HAVE SMALL TAX COMMISSION.

That the tax system of Virginia is In need
OF revision all agree. but when 1t comes TO the
question OF how our system shall be changed
there Is wide divergence of opinion 1t Is not
to be expected that the general assembly will,
at its present crowded session. do more in this
matter than lay the foundation for that work by
the creation OF commission TO make thorough
invests cation of the most modern and best
systems Of taxation and recommend a plan to
the general assembly either at a special session
to be called next winter or at the regular session
two years hence.
The finance committees of the senate and house
have decided to recommend the appointment OF
twenty members Of the legislature as commit
tee TO consider this tedious and vexed subject
with view to reporting at a special session of
the legislature to be held next January The
business organizations of the State, headed by
the Richmond chamber OF commerce, had some
time before the converting of the general assem-
bly, decided to recommend the appointment of a
commission of five TO make thorough investiga-
ton and report the best system The latter
course seems TO us to be much theSwiser OF the
two. committee Of twenty would prove very
tin wieidy body to grapple with such question
as tax reform. A smaller body could, in our
The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1914-02-21
BETTER GO SLOWLY.

The general assembly should proceed very
cautiously In the matter OF holding employers
responsible in damages for injury to their en-
ployes All men who work in dangerous oc-
equations should be given every possible pro-
lection. Most employers recognize this, and are
ready to comply with this reasonable condition
To require an employer however, to pay dam
ages when employee is injured through no
fault whatever OF the employer, sets dangerous
precedent.
We concur fully in the view taken by Mr.. Brax
ton, of the Newport News Shipbuilding COM
pany, who said that his company would heartily
cooperate in securing the passage of stringent
law. providing for the safeguarding Of working
men. In other words he favors prevention rath-
er than cure. We believe that the employers of
labor, whether manufacturers or merchants,
seek to give their employees every protection. 1t
would impose a great hardship upon them in
addition to this to make them liable in damages
for any injury sustained
We hope the voice OF the manufacturers and
merchants of the State. which has been raised in
such forcible unison against this bill will pre-
vail

REV. GEORGE r. WILLIAMS.

The poor and unfortunate Of Richmond lose
one of their best and most selfsacrifcng friends,
and city mission work one of its most loyal
supporters and leaders, in the death of Rev.
George F. Williams. Without compensation and
with hope Of no other reward than consciousness
of helping the friendless Rev Mr. Williams had
given the greater part of his life for nearly a
quarter of a century to mission work in the
sums and prisons of Richmond With tender
heart and broad sympathy for the erring and
the unfortunate he found his greatest Joy in
carrying to them the gospel, which he lived and
preached. He had been active in all phases Of
mission work and for years had personally con
Quoted regular services at the State penitentiary
and city jail. A good and useful man has pass
ed to his reward.

PLAN FOR THE FUTURE.

There is wisdom in the suggestion made to
the Richmond Society Of Engineers by Messrs
Allen SaviIle and Richard Messer, that Richmond
establish commission to procure the necessary
data and lay OFT definite plans for the future
growth and development OF this city. This is in
line with the practical methods being employed
by aome OF the most progressive cities of
phasized the need for such a commission in an
article printed In The Vtrgintan some months
ago.
Richmond is one of the south's most pro-
gressive as well as most beautiful cities. She is
fortunate in having had honest and efficient of
fcials and has been singularly free from in
competence graft and crookedness. We have
seem however in recent large public improve
ments. notably in the of the Mayo
bridge. the urgent need for come well defined
system for extension and development Many
difficulties, which arise in the matter OF
sary extensions, would be avoided II there were
definite, carefully laid out plan system.
Messrs. Savile and Messer in their paper may
possibly lay too much stress on what they call
the "haphazard" maner In which Richmond has
grown. There can be no doubt, however. that II
some such plan as they suggest is adopted and
capable commission is vested with authority to
acquire the necessary information and data, in.
Guiding maps and surveys and work out a
definite municipal plan, the future growth of
Richmond will be more symmetrical and many
expensive changes may be avoided by first hav-
ing the improvement plan carefully worked out
The maps and statistics presented by these
gentlemen also bear out another interesting fact
on which The Vtrgintan has more than once
commented. That is the density of our popula-
ton Out of twenty-fve cities with from 100, 900
to 100000 population only three have greater
density than Richmond The average area of
these twenty-five cities is twenty square miles,
while that of Richmond is only eleven
We hope the plan suggested by these in
tellgent and we'll informed men will be given
careful consideration. Some OF the suggestions
which they make may not be found practicable
but that our attention should be directed to some
method for planning ahead for Richmonds
growth and development there is no doubt

FOR THE. CHILDREN

The fight is not yet over for more equitable
division Of the moneys TO be appropriated by the
general assembly for education purposes, AS Is
usually the case the representatives OF the board
Ing schools normal schools and colleges put in
estimates and claims for large appropriations and
rs each of these institutions has the local senator
and delegates favorable to its claims, there seems
to be . sort Of an agreement to- divide up the
money 50 that each Institution will get its pro-
portion, and there has often been a combination
of the senators and delegates standing for these
special Interests, and this combination gives
lighting force Of great power in both branches
It is a lamentable fact that large part Of

school work II is unjust TO the taxpayers OF

school-term is all that Is absolutely required by
the school law until we provide a term of at
least eight months for each child in primary and

ton for the common school: may 1t meet with
abundant success.
