Ju Jt would be a shame to repeal the tax equalization SjaW, if the tax system is to be retained as a HltanSs It is true the law as enforced is not, satiRfact entirely.

This '*oul<l ftiiOt be right and the state will suffer. ' St iThe present opposition to the tax equalization law, at least where the objection is made by sensible § ioh:ons and not Bolsheviks who woukl abolish < l orms of taxation—is found in its enforcement. Of _wWe it would be c«t of the question for the equn)- Szing board*to inspect all farms and property to as certain its value but a better way of arriving at the 53,'alwe than is npw ‘employed generally should B Itbere are too many cases where equalizers sit in g,B office and “equalize” the lax returns of a county. Sfit numerous instances “A” is made to pay taxes on Sjroperty valued as high as f‘B” because they- happen Sr be neighbors regardless off the income eachi derives ilirpm the property. “A” ™ay own poor land and «Teap a poor return from his labor and B may o land and make money on his property.

This appraisement should suffice for a num- ■“Thb^woiild furnish, the tax assessors definite itla on which to fix the rate. It would also relieve e’hcnest, conscientious farmer from the humiliation which ho is subjected in having to subscribe to the Sit method of returning taxes. He is confronted a printed form ,at the bottom of which are ie ominous words, put there'to frighten him into jiihfulncrs: “ do eclemnly.sweor that I have given the above property at its true market value. But scarecrow fails t6 frighten. The farmer knows tins'people do not give in their property at its true lkt-ket value—at wjiat they could get for it. Some ■e jt in at less than one-half its value, and others at ' than one-fourth. Just as long as the individual _^Uce. of returning taxes is observed and just as t as men-arc selfishly inclined, this variation will J as some are more selfish than others, (Surely, there is a better way to equalize taxes— “ taxes of every kind should equalized.” THE EDITORS he Georgia Editors and their wives, sweethearts riera will meet in f.avonia, Franklin county Mon- ; Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.
