Virginia's Counties

The maintenance of 100 counties in Virginia along lines
established early in the State history just doesn't make
sense from the standpoint Of the taxpayer
There be justification of preserving these
ties
The merest glance at figures describing the counties is
enough convince any reasonable person that the egs
lature in session at Richmond obligation to
the electorate to remedy the condition which is making
the plight of the taxpayer unbearable.
Why should the same county government set-up
be maintained for an area of fHty-three square
miles as is maintained for county IUith an area
of more than 800 square miles?
There is no rhyme or reason for StrGpping onto
the backs of the feIU thousand taxpayers in one
small county the same governmental Setup that
is maintained in another county by fifty thousand
Taxpayers
Virginia has had commission nibbng at this problem
Of county government expense for several years.
But thus far has got beyond the nibblng stage
It has submitted half hearted recommendations
to the effect that functional consultations be made
that functions performed by several counties in
given area be conducted jointly by those counties.
If THE FUNCTIONS CAN AND SHOULD BE CON
S0LIDATED WHY SHOULDN'T THE UNITS LIKE
WISE BE UNITED AND SOME OF THEM
ABOLISHED?
The only rensOn-n you can call it a rensOn-is
that the courthouse gangs and the tar-grabbing
politicians IUOuld lose their soft means of living.
But if the legislature doesnt act and act soon to
eve the county taxpayers of the ncumbus which they
are carrying the Legislators apt to find that the
taxpayers have decided to take revenge for their plight
on the legislators themselves.
Just now the legislature is involved in the difficult
and ultimately expensive job Of whipping into shape
social security laws designed to keep pace with the
Federal laws recently enacted
Those laws regardless Of how the problem is worked
out are going to cost Virginia taxpayers plenty of money
THE LEGISLATURE. IF IT REALLY WANTS TO
DO SOMETHING FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ELECT
ITS MEMBERS, WILL TURN TO COUNTY CoNsoLI-
DATION AS MEANS OF BALANCING THIS
NEWLY THREATENED IMPOSITION.

Why do you not consider whence

"YOu carry a god about with

Epictetus did not say these

was speaking as a wise man of the

had met men.

He had lived as slave and as

He had observed also that, no
matter how low a man fell, HE
BELIEVED IN HIMSELF HE

When he was in France in war
time, a lieutenant, he was sent
into No-Man'S Land with a small
detachment.
Enemy fire almost wiped out
the small group and they were
forced to retrace their steps.
On the way back to his own
lines, stumbling, crawling, scared,
Jimmy Noe picked up a comrade
and carried him to safety.
The wounded man became
Noes friend and after the war,
Jimmy learned he was New
York broker. And that broker
took Jimmy with him.
Later that same broker took
Noe to Louisiana to look over oil
and gas concessions and because
of that occasion Louisiana has
