AUDITORS PLAN FOR
TAX SEGREGATION,

Under the present plan of taxa
ton some counties are compelled to
pay more of the expenses of the
state government than others in pl o.
portion to the value of property.
To secure an equitable system of az
sessment all over the state would
require some system which would
be very costly and which would
probably then be a failure. Auditor
Moore proposes that the counties
and cities not be allowed to tax pul :
lie service corporations. such as rail-
roads, telegraph and telephone CON-
panies, &c., and not to receive from
the state the one-third of the capt.
tation taxes collected in year,
These revenues would 60 to the
state.
The counties could add to theil
county levy the IS cents which now
goes to the state. By this plan each
county would be providing its own
rate of taxation. If the assessment
should be too low, the county would
lose; but no county would be as
sessed for the benefit of other coun-
ties whose assessment is too low.
Under this arrangement, by the
calculation made by the Auditor,
Shenandoah would gain $l4.o3l.32 ;
Rockingham. $45,25S.SS and War
rem would lose 81, 44l.54.
Many counties especially in the
Southwest would lose heavily as as
sessments are generally low, in that
section.
1t is to be hoped that the Legis-
lature will adopt the new system,
and require every county to pay
only its just share of taxation.

hot After Egg Trust.

Washington, Nov. 23.-Alleg-
ing that there is an egg trust
and that carloads of eggs are
smashed to raise prices, Repre-
Kenneth D. Mcclellan, /
of Tennessee, will seek to bring
about an Investigation by Con-
gress of the cold storage inter-
ests of the country immediately
after the regular session OF Con-
gress convenes next week.
Mr.. Mcclellan declared today
that he has information which
convinces him beyond doubt that
manipulation of markets by the
cold storage interests has caused
the high prices being charged
for food products.
A part of the information
which Mr.. Mcclellan has assem-
bled is now in possession OF the
Department of Justice, which
has also decided to investigate
the storage situation through
district attorneys and special
agents. Mr.. Mcclellan alleges
he has been informed that one
concern actually destroyed eggs
by the carload after its ware
houses had become taxed to then
capacity rather than allow the
eggs to 20 on sale at retail and
thereby curtail the plan of corn
ering" the market.

MENACE OF THE CHESTNUT
BLIGHT.

BLIGHT.
Twelve or fifteen years ago, ali
cry destructive chestnut tree q
isease was introduced into this s
ountry on stock imported from
he Orient. By 1904 this disease I
lad become established ON the
lative chestnut trees in the Vi
Unity of New York City. The
disease has spread rapidly
through the native chestnut and
is now widely distributed over
the states north of the Potomac
river. Unless something unfore-
seen occurs, there is no hope for
the chestnut growth OF these
states.
At the last session of the Vir
Iginia Legislature small appro-
priation was made for the inves-
tigation of this disease. The
work was placed under the d.
rection of the Commissioner OF
Agriculture at Richmond and the
State Pathologist at Blacksburg.
The State authorities in close CO.
operation with the Office of For
est Pathologist of the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture are
| fighting this disease.
In Virginia the disease has
been found in sixteen counties,
the most southerly infection be-
ling in Bedford. In eleven of
these counties, the infections
have been cut out and the diseas-
ed parts burned. By destroying
| the advance infections, the
southward progress of this dis
ease is being greatly delayed
To stop or at least to greatly de-
lay this disease is the object Of
the work in Virginia.
The real destruction caused by
this disease in the State, up tC
the present time. is very insig'
nificant. The blight is just Sc
touring a foothold. The EXTERN.
Iiuation of the chestnut in the
near future is what we fear for
Virginia. This determination is
rapldly taking place in the states
to the north.
The economic loss to the State,
which would result from the de.
struction of the chestnut, would
be hard to estimate. Through
the mountainous sections Of the
State the chestnut is the most
a bundant tree. This is especial.
ly true in the second growth
where because of its remarka BILE
sprouting ability this tree has
come back much stronger than
any other. There are large
areas where the chestnut makes
up 20 per cent. and more OF the
forest growth. If all this chest.
nut is wiped out, it will be a
very long time before any other
tree can become established on
these lands. This will mean a
great loss in forest production.
The annual value of the chest
nut products in Virginia, at the
present time, is conservatively
estimated at 81, 5OO,OOO.OO. Every
year the price of forest products
steadily advances, and it is time
that Virginia should pay some
attention to the conservation and
management of her forest re-
sources.
Since it is impossible to tell
what will be the future of the
chestnut, owners of woodland
are advised to discriminate
against this tree. Especially are
people warned against depending
upon chestnut for ornamental
purposes.
A bulletin on this disease will
be sent on request.
