Instructions to Land Assessors

Virginia. land assessors will be speci-
fiCally instructed by the judges ap-
painting them TO make their assess
at fair market value, instead
o. on a minimum appraisement, if
tie request made by the Virginia
cate Tax Board is carried out. In a
letter signed by Governor Davis,
CT airman of the Board, and address
ed to each OF the judges of the, State
who have the authority of appoint
ing land assessors, the State Tax
Board points out. that the Common
wealth's shortage of revenue, which
naT required special taxation to pro-
vide for road building and other pur-
poses, is attributed to under valua-
Y tiCn of real estate by assessors. .
Experts who have been studying
the assessment question are of the OPP
inion that assessment of the land at
a fair market value througho.c:
the state of Virginia will ada hund-
reds of thousands af dollars to the.
Commonwealth annual revenue and
il much to prohibit special toxation
ard other methods which have been
- sorted to in order to carry out nee
;,ssary development programs.
The later sent to the judges of
tho state by the Tax Board is as fill
lows: '- .-.
The General Assembly of Virginia
was forced, at the regular session of
1918 and again at the extra session
If 1919 to levy special taxes upon
all classes of property within the jur-
.sdiction of the Commonwealth in
order to raise sufficient revenue to
acct the increased demand upon the
State Treasury occasioned by the abb
.rcrmal expenditures required for
Highway improvement and construc-'
zion in carrying out the State high
way program and also meet the ext
gencies which have arisen in connec-
LlOu Will the maintenance Civ ILL
provement of the public school sys-
tenn. These demands are increasing
ST rapidly that it now appears in
evirable that these special levies will
nave to be supplemented at the regu-
lar session in 1920.
The discussions and proceedings of
the General Assembly during the re-
cent extra session bore strong evil
1ence of growing sentiment that
these special taxes were necessitated
10 some extent because of the under
valuation of real estate adopted in
making assessments throughout the
state, and that in view of this under
valuation real estate is not bearing
its proportionate share of the burden
,of taxation as compared with other
pr. perty; and that uniformity and
equality in taxation is being thereby
destroyed. This sentiment is found
ed on what appears to be a generally
ecognized fact that the constitution
a, provision requiring that all as
easements of real estate shall be at
thuii fair market value is not enforc-
ca in any part of the State.

NATURE LEAFLETS A WINNER

Last fall Mr.. Wooster, through the
office of the Public Service Division,
began to-send out monthly a Nature
Leafet for use in the grades and rural
schools of Kansas The first two
numbers were sent out to many teach
ers but warning was given that after
the two numbers no one would re-
ceive a leafet who did not make a
special request for it. The number
of people and the range of territory
represented by the requests, however,
hav been most gratifying to the in
stitution and most fattering to Mr.
Wooster. Requests have come from
60 counties. This includes individual
requests and requests of county
superintendent that their entire list
of teachers receive these leaflets reg
uIarly. The total number of requests
20 date amounts to 4009. Mr.. Woo
ster gives the teachers some concrete
suggestions. Leafet by leafet they
can expect TO find something which,
they can use directly in their own
school rooms. There are no directions
of pedagogy and there are no gener-
alities. 1t is straight statements of
definite facts and facts which they can
use themselves.
Mr.. Wooster has also begun
Science Study Leaf1et for high school
teachers. The first edition has just
left the Public Service office going
to 179 Science teachers in the high
schools of this part of Kansas.

It was on this instrument that he

some Of his comrades in y cabaret at
Lille.
Then his wife died. His brother went
TO Paris and passed himself of as the

The two misfortunes worked disas.

or to play some musical instrument.
Then the Germans came. Degeyter
