Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1903-01-10

The people Of Virginia ULQuestloA
ably claim the right Of electing tha
commissioners OF the revenue. The
members of our Legislature kno"
that such is their wish in the matter
and it is now up to them to say
whether they will respect their vie" :
or vote for one of the many plans
suggested for the selection of this in
portant officer If in doubt as u
whether the people can be trusted in
e,ecting capable men as commission.
ers and their duty 10 heed the voice
of their constituents, their doubts
ought to be removed for reasons sug-
gested by the Richmond News in the
following:
If the Governor appoints the com
missioners Of the revenue, the otfcs
is taken into State and federal poll
tics and may be used 10 establish OF
greatly strengthen a political ma
chine. ii the Legislature elects these
officers, the tendency will be 10 re
establish the county machines, which
the abolition OF the old county cour
system ought to destroy. Itth'
Judges appoint, the judiciary il
brought into pol tics and the grea
constitutional principle Of the indie
pendeuce of the executive, judiciary
and legislative branches OF th'
government is violated. The Demo
cratic theory is that the people er'
able to govern themselves and should
be trusted to do it. There Is 10 rs
cape from that position.

AoooMAo COURT HOUSE, va.
SATURDAY, JANUARY 10, 1908.
Entered at the Postofice at Accomac u H.
Va. as second-class matter.

The LEGISLATURE of Virginia Is
again in session and the people OF no
section of the State will have better
reason to be interested In the pro
ceedings of that body for the next
few months than those Of tie eastern
Shore. Indeed there will lie cause
not only for interest but for much o.
deep concern on our part, II eHor's
should be made for the radlca
changes in our oyster laws which are
now threatened That there is dan
ger of the enactment of some FOOLISH
law bv those who believe that there
are millions in the oyster industry
aided by those OF more CONSERVATIVE
views. who may be misled by the
false cry of putting the oyster INDUS
trv on a "business basis unless 2
proper vigilance is observed by US
cannot be denied. To avert the dan
Ger which threatens us organization
not only is necessary, but there II
need for us to have some one con
stantly on guard, who is posted az &c
the oyster business. to ala our repre-
sentatives in the fight they will MAKE
for us, and who has the ability t'
command the attention of the mem
bers of that body. The time for WIZ
ming by appeals because Of our fal II
fulness to the cause OF democracy
will probably not avail us now. The
State wants revenue and it is for VI
to show, as we believe we can, thai
it will pay better to give the many
an opportunity Of earning a liyeh
hood and thereby adding to III
wealth rather than enrichiIg the
fow.asnow contemplated, by "leasiu4
the natural rocks to them.

Commissioner of Agriculture hoin-
er and Hon. George h. Murrel, o.
Bedford county, are developing
plans for fruit exhibit at the ct
Louis Exposition that will furpass
that Of any other STATE il the Union.
Both gentlemen are authorities on
apple raising, and they declare that
the exhibit OF Virginia apples at the
exposition will bring prominently 10
the attention of the visitors al the
big event the great advantages OF the
State in this direction.
The above from the Richmond
Dispatch suggests too that we need to
confer with Mr.. Koiner aud "develOI
plans" for an exhibit of our sweet
and Irish potatoes at the st. Loni'
Exposition, that will surpass that o.
any other State in the Union. We
can do it if we will and a step in tina
direction can be easily made thrOuLh
the Exchange. 1t may cost US some
thing, but with the prospect that We
will be paid tenfOld for the outlay
which will be made, surely we cal
sfford to make it. Even granting
that it may be only an experiment
the expenditure will doubtless be ap-
proved by the members Of the Elk
change, and we respectfully urge The
officers OF that organization to give
the matter at once the consideration
which it seems to merit.
