lily misunderstanding In
Southwestern Virginia.
Governor McKnney's forthcoming mes
sages to the Virginia Legislature will be un-
usually important in view Of the fact that
this year will close HIS term MS the executive.
One message will deal with general ques-
'tions the other will embrace the Governors
recommendations with regard to taxation.
In the latter he will recommend the imposl-
ton OF a State income tax on amounts above
$780, With this income tax and the adeR-
ton OF a system which will enable the Com
monweath to collect all her taxes it is posi-
Bile that at some future time the tax rate may
be reduced. The Governor will suggest that
these recommendations shall be referred by
the Legislature to special committee who
will report at the following session.
Another important recommendation will
be an increase OF the salaries OF the supreme
Court Judges and the eighteen circuit judges
Of the State. The suggestion will be for the
NN~NO
judges are elected by this Legislature. This
policy, it is believed, will insure the election
OF the abest men in Virginia for these i'm
portant positions.
Governor Mckinney will also recommend
revision of the laws with regard to the
commitment of persons 10 lunatic asylums.
The recommendation is based upon the re-
port OF the commission OF experts appointed
last year. as well as the Governors own OBJ
servatons. He thinks that all commitments
of persons to these asylums should be made
in court of record, The report of the com
mission referred to show that one-fourth o
the people 10 the asylums are dangerous. ID
will suggest that one asylum be set aside fol
the dangerous patients and the two Others
be maa6 "homes" for the non n-dangerous
