Hon. S. N. Sample has introduced a
bill in the senate which is decidedly
along practical lines and should pass
without opposition. 1t provides for a
privilege tax on pistols and revolvers.
1t will have the effect either of mini
mizing the carrying of weapons or the
raising of a large revenue. both of
which are highly desirable.
