The object of the new tax laws

The object of the new tax laws
was to raise more revenue. Now,
that is "cinch". To do that the
people must pay more taxes. If
You don't believe that the object
of tax reform was to increase the
revenues of the state, you have
only to look at the last message of
Governor White, where he said in
plain and unmistakable terms that
there must be some means devised
to raise more revenue. That has
been the object all along, no one
has ever questioned it, and the
commissions that have been sp.
pointed have had that in mind and
have worked to that end. Now, it
has never been the dream of the
tax payer that his property would
be raised for the purpose of reduo
ing his taxes. The idea of raising
your property 30 that taxes would
pc lower! 1t is simply ridiculous
right on the face of the thing. Ii
is to be raised for the purpose OF
increasing the amount of his taxes,
when it is necessary that his taxes
be raised to meet the wishes of the
administration, and to meet the
payment of the bonds held by the
Republican politicians. which is
known as the old Virginia debt.
The taxes in some counties in this
state have been increased Just as
much as they could be, and every
body knows it. It may not have
been necessary in this county. al
this time, to raiss the taxes all
they could be, because the curren'
expenses, which have bsen SO re-
terially kept down by the economy
of Mr.. Vaught, has rendered it IN
necessary that the taxes be iroreas-
ed to the limit. The limit tina,
was fixed upon raising taxes comes
off in 1907, and you should breathe
as pleasantly as you can until that
time. for mortal man, and all his
sons know, what the result will be
after 1867. Take advantage of it
while you can, for the limit Yves
fixed on the amount of taxes that
was to be raised, solely for political
purposes There is tax reform
needed. but you need men in the
Legislature who has some capacity
for making laws, and who will
know what is needed in order to
equalize taxation, and who will pro.
tect the people from the old Vir-
ginia bonds held by the Republi-
can politicians; you need men of
judgment. capacity and brains,
and back of it all, honesty. Is
there a citizen in the oou nty
who would be afraid to trust ali
his property in the hands of w
e Ruttenoutter? Is there man,
woman, or child in the county, who
would be afraid to trust their lives
in the hands of DIR. CampbelIp
Can you find a safer and more CON-
soientious man than W.O. Whaley ?
Certainly not. Then you can safe
ly trust to them for making laws.
that will be to the interest cf the
people of the whole state; and you
can rely upon them preventing
schemes that will inure to the
benefit of the politicians. They
dnaw what you need, they are able
to help you to get it, and they are
interested enough to work for you
and for yonr family, and, if elected.
they will do it. Try them and
see.

Success in attendance and sales.
Never have we shown so mag

ter merchandise and those who
have visited the store are show
ing their appreciation of our

The scarcity of some materials
is causing US no little extra
trouble in securing ready to

advanced the season the more
will be the scarcity.
We give you this information
SO that you may see the neces-
sity for making your fall pur-
chases as early as is convenient.
The buyers for this store will
not lag for one moment in their
efforts to secure the choicest
merchandise, but it is a we'll
known fact that the manufactur-
ers both home and foreign are
unable to supply the demands
for the kinds of merchandise
most sought for.
Style and quality always being
the watch word of this store, we
are not so anxious about under
selling other stores as we are to
show the best, most stylish up
to date assortments; however,
we do not loose sight of the
fact that most foolish is the
