FRIDAY EVENING. DEC ., 1898

THE FACT that the Virginia Court OF
Appeals has decided that the law Tor
the sale of delinquent lands is constltu'
tional and must be enforced, emphasizes
the lesson all poor land owners should
learn about the folly of postponing the
payment of land taxes. Those taxes
no matter how unjust and unequal they
may be, must be paid, sooner or LATER
and the sooner the better, as there is
always 8 penalty for delay. Million
sire Northern landholders are not tax
ed on their surplus incomes to support
the federal government, but the poor
Virginia bondholder is taxed not only
for that purpose, but, if he fail to pay the
tax on the little piece of land he owns
by specified time, must submit to Its
sale By the States officers.
