said Rupert more lightly.
Who may say that?" said Mrs. Hell

Editor of The Times-Dispatch:
Sir,-That the intention of this bill
is right no man can doubt. That lum-
Der wagons ought to be taxed no sane
man can deny. i only differ from the
bill in the manner of getting this tax.
The reports against mill and lumber
teams would be annoying in the ex-
IRENE. and they would never know
just what was expected of them; con-
sequcntly direct tax would be far
preferable. Let every wagon and team
used for these purposes be taxed. say
$40 per year. and the amount thus de-
rived be spent on the roads over which
the hauling is done. Then no one
could say they We're treated unjustly,
for the taxes paid would be spent for
their own benefit. simply throw this
out as suggestion.
