The entire time Of the Senate yester-
day was consumed In a Spirited discus
sion Of the West $3.50 tax bill, which
seeks to have the State reduce it's tax
from 65 to SO cents on intangibles and
permit the counties. cities and towns,
contrary to the intent of the segrega-
tion act, to raise their tax on the Same
sort of property to as much as so
cents on the 500. Whatever hopes Of
passing the Senate the bill may have
had are said to have gone glimmer-
ing" before the attacks of Senators
Walker, Goolrick and Buchanan on the
Senate floor yesterday.
OPPOSES ANY INCREASE IN
TAX ON INTANGIBLEs
Senator Goolrick opened the discus
sion by reminding tho Senate that the
primary object of the segregation act
was gradually to decrease the tax on
intangibles, whereas the proposed bill
permitted an increase in the very teeth
of the segregation law, which was In

the funds more than the localities do
Senator Buchanan also took the posi-
ton that tho passage OF the bill de-
stroyed all hope OF ever equalizing tax
alton. He stated that tho State spent
over 100000 last year. and that 1t
could not be contemplated that Yir-
glnia would spend so little during
the present year, summing up the in
creased demands and the deficits, and
arguing that the release OF the Is cents
on intangibles to the localities was
nothing more or less than running ones
arm into the State Treasury and pulling
1t out with 100000 OF money the State
badly needs. and tearing down the
segregation system Of taxation at the
same time.
WALKER CONCLUDES DEBATE
AGAINST THE BILL
Senator Walker concluded The argu-
ment against the bill by reminding the
Senate OF the broad principles upon
which the segregation system was built.
and explaining how it was intended to
operate in the beginning, namely. as a
shifting rate differing according to the
needs OF the counties. but in each
county the same as the rate on real
estate. IL was the intention ultimate
" to release the 10 cents on tangibles
and allow the localities the exclusive
right to tax real and personal proper
~, holding for the State so cents on
intanGibles; but he stated that II was
imnracticable to reduce the tax on
tangiblcs to 80 Co.'s at the INN media @
time. and expressed the hope that not
doing so would prevent the necessity
OF raising taxes on other properties
for the increased demands. The Sem
ator could see nothing in the proposed
bill but warfare against segregation,
although Senator West has been con-
cerned with his own consistency and
argued that the bill was not opposed
to the plan.
Senator Cannon, in defense Of the
bill. stated that 1t was only cues
ton OF fairness. and that 1t had been
demonstrated that the localities had
been injured by the segregation plan,
and that they were now only asking
Tor the return OF half OF what was
pledged TO them. He said the argu-
mcnt OF those against the bill amounted
10 their saying the State had SO much
money that II was desirable TO keep
and that the State was attempting to
keep it at the expense of justice, their
pledges and fairness.

who can, should hold these stamps
The original purchase of stamps had

a tendency to injure the government
