Eichmond's Duty to Economize

n Ne may take with the same grain OF sal
~ with which the is received in
circles political the announcement that the
Administrative Board has determined on a
pcilc! or rigid economy. and yet feel graft
fled that an appreciation of this necessity has
become less OF n rarity in the City Hall
Richmond's current expenditures for 1914
exceeded current income by something more
than S40O,OO0-by just how much more
waits to be accurately determined. The city
Will start the new fiscal year carrying that
deficit The budget as drawn by the
FINANCE Committee and adopted by the Com
mon Council. appropriates the whole Of the
city's expected revenue. and yet makes the
narrowest possible provision. according to
department heads, for CARRYING on the city.s
business.
Under these circumstances The Times
Dispatch repeats what it said the other dav-
that II IS time for Richmond to stop and
take stock. Obviously. the piling up of a
deficit is not process that can be continued
lndenntely The apprehensions. il excites
are relieved. but not removed by the fair
prospect Of large additions to the tax basis
as result OF the new assessment In mat
'ers OF business II is necessary sometimes
TO discount the future, but that procedure is
never without an element Of hazard
Inc real remedy for the situation is wise
and sane retronchment. which for its proper
the whole field OF municipal expenditure we
40 not believe that RiChmond's city govern
ment is more wasteful than most city gov
ernmentS. The controlling facts, that affect
us all ana intimately. are that economy in
ms ume OF war, when capital demands IA
high and increasing wage is the duty of an
governments and that Rchmond's financial
statement impresses that duty with special
emphasis our people
we must save. ana To find out where we
can save, without interruption to the city's
safety health ana growth, we must find ont
where and how the money is being spcnt and
what is being obtained for the cxpcnditure
inc people have n right to know about such
matters but the ordinary report OF a city
department is perfectly meaningless to anv
save the expert. The Finance Committee. we
undertake to say, has definite views on these
subjects. 1t would perform a valuable ser
vice If II would give the public the bcnef, or

of government had increased enormously, the
rates were raised on real estate and personal
property and landowners, especially farmers
$ .nered great hardshps.
II WAS TO meet this situation that segrega-
ton was devised. lntangibles and franchises
generally escaped taxation. and real estate
assessments had become grossly unequal. A
remedy was necessary.
The most-up-to-date States are looking
towards segregation as the remedy. and it is
gradually gaining ground throughout the
Union. There are roverses ii is true, but
in general the progress has been pretty
steady The States are more and more tend
than real estate. Larger returns come in
from corporations. once so insutciently taxed.
while intangible property class of wealth
for State taxation is being far more wisely
and more justly handled
The results of segregation have been
happy in the main. Pennsylvania. for in
stance. is in prosperous condition. with an
ever-growing income California, the one
thoroughgoing segregation State, obtained
Sll,00o.000 in 1912 from corporations-mor
than any other State, except New York and
pennsylvania Revenues have kept up even
under complete segregation. California re-
ceivcd SS.3I9,1l4 in State taxes in 1910 the
last year under the old system and So
605.9Sl in 1911 under segregation. County
revenues have increased greatly at the same
time.
There seems little reason to doubt that
segregation, when properly adjusted to con-
ditions, is the best system of taxation yet
devised

Shaving Down the Staff of Life

7 I appears likely that those who lean on the

another contribution to the expense of the
