in his reiteration that he has been unable

Richmond, Va, Aug. H.-Richard
Evelyn Byrd, speaker OF the house O.
delegates, to-day indicated what he be-
lieved would be the foremost matters tc
engage the attention OF the lawmakers
in January next.
He outlined the principal subjects to
be considered by the legislature as fol-
lows:
A primary election law. whereby all
parties-those which shall poll as many
as 10000 votes. say, at any general cleo
tion-shall be given the opportunity to
90 to the polls and express at a primary
their choice OF a nominee for any Office
to be filled by the people Of the state.
The State is to pay all expenses Of the
election. the regular election officers are
20 serge, and the returns are to be
made to officials for canvass.
Speaker Byrd believes that the question
of examination of State banks Will be
taken up and some method regarding
same adopted.
Equalization Of Taxes.
The equalization OF taxes is another
subject that Will be discussed. The
speaker believes that a board OF equaI-
zation will be established. He incllnes 10
the belief that the State viii receive
many hundreds OF thousands Of dollars
by this step. provided the law is care
fully drawn and the proper men are
named for the discharge Of the impor-
tant duties that will devolve upon the
officers. Mrs Byrd is pretty well posted
on the glaring inequalities that exist.
The speaker thinks that the time has
come for the introduction OF a new,
modern, and comprehensive system OF
handling the tax affairs. He has no
fault to find with the present system, ex-
cept that II IS cumbersome.
No Change tn Liquor Laws.
Mr.. Byrd does not believe that there
will be any material change in the ex-
listing liquor laws. There viii be some
amendments to the near beer" and 9TH
er near" booze sections, but these will
be for the purpose OF making the laws
palmer and more capable OF construction.
rather than with a view 10 making
stronger restrictions IN connection with
the sale or handling OF liquors.
