Looking to this end of equitable assessment of taxes in this State, Dr. Haper advocates the creation of the office of a state tax commissioner, citing the example of West' Virginia, one of the most succeafdl eastern 8tates in the matter of taxation, where such an office is a factor in the taxation machinery. Further, the economics professor urges the mak- ^ ing of the county as the iinlt. instead of the present unit, the township. Official announcement has been mado to the 'effect that "The John Calvin.
