Taylor to the Forty-Sixth General Assembly of the State of Tennessee: Thursday, January 10, 1889 Experience has demonstrated the futility of all effort to make assessments exactly equal upon all classes. It seems to be a problem incapable of exact solution, although there has been no lack of diligence on the part of our General Assemblies to tax all men and all interests alike. Our present system has brought'good results at least in that it has yielded more revenue, but it is questionable if this has not been accomplished at the expense of exact equality of assessment. Your duty is to see that all citizens stand equal, that no interest should be over taxed, that lands should have first concession, being the source of all the substance of the people; that industrial enterprises Shall have the least possible embargo laid upon it, as along this line lies the road to our greatest wealth. The law should be so amended as to equalize as far as possible the burdens of taxa tion, and I need not admonish you carefully to investigate to see wherein its defects lie.
