Must Pay His Own Taxes.

The Supreme Court of Appeals
of Virginia yesterday handed down
one opinion before taking a recess
until the summer term at Wythe-
willie. The case decided Is that of
Tazewell and others against Her
man, treasurer of the city of Nor
folk. The petition sought to pre-
vent the treasurer from embracing
in his list Of voters the names of
such persons as had not personally
paid taxes in order to qualify for
voting. The treasurer demurred
to the petition for mandamus,
and the court sustained the de-
murer.
The case was appealed by the
petitioners. The opinion of the
court Is that each voter, under the
constitution, must personally pay
his own taxes.

Bills Approved.

Governor Swanson was busy
u,n last week. approving the bills
,,..sed by the Legislature, the total
number approved being over 500.
The repeal OF the Clarke county
,,sd hw was approved ON Friday.
Other counties having their
...cial road laws repealed were
Amelia. Nansemond and Scott.
Ahout dozen counties had their
r,,d laws amended, usually for the
rnrpose of raising increased road
moneys.
-Four bills of local interest were
r,ssed and approved by the Gov
ernor. one to provide that the
Town of Berryville could issue
b.nds To the amount OF $4,000 to
i.l,, up It's present floating indeht-
,,uess: one to amend the law of
1SqS providing for new charter
,,r the Town Of Berryville 60 the
extent that only four Councilmen
,.od be elected. instead OF six. as
crowded by the general Law of
1903: one Ia amend the general law
of 1908 To the effect that not less
,bqn four nor more than six cOun-
clmen shall be elected. instead of
of making the number six manda-
tory: one validating the acts Of the
Berryvile and other Town Coun-
cil, who have failed to elect six
cauncilmcn as provided in the gen
cral law of 1903
The four laws referred To bring
ont Joke on the Berryville Town
Council which has been known 10
bat a few people-it might have
been serious Joke both TO the
Council and Ia the banks from
which the Town secured money re-
Gently in the Water Works matter.
Ii appears that the law limiting the
expenditures of a Council in one
year to the funds raised for that
year was overlooked both by the
Council and the bankers. and il
would have been impossible for the
banks To have collected their money
without the law which authorized
the Town To borrow So, 900 to pay
of lis floating debt.
The law validating the acts of
the Council since 1908 was an
other Joke on the Town Council.
As the law of 1908 provided that
all towns in the State must elect
six Councilmen. instead of four
As previously done, none OF the
acts or ordinances OF the Town
since 1909 were legal until validat-
ed 10y the Governors signature to
the bill.
The general law of 1908 was also
amended so that only four Coun-
cimen need bc elected in any of
the towns of the State by making
1t read mot more than six nor less
than four
With two lawyers in the Town
Council and one employed as Town
Solicitor, the joke becomes more
laughable, as all three of them APP
pear to have overlooked the very
important laws which have been
amended to legalize the acts of the
Council which took place in viola
ton of and ignoring the law.
1t would indeed have been
painful experience for somebody if
the bills had failed to pass, and
lawsuits would have piled up
with agility against the Town, the
Council and everybody concerned.
But now that the tangle has
been Strengthened out, the COURIER
can let the people into the secret
and laugh with them.

$3.50 Diamond Ring-Man Says
She Owes Him Money
Loaned on 1t

F. H. Perkins. a manager employed
by Lawrence & Comstock, the racing
firm and managers for Lucky Bald
wins string of hotels from Arcadia
to Lake Tahoe, was arrested last night
on warrant charging him with grand
larceny.
The warrant was sworn out by
Maude Yeakel, a telephone operator
who lives at the Hotel Rose, 906 South
Broadway. In her complaint Miss
Yeakel alleges that Perkins took a
three-stone diamond ring valued at
$500 from her finger and refused to re-
turn it to her.
Perkins states that the ring was
given to him by the girl as security
for money loaned her by him several
months ago when she was out of work.
At the time, he says. he was at Lake
Tahoe and she wrote him asking for
a loan. He sent her the money and
afterward gave her other sums.
Recently, he states, she gave him
the ring for security, and when she
asked for it he told her she could have
it when she paid the money due him.
