More For A. Dollar

built and maintained it's road system.
Gradually this function has been trans
ferred to the State, with the local bodies
retaining only a very small voice in
road matters, and no responsibility for
construction or maintenance. Likewise,
the mammouth public education system,
from elementary to higher education,
is largely under control of state agen-
cies. Public welfare is controlled essenti-
ally by state agencies, even though adj
ministered at the local level.
We do not infer that all Of this con-
centration of power at the state level
is bad Certainly the services affecting
the state citiZenry-at-large must be CO.
ordinated if not administered on a
statewide basis. But there again, de-
mands of the people prompt extrava-
gencies, and the dollar loses some of
its value. Bureaucracy comes into play
to some extent as the direct voice Of
the taxpayer is weakened.
Financially, Virginia is the nations
most favored state. A balanced budget
has been maintained, and generally a
surplus. The state owes no bonds which
are not offset by assets. On the other
hand, most municipalities are heavily
in debt, especially those cities in the
development of an urban, industrial
economy. Income has not kept up with
demands. This situation requires serious
and expert study.
AS government gets further away
from the taxpayer, the dollar not only
depreciates materially in value, but ex-
t~ravagencies increase. Thus the federal
dollar buys less. The far-flung activi-
ties Of the federal government, inter-
national complications and the public
psychology of demanding more and
more federal aid and services unbalance
budgets Deficit spending, has brought
to this nation its highest debt, and the
highest taxes in history. Military de-
lenses must be kept strong, we can
agree. but economies in the myriad of
domestic services should be made now
Tor many reasons, one being to impress
upon the people the seriousness of our
present financial position. The federal
dollar buys less than any other tax dol.

What of international attitudes

There is no such thing as

News Report
-. From
Washington

WASHINGTON, D. c. : Presi-
dent John F. Kennedy is now
credited with having delivered a
State of the Union masterpiece,
as far as political appeal is CON
cerned. earlier this month.
The President painted the pic
ture Of the country in rosy terms
and he claimed great progress in
the first year of his administra-
ton. Moreover, he held out the
hope ion better things to many
various groups and this was the
most politically potent part Of
the speech.
There were a few bitter. pills
for the voters to swallow. The
President wanted the authority to
reduce taxes. he planned a bal
! anced budget for next year, he
would further strengthen our de-
lenses. he would aid the elderly,
the schools, the farmer, the con-
Sumer and the laborer.
OF course, much Of the Presi-
dents program will not be en-
acted but it is the battleline
around which the legislative
sklrmishes will be carried on this
year. And it will figure i'm
portantly in the 1862 congression-
al elections.
If the popularity polls are any
test. the Presidents popularity
among the people is high and it
is high because of his speeches,
like the recent State Of the Union
massage, he convinceS many: vot-
RS that he is sincere and that
he is pushing his program be-
cause he thinks it will be the
best thing for America.
KhruShchev's Pause
Premier Nikita K%hrushchev
has once again toned down his
demands and buster on Berlin,
and even in the East German
press there is little mention now
OF the immediate signing of a
peace treaty by Russia and East
Germany. This is not the first
time Khrushchev'S bluff has been
called and that he has stopped
short of actual fighting.
In Washington the new atmos-
phere is sometimes called the
pause, and while there is little
hope that success can be gaind
III negotiations. the maneuvering
for negotiations continues. There
are indications the Russians
would prefer to leave the whole
question open and West Der
lin tense Aratbcr than settle the
question on anything less than
their own terms.
President Kennedy is now the
first Roman Catholic President
with both Roman Catholic SEN
ate and House leaders. Senator
Mike Mansfield. the Majority
Leader. and Representative John
Mccormack. the Speaker. are
the other two in a history-making
Washington threesome.
It seems ironical to some for.
elgners that in a nation which is
predominantly Protestant, all
three men in the top spots IN the
executive and legislative branch
e5 are Roman Catholics. n Eur
cpe, where opinions are much
more rigid on such things. this
would be almost impossible.
Yet, other than noting the uni
que situation. Protestants in the
United States have hardly raised
an eyebrow. The vast majority
obviously feel the men involved
will uphold the Constitution and
do their duty, as their foremost
consideration. avoiding the con-
trovcrsial moves of SO many

WHERE do you get most for "a dollar?
The answer is: Where there are few
er dollars.
This is certainly true in government
today. Public governing boards, such as
the town councils, the boards of super
vlsors, where management is reasonably
good, get more for the-tax dollar than
any other field. These boards are amen
able to the people - the taxpayers. Of
ficlals are elected periodically by d.
rect vote of the people and they pay
rapt attention to the wills and desires
OF their constituents. 1t is a fact also
that the people meet the officials face
to-face daily and mince no words in
critisism, both constructive and de-
structive.
The state legislatures are a bit furth-
er removed from the direct influence
of the people, and here generally the
dollar is cheapened and loses some Of
its value. Public problems become more
complex and delegates are inclined to
be more liberal in spending and of
course more liberal in taxing. The only
funds available to the governments are
gained through taxes paid by the citi-
Zens, a fact to be borne in mind when
ever the urg comes to run to the leg
islatures for this or that program which
appears worthy.
In the Virginia system of taxation,
the state government is restricted to
intanglbles (stocks, bonds, moneys, etc.
as tax sources. The local governments
are restricted to real and personal pro-
perties (real estate. privilege licenses,
etc.).
In recent years the states tax re-
sources have been more lucretive thar
local resources. The study to be made
by the state legislature, as recommends
ed by the NALC and the Governor. will
include the efficacy of this system of
allocated resources, popularity known
as segregation OF taxable resources.
Complexities of modern living have
seen more and more local functions adj
minlstered through the state or by
mutual cooperation. For example, high
ways and roads are now almost totally
the function of the State Department
of Highways. In former days the county
