college will be the declaration. Con
seQuently these hostile delegates, under
| the plans now being formulated. will
] make a desperate effort to force an
issue between the University and the
proposed Coordinate College for Wo-
men.
There can be but one outcome-the
death OF the woman's college bill, be-
cause the university cannot lose $780,
600 or even $4,000 a year.
When there was talk of placing a
university for women at Lynchburg. no
one thought of stripping $4,000 an
nually from the University of Virginia
When plans were advanced provid-
ing for the establishment of the pro-
posed woman's college in other parts
Of the State-except in Charlottesville
no one declared that $4,000 an
nually should be taken from the Uni
versity Of Virginia.
But now that the plan is to place
a woman's college near the University
OF Virginia; now that the plan is to
make Charlottesville an educational
center for both the young men and
young women of the State; now that
the plan is to place Virginia on a
more equal footing with other States.
the hostile element in the House would
prevent it-prevent everything-by
threatening to reduce the University
or Virginia appropriation when 1t
knows that the university cannot pos
sibly maintain it's present high stan
dard II its appropriation be attacked.

may be far from perfect. It at least
affords working basis upon which
a general reform campaign may be In

AS against equalization for the gen.

The State, he provides. will receive

stock taxes, are to be worked out later.
Details, such as affecting rolling
taxes, are to be worked out later.
If it be found necessary a certain
allotment of railway taxes will be al
lowed counties and cities.
The State will receive a net income,
Mr.. White declares. of about $780,
600 more than it now receives.
AS opposed to Capitalization. Mr..
White would permit counties ana
cities to make their own assessments
and collect their own taxes.
Under the bill each city and county
will be required to pay its own GRIM
inal expenses. this being considered
one Of the most needed reforms I'm the
State.
The bill is similar in many respects
to the Kemper bill, which Is now be-
