Gou. Lees Special Message.

In his special message, to which alluslon
was made, Gov. Lee will make reference 20
the election laws and new subj cots OF posi-
BILE taxation. AS to the present election
laws, the Governor lie frank In saying ne "a
yors q system which will insure to the voter
the utmost secrecy 10 casting his ballot. ne
ia opposed to the present system, which per
mits a voter to be surrounded at the polls by
partisan bosses. The Governor is equally
frank in expressing himself in favor OF
amending the laws 80 as to require the regis,
trstion books to be pnrged OF the names OF
tramp voters, men who leave the State Tor
an indefinite period.
The supplemental message will sugpest the
possibility of raising the $l65 OoO needed Tor IN
creased interest, according TO his plan, from
some new sources 1t is believed that this wiz
be the basis for vigorous attempt to settle Inc
debt. 1t is the opinion in legislative circles tna1
q movement will be made to make the taxes nlsn-
or on liquor, and that by the Governors sngges-
tion of equalization, much property that now es-
canes taxstion Will he made to yield revenue 10
It is thought by some that after the temper OF

The Boundary Question


Gov. Lee In his message to the LeglsIe-

limits grow dim and the Lawful powers Of
each confused. The act passed by the Vir-
ginia Legislature threw open certain oyster
grounds for planting purposes lying in the
Potomac river and known as Hog Island

were assigned to Z. r. Lewis. II will be

of three distinguished disinterested citizens
