EQUALIZATION NEEDED.

That the legislature viii impose a di-
rect state tax on the taxpayers of
Vermont for the next two years is al.
ready understood by the public. This
state tax will be assessed upon the
grand lists of the various towns and
cities and these grand lists are made
10y town, not by state, officials. There
is no uniform system of appraising the
value of taxable property III the state
each board of town or city listers ex-
creising their own Judgment in the
matter. The result is a great inequali-
~ in the appraisal of property for the
purpose OF taxation. Some towns and
cities appraise their real estate at
practically its market value, as the
law requires, but in many more pro-
perty is appraised at from sixty to
ninety per cent Of its value and these
towns or cities escape paving their
Just share of the state taxes.
To show how unequally property is
appraised we publish the towns and
cities of 5000 or more population with
their number of inhabitants and their
grand list. To make the inequality
more plain we have made two groups
one Of towns and cities with 5000
or more population and the other of
towns with moro than . 0oO onJ los.
than 5000 population. The tables
