the property owners and tho proport own
ers Ill them out to suit themselves nnd no
questions are asked. The upshot Of 1t Is
that every property owner ls q law unto
himself and makes his own assessments
according to his own view and conscience.
We wo not make this charge and we do
not vo,ich for 1t. we cannot believe that
commissioners of the revenue in
general adopt the method mention
ed by our correspondent, but we
have reason to believe that they are
by no means as careful and painstakirg
and cxac.ing as they should be; and
that there is no uniformity In our sys-
tenn of assessments, there is abundant
testimony In tho tabulated reports from
year to year OF tho Auditor OF Public
Accounts.
There is no more important subject than
this for the General Assembly now In
session to deal with. If we had In Vir-
sinia system of assessments that would
bring to book ali property subject to taxa
ton, If we had system that would make
every property holder bear his just por-
ton Of the public burden, no more, no
less. we could abolish every species of
double taxation and largely increase the
revenues of state without Increasing the
rate of taxation.

Our Mayor.

We prefer n Mayor who does some
wrong and foolish things and some very
good ones to u Mayor who does nothing
An occasional outbreak into absurditles
may be overlooked philosophically IN view
of a consistent course of enterprise, VlSl-
lance and energy. Nothing is better for
n community than to have its local gov
eminent constantly prominent before It's
observations and with it's thoughts OF
course. n sedate. cool-headed ana dlsnihed
Mayor would be gratifying to nave ana
maybe some day we will tinG and elect
man who combines all the desired quail
ties. AS the case stands, however, we
assure our deriding friends that If The
News Leader helped to elect Mayor Nc
Carthy it is not yet sorry. 1t is entirely
possible too. that he may improve and
ripen as time goes on and he becomes
more accustomed TO his responsibilities
Richmond News Leader.
That is chivalrous. just and sensible.
Mayor Mccarthy has done those things
which he ought not to have done, but he
cannot be fairly accused of having left
undone those things which he ought to
have done. He has been very busy
Mayor. He has. attended to the public
business. He has been like sentinel
On the watch tower He has an eagle
eye and plenty OF courage behind it, and
if he lacks discretion. he does not lack
zeal.

against stagnation, and a most sensible
prayer. The danger to Christianity and
democratic government is indifference.
In agitation there is life and health.
Mayor Mccarthy is a splendid stirrer
He hates stagnation, and he will not
have 1t. He keeps the pot boiling. He
keeps the people guessing, and in so doing
rivets their attention on public affairs
For years this community was fleeced
by fake canvassers for good objects, and
the abuse went on. Nobody knew how to
stop ii. At any rate, nobody did stop it.
But Mccarthy stopped it with sudden
jerk and stirred up the whole community,
and ran the arch fakir to cover and made
him and his profession and the whole
system thi talk of the town. That
sort of faidns"ins seen its day in Rich
mond, and the credit is due to Mccarthy S
eagle eye and general stirring up quail
ties,
Co right along, Mr.. Mayor. Keep your
temper down, but keep on stirring. 1t is
as necessary to good government and
public morals as storms in nature are
necessary TO keep the atmosphere sweet
and pure and healthfu

the proposal for n state survey. virginia
ia rich in minerals. in coal and iron, IN
granite and building stones In clay aud
mineral waters, and yet there has boon
no geological survey for nearly n century
Virgin!a Is the only Southern state which
has no survey, except the Suite of Flor
ida, and Florida has no mineral deposits
This survey should be begun at once
and should be continued until we have
charts showing where NIL the mineral
deposits are, their extent and their value.
AS much OF the work az possible should
be done before the jamestown Exposition
is held. and this Legislature should pro-
vide the means. Such survey would
largely more than pay for Itself In short
order, for inquiries are coming in all
the time from investors who are look
ing for auch deposits as Virginia sou
contains.

Commissioners of Revenue.

Editor of the Times-Dispatch: 49,.
sr,--l see that some mr ~, OF WY
Legislature. has offered Il bill that com,
missioners of the revenue ,lc alpo ,,la,,a
by the district Judges, which is a move
in the right direction for many rea-
sons. ,;.a

eufolument of the o!ti':a ana then en-
ploy some one else to do the work. Ihey

SOME young man. and often a BOY OF no
experience and Judgment as 10 the real
yalue Of property--such as horses, mules,
cattle houses, furniture. farming lmple-
ments and so on. And the result is that
erty at his own price, and most always
at mere song. And nrany cases the man
is not found at home. and then a plank
is left at his house for him to III out
and send to the commissioner, which is
never done, especially II his property Is
worth more than it was the year before;
and when the book is made out, which
is done nine times out OF ten by some
same rs the year before. And besides
that, these employed assessors not know
ing the country, nor the people, both
white and colored. who live back of the
road, a-number Of them are left not as
sessed at all. And when the treasurer
goes around to collect his taxes he goes
to a mans house ana after getting there
he finds that he has no tax ticket against
him. know men who haven't paid any
taxes for year after year, because the
treasurer and no ticket against them.
And In this way the State has lost and
is still losing an immense amount of
money.
Now the remedy: Let the Legislature
pass this bill, requiring the Judge to ap-
point commissioners of the revenue; let
him appoint men of good Judgment and
discretion as to the value OF the property
he has to assess. and lot him be a man
of tirmness and decision of character, to
put the property at a fair cash value.

1.-Two Important State Questions.

The calls upon the General Assembly
for appropriations are so many and the
amounts so large that the members must
of necessity go slow in voting away pub
lie funds. But Virginia is a progressive
State and II is but natural that the de-
mands upon her bounty should Increase
from year to year. our public school
system becomes more and more expensive
and so do our institutions of learning
and our institutions for the care of the
insane and the afflicted. All the de-
mands cannot be met in full, but some
OF the calls are imperative.
In 1907 there is be an industrial ex-
position in the Tidewter section. and
whether the Legislature will have 1t so
or not, the world understands Ii to be
State exposition, and the State cannot
disown 1t. The president of the COM
pany has bten visiting foreign lands ana
agents are now visiting the States of the
Union and sounding the praises OF the
forthcoming Virginia exposition. There
has been generous response at home and
abroad and Virginia is compelled, whether
SHE would Or not, 10 do her part, she
must have State buildings ana size must
make every provision for her exhibits and
for suitable entertainment of distinguish
ed visitors. The reputation of tho old
Dominion for hospitality and enterprise
b is at stake. We must entertain our Wis
!tors as becomes our rank ana fame, ana
we must show to the'world that, although
Virginia Is the mother Of states, sho is

her cAildsen. An appropriation for this

How Not to Restrict immigration

The Senate Is fortunate In having at
the head of its Committee on Immigration
such n man as William p. Dillingham;
Immigration is n large subject, and the
Vermont senator has brought to 1t both
the intelligence and the close attention
IL deserves. He makes mn excellent
check on the too-radical Commissioner
Sargent. Mr. Sargent Is for taking ac-
tive steps to cut down sum,marily the
present large influx of aliens to this
country. He would aim directly at the
quantity of immigration. Senator Dill
lngham however, believes that our Ell
forts should be directed toward improv-
ing its quality.
The senator's position. We believe, Is
sounder than the commissioners. Immi-
grafton has brought us its evident evils
| but they are not the evils of mere num-
| bers. Except In two or three centers. al
| ready abnormally congested. this country
| has not been overcrowded by the In
pouring of too many foreigners. We
have not suffered from excessive immi-
grafton. On the contrary. we have stf-
fered. are suffering to-day. from too

The trouble with our immigration in
the past has been, OF course, not in
| amount. but in kind. We have let down
the bars too Unfortunately. We have
made 1t simple for crowded old-world

of course, highly necessary We want

In the celebrated Town Topics case 1t
has been again decided that an editor
may not be punished when he tells the

hawk has stricken down. What avails
the wealth of those social leaders who
now stand stripped of every vestige of
courage or self-respect?
And how do the readers OF Town Topics
feel? They furnished the gallery, they
supported the paper. They made 1T pos
sible for the despicabe brlgands to WELD
the club of publicity. A sorry spectacle
surely!
1t avails nothing to say. II only read
what was printed anyhow" For every
reader lent his moral and financial sup
port to a venture that was maintained by
the most brutal blackmail. The burden
of responsibility cannot be so easily es-
capped. The reader is the abettor. The
subscriber is the assistant.
Nor should Mr. Jerome be forgotten.
What Colonel Mann would never have
done for himself, Mr.. Jerome did for
him. Fresuming that the colonels blood
would boil at the charge of Hapsood, Mr..
Jerome, to prevent a breach of the
peace" instituted suit for criminal libel.
And so, unwittingly Colonel Mann found
himself where he ought TO be. in u Grim
inal court.
And the infinite chicanery, fraud and
meanness of Town Topics are laid bare.
All the world now knows the truth. but
will this knowledge make 1t Impossible
for Town Topics to repeat It's history?

Compulsion in the Constitution,

Those esteemed citizens who have such
Il horror of compulsory EDUCATION, who
imagine that a compulsory law in Vir-
ginia would mean that policeman or
d constable would have the right to
come into their homes, take their chill
dren by the collar and lead them away
to the public schools, whether or not are
the Legislature might enact would be re-
stricted in its provisions to the limita-
ton OF the Constitution.
Section 13S of article TX reads:
1.-THE General Assembly may, in its dis
erection, provide for the compulsory edu-
cation OF children between the ages of
| eight and twelve years, except such as
are weak in body or mind, or can read
and write, or are attending private
| schools, or are excused for cause by the
! district school trustees"
1t will be observed that under a State
compulsory law. all children would he
exempt who We're under eight and over
twelve years of age. All children even
within that age would be exempt If they
| could read and write, or II they were
attending private schools, which, of
course includes proper instruction car
ried on in the home. and further
exemption would be made of children
who were mentally or physically unfit to
attend school. AS If that We're not
enough, the act would give discretion to
school trustees to excuse, for causes any
| child or children upon whom the opera

With these restrictions there would he
no hardships, no trespass upon the rights
OF parents, and the increase in number
Of pupils would hardly be sufficient, as
many contend. to overwhelm the schools.
