The Sweep Of ColIectivism Over the World

TODAY communism creeping socialism are sweeping
Europe They are beginning in Asia The causes
lie deep in the holocaust of misery from the war; from
power politics. from the impulse for any change from the
bitter years which have passed and from the years of
propaganda Of a Utopia.
of Fascist nations have shifted to commu-
nism; and half dozen nations fbertyfoving are
shifting to socialism. The most recent chapter is the
Socialist victory in Britain. Whatever the particular
of these European systems may be- whether it be
communism, socialism the decoy terms planned econ
omy, they all colectivist.
They all have common base in bureaucratic power
the liberty and economic life of the people
In the extreme form they leave little of free speech,
free press, free assembly or independent justice
The less violent forms claim that government can
dictate operate economic life and still personal
liberty.
BUT HISTORY SHOWS OVER AND OVER AGAIN
THAT BUREAUCRATS, TO STAY In POWER, AND
TO ENFORCE THEIR IDEAS MUST IN THE END
DOMINATE THE MAKING OF LAWS THE PRESS,
THE COURTS AND THE POLICE.

Arlington Board Calls
Reassessment Farley

Three urgent questions relative to
the 1916 real estate reassessment
will be decided at a joint meeting
Thursday of the Arlington County
Board, Circuit Court Judge Walter
T. Mccarthy and members of the
County Reassessment Committee.
F. Freeland Chew, committee
chairman and chairman of the
County Board, said the meeting will
determine if trained appraisers, as
distinguished from assessors, are to
be employed. He said the County
Boards responsibility in making the
assessment and the appointment of
assessors by Judge Mccarthy will be
discussed.
Mr.. Chew said there is a wide
spread misunderstanding in the
county concerning the fact that next
years reassessment is required by
law and that the committees sole
responsibility and interest is to pro-
vide the machinery by which it can
be done.
DR.. John H. Russell of the States
Department of Taxation, Research
Division, in a conference with local
officials, recommended trained as
SCISSOR to head the program assisted
by unframed helpers, Mr.. Chew said.
The ratio of assessment to true value
Is to be determined by the County
Board, he added.
Other members of the committee
are County Manager Frank C. Han
rahan, Commissioner of Revenue
Harry K. Green and Common
wealth's Attorney Lawrence w.
Douglas.

that the present narrow bridge is a
hazard to vehicular and pedestrian
traffic. The board estimates that

Rate for Hackers

The Arlington County Board yes

Of the County Public Utilities Com
mission that taxicabs operate on a
meter system in the county and that
the rate be set at 30 cents per mile.

renee w. Douglas was instructed to
prepare an ordinance for presenta-
ton to the board. The meters, it,
was said, are to be installed within
six months of the effective date of
the ordinance.
Adoption of the meter system was
favored over the zone system because
of the many dead-end county
streets, it was said. Because of this
factor. it was pointed out, zones
within zones would have made the
system unwieldly.
PUG members have said that if
the meter system was followed,

fares would have to estimate charges

broad program of changes in the
sale and handling of alcoholic bev-
erages in Virginia, including abo-
lition of the State Alcoholic Bever-
age Control Board and appointment
in it's place of a State commission
to administer the States liquor mo-
nopoly, is recommended in a report
released today by Paul Crockett of
York County, chairman of the House
of Delegates ABC Study Commits
SION
Fourteen changes in the present
ABC setup were recommended by
the flve-man legislative commission.
These included, beside the aboli-
ton of what the commission termed
the three-man triumvirate," the
termination of the use of ration
books as speedily as possible; the
provision of State financed facili-
ties for the cure and rehabilitation
of chronic alcoholics; more empha-
sis on the promotion of temperance
and less on profits from ABC sales;
the sale of distilled spirits in half
pint containers; cracking down on
clubs which are ostensibly incor-
porated for the enjoyment of the
members, but which all too fire.
quently are devices to evade the
purpose and intent of the alcoholic
beverage control law; stressing en-
forcement phases of the ABC law
with a view to terminating, or
curbing, the disorder which has
become a feature attendant upon
the operation of many retail beer
and wine stores" and the locating
on side streets of ABC stores and
the curbing of ABC Board activi-
ties in real estate matters
Report Mostly Unanimous.
The commission was unanimous
on all but two of the IA recon-
mendations, with two members fill
ing minority dissents to proposals
that retail beer license fees be in
creased and that off-premise sale
of wines be handled entirely by
ABC stores.
The commission criticized what it
termed "the practice of the board
in requiring licensees who have
been cited for various attractions of
the ABC Law. but whose licenses
have not been revoked. to pay GER
tain sum CASUALLY 500 or have their
licenses suspended for a fixed
period
/ Other recommendations suggested
would allow circuit court clerks TIC
issue ABC ration books, with the
ABC Board to pay the clerks fee
for this service; make the boards
personnel policy sless rigid" and
prohibit the penalizing of a whole
