RICHMOND, Va., & *“The State will have to spend less money or increase taxe id Sen- ator G. Walter Mapp of Accomac here 4t @ meeting of the State Democratic committee. “I am opposed to any in- crease in the tax rate. There will be more money by reason of the increase n values of property, which is nat- ural, but there will not be enough in- crease to wipe out the deficit. 1 have no criticism of the management of affairs, but the fact is that one of two things will have to be done- spend less or raise more.
