MILL-TAX FOR
EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM

Richmond, Va, Feb. 8.-Mr.
Charles G Maphis, secretary of
the Virginia Educational Com
mission, in recent visit to this
city, spoke enthusiastically of
the Proposed Mill-Tax for the
support of the various educa
tional institutions of the State.
AT present there is a State
tax of ten cents for public free
schools. This is not sufficient.
so a special appropriation is
made by the Legislature There
are also special appropriations
for High Schools, for each Of
the four Normal Schools, and
for the College of William and
Mary, Virginia Military Insti
tute, Virginia Polytechnic In
stitute, and the University of
Virginia Each must compete
with the others for favor. caus
ing at times unpleasant rivalry
and consuming much time of
the General Assembly.
"rhe plan proposed" said
Mr.. Maphis, 'in no wise in
creases taxes but provides that
a single tax of a definite mum.
Der of mills shall be levied
which shall take the place of all
the present appropriations.
The members of tho Virginia
Education Commission, all of
whom favor the proposed Mill
Tax are: DR.. Edwin A. Alder
man, DR.. w. w. Smith, State
Superintendent Jos d. Eggles
ton, DR. Chas. NJ. Hazen, Hon.
Richard Il. Byrd, and Hon. E.
h. Holland. This commission
was created by the Legislature
in 1908 for the purpose of devils
ing "A stable and systematic
method for the maintenance
and expansion of the educa-
tional system of the State.

gotiations today had reached such a
stage that the likelihood of their beis
severed was not seriously considered
Unlike the recent armistice, the next
proclamation ending hostilities would
not be confined to small zone, but
will be nationwide in it's scope.
In the event of peace, Madero and
President Diaz will agree upon the
four governors and the three cabinet
allowed to name. This probably will
be among the last official acts Of Presi-
dent DiaZ.
Americans in the mining districts
of Chihuahua who have remained dur.
ing the revolution are jubilant over
the outlook for peace. Some of the
mones owned by Americans have al
ready been re-opened.
Through the lack of means for d.
rect communication, the insurrectos
operating in the interior of the state
of Sonora are ignorant of the pro
gress of the peace plans and the revo.
luton is still in full swing there. Many
of the federals have withdrawn, leav.
ing the state almost wholly in the
hands of the rebels.
