VIRGINIA'S NEEDS

a The days OF blind and supreme self
satisfaction havo passed, and tho time
has come when men desire rather to look
4 cold facts In the face and to profit by the
experience of others. 1t is an age of
comprehension agd,of comparisons Men
are not satisfied to stand where their fa-
theirs stood: they are not satisfied with
the fruits OF tho past. we demand
growth in the present and look forwa I'd
tic greater rewards In the future We are
determined to excel others, and even to
surpass ourselves. This alone Is success.
There is spirit In the air that makes
us anxious TO move forward and to In
crease every possession in every DEPART
ment of life, This Is the eager and In
spring breath Of tho twentieth century,
and It is well td inhae it deeply
We lev In great days, an epoch OF
\ renown:-so history will declare-for the
Old Dominion. Much has recently been
done to establish anew her foundations
What more can now be done 10 broaden
them and promote permanent prosperity?
In two words. we need more men, and we
need more money or available credits, for
the development of our resources. Our
population must be Increased BY Undue
ing our young men to stay at home and
4 by inviting immigration from other States
and countries, Increased opportunities
and facilities for business VIII accomplish
both OF these aims. But business re.
quires capital. and we must foster and
enlarge the basis OF credit
Now, the Auditors report for 1902 shows
that properiytin Virginia consists of real
estate assessed at sa275l499l and per-
sonalty assessed at sll2,s59, !GS. This re-
port further shows that the taxes In 1902
were Sl,457,2s2,S from realty and silo, $50 60
from personally Thus the assessed value
+ of real estate in Virginia Is about three
times that Of personal estate, and tho
taxes derived from realty in 1902 were
more than three times the amount de-
z rived from personally. We should there
fore do all that can be done to promote

THE PRIMARY PLAN.

,,fs According to the programme arranged
by the two houses of the General Assem-
95Sffg bly, they will take a recess from the 18th
OF May until the month Of November, and
there is n vast deal OF work to be done
Shy them in the next few weeks One Of
1.-THE subjects which remains to be disposed
sS5of Is that relating to primary elections.
ss ssssf While there Is some question whether
s sthc expenses OF the primaries ought to
y be paid BY the public, ortby contributions

public there lis none-certainly there

islnture may so, confidently relying upon
n the support Of the people. II
The elections to take place this fall will
!stbc Of great Importance and most of the
nominations of candidates will be made
4 by primaries. Hence the necessity for
I. the Legislature to give to those pri-S
8anaries the fullest protection of the law.
The matter Of Financing the pri-
Smaries-the payment Of Ethe expenses In
cldent to thenl--is also still undetermined.
B It is difficult-we do not say impossible
Ito see how a successful State primary
could be conducted unless provision be
made for paying It's cost by the cities
and counties but local primaries have
gotten along very well hitherto without
public aid,
We know that in South Carolina and In
some other States State primaries have
been held without help from the public
treasury, but we are reliably informed
that In Georgia and Alabama strong ef-
,foyts are now being made to cause the
a public to assume the costs of State prl-
Is maries. 4 VIII

that 1t was conducted by sincere men. who

OUR SYSTEM OF TAXATION.

rho MONTGOMERY Advertiser reprodlices
n paragraph from an article IN lttn'sss
paper on the income tax, in which which we
said that the fatal defect Of the income ON
tax law III Virginia was the exemption ~
clause, ana in which we expressed me
opinion that all individuals and al !, cor cor
porations should pay q moderate tolerate tax
on their incomes. whether great or small.
It adds: 81 54 " NH
"As The Times-Dispntch snys. each
person and corporation should bear a
lust proportion OF the expenses Of govern
nent; but how to accomplish mat en-,
Is the difficulty which no law has YET
surmounted. The exemption clause IN
a revenue law is always a source OF worry
to- the officials and Of loss to the State,
aud this Is especially applicable to N
como taxes. If no income Is taxed nn.
less It exceeds 5000 d year, It leaves a
loop-holo for escape which thousands
will take advantage Of. And. to come
down to the strict equity Of IL, why
should not the mar, who receives n yearly
income Of 5000 or $500 pay something for
the support Of the government as well
as the one who receives ten times rs
much? Each receives the protection Of
the laws in an equal degree, ana eaeh
lis equally benefited by good governm ent
and It is difficult to see why one should
escape all share of the burden" i5 r. ~
Taxation lis necessary. and, within rea-
sonable bounds It is right. In tho in
terest Of society we must have govern
ment. and government must have. reve-s
nue., and Its revenue must come from the

should be made as light as the nccessi-
ties OF government permit, and the bur-
den should be made to rest as evenly ~
possible upon all. .3
All 'fair-mnded men are willing to
bear their part OF the burden, but 40
man is willing to bear moro than his
part and every man Is resentful when
he finds that he Is made to pay, while
equally vas able. and sometimes
more able are exempt. Here lis a poor
machine, which sho uses day and nigh:
to make scant support for herself and
those dependent upon her. And here is
an able bodied man who has salary Of
fifty dollars a month, but no visible ef-
fects. The woman Is made to pay taxes /
on her sewing machine and on all her
little possessions in the household, be-
cause sho has property" whereas the
man who has no effects goes free. Wo
do not say that the owner Of the sewing
machine should be exempt, because there
must be one rule Of taxation for all
owners Of sewing machines. But we do
say that the man with the income Of $500
a year should be made to pay. also.
1t is useless to argue that point In Vlr-I
gnia, however. for under the Cons THU
ton all incomes OF 5000 and under are
exempt, and we have no idea that an
to the Constitution to abol-
ish that clause would carry. However
II the income tax law, as 1t now stands
were rigdly enforced against corpora
lions and individuals. the State would
get a much larger revenue than 1t is
getting from that source If the law is
to be retained let It be fairly enforced !;
II 1t is not to be enforced, let 1t be re.
penled.
