, ing the route, avoiding heavy grades
east of the city, and saving time in
shifting In the yards. This line passes
under the Atlantic Coast Line railway

ways. It extends over a distance of
eight miles from Addison In Dinwid
dle county to Poe in Prime Gocrge

SCHOOL TEACHERS INTERESTS)
Five or More Trips to Europe to be Given
by the Richmond Virginian— ~
Who Will Get Them?
* The Richmond Virginian has' arranged to offigr fiiye or more trlpa j
to Europe to be given to the moat popular school teachers. No one
except school teachers will be eligible to secure one ol these trips.
Of course the prime purpose will be to Increase the circulation of The j
Richmond Virginian In the homes of those people of Richmond and of j
the State at large, who are Interested In the schools anl the teachers. j
Nothing la more vital to the Progress of the city and State than good I
1 schools and good schools must have good teachers. The teachers should
I be encouraged in every possible way to fit themselves for better service,
and a trip to Europe will be a great help to any teacher.
In looking around therefore to find the beet possible persons upon
whom to bestow these tripe; The Virginian decided that nothing was
more in accord with The Virginian's ideal of Progress for Virginia than
to make this campaign for subscription a help to the schools, and so
The Virginian management hae decided that no one shall be eligible to
be voted for, for one of these trips, excepts school teachers. All white
school teachers will be Included, whether teaching In public or private i
schools, whether in State, Independent or Church institutions. The only
| credentials necessary to be eligible to' receive one of these trips will be
the positive proof that the person in question is fully recognized as a
school teacher.
Gentlemen will not be excluded from the list, although they will no
doubt be heavily handicapped In competition with the lady teachers.
But there are many, very many, greatly beloved male teachers In the
city and State, and out of five or more It mjght be well to select a mere
man, who will be on hand to protect and wait upon the others. The
Virginian would be glad to see at least one man selected.
The trips have been positively decided npon, but some of the details
j of the plan have not been fully worked out, so that the final announce
ments will not be made for some days. But the friends of the school
teachers can begin to lay their plans to get one of these tripe for their
favorite teacher. Subscriptions to The Virginian will secure the trip,
that la the greatest number of subecrtptlons will get one. and the
second greatest number will get the second.

The hell, which is more than thirty

History. It was originally presented
t'i the (irace .Street Presbyterian

about $4,600, and weighs about sev

It wp.a hung, in the church steeple
and for a few Suhduys It was rung.
Then It began t" '*• feared that the
reverberations might weaken ths
structure of the st. epic, and so for
years and years the rope by which
It vvue manipulated hung unused and
'die.
More than one year ago the eity
purchased the beiI for $675. it was
placed over the armory with the
Idea of ringing out the hours and

ed that its peals were so muffled by
the walls of the building that they
were barely audible outside. City

that a connection of electrical appa

The State tax on stocks and bonds i
will be greatly reduced after 1813. ir
I the present clans of the State tax
i commission are approved by the gen
eral assembly of 1812. Instead of the
present system of listing stocks and
bonds as personal property and sub
jecting them to th4s regular State tax
on such property, the commission )n
( tends to recommend the separate
classification of intangible personal
property and Ita taxation at a dif
, ferent rate from other personal prup
• erty.
The plan proposed by the tax com
. mission, and now being worked out
I in detail by Commissioner D. S. Free
. man, is known as the “Maryland plan"
> and has been tested with great suc
i cess In the State which gives the plan
its name. Dr. Freeman has been In
I correspondence with the authors of
i the law In Maryland and has been ad
vised of the great success of the plan
by his friend. Dr. Horace E. Flack,
' director of the bureau of municipal
research of Baltimore. A full report
on the subject will be presented to
the tax commission and it Is expected
that the bill on the subject will be
drafted and Introduced Into the next
[ assembly by Speaker Byrd.
Dr. Freeman's Views.
In discussing the matter thie morn
- ing. Dr. Freeman gave out the fol
r lowing statement:
f "It has long been apparent that
f one of the most onerous tax laws
- of the 8tate Is that imposing a tax
■ on stocks and bondn The State re
) quires the listing and taxation of
t this property at its market value
and exacts a tax of 36 cents on the
hundred dollars of value. In addi
tion, the various cities in the State
tax the same property at rates vary
ing from 11.25 to 11.70. The result
, Is a most unject burden on this class
of property. In Alexandria, for in
stance. where the municipal tax rate
is 11.70, a four-cent bond, quoted at
par on the market, and listed for
taxation, pays to tho city and the State
$2.03 on every $4 realised from the
interest on the security. The result
is one of two things: either the own
er of the bond does not list It for
taxation and perjures himself in lut
ing his property, or else he will move
to some other place where the tax
Is not so heavy. To pay the tax will
be to give half his Income from the
property to the State and city. The
effect has been that not 6 per oenL
: of the securities owned in the State
are ever listed for taxation, while
“ there are cases on record whare
e wealthy meh have refused to live In
e Virginia because of the enormous tax
r levied on securities.
* “Aside from the injustice of this
. tax. the commission believes that it
t is poor policy to discourage the com
1. Ing of capital into our midst by on
- eruua taxation. One or the canons
'• of taxation Is never to tax heavilj
■ any property that may be taken
,, away, and never to burden any prop
erty that may be Induced to come
- into the State. We believe that the
g radical amendment of the existing
r law will fulfil this canon, where as
0 at present we violate it everywhere
In the State.
e To Rectaahfy.
"Oug plan is to avail ourself of a
very excellent provision in the State
constitution which permits the As
sembly to classify property for pur
poses of taxation after 1913. and to
levy a different rate on different
classes of property. We waftt, of
course, to see intangible personal
property pay Its fair rate of taxation,
but we believe thle rate should be
much lower than It is at present. In
consequence we shall recommend the
enactment of a law which will fix a
very low rate of State taxation on
securities and will limit the amount
of tax to be imposed by any muni
cipality. in this way we think a
Just rate of taxation can be fixed.
"It Is argued, of course, that this
will give Intangible personal pro port}
an advantage over tangible personal
property and that stocks and bonds
representing to much money Invest
ed. will be taxed lower than houses
and lota, representing the asms
amount of money. It will be argued
also that If stocks and bonds do gf
present pay a high rate on the In
come derived from them personal
property pays the same tax. in anoth
er form, through the present Income
tax.
"In theory, this la true, but It must
be remembered that practically nc
tangible personal property la listed ai
Its true market value in the State,
while Intangible personal property. II
listed at all, must be listed at Its full
market value. It must also be re
membered, In answer to this argu
ment. that the present returns from
our Income tax do not amount to 2<
per cent of the real value of thii
tax, and that men dodge the incoms
tax. just as they dodge the tax oa
securities. /
Ma>ty Advantage*.
"At the same time, we sure advo
