Comparisons.

In our issue of Wednesday, the Sd in
stant we referred to the fact that this
| city and Alexandria had returned for
| taxation more pianos than clocks, and
| that the lists strongly indicated that the
law was being evadeA. 1t seems thai
| Richmond has been aroused to a discus
| sion Of the same question. In this partic-
| ular we are more favored, for the reason
| that, estimating Richmond's population a
100000, she has only one clock for every
2l2 persons, while this city has one fol
every thirty-two. Richmond@is there.
fore, nearly seven times as slow as this
city. If we are a tortoise, Richmond is
a snail. And yet our esteemed conten-
porary The Times-Dispatch, has the
hardihood to say in its Saturday issue
that "the explanation is simple, and has
more than once been made by The Times
Dispatch. The great majority of Rich
monders fall to itemize their personal eff
fects but list them in the aggregate But
1t matters not to the State, provided all
the visible personal property is returned
In spite of the fact that The Times
Dispatch has very cute way of saying
the explanation is simple. and has more
than once been referred to in The Times
Dispatch" we do not think The Times
Dispatch has explained it. nor do we re-
call the time and place when our es-
teemed contemporary referred to this
question before.-Fredericks Journal
The first explanation was made several
months ago, when another9estecmed con-
temporary took Richmond to task and
In connection with the explanation we
instituted other comparisons that were
not to Richmond's discredit Our Fred
ericksburg contemporary now forces US
to make comparisons with that city We
find that fredericksburg lists lat clocks,
valued at sesS, while Richmond lists 400
clocks, valued at s6,446. It would appear,
therefore, that the average clock in
Fredericksburg is worth only 81. while
in Richmond It is worth $3.50. Will the
Journal explain the difference? We. find
also that the average watch In Freder-
icksburg is worth only SIT, while in
Richmond 1t is worth s27
We have said that watches, clocks and
! jewelry- are by many citizens listed in the
| aggregate. We find that Richmond lists
watches, clocks, jewelry and household
and kitchen furniture aggregating $780,
044, while fredericksburg lists on the
same accounts ss7G7o. BY the census
of 1900 Richmond had population OF
$1,000; Fredericksburg a population OF
5.0GS. Taking these figures as basis
of calculation, the per capita assessment
Of Watches clocks, jewelry and fu .liture
in Richmond is 1872; in Fredericksburg a
fraction over SIT.
The total assessment OF all personal
property in Richmond. as shown in the
State Auditors report for 1906. was s21,-
O6S157, or per capita assessment Of
nearly $3.50; in Fredericksburg. s526,25S
or a per capita of 800.

State Press on
Library Decision
Kennedy Should Resign.

It was expected. after the investigation
INTO the conduct OF Mr.. Kennedy recently
mad IN Richmond, upon the ovid ence adduced
before the board, that there would be d.
vision IN the sentiment OF the board with
respect to Mr.. Kennedy's conduct but II
popular opinion was to be taken as a guide.
It was supposed that the majority of tho
board would vote to accept tho resignation.
Tho members OF tho Library Board are men
of unimpenchnbe character, who have per-
formed the duties placed upon them In a
conscientious manner and without pay, and
we have no doubt they have arrived at
just and proper conclusion.
The impression that Mr.. Kennedy's re-
slgnation would be accepted upon the ground
that he had dealt with the office he held for
his own personal ends no doubt had its ori-
gin in the fact that here in Virginia we
are practically free from the graft
scourgc, and the people are too apt to jump
at conclusions upon the suspicion Of 1t.
Nevertheless. it would probably be better for
the Library. better for Mr. Kennedy and
better forth public good. now that Mr.
Kennedy has been personally vndica ted,
that he insists that his resignation be ac-
