secured the prairies all that day and all

Tho Virginia Fertilizer Tax.
lac Editor OF the Dlspatch:

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
The Governor, I'm his able message, calls
the attention Of the Legislature to this
important subject, and shows the loss OF
revenue to the State as compared with
other States that have a tonnage tax. In
addition to the loss TO the State, / would
call the Legislatures attention to the
great injustice Of the present law, 10
smaller manufacturers, as compared with
others. The small manufacturer has TO
pay from 40 to 90 vents per ton on his
sales in the State, while his powerful
competitors probably pay not over 8
cents per ton, thus giving them a saving
OF considerable per cent IN the tax
alone.
i am aware that this is o license tax.
but it is levied very differently from the
license-tax on all other enterprises and
occupations of our citizens.
All others are taxed in proportion 10 the
amount OF business they do. Every
manufacturer OF fertilizers, to the extent
OF his output, may be classed as a mer-
chant for he has to dispose of his goods.
Now merchants are taxed on the amount
OF their purchases and not on their sales,
for the obvious reason that they are not
supposed to add TO the value OF their pur-
chases by manipulation. The fertilizer
manufacturer purchases only raw mate
rial, the value OF which iS considerably
enhanced by manipulation. the labor and
expense Of which constitute cOnsidera-
BILE portion of the coat OF the goods when
put on the market. Hence, To put him
on an equality with the merchant IL is
necessary to tax him la proportion to his
sales.
An arbitrary tax Of $780, whether the
business be small or large, seems to me
to be repugnant TO tho spirit, II not TO
the letter, OF the Constitution, which re-
quires taxation 10 be equal.
/ am aware that the larger manufac-
turers have contended that a tonnage
tax, however small, would be added TO
the price, and that II would be a direct
tax on the farmer. In this age OF COM
petition nothing can be more absurd. No
one can believe that Is or % cents per
ton would stand In the way OF sale. They
now pay rs cents per ton In North and
South Carolina, and 1 venture to say
the farmers in those States pay no more
than the farmers OF Virginia.
AS all fertilizer licenses expire on the
Slst OF December. any legislation to be-
effective should be perfected before that
lime. MANUFACTURER.

Among the picturesque public charac-

Historians recognize and represent him
as the typical Virginia statesman, and

dead, blossom about the spot that marks
his resting place.
There are many anecdotes told and
printed of the eccentricity, the power Of
sarcasm, and the wonderful eloauence Of
the man who was probably the most
unique figure of the current century.
CONGRESSMAN. SENATOR, DIPLo-
MAT,
For more than thirty years Randolph
was constantly in public life, serving as
congressman, senator, and Minister to
Russia, during which time he was called
the political meteor of his day and at
tracted the attention OF the public in
way that no other man ever did. He was
known by many, but comprehended by
none; his brilliancy was equalled only by
his eccentricity; and his mirth mingled
with a sadness not untouched by bitter
ness. His whole life was tinged with that
morbid unhappiness and love Of solitude
which characterized his later years. He
believed himself TO be the child of destiny
and would often assert in tones Of great
anguish that he felt "the curse" cleaving
to him.
In his early youth Randolph acquired
broad knowledge Of politics and wide
familiarity with the leading politicians of
the country. This knowledge served him
well in 1893. when he found himself elect
ed TO Congress. During the ensuing four
teen years he became the most prominent
figure in the congressional body. Crowds
fiocked TO the House whenever 1t was an
nounced that he would speak, and a
lasting impression was made upon all
who listened to the words Of the TALL
gaunt man, with dark eyes flashing, and
sailow face lighted up by his wonderful
eloquence. He emphasized, with a long,
bony forefinger. some Of the most cut
ting barbs Of irony and sarcasm that ever
fell from mortal lips. Sometimes, but not
with frequence. he made use of his power
OF pathos and swayed the emotions OF his
audience even as reeds are swayed by
the wind.
RETIREMENT TO ROANOKE.
In 1918 Randolph retired temporarily
from the excitement OF public life and
returned TO his estate, on the Stanton
river, the celebrated Roanoke, which is
never separated from the mention OF his
mama.
Here he dwelt alone, save for his slaves, |

The other college president with whom
We have TO deal today is on a sonnet hat
different footing. We refer, of course, to
Dr. Andrews, late of Brown, who politely
declines the invitation of the corporation 10
withdraw his resignation. DIR. Andrews
says that the suggestion comes too late, as
he has made other arrangements. His re.
fusal to reconsider his retirement will
leave the Brown trustees in an uncomforJ
ableposition; butt will be one i'm which the Y
will net lave the least public sympathy.
In ever there was q discredited lot of fos
slls, the Pr avn bigots are that same. Their
alumni almost TO d man have condemned
them. The press of all parties has de-
nounccd them, and. to cap the climax, the
Hon. Richard Olney has criticised them Sc
vereiy in a published letter. Now the gray
fly Of the situation lies in the fact that the
American people know the Hon. Richard
0iney like book. 1t will be impossible
for the Brownists to make them believe that
anything capable of shocking olney is not
too bad to be loose and at large. We are
sorry for those trustees, and congratulate
Dr. Andrews on being jolly well rid of the
Lot.
