WHO ARE BACK OF 1T.

A correspondent of the Richmond Times
has had an interview at Bedford City with
Judge E. e. Burks, a former member OF
the Virginia Court of Appeals. The ex-
Judge expressed the opinion that there
was neither the necessity, nor demand
from the people for new constitution, y
and
"Where the movement originated. who
were back of it, and what was proposed to be
done, were questions he had been unable to
have answered.
The questions are not hard to answer,
and the replies may be set down as follows:
l. The movement originated in wheat
1t 70 cents a bushel. and corresponding
depression in all farm products. These
made the people look aronnd for a cheaper
form of government.
2. The power back of it is the tax pay
ers of the State. Its worst enemies cannot
charge that the politicians OF the office
nolders are ''back of it, for all oppose it.
8. The answer to what is proposed to
be done is as clear as crystal, brief and
simple. 1t is proposed to adopt as nearly
Is possible the North Carolina plan of State
and county government, and thereby save
One Million One Hundred and Ninety Two
Thousand Dollars annually.
1t is proper to say that the way out of
our financial troubles was first pointed out
oy Senator Eugene Withers of Pittsylva
MIA, who produced the figures which North
Carolina and Georgia paid for their gov
ernments-both of which States are more
prosperous than Virginia. Mr.. Withers
figures have been read and talked about by
almost everybody in the State, and we are
surprised that they should have escaped the
notice of Judge Burks. If he had read
them be would no longer be puzzled about
what was ''back of the movement for a
constitutional convention.

over 10 bushels per acre from 8. Q0a, coo aeresin
wheat, exporting that year breadstuifs to the
value of So, 800 200. In the same year South
Australia exported 48l ,8Gl tons Of breadstuffs,
chiefly wheat. It's wheat exports range from
$1,000. 900 to SO, 100000 year.
In the same year that England bought
p, sos, 900 hundredweight of wheat from the
United States she took 3,S77,O00 hundred
weight from her Australasian colonies and
Is, 272. 900 from the Argentine Republic. Her
Australasian and Argentine imports almost
exactly equaled those from Russia, while from
India she bought only 5,349 900 hundredweight.
If it turns out that both the Australasian
and the Argentine crops are heavily short the
effect will be marked, as they furnish England
about % per cent, of her foreign wheat This
estimate does not take flour imports into con-
slderation, and while nearly all of the flour
used in England comes from America, we are
not so completely masters OF the British
market in an average year but that we are
likely to be benefited by heavy shortages
among our minor competitors. The dollar
wheat predicted by the Armours may still be
improbable; but it is evidently possible.
