DAYLIGHT ON THE TAX QUESTION.

DAYLIGHT ON THE TAX QUESTION.
From tho mazes OF the tax discus
sion in tho Senate the central point
at issue is emerging triumphant.
While the members differ as to the
membership OF the tax commission,
and while they are wrangling over the
minor features of the tax commission
hill. tho Senators are practically
| agreed that taN-expert shall be en-
ploved as tho real controlling force
| of the commission.
| This is the all-important question.
| This is the feature Of the bill. for
I which The Times Dispatch has most
urgently contcnded. This Is the clause
| without which, in our judgment. the
| measure would be wellnigh useless.
| once this is conceded, and once COM
pctent tax expert is authorized, the
pcople, we think. will be most willing
to leave the choice of the other mem
bers OF the commission to the wisdom
of the Assembly.
We believe, however, that sound
/ policy will dictate the choice OF taS
commissioners who are familiar viii
as many aspects of the states indus.
4 tries as possible We should not hay.
, all legislators: We should not have
all farmers; we should not have al
] manufacturers. We should hav
] broad minded men, preferably iron
i different sections of the state, who's
combined experience Will give thu
commission an adequate and first
hand knowledge of existing conditions
, and problems in the state
For this reason it strikes US tina,
a compromise between the plans OF.
! fered by tho committee and by Sena-
tor Holland will best meet the needs
OF the state. 1t would be good busi-
ness sense to have the chairman OF
] the Corporation Commission and the
| Governor of the State on the commits
| sion. Both are men of wide expert
ence; both are familiar with many
| phases of the tax question. But we
think they Should not be the only
members OF the COMMISSION. Aieo-
gethcr apart from the fact that Judge
Prentis and Governor Mann cannot
give the necessary time to detailed
study of the tax question. other men
who know conditions with which the
Governor and the chairman are I'M
familiar should give the expert the
| advantage of their knowledge Tho
original. plan of Senator King. In our
judgment, best provided for the APP
pointment OF such men.
But this, we repeat. is minor mat
ter. The real achievement is the en-
| ployment OF an expert for technical
work. A trained man, uninfluenced
| by politics, Is to be given task the
| completion of which will make Viz
rinia. greater and richer. The Senate
has taken step forward in practical
" deciding this matter. 1t has done
