devoted to the production and utiliza-
ton of. strong structures during the

ton of 800, 900 for the purpose OF
erecting monument in the City
of Washington to the memory OF

THAT for mpre than forty years ii
has been the entire will and wish OF oul
urited population to erase from human

MIR. 8, w. Sterrett Explains the
Sterrett Bill

The following letter from Mr.. 5. W.
sterrett, explaining the Sterrett BIZ
recently passed by the Legislature,
was published In Sundays Richmond
Times Dispach:
Editor OF the Tlmes-Dispatch
Sir.-I introduced House bill No.'73,
at the request OF the Board OF super
visors Of Highland county, which you
have said edtorialiy taxes stan ding
timber of the farmer and landowner.
Mr.. Woodson falls into the same error,
and criticises In very uncompliment-
ary manner to myself and the entire
General Assembly. This bill does not
tax the farmers timber or the land
owners timber, but on the contrary
taxes the timber that the farmer or
landowner has sold to spectators ana
from which the State is receiving no
revenue now.
This bill was introduced in the
House. and passed without dissent
ing vote. and, l am informed. passed
the Senate unanimously. Now leave
II to your readers who are lacking In
gray matter in the upper story, Mr..
Woodson or the patton and the Gener'
al Assembly. Now, I believe If you or
Mr.. Woodson had ever taken the
trouble to read the bill before you criti-
cised it, your criticism would not have
been 80 unfavorable and 80 unconl'
plimeutary.
The average man who Is not familiar
with the conditions cannot appreciate
the necessity Of this legislation. Fol
many years lands In Virginia contain
ing coal, iron, zinc and other ores
were taxed at nominal assessments. Al
these ores became valuable and were
purchased by capitalists, the iandown
ers. not desiring to dispose OF the sur
face, sold simply the mineral rights
thus leaving the surface and timoe
owned by the landowner, aud the min
! eral by another. The Legislature
more than twenty years ago, realizing
this condition, passed laws taxing tn
, mineral rights separatively. Thu
matters went along until in more re
cent wears these landowners in man
? instances have been selling the stanc
p ing timber. still ressrving to themselve
the surface. and the Legislature VIII
the precedent before it as TO the ore
n mentioned above, simply says, by IN
hill that these timber rights 80 sol
shall be taxed as the mineral rights ar
D now taxed, nothing more, nothing les'
What II it were otherwise2 The farme
