Washington Post, Ind,

Mr.. Bryan knows a thing or two
about practical politics. When he
turned down the corporation and ap-
pealed to the farmers for financial
aid, he tapped the greatest fountain
of wealth in the world Perhaps Mr..
Bryan got his information from Sec
rotary Wilson, whose glowing annual
report shows that the farmers made
$7,412, 100000 last year-three times
as much as all the railroads made Mr..
Bryan is a farmer himself and he
knows how easy it is to turn volunteer
hay into heifers worth $3.50 each
According to Secretary Wilson, the
farmers during the last nine years
have added 500 900 600 900 to the
wealth of the country. Two years
output of the farmers is sufficient to
buy all the railroads in the United
States. Not only has the farm out
put doubled in the last ten years, but
the prices of farm products are rs
per cent higher than in 1896, when
they had slumped. along with all 9TH

Our community, if it stands fer
any definite line OF work ana de-
veiopment, stands for that Of a

High School building, reasonably
adspted to our reeds, is at the

Lexington, Va,
Dear Slr:-In answer to your

by voters in the special election,
to be held in Lexington On 9th
June, 1908, on the issue Of S2O,-
600. 90 of bOndsf
Sec. 81, Virginia Constitution,
provides az to voters:
"That he, unless exempted by
section Twenty-Five shall as pre-
requisite to the right to vote alter
the fret day of January, nineteen
hundred and four, personally pay,
at least six months prior TO the
election. all State poll taxes as
sessed or assessable against him
under this constitution, during the
three years next preceding that in
which he offers to vote "
1t has been a mOOted question,
as to whether this provision APP
plies &c special election. ard the
decisions of circuit courts have
varied on the point.
To set lie the question, the last
Legislature. on Feb. 20, 1908, by
an act made an emergency act,
Acts 1905, p. 83. provides
"rhat at any such special cleo
ton. held or or before the second

to the second Tuesday in June OF
that year all State poll taxes as-
sessed. or assessable, against him
during the three years next pre-
ceding that in which such specicl
election lie held"
You Will see that the provision
of this act are the same as the
constitution, when applied to ar
election held on the second Tues
. day of June. and therefore l an
relieved from passing on questions
that have been raised as to the
constitutlonality Of the act.
