State Income Tax.
Suffolk Herald.)

Suffolk Herald.)
We have been of the opinion for some
time that the Legislature should repeal
the law taxing incomes in excess of six
hundred dollars at the rate of one per
cent, and further investigation con-
vinces us that we were correct IN our
opinion If Hon. Walter Jordan and Hon.
William Stands desire to carry out the
wishes of their constituents on this sub
ject, we would suggest that they intro
duce bill repeating this law as early as
possible.
We find that the tax on incomes In
Nansemond county fo- the year 1901
amounted to sixteen dollars and was paid
by three persons, while the income tax
for 1902 will be seven dollars and nifty
cents, and will be paid by three persons.
These facts are conclusive to our nina
that the people of Nansemond don't pc
leve in the income tax and don't want
to pay it; it is dead letter so far as
they are concerned.
An income tax is the worst form OF tax
ation because it is wrong in principle.
It taxes the energy of a man; it is fire.
quenty double taxation; it is not equal
and uniform. because it will not be car
ried out alike oyer the State; it tends to
lower the morals of the people, IS too in
quisitorial, and is contrary to good bust
ness principles and a sound public policy.
No government should make laws
that are not likely to be executed, as
every time law on the statute books be-
comes a dead letter it weakens the gen.
eral respect for all laws and for the gov
e-n,a.nt Public sentiment is against the
income tax, and is the greatest factor IN
.up!.olt;ing all laws A State income tax
law is rndemocratc We believe that
South Carolina. with all its populis1n.
had to repeal its income tax law, as pup
lie sentiment was against 1t.
Virginia taxes the citizen on the prop
erty he has, taxes him for conducting his
business. taxes him on the capital invest
ed in his business. and caps the climax
by taxing him one per cent. (not thirty
cents) on his annual! income in excess OF
six hundred dollars We are tax-rldden
people. It is enough to not only dlscour-
age capital coming into our State, but
discharges enterprise and energy and
puts a premium on laZiness
Don't let US be demagogsc In our IDEAS
don't expect the other fellow to do VIVA
you will not do when you are In his place.
AS to what we favor too often depends
upon whose OK is being gored. his
should not be, but We should stand for
the right. AS the income tax Is wrong IN
principle it ought to be abolishe w
believe human ma ture Is about the same
everywhere. and it strikes us many coun-
ties in Virginia do not turn into the state
Treasury any more income tax than
sNansemond does.

Georgia And Her veterans.
fColumhia State.)


It is estimated that about a million dol
lars will be needed for pensions OF Con-
federate soldiers and sailors in Georgia
next year. This provision for the sur
vivors of the Confederate army ana
navy in single year in single state
attests the willingness Of the southern
people to do good part by the survivors
of the men who fought for them IN the
war between the States. The llberahty
of Georgia toward her old soldiers IS
especialIy striking because of the pro-
gressive ideas which are said to prevail
in that Commonwealth. It is true tnat
the flow of new people and of outside
money into Georgia has given her people
an air of business that some nave sus-
suspected to involve subordination or
sentiment Whatever the result IN otner
directions, it must be said of the Georgia
people that they have never yer s"erVed
from the true line Of their obligations
to their men who fought in the southern
armies

Richmond, apparently, is not the only
point at which registration for the pur-
pose of exercising the elective franchlse
has been slow and incomplete. Inc AT
lanta Journal says:
"That only S.047 of Atlanta's citizens nave
taken the trouble to qualify themselves
for voting in the approaching city prl-
mary is matter of regret as well as o.
surprise The campaign, it is true, doee
not present anything like a burning issue,
and to that fact may be ascribed the IN
difference of the citizens of Atlanta to-
ward the highest prerogative of citizen
ship. But that which accounts for In :
fact does not excuse it,
The Journal is very right in comment
ing on the situation as 1ollows:
Throughout each succeeding year
cries go up against this state OF affairs or
that but when me time rolls around for
the correcting Of Things denounced or
deplored, the kickers turn their backs
upon what is their high privilege and
their higher duty. and deliberately per-
NIT the continuance of all they have been
protesting against. Doing this, the body
of voters is at last responsible for the
existence of all, or nearly all, of that
which is to be regretted In public at
fairs"

The demand for oil stoves in New York,
it appears, greatly exceeds the supply
From 100000 to 10000 of these stoves are
facturers. This year the latter have dou-
BLEED their sales and assert that $780, 900
stoves could be sold provided they could
be obtained. About 100 per cent. more
of gas stoves has also been sold this
season. We wonder if the manufacturers
of oil and gas stoves contribute. to the
coal strike fund.

AMELIA COURTHOUSE, VA. Oeto-
Der 3.-(SpeciaI)-A negro named Norman
Williams was arrested here last Saturday
by Constable W. D. Miller as suspicious
character, Mr.. Miller having received
telegram from Church Roads to arrest
negro answering to his description, and
charged with having robbed the store OF
Mr. w. L. Blanton, of that place. After
being lodged in Jail the negro confessed
to being an escaped convict, having got
ten away from the guards while at work
on the public roads of Bedford county
Mr.. Miller at once communicated with
the penitentiary authorities. and also
with those of Dinwiddie county
To-day a Mr.. Williams, of that coun-
ty, came here and claimed a revolver,
which the negro had sold. He proved his
property and got the weapon, but before
going home he warned Mr.. Miller that
the negro was very bad one, having
been guilty of highway robbery, attempt
ed murder, and house-burning, and init
mated that if the people of his communi-
ty knew that the negro was here there
would be lynching.
After Mr.. Williams had gone an officer
from Dinwidde came. and, on the next
train, Mr.. Blanton arrived. They both
identified the negro, and corroborated
everything that Mr.. Williams had said
about the negroes character and the feel
ing against him in their community, even
making it stronger than Mr.. Williams
had.
Mr.. Miller reported all of this to Judge
Farrar, who, after hearing all Of the
rumors and opinions of some of the lead
ing citizens of the place, ordered the
negro to be taken out of jail and carried
to the penitentiary.

comment:

says:
The opportunity for a great national
exhibition is such as will not come again

that reason as we'll as for many others,
it ought 10 be utilized to the fullest eX-

more claims to that than several expo
sitions that have been already held.
