The snow storm of last night and
today will prove OF vast benefit to
the country. The storm seems to be
general over the state and the farm
ers of this great Centennial state are
happy as it insures bonnteous crops
for them the coming summer. The
storm was badly needed as the ground
was very dry. II will have tend
ency of holding the buds on the fruit
trees back from bursting into blossom
too early and if this community

Last year the weather was so warm
at this season that the buds were pre-.
maturely opened by the hot rays from
the sun aud then damaging freeze

killed all the fruit in the county for
the entire year. The last two sea.
sons were exceptionally hard ones for
the fruit growers of Fremont, as they
raised no crop in 1907 and in the fall
of 1906 the crop was frozen on the
trees In consequence of this condi-
tion of affairs the growers in most in
stances have played in hard straights,

partly offset the losses occasioned in

STATE BOARD OF uEALTu.

Delegate w. w. Bakers bin concern
ing the State Board of Health comes
up to-day Oh a special order The
bill is not altogether acceptable to a
number of physicians, who feel that
too little consideration is given to the
state Medical Society and too much
power is given the Governor who
makes all the appointments of mem
bershp on the new board. Be this
as it may, and without in the least de-
gree denying the fitness of the Medical
Society of Virginia to nominate entirely
suitable members for the Board OF
Health, it must be remembered that
Governor Swanson is fully capable OF
making uneXceptionable appointments;
that the present bill carries an essen
tial appropriation, and that it is this
bin or nothing. 1t is absolutely true
that Virginia is more backward in
state work for. better health conditions
than in any other one department of
public undertaking. Mr.. Bakers bill
may not be perfect; it is, however, an
intelligent beginning in a most impor-
tant line. To kill this bill means two
more years of the inefliciency that
necessarily comes from lack of funds
that is, preventable epidemics of small
poS. typhoid and diphtheria and the
spread of tuberculosis, which now can
not be efficiently dealt with by the
state Board, will be controlled and
stamped out through the use of those
funds which have been so long and SO
foolishly denied the present board.

A New Road Law.

Editor of The es-Dispatch:
Sir,-The bill recently introduced for
Improvement of the public roads seems
to be considered a hardship on sawmill
men. or class legislation.
The writer of this, being interested
IN the timber, mercantile business and
farming, would like to suggest as a
substitute for the bin first mentioned,
one which would seem fair to every
interest or business in our State. and
at the same time produce the desired
Improvement to the roads.
That Is, make law taxing narrow
tired wagons certain amount, say
81 per year, medium tires not quite
so much. wide tires not at all or
very little. This will not force man
to destroy his narrow tires now in use,
put will make it to his interest to get
Vie wide tires whenever new wagon
is purchased, which Will in few years
make them in general use all over the
State, and in the meantime the add-
tonal tax levied on the narrow tires
viii help fill up the bad places caused
by them.
Broad tires act to some extent like
a roller pressing the water out of the
around and letting 1t run off, instead
of cutting q deep trench in which II
Will accumulate and continue TO satu-
rate through the soil.
I would like to see an Improvement
on this suggestion If any one Will
make it; otherwise would he glad fol
our legislators to consider this plan

THE RENTER PAYS THE TAX.

A correspondent of a Boston news
paper in discussing rents and hard
times. says that the owners of houses
could reduce rents If their taxes were
reduced.
That is a saying which we commend
to every renter in Richmond. When
the ordinary citizen speaks of tho
owners. Mr. A owns block of stores
or a dozen tenement houses, valued at
100000, and we say that Mr.. A is a
large Taxpayer. why. that man pays
taxes on 100000 worth of real estate!"
But does lie? Does he pay dollar Of
the tax on the property so long as II
is tenanted? The tenant pays the tax
every time. Therefore, the tax rate Is
a thing that more deeply concerns the
man who rents a residence than the
Iman who owns the property, and there
fore the renters should take a keen in
terest in municipal government and
municipal elections. They should urge
good men to run for the. Council ant
Ishould give their votes to the best mer
in the race regardless of personal
favortism. They should uphold those
members of the Council who try te
keep down the expenses of government
and make the tax rate as low as pos
|sible, When the government is eXtray
, lagant and the tax rate oppressive, thu
, burden falls upon the tenant and no
on the landlord The tenant may no
, realize it, but he pays the tax whet
he pays the rent.

Whiskey aud CocaInc.
of The TImes-plspatch

Eoltor orsIIAe lmes-Dlspatch:
Sir,-Your editorial in Tues
days issue. based on the tragedy OF
Sunday night, is a very clear and en-
phatic advocacy of prohibition, SO far
as the selling Of cocaine Is concerned
Your position that, because the use
OF cocaine tends to incite to crime, its
promiscuous sale ought to be suppress
ed by heavy penalties. is undoubtedly
sound. But, your own news columns
being witness, the use Of whiskey is
sues in ten times, perhaps fifty times
as much crime as the use of cocaine
In the very case mentioned, the Grim
inal charged his acts, not to cocaine
but to fred whiskey." BY what pro.
cess Of reasoning then, does Tho
Iimes-Dispateh reach the conclusion
that the prohibition OF cocaine selling
- holy ana Just, while the same Law
applied to whtskey is ubiquitous ans

trade for the year would be something
over ono thousand millions and this m
only n yenr while, from 1890 TO 1887,
our entire excess OF exports over ini-
ports was only ss56,o0o,Ooo. The sig
lnilicarice of this showing Is irresistible.
In the face of It. who can believe that
the present depression can long con-
ttnuc. or that, in fact, IL has not al
ready passed?
Mr. Price goes on to argue that the
production of gold has caused the
extraordinary increase In the value OF
our agricultural products, and that the
changing basis of value due 10 the in
creased amount of gold In circulation
has caused the slump in the stool;
market and consequent revaluation
of railroad securities. Whether Mr.
Price is right or not in his argument II
lis ndisputablc that we have had ten
years of uninterrupted increase Of our
material wealth in gold, iron, timber
Ifoodstuffs. cattle and manufactures.
During this long period We have had no
great devastation of plague or famine,
Our cities have rot been destroyed by
earthquakes or our fields laid waste
by drought. The wealth of the people
and all that makes for comfort and
convenience have been enormously In
creased. To The Times-Dispatch 1t
seems inevitable that the people at
large will soon learn that railroads,
which are the largest manufacturin
industries in this country, cannot pay
high wages without receiving nigh
rates. When once this lesson is laid
ITO heart tire end OF the present depres-
sion in securities values will be II
sight. Ii the manufacturers want to
sell goods to the railroads; IL the rail-
road employees want steady work and
high wages. 1t will be absolutely neccs'
lsary to allow the railroads to charge
living rates for the services they rem
der and we believe that the time II
mot far distant when the public as
whole will see the need of this prin
lciple and insist upon its practice. II
the meantime. there is no ground fo
Idoubting the basic wealth. strength an'
ultimate prosperity OF this country

Thanks Judge Mann.

Editor of The T1mes-Dlspatch:
sir,-Please allow me space enough
in your valuable paper to thank Judge
w. II. Mann for the legislation in favor
OF protecting the public roads against
men. We have several cases
here in Nelson county Of sawmill men
cutting the roads all to pieces by haul
ing over them when the roads are
Wet And in a good many cases the
mills are owned by people out of the.
county and State. and ina few months
they do hundreds Of dollars worth OF
damage to the roads, and are out and
gone to some other county or State
without paying any tax in the county
they have damaged, Judge Mann may
not set the sawmill vote by this legs-
lation. though it will be a vote getter
among the farmers and others that
want good roads. ! would like to SEQ
a law passed to keep heavy hauling
off of tho roads when they are soft.
also the narrow-tired wagons.
Yours truly.

SOME rMEs-plsrArcn VICTORIES

When MCI'uH WIS tNtfultt III Nait''i
for the murder of his wife
The Tines Dispatch took the position
that a local hanging was an infliction
which no civilized community should
be required to stand, and proposed q
law providing that all condemned
criminals should be executed in the
penitentiary. At first the supporters
of the proposition We're few, bur the
number continued to grow, until the
Legislature was converted, and the bill
to abolish local executions has now
been passed. There will be no more
sbungled hangings in Virginia. There
will be no more hanglngs of any sort.
All persons condemned 10 pay the death
penalty will be taken to the peniten-
itiary and electrocuted.
The bill, which has now passed both
branches OF the Legislature, making
1.-THE unlawful selling or handling OF
cocaine felony, is another measure
which The Tires-Dispatch has sup
ported and urged, and we are graft
lhed that it has become law, There
Iare no two sides to the promiscuous
traffic in cocaine. 1t is menace to
society that must not be tolerated.
The House has also passed Senate
bill providing for teachers retire
ment fund. For several years The
has assisted the teach
crs in prosecuting this measure, and
/ we rejoice with them that their eff
forts have finally prevailed with the
laws makers. It is measure in tbs

Underlying conditions are sound. The
germ OF growth is planted in congenial
soil, and continued American prosperity
is as certain as the rising of the sun
or the return of the summer. Those
who bark back TO the melancholy en-
perience of 1879 or the deadening ter
rors OF 1898 would do we'll to consider
the differences rs we'll as the similar-
ties between those years and the pres
ent time.
In 1878, as Mr. Theodore Price re-
Gently petnted out in his address IN
Baltimcte, 'the United States Treasury
held only $22,5ooOOO, both gold ana
silver. In 1893 it held only $96,5oG,Qoo
in gold. To-day there is over 81, oGp.-
100000 in the United States Treasury,

As 60 per cent of our people arc
agriculturists, agriculture is still the
most important of our industries. II
is well, therefore, 10 consider the value
of this industry In 1900 the tota
value of agricultural products was So,

cultural products had nearly doubled
