Too Much Money Poured Into
Higher Institutions, De-
CIares Robert Norris
BY JOHN E. TAYLOR
Times Staff Correspondent

RICHMOND, Feb. 20.-What Is
described as a move to test the
strength of Sidney B. Hall, State
superintendent of public instruc-
ton, has been instituted in the
senate by Senator Robert o.
Norris, jr., Lancaster, who intro
duced a joint resolution which
require the State board Of educa.
ton to reduce the number Of
school districts and generally cut
down school expenses before any
new taxes are levied for school
aid.
The resolution passed the senate
unanimously and was sent lmme-
diately to the house. That BODY
quickly referred it to the COM
mittee on schools and colleges. 1t
Is expected to be reported out and
acted upon before the end OF the
wee...
Measure Wins Support
Considerable sympathy was
manifested in the house for the
resolution, following the declara-
ton by Delegate George w. Her
ring, Prince William, that too
much money is being poured into
institutions of higher learning
from which the taxpayers are not
receiving full value.
Mr.. Hall and his school forces
have led the fight for larger and
larger appropriations and they
have been fought in both houses
to some extent. Former Cover
nor John Garland Pollard refused
to yield to their demands and
one of his last official acts was
to send to the General Assem-
bly, a budget calling for approx
imately $2,OO0,000 less for schools
than asked. Governor George G..
Peery has increased the budget
demands by about $1,000,000.
While fighting Mr.. Halls pro-
gram as it now is, many mem
bers of the General Assembly
made it plain they want to
guarantee decent salaries to
teachers and an elght-montn
school term, but they believe
these things can be accomplished
by pruning from the budget OF
some of the institutions Of higher
learning rather than by the i'm
position Of new taxes.
Water Merger Proposed
Delegates Robert F. MacMur-
ran and Robert w. Moffat,
Portsmouth, introduced bill
which would permit two or more
cities, counties and towns to join
together to acquire or establish
water works.
Little by little the Senate
moved the liquor control bill

jected or passed by" for conSid-

MOTOR GAS TAX
GROWS BIGGER
Average 1888 Gasoline Taxes
Were In Effect Sales
Taxes of 1880
NO APPARENT REASON

Taxes upon motor fuel in 1888
cost the American public more
than S7OO,O00,OOO, the largest gas
oline tax bill ever paid! State
gasoline taxes alone cost S518, 1885,
712, or nearly S6,0OO,0O0 more than
in 1882. Federal gasoline taxes
cost an additional S181 ,125, ,988, or
nearly three times as much as in
1882. County and city gasoline
taxes cost at least S7,000,000
more, estimates indicate. This
sum, added to the S699, ,321, 700 cost
of federal and state levies, lifted
the total gasoline tax bill above
S70O,O00.OOO. Despite the increase
in the cost of these taxes, studies
of the American Petroleum Indus
tries Committee reveal, the amount
of revenue spent upon state high
line taxes were levied, was nearly
S25, 100000 less than in 1882. The
amount spent upon city streets was
nearly So, 100000 less than in 1882.
The amount used for purposes 9TH
er than highways was nearly S.
100000 more than in 1882. State
collections increased S5,14S,473,
with only one increase in tax rates
as the result of Strengthening tax
laws and providing more complete
collection and more rigid enforce
ment The effect of better laws
and enforcement is seen as all the
more striking in view of the fact
that consumption of taxed gasoline
declined 25,852,O26 gallons. A list
of the tax collections for 1888 by
states shows Delaware paid ST.
127 $50. The ultimate relief of
public treasures lies in recovery,
not in heavy taxation, and nothing
would add more to the recovery
movement than TO cut in half the
unreasonable levies upon gasoline
State and Federal taxes have in
creased the cost of gasoline to the
consumer more than four times as
much as have price advances under
the NRA, the Federal Trade Com
mission has informed the United
States Senate. One-tenth of the
entire population of the United
States has no rail service or is
without freight station, records
of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission show. There are at pres
ent $4,000 communities that are
utterly dependent on motor trucks
and buses for communication with
the rest of the country.
