The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1915-02-02
THE SENATE

The Senate Yesterday heard speeches
on taxation by Messrs. Harmon. Blanks
and West. From the tone OF the
speeches II appears that nearly every
element In the Senate is ready to do
business on the segregation plan. but
each member has hts own definition OF
segregation. While Senator Harmon
signed the tax commission report. he
stated at the close of his speech that
Richmond can live under either system,
and VIII be willing to accept segrega-
ton under certain conditions
Senator Blanks stated that at the
showdown he would vote for segrega-
ton. The point OF his speech was
that he was unable to see from the
figures prepared and presented 10 the
Legislature. where and to what ex-
tent segregation Will affect the reve-
nues OF the state.
Senator West came out strongly for
segregation, provided the Weaver
Buchanan bill Is amended by the ad-
dition OF an amendment offered several
days ago by Senator Faremen. This
amendment provides that localities
tsnall towns and countless mar levy a
tax OF thirty cents on 1he 500 in
tangible property In addition to the
state tax Of seventy cents on this
property under segregation to the
State. The Senate insisted that this
amendment was necessary to protect
the interests of small towns whose
revenues would be decreased by the
Weaver Buchanan bill.
Days Proceedings.
The Senate opened with prayer by
Rev. J. J. Seherer, The first action
was "A decision to hold night ses-
sion tonight for the passage OF all
bills not related to taxation. A resolu-
ton to this effect was offered by Sem
ator Gravatt and adopted
The calendar was taken up and
several bills advanced to passage.
At 1870 the order of the day was
taken up, his being consi jeration OF
the segregation bill. Senator Har-
mon spoke for the commission plan,
although expressing willingness TO
agree to on amendment providing
that only one paid tax commissioner
and two ex-officio members be sub
stituted for the original commissi on,
He thought that lack of authority for
the central body would defeat any
great amount of equalization He
also thought that segregation was
needed il enough subjects for tax
alton could be devised for both coun-
ties. cities and State. Senator Blanks
spoke at some length in discussion Of
the figures presented by the Auditor
and others. He felt them unrelia BILE,
From an economic as we'll as a politi-
cal standpoint he was wary of segre-
cation. :
Senator Blanks suspended for re-
cess, resiming at O'clock, On re-
Stunning he yielded to Senator Feath-
erston. who desired to correct the
statement Of an afternoon paper that
