A neighbours Amusement.

What has put 1t into the mind OF our
ocular contemporary. the KShmond Eve
ming Journal that Mr.. Lewis Fl. Blair
imposed upon The Times-Dispatch. and
that we printed his article on compulsory
education under q misrepresentation OF It's
tlinly-veiled satire? The Times-Dispntch
is not an organ. but n newspaper, and its
columns are open to polite discussions of
all publ C questions. whether or not the
writer concurs in our views. II our
jocose neighbor will consult the files
of The Times Dispatch. 1t will find more
communications and newspaper clippings
IN opposition to compulsory education
than in favor Of 1t. But our rule is to
give both sides.
Mr.. Blair's article. however. satirizes
entire public school system. and his argu-
ments, which appeal so convincingly to
our merry contemporary are strong
against the whole public school system
as against any feature OF 1t, compulsory
attendance or what not. In fact. we have
understood for years that Mr.. Blair BIT
terly opposed the principle of educating
the children of the people at the public
expense. Therefore
1t seems to us pertinent to inquire of
our mirthful contemporary. which has
been led by Mr.. Blair's reasoning to
logical and unacceptable conclusions"

IL, in its opiniori, the State
has the right to prohibit children from
working in factories. How far has the
State to interfere in all such matters?

Wecvil can be killed in corn or any

and as the vapor is heavy 1t sinks down
through the grain killing all weevi. The
grain should be In bins preferably and
after the bisulphide is put on the grain
all should be covered with cloth to keep
the vapor in. When the grain is in a
pile good results are obtained by cover
ing 1t with cloth. Great care should be
taken not to have fire anywhere around
when using carbon bisulphide. asst burns
very readily and as 1t is very valatile.
1t takes fire very easily. The building
should be closed for twenty-four hours
after the bisulphidc is applied and then
opened and thoroughly aired. I 1t requires

about 20 cents a pound: in large quanti-
ties, very much cheaper. Meal should

Sir,-ln your editorial Of this morning

am quoted as authority FOR q statement

Your correspondent is mistaken--tfle

quote was not with reference TO Pulaskl--
but referred to the counties OF Grnyson
and l'loyd--when citizens OF those coull,
ties appeared, NOT before the III
NANCE, COMMIrTEEi OF TIE SEN
ATE" but before committees OF the Gem
crnl Assembly, asking enabling acts TO
permit the issue OF bonds for, railroad sub
seriptions voted by them which were IN
excess OF the amount permitted ny me
general law Mt that time. The plea upon
which this was asked was that the as
srssment Of both real and personal prop
erty In these counties IN no sense meas,
ured the real value OF their, property, ana
many statcmants were made when went
to show that property was assessed ut

be wiped out; that the books Of the COM

seems to us desirable and which we shall
outline In another issue.

And | now repeat, that the State within.

But the individual Is not helpless be-

Our Assessment System.

In Sundays Issue OF The Times-Dis-
patch a correspondent quoted Senator
George b. Keezell as saying that at a
recent session of the General Assembly
Pulaski county wanted to issue bonds
for new railroad and that representa-
tlves of the county stated that their as
sessed valuations were on a basis of only
twenty cents on the dollar.
Senator keczell, in a card to The Times
Dispatch. nrinted to-day, says that our
correspondent is mistaken in saying that
ii was Pulaski county. The counties re-
ferrcd TO. says Senator Keezell, were
Grayson and Floyd. When citizens of
those counties appeared, he continues,
not before the Finance Committee of the
Senate. but before committees of the Gem
eral Assembly, asking enabling acts TO
permit the issue of bonds for railroad
subscription voted by them. which We're
in excess OF amount permitted by the
general law at that time, they made the
plea that the assessment of both real
and personal property in those counties
i'll no sense measured the value thereof
and that many statements were made
which went TO show that the property
was assessed at but n fraction of its real
value.
We regret that Pulaski county was
thus unfairly dragged into the discussion
and we make the correction as prominent
as possible. But this correction in no way
weakens the contention of our CORE
spondent that assessments are unequal
and that In some sections property is
assessed at very nearly its market value,
whereas in others the assessment is mere
Iy nominal. whilst the Constitution and
the law says that all property shall be
assessed at its fair market value" re-
marks Senator keezell, il concluding his
communication, if the land assessors in
county or the Commissioner of revenue
adopt an arbitrary basis, so that in diff
fcrent counties it may be left to the local
authorities to decide upon. we have no
machinery in our law for an equalization
as between counties and the grossest in
equalities may and do exist"
But we ought to nave some machinery
for carrying out the law as 1t is written
The language of the Constitution is that
all assessments OF real and tangible
personal property shall be at their fair
market value to be ascertained as pre-
seribed by law" That is the only fair
and sensible basis of assessment, and the
law should be strictly enforced in all
sections. 1t is the only way that taxa
ton can be made equal and uniform on
the same class Of property, as the Con-
stitution provides, The rule is fixed, and
IT is good rye but. it is not uniformly
enforced. Tstc General Assembly should
appoint commission 10 take the entire
subject in hand and recommend a just
and practicable plan of assessment There
is no more important subject claiming the
attention Of our Lawmakers.
