OPINION MIXED ON
COMPRESS COTTON RATE
Fight of Munger System
Against Big Presses.

While the merits of the petition pre-
scented by Mr.. Harvie Jordan to the
Railroad Commission asking that
rates on compressed cotton be reduc-
ed are not fully understood among
local cotton men, opinion differs as
to the desirability of the change sug-
gested
Some factors are inclined to believe
that it is fight by the railroads, that
own the big congresses, to retain
their monopoly. 1t is pointed out that
the Munger process is the competitor
of the big congresses, being only
small fraction as expensive and turn
ing out a bale in every way as salts
factory as the big congresses. The
Munger system, however, is only
workable when the cotton is first
ginned.
1t is contended by the advocates of
the freight reduction that the planter
can get his cotton compressed by the
new process at nearby gins and thus
save the proposed reductions. Nearly
double the number of bales can be
loaded in a car when the cotton has
been compressed.
On the other side some of the local
dealers could not see much advantage
to be gained in any instance, while
for the communities where the Nun
ger system was not installed the gins
would be at a considerable disadyan-
tage, as farmers would endeayor to
reach the gin which secured the low
est freight rate The belief that the
railroads have been made the object
of "orders" to the point of embarras-
sing them too far, was also entertain
ed. The proposed reduction would
in any event benefit one gin which
could put in the process to the in
jury of another which could not, the
expense Of the new compress being
about $4,000.
AS already indicated little interest
is taken locally in the petition. The
opinions have been formed on a super
fetal view of the matter, no one ex-
pressing familiarity with all of it's
intricacies.

Roosevelt and His PARTY.

The doctrine which President Roosc-

ing in opposition to the rights of the
States is not even true Republican
doctrine. In 1856 the Republican con-
yention declared that the maintenance
of the principles promulgated in the
Declaration OF independence and en-
bodied in the Federal Constitution is
essential to the preservation of our
republican institutions, and that the
Federal Constitution, the rights OF the
State. and the union of the States shall
be preserved" The convention of 1860
went even farther. and on its platform
resolved:
THAT the maintenance inviolate OF
the rights of the States, and especially
the right of each State to order and
control its own domestic institutions
according TO its own Judgment cxclu-
sivcly. is essential to that balance of
power on which the perfection and en-

The Ethics of Taxation.

es1 1t Is a principle of Democracy that
4 taxation should be limited to the neces-
4 stiles OF government wisely and ccono-
of Democracy that every dollar taken
from the pockets of the people beyond
such necessities Is unjust taxation. But
1T is false economy for a government to
stint itself, and thereby fail to meet it's
4 obligations, when tho Taxpayers are able
and willing to pay. Taxation In Rich
7nond is not burdensome. Tho assessment
is high, but the ratio is low, and the
people in general are willing to pay it.,
PROVIDED THE REVENUES THUS
DERIVED ARE WE'LL EXPENDED
FOR THEIR COMFORT AND CoNvEN-
FENCE. There is no demand for a lofe
rate. On the contrary, we are Informed
that ESQ property-owners requested that
might be able to pay for all paving and
relieve them of the annoyance Of paying
petty paving bills. Be that rs it may,
there Is no general demand for a reduc-
ton in the rate, and The Times Dispatch
is convinced that it would be n mistake
for the Council to adopt the recon-
nendation of the Finance Committee to
lover the rate from $l.4O to sl.35 on the
hundred
The slight reduction in rate would help
Il nobody, but the deduction Of $4,000 from
the city's revenues would mean short

stof more station men, and the Board OF

Rnce, especially for fighting tuberculosis.
This is SO urgent that the public will
take no refusal. The Street Cleaning
Department should by all means be en-
abled to use water liberally for flushing
g5the streets, and there are various, other
demands which are Imperative. The city
can use the extra $4,000 to great adj
