GIL Licensees
Pay State Tax
Totaling S41,886

Gross receipts of individual
business firms and professional
persons for 1855 may be a ques-
ton mark. bpt in the mass they
establihed the year at record or
near-record proportions for dollar
volume.
That fact becomes obvious af-
ter study of the summary Of
1856 business and professional Ii
censes just issued by Commission
er of Revenue v. C. Womack.
There were Gil licenses issued and
total tax of $4l.886,36. which
includes the seventy--five cent fee
required with each lice..Se.
Those figures compare with 6l8
licenses issued the year previous
and total tax then of $40. 223.38.
with the tax rate remaining the
same and seven fewer licenses.
This year. the obvious answer is
greater gross revenue for 1855.
since the license rate is assessed
against gross receipts.
Retails Sales up
Within the broad grouping Of
business and professions. the &C
cepted barometer of business
health-retail sales between 1854
and 1855 showed an increase in
volume. In 1855 Womack issued
224 retail merchant licenses with a
tax of $29 1872 81. This year he is
sued the same number of licenses.
but the tax jumped to S30,827 so.

Calculating the tax varies for
different categories OF business
Merchants pay on gross receipts:
most professional men pay a flat
fee movies pay on the basis of the
number of seats and wholesale
merchants on purchases, etc.
Money Paid State
Handling the state tax is a job
done entirely by county officers:
the commissioner assessing the
tax. the treasurer collecting 1t and
forwarding it to Richmond.
Similar license tax is assessed by
the municipality against those
with business within the town. The
towns revenue for this source for
licenses to do business in the
year ahead was 5.39497.
Converting the total retail mcr-
chants tax to sales reveals 1865
business here was something over
$l4,000,00O 1t adds up to a tidy
year of business:

The Virginia limited COnStitu'
tional Convention this week die
what it was convened to do. among
Section 14l unanimously ane
added an extra touch. commenda.
ton of Governor Stanley and the
Legislature for invoking interposi.
ton 1853.
The 40-member convention made
the constitutional change imme.
diately effective through its power
to proclaim" the Constitution
changed. That makes possible the
lawful expenditure of state fund.
for education in nonsectarian
private schools.
The amended Section 141 makes
possible later enactment of that
part of the Gray Commission plar
which calls for private tuition
grants as means of avertine
compulsory school integration
Such grants legally may be pro-
vided now to parents of children
in areas where public schools are
closed or forcibly integrated. In
addition. scholarship grants for
college and professional school
education which had been declar-
ed unconstitutional in Virginia
will be resumed.
Amended Wording
The Virginia CONSTITUTIONS Sec
ton al now includes the provi-
sion that: The General Assembly
may, and the governing bodies OF
the several counties, cities and
towns may. subject to such limita-
tons as may be imposed by the
General Assembly. appropriate
funds for, educational purposes
which may be expended in furth-
erance of elementary. secondary
collegiate or graduate education of
Virginia students in. public and
non-sectarian private schools and
Institutions of learning, in addi-
ton to those owned or exclusively
controlled by the state or any
such county. city or town.
While the Constition now
contains fundamental legal auth

of legislation to put them in mo-
ton remains for the General AS

vide the legislation singly Or as
part OF the Gray Commission rec

Word on Interposition
The resolution endorsing the
doctrine of interpostion. proposed
by Delegate j: Segar Gravatt. of
Blackstone. won final committee
approval after some changing
then was approved 1873 by vote
Of the full convention.
The opposition came from
sources believing the convention s
only task was that of amending
Section 14l. Delegates James S.
Easley and E. Floyd Yates voted
for the resolution.
1t contends that a policy which
forces the association of one race
with another against the will of
either lis destructive of mutual
good will and breeds resent
ment and animosities. 1t also as
serts: THAT the decree of the
Supreme Court compelling the
mixing of the races in the public
schools Of Virginia is an unlawful
usurpation of a right which has
never been lawfully surrendered
by this Commonwealth to the Fed
eral Government"
During its session. the conven-
ton killed in committee. a proposal
that tuition grants be given a To-
cal option basis: that is that ex-
penditure of state funds for such
purposes could not be made with
out independent approval of the
governing body of the locality.
