He Takes the Right View.

Hon. John F. Ryan was one of two
mem bers of the House who voted
against the fertilizer tonnage tax bill
this week. Mr.. Ryan, in speaking of
his reason for voting against the bill.
said that he had been taught in the
school of Democracy that tariff was
a tax. and that the consumer paid the
tax. He thinks it VIII be difficult to
explain to the farmers that the Is cents
per ton on fertilizer. as provided for IN
the bill, does not come out of their
pockets. He thinks if more money is
needed in the Agricultural Depart
ment it should be taken from the
Treasury Of the State. and not out of
the pockets of class of people who
contribute so largely to the support of
the State Government. He says that
eveky other department in the State.
mel ding the colleges, receive their
sun bert from the State Treasury, and
be jees DO reason why the exception

tied to more pay il should be given

Governor TyIer's Figures.

Governor Tyler has undertaken an
investigation to determine the per-
centage of increase in taxable valne in
Virginia as compared with other
States since the Civil War. Such a
comparison will indicate the increase
in wealth of the State. Much original
research will be necessitated. The
Governor has secured documents from
several departments of the Govern
ment of Virginia, and has written to
comptrollers Of other States for reports
covering statistics such as will be need
ed in making the comparison In view.
The Governor is inclined to the be-
lief that the failure of Virginia to fully
keep pace with her sister States is due
in great measure to the Discrimination
of the State and her people to adver-
tise her great natural resources to the
world. The liberal appropriations OF
other States which have gone to the
front for advertising purposes, at ma
tional and international exhibitions
are looked upon as means which have
attained a profitable end.
Another fact, that is shown by
| figures in the hands of the Governor
is the high rate of taxation IN Virgin
ia, as compared with other neighbor
| ing States. The Governor is much i'm
pressed bya statement made to him b.
gentleman who is interested in es
tates in Virginia and North Carolina
In North Carolina the estate will
which be Is identified, $4,000 acres il
extent, is assessed on the basis of S81
600 taxable value, and on this SUM
total tax Of sixty-seven cents per hun
dred is paid. The Virginia estate witt
which the comparison is made consist
of 5000 acres taxed on a valuation o
SOL 900, the total tax rate being ST.
per hundred.
| Governor Tyler will compare Vii
lginia with Massachusetts,, Missouri
Kentucky and North Carolina. H
will submit the results of his invest
) CATION for the benefit of the Legisls
ture, and hopes that the effect will /
Z to stimulate the pride of the State an
arouse the commercial sentiment i
favor of publishing abroad the advar
tages of Virginia.
