Yet, when you talk to the Legislature
about expending a hundred thousand dol

are individual merchants in the city Of

a fact which We must recognize. distaste

Virginia welcomes capital and will pro-

of the States holdings in the Richmond
Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad
that the Legislature had been "buncoed'

that the Legislature suffered itself to he

might come under the favored widow
clause.
l.ynchburg, Va, February 9.
a. A THOMAS
Like all chiyalrous Virginians, we have
a very tender regard for the widow, es-
pacially If she be young and pretty, and
she can always depend upon The Times 10
champion her cause.
On the other hand we have no sort of
consideration whatever for the crusty old
bachelor who has neglected his oppcr-
tl;n.ry to take some good woman for a
companion. 10 regulate and make good
and useful citizen out of him. Our cor
respondent win doubtless recall that a
iJynchburg editor, who was also a men,
Der of the Virginia Legislature, did his
utmaSt to have a law enacted imposing
a special tax upon bachelors. He was
himself a Bachelor and although ne
claimed it was through no fault of his
own, le was willing TO bear his part OF
the burden which he proposed to put upon
the class.
Seriously, we did not propose, as Mr.
Thomas int:mates, 10 exempt the property
of widows from taxation. we We're
simply calling attention to a condition
ana uSaQ the WldOW. IS nllte as an IluStra-
ton. Our contention was that while the
rate of interest had been gradually COM
ing down, the tax rate had been steadily
going up, until III some instances the
government received in taxes the greater
part of the income from investments in
personal property. We said that under
such a condition it WIS not surprising that
holders Of stocks and bonds bearing a
Low rate of interest should lock them Up
in their strong boxes and conoeal them
from the taX-sathereIts. In that state Of
the case, there must be a readjustment.
1t IS not a question as TO whether or not
the State will exempt the widow or any
other class of Taxpayers When the
State tries 10 take the lions share of the
income, Taxpayers are going to manage
IN some way TO exempt themselves.
