GOOD ROADS.

Among the measures which will
couse considerable debate on the floors
of the Assembly, is the good roads bill
offered by Mr., Buntip, of Pittsylv.nia.

Of bonds to cover road construction and
repair, the fund to be managed and
disbursed by State Beard of Com

ment OF the reads of the State, which
good result is net accomplished under

fund in the lands Of the supervisors of
the various counties.

MANY CANADIANS EXPECTED
TO SETTLE IN THIS STATE.

Recently the Southern Railway
Land and Industrial agent made a
special move to attract tie attention OF
Canadians to the country along the
Southern's lines, Last week the first
result of the work was received, The
representative Of several farmers, now
residing in Ontario. called at the gen
eral office q the Southern, in the city
of Washington, and after obtaining
further detailed information about the
South, left for Virginia, where he will
study the resources and advantages OF
tho State, reporting bis conclusions to
his people in Canada.
1t is expected that many families
will settle ip Virginia, provided
favorable report is rendered BY this adj
vance agent
Heretofore, the immigration from
Ontario and Quebec has been to Mani
toba and northwestern States. The
large amount Of advertising the South.
ern is doing in that country will doubt
less turn the attention of that people
to the South, Once located in this
section they will be pleased, and it is
believed, will be successful.

THE TAX TONNAGE BILL.

Otate OeAaIOr -. AueIen 4uptouS "
Winchester, who is home from Rich
mond for the holidays, was seen thi,
morning by Star reporter in references
to the "Tax Tonnage Bill" which has
been recently made law by the Legia
lature Senator Lupton gave his reasons
for supporting the measure.
This bill, it will bs remembered
levies tax of Is cents per ton on al
fen tilizsrs sold in the State and The
argument has been advanced that the
farmer would eventually have to.sseF
the tax as the fertilizer manufacturer
would either raise me price Of lis pro-
duct or else give an inferior or adult
Grated product for the same price -
formerly charged.
Senator Lupton said that he did not
believe the farmer would eventually
have to pay the tax and pointed out
the newspaper business a. an example.
For instance. no said, the price Of
paper has nearly doubled in the past
two months and yet does The Star de-
rand any more per year or per month
or per day for the printed newspaper
The Star stands the increase in price
and not its patrons. In the same way,
he argued, when the tax on liquor was
increased from 80 cents per gallon to
$1.10. the distiller stoed the increase
and not the consumer because the
latter got just as much in drink and
just as much in gallon as formerly.
Therefore it stands to reason that in
lsyying tax OF Is cents per ton on
fertilizer the manufacturer must stand
the tax and not the farmer,
But, it will be argued, the msnuisc-
turer will either sell an infsrier or
adulterated product, and in this way
will make up for the tax imposed, while
the farmer will be also the loser. Ex-
pelience has taught, says Mr.. Lupton,
that this theory is not true. Under q |
system where one man or one corpo.
ration controls any product, the theory |
might hold, but it is competition that |
prevents an inferior article in any branch
OF pmeree from going on the market !
j as the consumer detects
- Q will seek elsewhere for
otter, and the second grade
Of back seat in the list of
1a lcts. Competition, We
al s everything up to its
b sac.. .-atoefa and go it is not diff
cult to see that an inferior grade Of
fertilizer would not be put on the mar.
ket merely to make up for tax Of Isl
cents per ton. ''' 90 y |
In regard to adulterstion MIR. .Lur.
ton says that this has been well pro.
vidsd for in the bill just passed. he
says that for long time the farmers
Of Virginia have been using the refsss
and rejected fertilizer that other States
would not permit to- be sold. Annually
Mr.. Lupton says, thousands Of tons Of
adulteralsd fertilizer are shipped into
Virginia from North Carolils;; having
'een rejected In the latter State, and
Jumped down on our farms. Accord
ng to senstor Lupton our Virginia
armers have been shansfully treated
n this respect, but under the tax ton f,
lage bill not only will they receive, q 1
