CORPORATION TAX AN ISSUE.
Richmond Legislative Candidate
Making His Fight On This.

Richmond Especially The Ques-
ton of taxation is likely to occupy
prominent place in the discussions
OK the coming Legislature.
1t has been made an issue by sew
eral OF the candidates in the primar-
les, and some of those who made Il
nave won out. Among them is r..
Z. Folkes, of Richmond, who is one
OF the nominees for the State Sen
ate Mr. Folkes. In several of his
speeches on the stump in his recent
canvass, asserted that the report of
the Auditor of Public Accounts
showed that two large corporations
operating in Virginia did not pay
enough tax to macadamiZe the drive
way from the Ninth Street gate of
the State Capitol to the Governors
mansion. This statement was made
In connection with Mr.. Folkes' argu-
ment In favor of good roads.
I'VE must have money to build
roads," he declared. and he then
took up the auditors report and
cited figures to back his contention.
The controversy now going on in
the City Council with reference to
taxing the Adams Express Company
makes the campaign utterances of
Mr.. Folkes OF peculiar interest.

N<Ti-tKHI PASS LAW.

For years the country papers. es-
pecially, have conf.nded that We
ought 10 have an ani-free pass Law
10 prevent railroads from issuing
free passes TO public officials. aud
preventing public officials from ac-
cepting such fayors This question
has been agitated by these papers be
cause public officials elected to
make and execute laws for the PEG
pie have 40 business taking fayors
from these public service corpora
tions while they are ia the service of
their constituents Aud these papers
have hammered on this subject until
the legislature has had To take hold
of the matter and give them relief.
Bur the members of the present leg
islature have gone further than their
province and shown their spleen to-
ward these country papers by pass
ing drastic law not only prohibiting
the railroads from giving free pass
es to public officials. but forbidding
these roads from making contracts
with these papers TO give mileage In
exchange for advertising space The
purpose Of this is to punish these
country papers for creating pubic
sentiment against public officials
filling their pockets with free passes
by denying them the right TO make
private contracts with these roads.
The country papers are the ones to
suffer. for the leading papers in the
centers can get all they want from
the roads, regardless of this law.
These roads have to advertise III the
large papers and they will do it; but
they do not have to advertise with
the country papers. and they Will
take advantage Of this law TO cut
them out All we have 10 say about
this piece of injustice is that 1t is
very shabby species OF work. 1t Is
nobody's business what sort of con-
tracts are made, legttimately, be
tween railroads and newspapers.
Both parties get value received. but
what do the railroads get out OF the
public officials in return for free
passes? They get nothing unless il
is Influence. And this is why the peu-
pie demand that the railroads dis
continue this practice. Now it is high
time that the paper people get to-
gether and have a concert of under
standing. II a few men elected TO
the legislature can practice this sort
of outrage upon eight hundred edi-
tors. as means of Furnishing them,
then the editors need concert OF ac-
ton 10 take care of their own priv
ate interests. They can rectify this
Injustice when the next legislature
meets. if they will begin the work
Immediately. They ought not TO sub
init to such an injustice without re-
senuug it-IIome and state
