PUBLIC EXPENDITURES.

The statement recently published by the
Auditor of Public Accounts OF disburSe-
ments in several counties of the Com
monwealtl for the year ending July 3lst,
1900, showed that many of the counties
of Virginia are spending a considerable
sum Of money in road Improvement This
is a gratifying exhibit, but do the tax
payers in the several counties know just
how this money is being expended? Do
they know whether or not il is being
expended judiciously? These arc ques-
tons which the Taxpayers should ask
anG which the various Boards of Super
5isors should answer in detail. The
Boards of Supervisors are required under
law to make d public exhibit of their
receipts and disbursements, and these
exhibits should show, as far as possible.
exactly how the appropriations for road
improvement are expended.
There is a way to cXpend this money
judiciousy and adyantageously. and
there is a way to waste it. 1t may be
honestly disbursed and yet in such a way
as not to produce the best results. The
work should be carried on according to
scientific methods. Every county which
appropriates a considerable sum of money
for this purpose should have intelii-
gent engineer to map out and supervise
the work. 1t is better TO build a few
miles of substantial road each year than
to do Il little slipshod work here and
there over a large extent of territory.
We are not making charges. for we do
not know that there is any ground for
charges. We arc simply calling the at
tcntion of the taxpayers to a matter
which seriously concerns them. They are
taxing themselves for a purpose. and
they ought to see to it that the money
which they are paying is applied to the
very best advantage.

EDUCATION OF THE NEGRO.

One of the most serious questions to
come before the Constitutional Conven-
ton has to do with the education of the
negro. From all that we can learn, it
will be seriously proposed to apply the
school money collected from white tax
payers TO the support of the white schools
and the school money collected from
negro taxpayers to the support of the
negro schools. The Times is opposed TO
this plan. We believe that it would be
cruel for the white people of this State
to turn the negro adrift and to tell him
to educate himself with his own resources.
The negro IS here, and it is our duty TO
help him to improve himself. We believe
that the State should continue to appro-
pirate as much money, at least, as 1t
has been appropriating to the education
Of the negro But 1t is a debatable ques-
ton as to whether or not the money is
being expended to the best advantage,
whether or not we are giving the negro
the kind of education that Is best adapt
ed to his needs.
In view of this it has been suggested
that i conference Of the prominent eGu-
Gators throughout the State be held be-
fore tho Constitutional Convention meets
that there may be an exchange of views
on this subject Educators from other
sections might be invited to attend, and
the views of such colored men as Booker
Washington would be interesting and
instructive. The professional teachers of
Virginia are better qualified than laymen
to solve ,Ilis problem, and if they would
put their heads together and arrive at
conclusions they would do the State a
valuable service.
The times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1890-1903, 1901-01-20

times pointed out. And 50 it happens
that those communities in which the
assessment is high pay more than their
Just share of State taxation, for the tax
rate for the Commonwealth is the same
everywhere
1t is obvious that this inequality would
be done away with if certain subjects
OF taxation were assigned exclusively to
tho State and others to the several coun-
ties and cities of the State. Then each
community could assess it's own property
in its own way. and it would make no
sort OF difference to other communities
whether the valuation was high or low
This is the very essence of local self
government, and we believe that that
principle should be applied wherever 1t
is possible to do so. Let each separate
community take care of its own affairs,
make its own regulations, raise it's reve-
nue. from its own taxable property, ana
we come as near as possible to the per-
lection of Democratic government.

A NEW SCHEME OF TAXATION.

A novel taxation scheme is now under
consideration in the General Assembly of
Missouri. It is proposed to assign the
railways and property of public utility
corporations to the State as its exclusive
source of revenue. leaving other property
to the local government to be taxed for
local purposes only.
This is an admirable plan, If. under it.
the State can raise sufficient revenue
without putting too heavy a burden unon
its exclusive subjects of taxation. Under
our scheme in Virginia taxation is far
from being equal and uniform" as the
Constitution requires, for the reason that
there is no uniformity OF assessment. In
the cities real estate is usually assessed
at its full market value, while In the
country districts the assessment is Moth
ing like so high. as rule, and in some
sections the taxable valuation is merely
nominal. The same inequality exists. in
