by their own
predictions. They have frequently as
sessed their own property and that of their
friends and business associates at much
lower rate than that of the rest OF the COM
munity. In many places the man of influ
ence paid no tax at all worth mentioning.
This vicious system has been partially re-
formed in Virginia by the recent tax legisla-
ton, but much remains to be done, and the
Federal government is the ,nly power able
to accomplish the task. Washington has the
experts to do the work and the money to pay
them. while IT is not influenced by local con-
ditions. 1t might conduct campaign Of edu-
cation and demonstration. such as that carried
on by the Agricultural Department, that
would bring reform.
