A readable communication will

a better plan could be invented.

That condition of things hss
come about to which it was easy to1
foresee for some time. Not a few

a tas ni'j&t he pai<! by the governed for
this pur;v>5e. In th-* payment of this
tax it is intendc 1 to ?.) assess it that
none ned be over hardened and yet
n<jie bo allowed toescipe without payii:;:
an eqnal portion, aeuordin? to the tnie
?alaecf the property o*ne 1 ! y ?-;j?*h one.
Bat here is the great trouble. While
one fx-rm.n returns property at one
; hundred per cent of i tx value, his neigh
j hor perhaps returns at only seventy-five
' per cent, and ".n many iu stances at not
more than fifty per cent, ai.d some e*en
l*fS-?.
Now this inequality in many instances!
nn doubt is caupted fry an honest differ- j
ence in the judgment of men; now thin j
dilference of judgment is no reason why
A. hIiouIi! pay twice as much tax as B j
w lien if t hoi r property were offered for |
Hale to the highest bidder, it would !
bring equakaino-mts. It mak?-s noiKf- !
fer<nce whether property he returned at
50, 100 or 200 p.-r eent of its value, so ;
ihst it all he leturncr. at the same rate. ;
\^'e have what is known as -equalizing
hward#, 1 ut owing to the fa<-t that they |
are required to equalize the value of
| property in many instances that jhey j
Jhrpre never scon and ki ow nothing of, i
? heir work is necessarily to great ex- j
tent a failure. This failure is due to the i
fact thnt ths territory wh'ch the board |
has under supervision is too large.
THE KEMfOV SUGGESTED.
Divide each county into small rchool
districts, and select from each district
three suitable men t-.? assess the proper
j tf in their respective districts. Let there
be in each county a county board com
ipo'sed of one m< nd>er fnrn each school
[district. Then l ist let there be a State
^ hoard composed of one or more members
from each county. j
Let^ the State board meet an ! decide j
i on a uniform rate of assessment. Fori
instance? divide land into a u.iniher of
different grades, according to pr?.duc-j
tivenefis, location ?&c., and determine
l what each grade sha'l be assessed at.
Then have a number of grades for dif
ferent kin'ls of stack and peperat* in,
some ut ay as near as po*sibl> according
- to value, an1 then determine what each
grade shall be* pssessed at- And so in
reference to other kinds of property^
Then let the proceedings of the State
board he published. After the members
have returmd tv their respeetire coun
ties, let the comity board be cail >.r to
gether. and let the -members who at
tended the State boar I explai i ;:s near
as possible the g ad!:iz *>f d'.'Te.* nt ki :ds
of property. After this let the school
j Disii^ct^boar me t. and after having
| the pbtn of the State beard in reference
to grades and valuation of property ful'y
explained by the member who attended
the county board, proceed to assess the
property in their respective disi -ien.

might be th:U Charl>sto ? c mnty em

great difference between the counties of
Abbeville and Lauren# i>e txplanc.l?
Tbey are adjoining counties. et<^i wlthi
small towns and each bavins al&utthWj
tame arooant of railroads. Yet we find ;
the horses ia Abbeville rctnnied at an
avarare of while tho^e of Laarens .
are only returned at an average of $4^,
Who will explained ?
It will be seen that there is also a dif- \
feranee of $20 per head ia the adjoining
counties of Somter and Richland Bat
when we come nearer home we find that
two of Kershaw's adjoining counties,
Fairfield and Samter, return their horsfs
*t an average of $6 raofo per head than
we do ; while our other four neighbors,
r
Darlington, Richland, Lancaster and
Che>terfiel- all average below Kershaw.
Bur as great as the difference of the aver
age returns of horses is in different coun
ti.s, when we come to dogs, we find the
difference still greater- The average re
? ims for do^s in the .State is a little over ?
?>. Hampton ceunty returns at an
average of about 81-5 per head, while
Greenville, Pickens an 1 Anderson re
turn at oah a fraction above an average j
i of SI per head. Surely the dog popula- j
i tion of thesf counties must tx? composed
of -'curs of low degree" indeed.
The average returns of pleasure oar
jriasresin the different ^counties varies
i from less thani in some counties to
| more than $40 in other*.
The average returns of mules in th*
S-ate is about S*0, whih? Georgetown re- ,
turns at $*2 and Spartanburg at only
$4t>per bend. These- two eases represent
I lie extreme*. An<l so w.> find these great
differences in the returned value of all
kinJs of property.
Will not sonv; of our luwmak rs take
this matter under consi-'erat'on and tiy
form some plan hy which taxation e$n

does at present, -j j. m. w.
