The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1910-03-09

Immediately after the message WA
read in the Senate, Mr.. Fletcher. who
introduced the measure which bears
his name after several conferences
with Mr.. Swanson, then governors
said the killing of the bill Was a.
much a surprise to him as 1t was un-7
wise on the part of the House to am
initiate it, He said he had had a
conference with Judge Mann and the
Governor was much perturbed over
the failure of the House to pass the
bill and other means of correcting
the present evils of the assessment
plan were discussed.
At the instance of Governor Mann.
Senator Fletcher introduced another
bill providing for tax equalfzatton.
1t is substantially the same as the
original measure, except that IT pufn
the burden of equalizing taxes in the
one hundred counties on the assessors
instead Of the auditor of public ac-5
counts. and does not "centratixs
power in Richmond. TO which ms
House so strenuously objected. Thu
new bill makes many concessions to-
the House and the Senate hopes tbs
lower body of the Assembly will pasa
it.
After Senator Fletcher introduced
his new bill several senators moved
that 1t be referred TO the Finances
COMMITTEES Senator Fletcher object
ed to this. as he wished TO guard
against delay. Senator KeezeH, who
also felt bad over the failure OF the
House to enact the bill into law, said
the lower body's action had totally
upset the Finance Committees plans
for raising money with which to
make the appropriations contained
81 ~ -
moved that the bill be made the spe-E
cial and continuing order or businee1
beginning Thursday. The Senate
agreed to this and the bill WAS sent
to the printer. The Senate probably
will pass the new bill Thursday and
send il over to the House for Its ape
prevail.
1t is a matter OF conjecture whether
the House viii make concessions ~
suggested in the governors message.
The lower body, however, reconsid-
cred it's defeat of the Fletcher bill
and this may yet be passed by that
body.

RECORD OF TRAVEL
DECLARED ABSURD
Authorities Quoted to Prove Speed
Claimed by Explorer When
Alone to Be Impos-
sible.

NASHINGIoN, IL. G. March -
Commander robert E, Peary was put
Into the DI. Cook class to-day by Rep
resentatiye Macon, Of Arkansas.
In a critical survey of the explorer .
narrative presented to-day to the sub
committee of the naval affairs corr
mtttce OF the House. of which Mr.
Macon Is a member, the Arkansas
congressman declares that the mere
record of miles travelled each day 3
given by Peary stamps his story IS
a stretch of the imagination.
In Peary's travels from Cape Co.
lumhia TO the point where Captain
Bartlett left him and returned" said
Macon, "he travelled thirty-one day
and made III miles, or an average Of
| s.0S miles a day, This was not as
good an average of miles OF travel as
made by Dr. Cook in the same lati-
tudes.
The astonishing part OF Mr. Peary's
statement Is. however, the numb OF
miles he travelled every day after
Bartlett had left him, when no white
man WIS with him as witness, his only
companion being his valet of twenty
years service. and four Eskimos. His
greatest marches singularly were als

ator Fletcher Offers New
Bill--House Reconsiders and
May Yet Concur.

Disappointed over the killing OF thu
Fletcher equalization bill by th<
House. and apprecIating the urgenl
need of more equitable system Of
assessment throughout the State. Gov.
ernor Mann Wednesday sent the fol.
lowing special message to the Gen
eral Assembly
The failure of Senate bill No.
II in the House on yesterday re-
quires me to call the attention OF
the General Assembly to the im-
perative need of some method for
the equalization of taxes in the
state. Unless plan having this
end in view Is adopted at this
session of the Legislature, the
greatest inequality will exist. and
the greatest injustice will result
TO those sections In which asses

ed by the Constitution. assess tho

ment of this year will be the basis

Importance of having a uniform
assessment throughout the State
cannot he oyerestimated.
AT this late day of the session
II may not be possible to adopt
the wtgest measure or equaiiza-
ton, but as our finances Will be
affected for FIVE years and our
plans of progress halted, I arm
confident that the wisdom and pa
triotism of the General Assem-
bly, is equal 10 the emergency
and that measure will be adopt
ed which witt result in great good
