The Justice of a late decision OF
Judge Waddill, that the State may
tax the stock of national banks Is
apparent to everyone. 1t is under
the pro ection Of the States laws and
there is no reason why it should not
b ear its part of the burdens of taxa
ton. AS the Virginian-Pilot well
says: THE tendency is everywhere
10 put wealth into forms, where the
tax gatherer cannot reach it and good
public policy demands that the
courts should check this tendency so
far as the law will permit. The owners
Of rational bank stock are, as a rule,
well able TO pay their taxes, many
have made no attempt to escape
the ID, and it is reassuriDg to know
that those who have refused to do so
ca mot dodge behind technicality."

Legislative Notes.

Richmond, Va, Feb. 5.-The two
branches Of the Legislature are rap
idly arriving at a basis OF representa-
ion for the Constitutional Conven'
ton. The House to-day agreed to
basis OF 100-one from each House
district. The Senate rejected the
nroposition for 20 delegates-at-large
and the proposition for 100 delegates

Sands plan OF so members-two from
ZACH Senatorial district-resulted III
, tie vote. Senator Glass, who voted
IN the affirmative, changed his vote
and moved reconsideration, which
is penuing. The indications are that
the Senate will adopt this plan ana
hat q conference will result.
One of the most important bills in
troduced this session, and one which
if considered, will provoke the great,
est discussion, was that introduced
10 the House to-day by MIR. Jones
practically proposing repeal OF the
Maupin anti-racing and pool-selllng
law. The bill proposes to accomplish
his object by amending the charter
# the Farmers Fair Association, OF
which Governor Tyler's brother is
enc of the directors. Mr.. Jones Dill
permits this association to hold fairs
and other exhibitions in HenricO AID
every other county in the State. The
bill permits this association 10 con
duct agricultural fairs and exhibi
lions. They may have or permit
any games of amusements, diversions
or chances for premiums or prizes.
The bill further gives the corporators
the appOintment of the police who
shall have control of the grounds dur
ing all of their exhibitions. 1t is barely
possible that under Mr.. Jones bin
prize fighting might be held on the
grounds Of the association.
The House today adopted resolu
ton requiring the County Court
clerks to furnish to the Constitution
al Convention complete and reliable
information regarding the expenses
of county governments.

The board has been considering the
best means of preventing it, at as
little cost to the State as possible, auo
the method you mention has been
partially considered.
You probably have faint idea OF
the great trouble we have to get the
laws enforced in cases OF violation, the
courts being slow and very often, II
seems, unwilling to have cases pend-
lng tried and disposed Of. We shall
be more than glad to meet you ano
