Mr.. Throcknorton is out IN now
plan to better the roads OF Henrico
county. Like his original Aiggcstion.
this plan involves u bond issue. There
Is, however. this marked distinction,
that the interest and sinking fund for
the proposed bond Issue will not be an
added burden on the tax-paycrs OF
Brookland District. is
Mr.. Throckmortons plan avoids this
burden by providing that sufficient
sum be set apart from the amount now
spent annually bY Henrico county to
meet the interest and the sinking fund
for 100000 bonds. The present plan
is free from many OF the objections
which attended the original sugges-
ton. The advantages OF the plan are
that the money to be spent on the
roads will be laid out under the direc-
ton OF the State Highiay Commits
sion. thus avoiding the extravaganza
and incompetence that has characters
lied the great majority Of the road
building done by county supervisors.

thereby reducing the cost to the p.blic
one-half. Again, by adopting this
plan the roads may be built at once.
without having to wait for the slow
process Of annual construction based
on annual levies
The sole doubt that occurs to The
Times Dispatch in considering this
proposition is the accuracy OF the.
figures given by Mr.. Throckmorton.
We have no doubt that these figures
are based upon the best information
obtainable, but il. would certainly help
to have an temized statement prepared
by the Board Of Supervisors showing
exactly what has been spent for peg
manent construction, and what for re-
pairs to the roads OF Henrico county
Tor the last three or four years. This
information, with the recent State law
should give a satisfactory basis fos
testing MI. Tlrockmorton's suggestion.
We doubt whether bonds can be sold
al I L. per cent, but even so, II the
other figures are correct, the plan
seems desirable and good.

1NEau1TAnLE ASSESSMENTS.

Equitable taxation will sooner or
later receive the attention that It de-
serves. Railroad rebates and trust
favoritism have been in large meas
ure eliminated from the commercial
life of America. With the passing Of
these abuses went two OF the most
prolific sources of injustice and unfair
advantage with which the ordinary
citizen had to contend; but in their es-
sence. unequal assessments for taxation
are even more wron gful.
Recently The Times-Dispatch called
attention to how assessing farm prop
erty below its real value reacted to the
|detriment of the whole community.
Our editorial was repeated In full in
the Fredericksburg Journal. and in
large part in the Charlotte Observer
The Journal makes this comment:
we are pleased TO see that our
neighbors are beginning to realize the
necessity OF agitating this subject, and
II the newspapers throughout the
State will make united effort TO
secure the passage of BILL stripped
of all legal j technicalities, that will
compel all assessors of property for
taxation to list everything at fair
cash valuation as to its market value,
our revenues will be increased without
increasing the tax rate single dollar
And the Charlotte Observer says:
Counties and towns which seek to
cheat the State at large by keeping
their valuation absurd!y low are pun
ished more than they think. What i'm
preston must outside people with
money to invest form of communities
where land is rated as worth extreme
ly little? When too, the investigator
found high tax rate also confronting
him, he would hardly look or Inquire
further. Thus the bad advertising
consequent upon low valuations and
correspondence hi--h tax rates gets
In its work The community which
shows up with good. round values
and a low or at least very reasona BILE
tax rate, fares Just the reverse. We
quite agree with our Virginia con-
temporary that the question whether
false assessments pay admits of but
one answer.
