VOTK FOR Till: BONDS.
Senator l.taalw-r m -.]??. ;i at Spot
sylvaolaC H laet Monday ?un un
anawerable and convinced even it.e
?kepti.-a that Spot*\lvaiila county
cannot aflord to vote down the bond
laeue at the election on May LSUa.
lie initde It clear that Berkeley and
hi ?inga ton diatrl.-ta hare nothing
to luae and everything; to gain by
voting for the issue: that Courtland
and Chancellor by voting favorably
ran gat forty-three, mile, of perma?
nent roa.lt, without increasli . ?
that the present road fund of each
diatrVt will take care of both intereat
and atnklng fund un.l ?till leave a
balance over for maintenance ol the
rotada Improved and ualruproved
that It i? far better to . apen'1.-> th?
roa.1 fund by Issuing DOaatla and
aarurlng permanent roads than to
waa te that road fund year
after year, without obtaining any
beneficial results, that it la folly for
the farmer? to continue year After
year to pay ttie mud tax,which Gov.
Swaneon a abort time since s.iM waa
the heaviest tax they have to Dear,
and finally that good roadii In Spot
eylvanta will tie a splendid advertise?
ment for the county and double ex?
isting bond value?. The question ot
progrese will be put-.?uarely up to
the peop!? of the county on May 1 B.
We urge them after a careful study
of the ? ineatiun and with a Arm be?
lief in the wisdom of the advice to
vote for progr?s on election day.
Don't let it go forth to the State and
country that a county, such as Spot,
aylvanla is, free of debt and rich In
raaources has cast her lot with those
who prefer to lap behind the pro
ceaalon. Let every voter give this
matter careful study and cast his
ballot with an eye Maffia to the pros?
perity ol bis county.
yl'KSTIONS FOKSI'oTSYI.VANIA
TAXPAY!
Wouldn't it be better for >,
vaula taxpayere to secure good
roads now while they are living and
can travel over them \<y issuing
bonds, using the road tax and the
State aid money to pay the interest
on the bond? at 4'T per cent, and to
create a ainkiug fund at 1 ', per cent.
or ?? per . uni. to pay off the bonde
gradually, than to use the road fand
??eh year, as they have been doing
for year? and years, to repair read?
which immediately get out of repair
again and mpiir?- the same amount
apent on then? the following year?
In other words, do you want, voter?
of Courtland district, your road
fund of approximately 93,000, In?
cluding the State aid money, thrown
in the mud holes, or do you want It
ueed to pay the interest and sinking
fund on money spent for permanent
roads and to keep them In neceaaary
repair'.' The same applies to Chan?
cellor.
There la no doubt about the fact
that our tax laws, or th.- manner of
their execution, should lie changed.
There la really more need for a change
In their execution than in the laws
themselves The assessment of per
eona) property in Virginia Is notori
oualy erroneous and defective, and
Instead of being able to look for im?
provement In this vital matter, the
situation in apt to grow worse, la
der the whip and spur of popular
clamor the last I?egi?lature made
commissioners of revenue elective by
?he people, in the place of being aj>
polnted by the Circuit judge.
This plaies the commissioner of
revenue again In the political whir!
where he Is dependent upon b!a pop?
ularity for re-election. It Is easy to
aee that matters will go from bad to
worse until some remedy 1? applied.
We believe that as far as possible the
people ought to directly select their
own officials, but there are some ex?
ception? that ought to t>e made to
the rule. Nothing would tend more
to uniformity of assessment of per?
sonal property thau the removal of
?omtnisaloner? of the revenue from
politic?. We hardly expect the I.eg
lelature to rectify this evil, but It is
well worthy of their consideration.
We have received and read ?Ith
much pleasure the recent aplendld
industrial edition of The Farmvllle
Herald. This newspaper, published
tu the thriving and progressive town
whose name It U-ars, has done won?
der? for the Industrial development
oftbeaectloninwhi.il it circulates,
and we know of no l?etter advertise?
ment for Farmvllle, Prince Fdward
county and Southaide Virginia gen?
erally than the issue of the Herald
referred to.
