WHITE FOR SEGREGATION
?D e b a t c Before Committee.
Speaker Explains Merits
of Proposition.
Before tlie House Committee on fi?
nance yesterday morning;, Speaker
Byrd argued his new pioposlticu tor
a tiifite Tux Commission. He ex?
plained the provisions already out?
lined In Ihn press.
One now pouu brought out was that
the Speaker does not think tho State
Corporation Commission assesses rail
road property ut n sufficiently high
ilgiire. When the railroads were ro
Sisting the reduction of their pas?
senger rates, he said, they clnluicd
that their lines were worth laO.tuO .
a mile, und when appearing od the :
fuh.icct uf being assessed) they said,
they were worth oniy $10,000. While
the railroads claim that their franchise
tax should be considered In mitigation,
the Speaker said he did not ok reo to j
this proposition, as It Is a license tax j
|tor dolnc, business, and should be paid
us merchants and lawyers and physi?
cians pay such tuxes.
wnnf Segregation.
Hugh A. White did not beliefs tho
Isommisslon as proposed would reach
lire Intangible personal property of the
(State. lie Insisted Hut segregation
wts the feasible plan, and that the']
counties which would bo hurt the
.wont by It are those where the as- [
?essments are now misersbly low.
Furtbei. he said, the .State does not
'*j?rn a Tax Commission to equalize,
assessments, beeuuse there Is nothing
to equalise save live stock and house
held furniture until Hilt, when the
new realty assessment Is made. lie
thought the Byrd plan an Invitation
l'to corporuHons to gut Into politics.
Mr. YVh'te said no new facts are
contatne-1 in th? Tax Commission re
purl, and tnnt it does not furnish the
Information on which tu base a calcu?
lation as to tho effects of st'KrtKa
aion. Ho thought the committee should
report some plan by which to secure
[th's Information) probably for the next
'Legislature.
Uyrd's Analysis,
speaker Ityid Inst night Issued the
tfollow'ng authorised Interview on hie
'new tax plan.
?"The amended equalization bill, which
sr*6 considered b> the Finance Com?
mittee, this morning, while not. In my
?opinion, en Ideal Mil, Is perhaps the
largest measure of reform In tax equal?
isation possible nt this session. The
bill utilizes existing machinery and I
officials ns much as possible, so that,
though there are three commissioners,
only one additional salary Is to be
paid.
"The bill provlde? that the Governor
shall appoint one commissioner. The
other two arc the State Mineral As?
sessor and a 3tate accountant, who will
become a part of tho commission. The
oh'.ef features of the bill cro these:
**1, It creates n commission Of three
?numbers?a body of sufficient size to
prevent the centralization of power In
the hands of one man?and hoops this
commission permanently employed In
(the examination of values.
"2 It provides that every- locality

tion can be fixed by assessment, for the
Icommissioners must so t.i every ooun

[commission must .->M annual mve.tlngs

scmbly. beeomrs a law. Bxcept at one point, It 1?
?ine county wide. Its total length belns estimated nl
more than 200 mile*.
One planes ot that part of the sc
< ompanylngr map where the black 'a
bleckest will show the exact forma?
tion of the Sixth Congressional Dis?
trict If tho bill now pending In tho
General Assembly 1b enacted. Con?
gressman Carter Glass, who ran
against Mr. Swanson for the United
States Senate last summer, represents
the Sixth District, and If the reor
rangoment Is made It Is pointed out
by those opposing tho bill that It may
throw the Sixth Into Republican con?
trol. Four years ago Floyd county
was added to the Sixth to save the
Fifth from which Is was taknn. It
Is now proposed to take Tazewell.
Bland and Giles out of the Ninth and
put them In tho Sixth. In an Inter?
view yesterday Senator Feathcreton
was quoted as saying thta this redlfi
trlctlng plan would Imperil Demo?
cratic chances In tho Sixth without
materially Vtrcngthenlng Democratic
chances In tho Ninth. While Sir. Gluas'o
district Is to get tho threo Southwest
counties. It la to lose Halifax, and will
give the Sixth a ahooetrlng territory,
one, county wide, except where Mont?
gomery and Floyd come together, and
rsaohlng over a distance of more than
200 miles from end to end.
Close study of the map shows that
it la almost exaotly in I bo shape of a
revolver. Bedford, Campbell and
Charlotto make the handle, the hum?
mer swings back over Boinoko, Mont?
gomery is the cylinder, Floyd tho trig?
ger, while Giles, Bland and Tazewell
malto tho barrel. Of course. It Isn't
a handsome six-shooter, but somebody
will Immediately suggest that if iho
present bill Is passed the Sixth will
be known as tho Pistol District of Vir?
ginia,
the aggregats assessments by the com?
mission when any county Is paying too
niuoh or too iltrle. Thii will equalize
assessments, whllo protaotlng -every
community !>y giving it a day !n court,
should it desire to contest any ohango
mads by the commission.
"6. It will prevent tho assessment
of exaggerate taxes on real and per?
sonal property In excess of tho amount
now levied, so that all tho Increases
In VBluatlon must go to a roductlon
or tho tax rate.
"6. Tho bill providag that tho val?
uation of the property of publlo ser
vico corporations be equalized with
that of private citizens, and that no
Increase bo mado In tho taxes of In?
dividuals or !n tho nssej-ameiit of their
property without a ilko Increase in tho
valuation or taxes of oorporatlons.
After 1913 the railroads and lllco cor?
porations will bo assessed by a now
board, to consist of the Tax Commis?
sion, except tha Mineral Assessor, tho
Corporation Commission, the Governor
and the Auditor of Publlo Accounts.
"if this bill is passod, It cannot fall
to reduce the taxes of every citizen
who Is now paying moro than his part
of the taxes. It will bring the thlrty
cIk!H counties which ara now sn ex?
pense to the State, to a fair valuation,
and it will equalize assessments
throughout the State. It will open tha
way to segregation, which Is a de?
sirable gool of tax reform. Segrega?
tion, us has been demonstrated, is now
an Impossibility without grave damage
to many localities. It will practically
bankrupt every olty In tho Stato, und
will Involve a modification of every
tax rate In the State, thus creating a
condition of utter financial chaos."

Speaking to his resolution, Mr. Sut?

said, that an admission fee of 25 cents

Mr. Oliver regretted to again resist a

having the matter up.
The Speaker put the motion to takej
the bill up out of Its order, nnd, iiidu-'

it lost. It evidently did not Ht that
