Some of the negro newspapers are still taking falls out of Roosevelt. Whether that is to be regarded as a compliment to him, or the reverse. probably depends on the point of view, but at all events they are not ufani- nous in brotherly feeling towards him. As an example we take this from The National Review, one of the organs of New York colored citizens:

ELASTICITY IN TAXATION.

The Roanoke World has been very
favorably impressed with the sugges
ton made by The Times Dispatch, to
having the State relieve all personal
property in The counties and cities of
taxation for State purposes. and leav-
ing the assessment and collection of
taxes upon personal property to the
counties and cities, respectively, and
require each county and city to pay
its own criminal expenses
1t believes that under the operation
of such a system assessments would
be equalized, crime and criminal en-
penses reduced, more personal property
brought to book. and local affairs bet
ter administered. 1t also agrees with
'rhe Times-D;spatch that il all lands
in Virginia We're assessed by the rule
OF uniformity provided in the Consti-
tuition, the States revenues from real
estate would be largely increased,
without raising the rate OF taxation
This proposition is by no means new
1t is an old principle somewhat diff
ferently applied. Professor Edwin r.
A. seiigman. OF Columbia University
who is regarded as the leading au-
thority on taxation in the United
States. for many years has advocated
the divorce of State from local taX-
ntion and the raising cf u large part
of the revenue for State purposes by
special taxes
But in a recent article on the sub
iect he points out the objection to
relying exclusively for State revenue
upon special taxes. Every modern
system of taxation says lie, must
possess the element of elasticity" and
his. he declares, is gained when the
State derives its revenues by taxation
on q large number of subjects, espe-
ciplly on renl and personal property.
IN that case. when the State desires to
increase its revenues, it has only 10
increase the rate of taxation, whereas,
under the special tax system, it would
have to find q hew SUBJECT of taxation.
But this objection would not apply
TO our proposal Virginia now derives
her revenues from real and personal
property. incomes, collateral inheri-
tanoe, corporation franchises. oysters,
fertilizers. licenses and the capitation
tax. which must be paid as q pre-
requisite 10 voting. The State also
derives considerable net revenue
from the peni,entiary. If all these sub
lects do not provide elasticity in her
system, 1t would be hard to dovise
my system that would. The State tax
on personal property brings in rev
snue OF less than 100000 year, and
IN lieu OF exemption we propose that
zach city aud county be required to
pay its own criminal expenses, which
would save the State a yearly expendi-
lure of 100000.
What is the objection to the change?
