Abstract

A new Charter of Absurdity in American Local Taxation
Wells, David A. | February 6, 1873 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the changes in the American local taxation. The American opinion regarding the Local Taxation is that in order to secure exact justice and equality, it is essential to subject all property of the taxpayer to one uniform rate of valuation and assessment. The abrogation and reform of the unjust and absurd systems of local taxation at present, and for the affecting of which neither argument nor the lessons of experience have thus far availed anything, seems likely at no distant day to be accomplished, as has been the case in times past in England, through the decisions of the courts of ultimate appeal and jurisdiction.
