Martin Has Enough.

The indications are that Sentor
Martin received all of the Joint de-
bate that he was able To sawllow at
King George Courthouse when the
Governor tackled him. Senator
Martin imposed the conditions of
that debate, which at the time
seemed rather unfair, but Mr..
Montague, even under the adverse
circumstances, acquitted himself
with great honor. The people Of
Virginia were glad To know that a
Joint debate was held, and are in
favor Of continuing the meetings,
as it lends zest to the campaign and
gives each candidate an opportuni-
ty of replying to his opponents
statements. Governor Montague
instructed his brother by telephone
from Berryvilie to invite Senator
Martin TO meet him in Joint debate
at Manchester on July 10.
We print the invitation as fol-
lows:
July 5. 1908.
Senator Thomas :. Martin, MUIR
phys Hotel, City:
Dear Sir:-The Governor autho-
rizes me to invite You TO meet him
in Joint debate at Manchester on
the evening of the 18th instant:

the custom heretofore prevailing
in Virginia.
The above date Is selected as YOU
appear from the morning press to
have no engagement on that date.
The Governor would communi-
cate with YOU directly. but for the
fact that he is absent from the city.

That Tax DOdglng Story.

The Martin newspapers, led by
the Danville Register and the Win
chester and Portsmouth Stars.
recently made the statement that
Governor Montague was tax
dodger." They stated that he had
not paid his personal property
tax in Pittsylvania county, and had
paid NO poll tax anywhere. On
his return from the Southwestern
portion Of the State. where he
spoke to large audiences. the Gov
erner gave out the following inter
view to the Richmond papers:
With respect to my poll taxes.
I will say that they were always
paid a assessed. In 1903, the poll
tax being a subject of general COM
ment throughout the Common
wealth, | scanned my tax account
for that year something which
was most unusual for me to do.
having always paid the same with
ont investigation and discovered
that the poll tax was not assessed
therein. This Ted me to make a
further INVESTIGATION. and | found
to my surprise that no assessment
had been made of my poll tax in
the county of Pittsylvania. for
period of seven years. at once
wrote To the treasurerof the county
requiring that an assessment of my
poll taxes be made which was done
+ in accordance with law. and
F prompt remittance made.
NO personal property tax was
+ assessed against me- I'm the county
of PittSylvania, since my official
residence in Richmond. but the
same was assessed against me in
this city. and promptly paid.
As respects my income tax.the
following letter from the Auditor
of Public Accounts of Virginia
speaks for itself:
Commonwealth of Virginia.

Dear Sir, In reply To your in
.quiry beg to advise that under
the laws then in force, income tax
was deducted at this office from
your salary as Encouragement
during the whole period of your
tenure Of that office, and that the

MORE STATEHOOD HOPES

The special correspondent of Dallas News writes
as follows from Washington:
Ii is no exaggeration to say that it is regarded as
foregone conclusion in Washington that joint
statehood bill will be passed The only real contest
will be as to the question Of prohibiting the liquor
traffic and as to this, the consensus Of opinion is
that prohibition will be made condition Of state
hood
The prospects, quite otherwise as to Arizona
and New Mexico Within the last two weeks there
seems 10 have been a very marked change Of feeling.
Hitherto it has been thought that these two Terri
tories could have statehood as soon they should
signify their willingness to be joined but now it is
believed statehood would be denied them even if they
should assent to that condition. This change Of
prospect has been due partly to the persistence of
Arizona in opposing joint statehood but more largely
to the belief that within few years each of these
Territories will be capable Of supporting separate
State government The understanding here is that
both these Territories would rather wait few years,
if separate statehood will be the reward of their
patience, and this hope has been held ont 70 them

The QUESTION OF TAXATIlN
OF Indian Lands Becomes Important in
the New State.

The question of taxation becomes
paramount with the dissolution of
tribal governmets. The language
ofthe treaties is misty on this point.
There has been diversity Of opinion
5 to when the Ind ian Il plus lands
become taxab t. Recently the
government departments have been
directing their attention to the
matter. The d els on, whie it has
never been officially announced, is
known to be such that causes a
grave complication in Indian Terri
tory and must be righted before any
system of taxation is made effective.
The situation is that in the Greek
and Cherokee nations the surplus
lambs Of the allottees is taxable
right now; In the Chcctaw and
Chickasaw nations it is non taxable
until title passes from the original
allo,tee.
The fact that the treaties under
which the land was allotted created
such a condition has evidently been
recognized by the Commissioner of
Indian affairs. This probably W,
The reason for his stating in a letter
to the secretary of interior that he
believed the surplus lands in all the
five civilized trib es should be made
taxable upon dissolution OF tribal
government.
This theory is further strength
ened By the fact that the local gov
ernment officials take the same
view of the tax provisions of the
treaties as are herein set forth and
realize that some legislation plac-
ing all the suprlus Indian lands on
the same taxable basis is necessary
in fairness and equity 1t is be-
lieved that in the past the at ention
Of the Indian department at Wash
ington has been called to this very
thing.
Prominent jurists agree that the
tax system can be established, and
it is more than likely that the lead
taken by the commissioner Of Indi-
an affairs will be well backed up
by the people who are interested
in the future of this country.
There seems to be but one solu-
tiou to the matter, and that is to
pass legislation placing the Indian
surplus land in all the nations on
same basis, and then make it all
subject to taxation. - Muskogee

NEW WING OF ART MUSEUM
New York Herald.

With the fling Of the plans for the
north extension of the Metropolitan
museum of art in Central park a long
step was taken last week toward the
beginning Of the actual work OF com
pleting the museum.
Finding that the quarters of the mu-
scum were fast becoming too small to
accommodate the collections of paint
/, ings and works Of art, the directors Of
the museum applied to the Legislature
for funds to build an extension and
were granted $1,250,000.
The architects plan provides for q
two-story and basement building to
front in Fifth avenue adjoining the
north end of the present museum. 1t is
to have a frontage Of l4l feet and q
depth Of 184lfeet. It will be of the
same material of which the museum is
built and along the same lines Of archi
lecture.
While the extension is intended pr
marily to- give more room for exhib
its, only tie Space in its two upper
floors will be utilized for that purpose
The basement Of the extension. will b
divided between an amphitheater ant
q lecture hall, in which seats will b
provided for 500 persons Here it i
intended Sir Purdon Clarke, the mu
! scum Is new curator, and other authori
ties shall give free lectures on art.

THINK NORTHWEST
PASSAGE PIERCED
New Bedford Skipper Says Nor
wegians Probably Have Ac-
complished Arctic Feat.

New Bedford, Oct 20.-It is believed
that the famous northwest passage from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, skirting the
northern extremity of the North Amer
lean continent, has been traversed. Cap,
tain George Conner, back from the far
north with the whaling schooner Era,
says in all probability the exploit has
been accomplished by the Norwegian
arctic exploring expedition =, Of Com
mander Amundsen in the sloop Gioa.
This passage has been the dream Of
arctic explorers. Many have tried it,
but none had succeeded. While Of no
commercial advantage, itsfnavigation is
feat many times attempted,
Captain Conner bases his statement on
letter he had from Commander
A1nundsen, who was then april 22) in
Giioa, King Williams Land. Gap
tain Conner figured that the ship must
have made the better part of the pas
sage, for she was in Simpson strait,
and the commander had asked. about the
country to the westward. : in reply,
Captain Conner had sent information
that American whalers were wintering
in Mackenzie river at Herchel island.
The natives reported that the Nor
wegian had made the passage. or the
better part Of it, and the commander
himself had sent word that the vessel
had accomplished all she hoped for
and would work her way out to4Bering
strait this past summer. It is believed
that the commander menat that he had
