ASSESSORS INDORsE
EQUABLE LAND TAX
Officials in Conference Here Favor
Moro Uniformity In Determining
Realty Valuations.

Resolutions adopted at tho clos
ing session yesterday at noon Of tho
land assessors of Virginia. who held
conference unique in tho tax an
rals OF tho Commonwealth. pledged
tho officials to a moro equable assess
ment of real estate in all counties OF
the State.
A resolution, offered by w. T. Bald
win. OF Radford. and adopted by tho
conference, provides that no property
should BIO assessed at less than so
per cent OF its fair market value. Mr..
Baldwin made 1t plain that tho pur-
pose OF his resolution is not to flx tho
basis OF assessments at so per cent.
but to designate that as a minimum.
Land in at least ono county, Mr..
Baldwin declared. Is now assessed at
only 1913 per cent of it's average sales
value. while in other sections tho as
sessments run as high as 75 per cent.
Sentiment expressed in tho confer
ence was that these higher assess
ments should not be reduced, but tho
low counties should be raised to
something nearer the maximum fig
ure.
Another resolution offered by John
NJ. Page. OF Charlottesville. and
adopted by the body. reads:
I'VE. your committee. appointed to
advise means OF n fair assessment for
all sections Of the State. unanimously
recommend to the conference OF the
State assessors that an equal assess
ment OF all real estate be made for
tho year 1920 at tho same ratio for
all sections Of the State and notify
the State Tax Board OF this action.
Unanimously adopted by your COM
mfttee."
Section 16s reads as follows: Tex
cept az hereinafter provided all as
easements Of real estate and tangible
personal property shall DO assessed
ut their fair market value to be uscer-
tanned as prescribed by law"
Except as hereinafter provided"
refers to exemptions on State, school.

Hindu Barber a Man of Parts

Now that the price for haircutting has risen, which means that possibly the barber will not be so busy in the future, perhaps we shall find him even tually emulating the Hindu haircutter.
 The latter is an individual of inn mense importance in India, and as his duties are many, he is in constant de- mand. At a birth the Hindu barber is the man employed to carry the eventful news to the various family relatives, while at funeral he slaves the heads of the living-and the dead.
 The Hindu haircutter has no shop, and, unlike our barbers, he displays no poles. signs or symbols. He can be seen strolling along near the ba- Zaars, with a small bundle under his arm or carrying little bag. At all re- ligious rites he is to be observed; he bores the girls ears and noses for the various rings which are worn and, in fact, the busy Hindu barber will un- dertake almost any surgical operation.
 Besides births and deaths, he at tends marriages. At wedding, we are told, this busy barber is 'best man."
 The touch of this handy man, by the way, is exceptionally light, and 1t is said that he can shave his cus- toners while they sleep.
