Mr.. Hirst said. ''your nearest rep

He said he believes daily traf-
nc should be q factor In deter
mining how highway funds are|
distributed. Fairfax has q daily
average Of IL million miles. he|
said, while the average for ALL
Virginia counties is only 1873 600
miles.
Admiral Shultz said the area
should have increased represen-
|tatioa In the Legislature. There
ARE 100 members OF the House
and Fairfax has i've per cent OIL
THE States total population, hel
said. Therefore the county should
have iive Delegates instead Of
two.
Admiral Shultz favored repeal
OF the personal property tax and
was Joined by Mr.. Hoyt and Mr..
Parker In advocating a sales
tax.
Mr.. Webb said he had opposed
Ia sales tax for many years. How
ever. he added. II sufficient
money Is made available for
mental hospitals, education and
an equitable formula Is worked
out for distributing State funds
to the localities, ''it Is conceiv-
able ! could support q sales tax"
Mr.. Hirst was adamantly OPP
posed to the proposal. The
effect. he said. would be for
populous counties to substitute"
the rural areas by providing d
|disproportionate share Of the

Sales tax proposals" Mr..
First said, Invariably come from
the boards Of supervisors and
school boards who don't want
the responsibility OF imposing |
the levy but want the State toll
do 1t and return the money tol
them"
The Republican candidates
advanced the argument that the |
sales tax would be the only way
|of making "the large number Of
transients" help pay the cost Of
local government. Many in thisI
group do not remain in the |
county long enough to pay taxes
on income or personal property.

Candidates for the Virginia
General Assembly from Fairfax
County and Falls Church last
night offered voters q choice Of
returning experienced Demo-
cratic legislators to Richmond or
electing a Republican slate TO
help establish q two-party sys-
tenn.
About the only major issue
they disagreed on was . sales tax.
They were generally in accord
that the populous nearby area is
not receiving its fair share Of
State revenues. although they
had different ideas about meet
ing the problem.
The candidates spoke at .
meeting sponsored by the League
OF Women Voters In st. Luke's
Church on Fort Hunt road.
The candidates were agreed
that the public school system
should be preserved as opposed
to the idea that 1t should be
abolished TO avoid compliance
with the Supreme Court segrega-
ton decision.
One OF them, Delegate John
Webb, Democrat. said. Il am not
going to support legislation to
circumyent the Supreme Court
decision but would support legis-
lation to implement that decision
In an orderly manner"
He prefixed his remarks. how

much speculation at this time Is
premature, pending q report
from q special commission ap-
pointed by Gov. Stanley to study

crat, said he believed wide lati-

uals shown in the picture, and or
ganzitaions who fought hard with
out much fanfare to help pass
Arizona's first civil rights law, in
a comparatively short time.
In most states where FEPC has
been introduced it has taken a
longer fight to pass it if ever. Our
neighboring state of California, for
instance, has been fighting for
FEPC for 10 years or more and
has not succeeded yet in passing it.
Other than private individuals
and civic organizations, a whole
lot of credit is due our twin dailies,
The Arizona Republic and Phoenix
Gazette, for their loyal support
editorially in helping mould senti
ment in favor Of equal employment
opportunity for all, especially in
government.
Arizona, the baby state, joins the
parade of eleven other states and
"a cities having equal employment
opportunity laws regardless of race
or creed.
Our legislature and our governor
should be highly commended for. a
most worthy job, we'll done.
The gist Of the bill is: It should
be unlawful for any government
agency, or one of its contractors,
to consider national origin as a
condition of employment, or refusal
to employ.
National origin, according to the
BILL includes race, religion, color,
and ancestry"
Penalty for violation of the law
is a maximum $500 fine.
1T may be interesting to note, es-
pecially minority groups in other
states, who are fighting for such
law, that the bill passes the
lower house of 80 members, by a
vote of 70 ayes, S nays, and five
not voting. In the senate of %
members only one nay. This record
will equal if not surpass any in
the country since FEPC became a
national issue.
