A card from sir. EIann.
HALL OF House or DELEGNTEs,

HALL OF House OF DELEGATES,
RICHMOND, Va, February 8, 1888.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
The importance of the subject and the
great public interest taken in it in
duce me to ask a little space in your
columns to defend and justify the road
reform proposed by me in the Leglsla-
ture, and | ask this with the more conf
dence because your legislative reports
very naturally always leave the anti
reformers masters oil the field OF state
ment and argument, backed by an in-
tdiiibic majority OF votes.
Nv first measure WAS bill to require
that all road labor should be paid but
this was opposed and defeated chiefly on
the ground that it provided no revenue
in the counties to pay this labor and that
it interfered with the policy OF special
road laws. The answer 10 all this was
that the special road-aw policy IS mis-
taken one, and that the general law 81
ready provides sufficient road revenue by
authorizing supervisors TO levy and fix
on property an annual road tax OF not
less than five nor more than fifteen cents
on every 800 of assessed values hold
ing that the maximum tax would be suf-
fcient. But the bill was defeated not
withstanding. and in spite OF the demon
strated unfairness and impohcy OF the
labor tax for roads.
NV second bill discussed yesterday
and refused engrossment) steered clear
of all interference with any special road
law, and only proposed 10 strike from
the general law the sections imposing
and enforcing unpaid labor on roads,
while it amended the general law in It's
sixteenth section so as TO provide that
supervisors mdY, ii necessary, imposea
license tax ION every wheeled vehicle or
conveyance used for transportation on
public roads this being 10 addition to
the property tax which that section says
the supervisors shall levy and fix. AS
this measure squarely net the principal
alleged objections to my first bill, OF
course fresh objections were invented.
Mr. RYAN pleaded the baby act against
the license tax. and made an infantile
argument against It's consttutionality.
Mr.. Pollard confessed that he believed
/ the proposed license tax the most just
road tax that could be laid but he, too,
alleged its unconstitulionality while
maintaining the constitutionality of the
labor tax. because the Constitution says
section 4. Article v, that no voter shall
be compelled to work on roads on cleo
tion day.
Your reporter gives no hint that
Messrs. Ryan and Pollard were replied
