The Tax Appeal Court has begun its sittings with fewer appeals from assessment before it, than it ever had.
This is probably due in large part to the fact that most of the possible questions that could arise under our present revenue laws have been raised and decided.
Though this is true, there seems no more real contentment with our revenue laws than there ever was.
Revenue laws are most difficult legislation.
If the general dissatisfaction which prevails here, as everywhere with revenue laws arouses the spirit of change and revision, it is to be hoped that the revision will only be undertaken after the most thorough study of the whole subject.
A commission for this purpose, if composed of men who would devote effort to the study and give time sufficient for it, ought to be able to make a report of real value.
