Excerpt from Report to the General Assembly of Virginia by the Tax Commission: Appointed to Make an Investigation of the System of Assessment, Revenue and Taxation Now in Force in This State To the General Assembly of Virginia: Pursuant of the act of Assembly, entitled "An Act to provide for the appointment of a commission upon the reform and revision of the tax and assessment laws of Virginia; to define its duties; provide compensation for its members and to make an appropriation therefor," approved March 14, 1910, the undersigned organized on June 28, 1910. Douglas S. Freeman of the city of Richmond was chosen as expert member and Secretary of the Commission. In submitting herewith the results of our investigation we are glad to report harmony among the members of the Commission. We regret however, the resignation of Senator George B. Keezell, which left a vacancy in the Commission. We could have wished that the ripe experience of this gentleman had been brought to bear on our work. It has been our purpose, throughout our work, to make such recommendations alone as were practical and operative. Many theories of taxation have in consequence been discarded and many plans of reforms have been rejected because, in our judgment, they were not of practical value to the Commonwealth. The recommendations which follow we believe to be of immediate importance, practical, advisable and feasible. Following our report will be found an Appendix containing the various reports filed with us by our Secretary. In these will be found all the tables and detailed information to which we refer elsewhere. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
