PASS THE OULD BILL.

For several years past we have
been endeavoring to impress upon
the General Assembly of Virginia the
Importance of amending the law so
as to make it mandatory upon boards
of supervisors in the several counties
to print in the county newspapers
itemized statements from time to
time, showing the manner in which
the public funds are expended, and
We are much gratified to know that
the House has ordered such bill
to its engrossment. We sincerely
hope that the Senate will concur in
the action of the House and that the
bill will become law.
Of coprse, some people will saw
that we are doing this in the interest
OF the newspapers. but such people
see through the speoracles of their
own narrowness and selflshness, and
their criticisms are not to be serious
ly reckoned with. The county news
papers will receive very little for the
service, and, as for the Times. Dis
patch, it Will receive nothing. We
take a much broader view of this
important subject. The great power
of the press today is in its news COL
umns. Publicity is q great moral
force, and it is publicity which makes
the press powerful.-Iimes-D Dispatch

CHRISTMAS DAY.

Thoughts while sitting at a Window
sat at my window and viewed the
throng
As they came aud went and moved
along;
Some were merry. blithe and gay,
Shouting aloud: "'Tis Christmas Dayl'
II you heard them talk as they moved
around
You would think they owned one-balf
the town.
But before night came 1t was well. nigh
spent,
Their clothes were ruined and their
forms we'll bent.
One little urchin stepped in at the door,
Pulled off his cap and bowed very low.
you'll excuse me, I'm only making =
round
To see what Old Sanity Claus brought to
the town
"He was loaded with goodies, so the old
folks say,
But didn't think that he came my way
So excuse me. for Pm only looking
around
To see what he left In this part of the
town.
Hello There sits in the corner Christ
mas tree,
Aud some of its goodies must surely be
for me-"
So he gave 1t shake and the goodies
did Fail,
And he picked them up and was hap
piest of all.
There's one thing about Sanity Claus
can't understand,
With sled and reindeer he can cover this
broad land;
The automobile is not In it when you
consider the flight
That Old Sanity can make in one single
night.
Now the stove-pipe and chimney are his
only exit,
And it bothers my brain to know how he
makes Il.
bis pathway is black and dirty, you very
well know,
Yet he keeps his goods clean and white
as the snow. ". r.

rangements had been made for all
the machinery and accessories of
the Philadelphia TImes's plant to
be packed, and before now a small
army of men has been employed for
the purpose and special train en-
gagged to transfer the property to
Baltimore. Within a few DAYS, prob.
ably before the end of this week.
Mr.. Grasty expects to have his new
publishing house in full operation
and to be able, with the superior
facilities at hand, to materially as
sist any of his Baltimore contempo-
rarles who may require aid.
Mr.. Grasty left for Baltimore in
the afternoon deeply impressed with
the spirit of sympathy manifested
here for the distressed in his own
city. He had accomplished in few
hours a task which, under other
circumstances, might have consumed
weeks or months.

BALTIMORE NEWS ENTERPRISE

The New York Times says:
An interesting illustration of the
immediate and vigorous steps taken
by the newspaper proprietors of Bal
timore to resume business when they
found their plants completely de-
stroyed by the confagration is found
in the experience of Charles H.
Grasty, the publisher of the Baltl-
more Netos and a director of the AS
sociated Press.
With. the Baltimore NeaDs building
in ruins, Mr.. Grasty promptly ar
ranged with the Washington Post to
continue his publication temporarily.
Then he jmmped on the midnight
train for New York, arriving here
early next morning. In the mean
time he had the good fortune to Sc
cure an option on large vacant
building in Baltimore. Upon reach
ing here, the first thing he did was
to find telephone and call up
Adolph s. Ochs at his residence.
Then conversation was held sub
stantially as follows:
"Hello. Is this Mr.. Ochs?"
"Yes. Who is It?"
"Grasty-the Baltimore Ne,os."
Where are you?"
''Pm in New York."
"Awfully sorry to hear of your
loss"
Everything has been destroyed in
Baltimore. How about that Phila-
delphia Times plant?"
"That plant is at your service"
"What's the price?"
"Go and take it, and if you and l
can't agree upon price later, why
we'll leave the matter to a third
party"
Thanks That's satisfactory. I'll
take it."
And thus a $150,0OO newspaper
establishment was secured for The
use of the Baltimore Mescs in less
time than it takes to tell it. The
plant is thoroughly modern and
complete in every detail, it being
that with which the Philadelphia
Times. popularity regarded as a
model of typographical art, has
heretofore been produced, and in
cludes Hoe presses, an up-to-date

ment, a first-class composing-room
outfit and a complete library, to-

ITEMS OF INTEREST.

The per capita of circulation in
the United States is now $aO.2I,
which is the highest point ever
reached ia this country.
While man las approached the
North Pole within 23S miles, no one
has yet stood within 772 miles of
the South Pole.
Senator Martin is recognized as a
man of push and practical good
sense and he is just the man to father
a national good-road movement and
push it to success. Do this and the
people of Virginia will keep him in
the Senate until he 'is ready of his
own motion to retire. Sentimental
politics has no proper place. in this
age of intense activities.-FarmviNe
Herald.
Experience shows full we'll that a
secret ballot election, no matter of
what character, but especially pri-
mary, is delusion and a snare, for
the impression generally and correct
ly prevails that it makes no difference
whether one votes or not, because
bis vote will be counted or discarded
as the exigencies of the case may re-
qulre. If We cannot have an open
and public vote with all the guaran-
tees of honesty which the viva voce
method supplies, then better far not
have any primary at all.-Petersburg
I'ader-Appeal.
Of course we think that geograph
ical considerations have some weight
in State, as well as in national poll
tics; but we do not think that they
''settle" things, by any manner of
means. If they did, Tidewater would
not have been left 80 long without
representation on the Gubernatorial
ticket and In the Senatorial delega-
ton. In every gubernatorial nomi-
mating convention the political snub-
bing of Tidewater is brought for
ward, as the Inder-Appeal notes, but
bringing it forward does not seem to
have enough weight to check habit
which bids fair to become confirmed.

THE INCOME TAX.
(Tymes Dispatch

A year ago we called attention to
the subject of income tax in Virginia
aud showed by the auditors report
that the total revenue from this
source in 1902 Was $64,223 15, and
that in several counties no income
tax whatever was eSen assessed, while
in most Of them the amount was
ridiculously small. The auditors
report for 1908 does not show much
improvement over that of 1902. The
total income tax assessed in 1908
throughout theentire State amounted
to $40, 700 61, of which the counties
paid $19,63l.31, and the cities $751;
069.30 In other words, the eightee
cities in the State paid nearly three
times as much income tax as the one
hundred counties. The counties of
Amelia, Bland, Buchanan, Carroll,
Charles City, Essex, Floyd, Fluvanna,
Grayson, Greene, Highland, James
City, King George, King and Queen,
Lee, Mathews, Middlesex, Patrick,
Russell, Scott, Spotsylvania and
Stafford returned not dollar on the
income tax account. According to
this report we are to believe that
there is not taxpayer in any one of
those counties who has an income
exceeding $500 a year.
Only four counties in the State
Albemsrle, Henrico, Tazewell and
Wise-returned as much as $1,000
in income tax. Henrico heads the
list with $2,053, while the county Of
Wise comes next with $2.04S29;
Caroline returned SIS; Dickinson So;
Sussex $3.50; Westmoreland 81.
The county of Prince Edward,
which is not regarded as one of the
wealthiest counties in the State by
any means, returned $760.90, while
the county of Norfolk, in which the
great trucking interest is carried on,
returned $333.30.
The city of Richmond returned on
this account $26,199.69, which was
nearly $4,000 more than the income
assessment of all the counties in the
State, and was more than twice as
great as the income assessment against
oil the other cities in the State. The
city of Lynchburg was assessed &c.
664.65, while the city of Norfolk
was assessed $5,703.99. The whole
amount of income tax assessed
against the negroes of the Common
wealth was $3.50.
We again direct attention to this
subject by way of showing that the
income tax in Virginia is almost a
farce, and some measures should be
taken to enforce the assessment and
collection on this account, else the
whole system should be abolished
tits manifestly unequal and unfair,
as the assessment now goes, and
doubtless many men decline to give
In an income tax because they know
that the great majority of taxpayers
ignore 1T altogether.

Can Kill Robins February 18th.

There has been some misunder-
standing as to whether or not robins
could be killed under the new game
law. Section 2 of the new game law
provides that it shall be unlawful
for any person to kill or capture. or
buy, offer for sale or have in posses
slon robins between April 1st and
February 10Th. The season for shoot
ing, then, is from February 10Th to
April 15th-two months.
This is much to the regret and
disappointment of farmers and bird
lovers, who had hoped that the rob-
In was included in the list of song
birds. Notwithstanding it may be
lawful, no one should want to kill
robin red-breast, who is the farmers
best friend.
