With two people bitten by dogs in
the village within the past AZ hours,
and no knowing whether or not the
dogs have rabies the shiftless en-
forcement, or rather lack OF enforce
ment of the dog law, becomes OF
acute interest to every person in
town. Net half the dogs in town are
muzzled and good many of those
that are supposed 10 be are not eff
fectively prevented from biting. The
present situation is an outrage on
the public and on those persons who
are keeping their dogs properly muz-
zled. 1t has been plain to everybody
for TWO weeks that something ought
to be done, but folks dislike to make
fuss. The Banner today asked one
CT the leading lawyers of the town
whose duty it is TO enforce the dog
law regulations. He has looked the
matter up and states that it is the

officer all fail complaint should be
made TO the state board OF health.

TO tho Editor of The Times Dispatch:
Sir,--Tlcase allow me through your
columns to call the attention of the
taxpayers TO how their taxes have been
increased and spent under the new
Constitution that cost the taxpayers II
million of dollars. The political com
bination controls through the nfu-
cncc of n majority of the State and
county officers and otticeseckers we'll
organized in every county in the State
to elect such men TO the Legislature.
The political leaders of the cOmbina-
ton can control appropriations. and
have been made to tax the people, |
suppose, to meet the demands OF their
political servants and ofiiceseekers.
The last taxes collected under the
old Constitution in 1904 were only
s4.4OO,0 600 paid into the State Treasury
Under the new Constitution lin 1905
the taxpayers paid into the Treasury
sG.000.o00 in 1912 paid into the Treas
ury S7,400,000. an increase of the peo-
pies taxes from 1905 TO 1912. about
100000 under the new Constitution
controlled by the political combination.
that is we'll organized in each county
in the State. I will show the taxpayers
how some of their million of dollars
has been spent: SsS6.l2l.90 charged to
the institutions and charitable sup.
port; S375.257.47 charged to State Of

EVER EVAsIVE.

The cver-esteen,ed and ever e"asive
Roanoke Times is much hurt because
we failed to see in its issue OF July 80
/ its wcek-kneed promise TO strike Il
blow in the fight for tax reform. But
the Times is not nearly as much
greved as we are. for had we seen
the article which the Times now con
1siderately reprints in part. we should
have enjoyed further discussion OF a
theme which the Times handles gin
serly at best.
However. we are willing to let that
matter rest for the time being and TO
contine ourselves to the question which
the Times recently preached The
ilmes reviews our views as to the limi :
tation of campaign expenses and insists
that we are talking nonsense Can
we thunders that good knight. under
'he Constitution OF the United States.
81 Of this State, forbid man from
writing to his friends or from buying
space in newspapers because another
man. after the same office, is unable
TO do these things?'
TO which we answer. this is pre-
oscly what The Byrd primary law does.
though not as we'll nor as thoroughly
rs it should This law specifically pro-
vides that when one man has spent n
stipulated sum-15 cents for each voter
OF his party in the last primary-an-
other man cannot spend cent more
lin writing to his friends or buying
space" This may be contrary to the
Constitution (the Times always pulls
the Constitution when in Il tight fix.
but ii is the statute law Of Virginia to-
day.
But" says the Times, when there
is clear-cut issue of serious import
ance to the honor or the welfare of the
State or a candidate OF conspicuous
ability, character and claims. money
will have little or no weight" Is 1t
possible? Has the Times already for
gotten n candidate for Congress in the
Ninth District who possessed "conspicu-
Gus ability. character and claims" and
was, nevertheless, dcfeated-by money.
we have always been given to under

us an example OF a good man defeated
by money, there is abundance of them

mer and the less-unfortunate Stephen
son seem to be men whom money raised
t. Office. despite the ability" etc, of
their opponents.
But these are matters by the way,
and do not concern the essential Ques
ton. Holding that our present law
keeps from the lists the candidate of
moderate means, we have argued for a
reduction in the LAWFUL limit of cam
paign expenditure, and have suggested
that the limit should be made 10 cents
for each voter. instead of u cents. and
that the limit for candidates for lesser
office he even lower. Upon this Ques-
lion. for some reason. the Times de-
clncs 10 speak. What is the matter,
brother" Is this proposal too specific
TO be interesting?

MIR. KINGS TAN PLAN.

Senator Floyd w. Kings plan OF
tax reform, as pretcnted to the public
yesterday, is genuine contribution to
a very live question and deserves care
full consideration and detailed study.
AS the ut,erance Of o~e who showed
ability in the General Assembly of
1910, when the question OF tax reform
was discussed at length. this pro-
posal is entitled to respectful consid-

Mr. Kings plan, in brief is partial
separation and apportionmcnt-by -rev-
enue. In other words. he proposes that
the State derive part OF its revenue
from sources not taxed by the local.
ties and that tho deficit in the States
revenue be made up by contributions
from the various localities of tho
state. each county and city paying ac-
cording to the amount IL receives in
local taxes
Revolutionary as this plan may seem
on first sight, il is not II new one in
America, and has been given especial
attention in Oregon. Generally con-
sidcred one OF the best means of meet
Ing the inelasticity OF separation, it
is, however. not so favorably regarded
as is the kindred plan of apportion-
ment by cxpenditure.
The difference between the two Is
apparent Tax experts like Foote.
Purdy and Corbin, studying the system
OF separation and the proposal TO make
this system elastic by levying a tax
on the revenue of the localities. soon
saw difficulty in so doing They
may frequently include the proceeds
Of bonds or other extra ordinary re-
ceipts upon which the State should
not impose Il tax. Consequently. at a
meeting OF the New York Commerce
Convention in 1929, Allen II. Footc pro-

not on the receipts, but ON the cxpendi-
