The free lance. (Fredericksburg, Va.) 1885-1926, 1910-03-12

The defeat of the Fletcher bill to
promote uniformity of assessments
by giving power TO the auditor to re-
view all land assessments -will be a
distinct disappointment to those peo-
pie who hoped for a move in this
direction. The measure. while not
perfect by any means. was a step in
the right direction and its untimely
end is regrettable. but some salts
faction may be derived from the
fact that the House at the same ses-
sion at which it defeated this meas
ure passed the tax commission bill,
and through its operation we can
look for a plan to bring about a
larger degree of uniformity than
prevails at present.

No Entrance There

There is one door in the big State
war and Navy building. which is sa,
cred to the presence of one cabinet
officer. He alone gets in and out OF it:
every other person connected with
the United States navy or with this
government of the United States ha,
to go around.
The door leads into the Office OF
Secretary of the Navy Meyer. He
enters through it and leaves by it, but
all other times 1t remains locked.
One day Mrs. Meyer visited the de.
partment. She was in a hurry and
as soon as she reached the corridor
In front of her husbands office she
headed for the sacred door.
Mrs. Meyer tried the door: she
twisted the knob, and then knocked.
She knocked again. The answer came
from Private Secretary Taylors door
In the form of big colored messen-
ger. He spoke to Mrs. Meyer, and she
followed him through the circuitous
path which leads to her husbands
desk.
Fifteen minutes later she came out:
this time she used the private door CT

A Popularity of Dreams.

AS to dreams, there was discus.

remarked that no man dreamed OF
himself as Drawer than he is. When
the dream came, the dreamer was al
ways the under-dog. He was in hor-
rible danger, and never did anything
picturesque to face it. There may be
men who are brave in their sleep. But
it would be interesting to find one
man outside of the dozen sleeping COW.
