Editor The Star discusses taxation as the focal issue of the gubernatorial campaign. The proposed 20th amendment known as the Child Labor Bill is deemed supreme in importance, with school, road, and internal improvements seen as components of the broader tax question. A strong resolution favoring tax equalization was adopted.
A Virginia farmers convention criticizes the recent tax equalization plan as ruinous and unfair, arguing valuation bias harms farmers. The speaker advocates an independent two year term district tax board to oversee fair assessments, proposing salaries set by the Assembly and meetings in Richmond to refine the system while retaining current county assessments pending a better scheme.
