VOLUME 3 — NUMBER 11 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 17, 1952 Inspector Applauds Commissioner’s Office W. W. Birch of Richmond, li- ( C nse inspector for the office of Commissioner of Revenue, was in Rappahannock Monday and Tuesday on his annual trip about the state. Mr. Birch’s work includes inspection of merchant licenses, helping merchants arrange licenses, and any other assistance the can give in the office of Commissioner of Revenue. ‘‘Your commissioners doing a good Job,” reported Mr. Birch, who stated that he was spending his time in the office because the merchants’ licenses were in fine order and needed no attention. It is the custom, Mr. Birch said, to have an inspector visit eachi new Commissioner of Revenue throughout the state. “Mrs. Maaaie is doing exceptionally well,” he said, and explained that his trip of inspection and offering of help was necessary because there are some commissioners who came into office with no experience. Since Mrs. Massie had been a deputy in the office for several years and was thoroughly familiar with the work, the office in Rappahannock was found to he in fine order and efficiently handled. ^ -» V > ' » r.

Rappahannock News Published Thursday Morning at Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia Dial Washington 2851 LUCY CATHERINE BOWIE Publisher Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia. Subscription:-$2.00 a year Ben Franklin’s Birthday January 17, 1702 marke^ Benjamin Franklin’s advent into this world. In celebrating his birthday, many shall eulogize him for “Poor Richard’s Almanac,” and it, in itself, is enough to make him immortal in the minds of men. Some people will distinguish Franklin as the great statesman and diplomat probably wistfully longing for his counterpart today. Some few will extol Franklin, the printer, and others will recall his inventive genius. Regardless of the manner m which he is remembered, Benjamin Franklin can be listed as one of America’s greatest men. His life has given richness to many who have followed him. As a very fine sample of Ben Franklin’s wisdom, which has come down to us, observe the following bit of his writing, penned in 1748, 204 years ago: “Friends and Neighbors, the Taxes are indeed very heavy, and if those laid on by the Government were the only Ones we had to pay, we might more easily discharge them; but we have many others, and much more grievious to some of us, . . . We are taxed twice as much by our Idleness, three times) as much by our Pride, and four - times as much by our Folly; and from these Taxes the Commissioners cannot ease or deliver us.” -3rf—Form 1040 At Gettysburg One score and 17 years ago, our fathers brought forth upon this nation a new tax, conceived in desperation and dedicated to the proposition that the men, women, and children of the United States should cheerfully pay taxes in increasing amounts from generation to generation. Now we die engaged in a great mass of calculations testing whether that taxpayer, or any taxpayer, so confused and so impoverished, can long endure. We Letter To Editor ‘The time has come’ for us to drop criticism of our Federal Government and devote a little time to our State and County affairs. If true, as stated, that our Board of Supervisors is debarred from investigation and correction of inequality or neglect in assessment of personal property, the matter should be corrected at once. This property having been assessed at twice the rate of real estate in past? is the source of a large part of our tax income. For what reason should our Board of Supervisors, as manager of our fiscal affairs, be debarred from supervision of one of its principal sources of revenue?'Why do we go to expanse of an equalizaton Board every four years for real estate and ignore personal property which changes much oftener and is more difficult to value? Isn’t it a farce for our solo ns in Richmond to be yelling for States Rights, while denying the Counties any authority in local affairs? With taxes direct and indirect taking the major part of our income, the least <we can do is to see that burden is fairly distributed. How can we expect hundreds of property owners, no matter how honest, each fixing the tax value of his own property without seeing of comparing it with that of others, to provide an equitable assessment? What we need is comparative values, not necessarily intrinsic ones. The tax rate takes care of this. The only possible way to get a fair tax deal, which I am sure we all iwant, is for a single board or individual to compare and assess all property of moment. (signed) D. LYLE MILLER are met on Form 1040. We have come to dedicate a large portion of our income to a final resting place with thoee men who spend their lives that they may spend our money. It is altogether anguish and torture that we should do this. But in the legal sense, we cannot evade, we cannot cheat, we cannot underestimate this tax. The collectors, clever, and sly, who computed here have gone far beyond our power to add and subtract. Our creditors will little note nor long remember what iwe pay here, but the Bureau of Internal Revenue can never forget what we report there. It is rather for us to be dedicated to the great task remaning before us, that from these vanished dollars we take increased devotion to the few remaining, that we here highly resolve that next year will not find us in a higher bracket. \ REPAIRS/ *=#=#>/ WE CURE HOUSE AILMENTS!

The opinion of the bulk of the cornmen man should be the law to govern all. It is upon this faith in the aver, age man—his ability to know hia own mind and to manage his own affairs—that our democratic government is set up. The statement of the fair market value of his personal property is the privilege of the owner and taxpayer. What his neighbor pays is none of his business, and personally, I think it violates his rights of privacy to pry into his personal papers. I know what the machinery in my printing business is worth; I shall declare it honestly to the best of my ability and sign my name to it; and I have no desire for my business to be on public examination by those who cannot possibly know as much about my own business as I do. » A fair distribution of taxes has always been a goal in our nation. No doubt our tax laws are far from perfect, but the two suggestions do not appear to answer all the problems. (This is a personal opinion, but all laws represent a majority of opinion.) The suggestion of having the Board of Supervisors examine the tax declaration seems a violation of rights of privacy and places them in a position of judgment rather than a position of governing body. The suggestion of having an equalizatoin board, similar to that for real estate, may be a good idea, especi ! WASHINGTON I j THEATRE !

The appoint-" ment of an equalization board does fall more under the heading of the duties of a governing board, since it shows an effort to help a situation, rather than pass judgment on it. There has been no concrete evidence presented that “solons in Richmond” have attempted to deny counties their rights. As near as can be ascertained, the governing body of the county tried to change the salary of the Commissioner of Revenue, when such a change (by law, established many years ago) must meet the approval of the Compensation Board, with the power of appeal still left to the office-holder affected. This study is still in the process of being determined, and no final action has been made whereby we may either criticize or voice approval. I do not agree that what! we n«cdis “comparative values.” ■~~————— ~ What we need is just what the law asks for: assessment on a fair market valpe. If my neighbor does not declare his property fairly, and I declare mine in a comparison with his, then both of us are wrong. There is a right declaration, and each man can make his own statement. The idea of an assessor may be good; but, peculiarly, perhaps, I fear that much power in the hands of one man more than I fear the dishonesty of a few unscrupulous taxpayers who have no conscience regarding their duty to their government. -yf- . ‘The Time lias Come * | the Walrus said IflWtNHHIHI Famous days make an interesting study.

Yesterday was the anniversary of the Prohibition Amendment (1920), sometimes referred to as “The Noble Experiment." Tomorrow is Daniel Webster’s birthday, Saturday is Robert E. Lee’s, and the day-before-yesterday it was hot as summer time here in the middle of January! “Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise” and so any coherence gathered from the above named sequence of events leaves me sublimely blissful. o o o Errors in print bring much embarrassment to the printer and an I equal amount of entertainment to ■ others.

Something tells me the printer who was responsible for the “n” in place of an *V' spent an unhappy few moments while the boss cussed him out. o o o From an advertisement published by The Barnett National Bank of Jacksonville, Florida, comes this tale with a moral: “In our friendly neighbor city of St. Augustine great flocks of sea gulls are starving amid plenty. Fishing is still good, but the gulls don’t know how to fish. For generations they have depended on the shrimp fleet to toss them scraps from the nets. Now the fleet has moved to Key West. “The shrimpers had created a Welfare State for the St. Augustine sea gulls. The big birds never bothered to learn how to fish for themselves and they never taught their children to fish. Instead they led their little ones to the shrimp nets. —.'V' “Now the sea gulls, the fine free birds that almost symbolize liberty itself, are starving to death because they gave in to the ‘something for nothing’ lure! They sacrificed their independence for a handout. “A lot of people are like that, too.

What about our children of generations to come? “Let’s not be gullible gulls.

To prevent my growing up in ignorance, Sunday’s paper added this wealth to my meager store: “The spinach plant, a native of Siberia, was introduced in England more than three centuries ago, according to ths Canadian press.” Siberia has been referred to often as a place of torture, but now it gains the reputation of furnishing spinach to make kids throughout the world suffer—“eat your spinach, dear, or no dessert!” Of course, the whole thing may bo just a claim for another “first” for Russia, since they say they invented and discovered everything else before the rest of the •world knew about it. The time element in this item is also of interest. Back in the 1500’s, there may have been epidemics of small-pox and all kinds of plagues, but at least the folks hadn’t heard of spinach. Let’s see, the Pilgrims left England about ■that time; the history books say it. was because of religious persecution, but who knows? it may have been because they heard that spinach was .being brought to the country /rom Siberia, and they may have deckled to face the perils of an untried land rather than stomach spinach. That would make good material for a graduate thesis; at least it might be a new approach to an old topic.* xi County News Notes Mr. and Mrs. Fred Schaefer and two children motored to Front Royal Saturday evening to return with Mrs. J.
