NIGHT RIDERS In VIRGINIA.

NIGHT RIDERS In VIRGINIA.
Warnings by unknown persons, who
designate themselves ss night riders,
threatening deeds of violence TO the
farmers who reiuse to cooperate with
the Farmers Association OF Virginia
and North Carolina in their efforts to
pool the tobacco crop and secure higher
prices, continue to be posted in the
DanVille, section.
The night rider warnings have passed
that stage where they have been regard
ed by many as being joke perpetrsted
oy mischisVous irresponsible persons.
So far as can be gathered practically all
Of the notices posted in that section have
been written on typewriter, and the
whole scheme was evidently consphed
By the same party or parties.
The notices are generally tackled up at
night, aud fresh horse tracks can be
seea around the barns en- the morning
after. The notices are headed "a Fair
Warming" and an extract resds: "The
time has come when moral persuasion
ceases to be virtue. Therefore, If you do
net pool your tobacco and stand by these
poor fellows, who have 80 gsllantl7 held

ATEXANDRIA VA. THURSDAY EVENING. MARCH 10. 1910
APPROPRIATION BILL.

The lesnest appropriations bill offered
in the legislature iu many years was that
which came to the House of Delegates
on Tuesday. It's chief points of interest
are: J. M. Bausermsn, commissioner
OF state hospitals, salary reduced from
81, 900 to $1,000; appropriation TOR the
maintenance of tho Office of secretary OF
war records, held by Major 3. W. Han-
ter, not mentioned; salaries OF the CLERKS
of the Supreme Court OF Appeals eiimi-
mated and they will receive compenss-
lion In fees only until 1912. The de-
ficit in the state treasury is said to be
5000, 900, and this csrried weight with
the finance committee. The only items
for which the Legislature will appropri-
ate money are those considered absolute
" necessary. State institutions are all
provided for, but there Is 30 little In
crease for their maintenance that Il is
hardly worth mentioning. The increase
sll arose out of conditions that made i'm
proyements imperative. The state schools
receive their usual appropriations and
suffer little under the bill. The V. P.
I. receives besides its usual appropria-
tisn $5, 900 for agricultural experiment
work, and $4,000 for the School OF
Mines. While few iuxuries are allowed
uuder the provisions of this approprlR-
tions measure it is conceded that every
institution In the state will be able to
get along comfortably until another leg
IsIature and more prosperous times allow
greater concessions.

taiued In the bill:

STATE TAX WILL BE 50 PER CENl
Commission Asks Equalization Boards
 to Get Busy.

Little Rock.-The Arkansas Tax Commission has addressed lengthy communication to the members of the various county equalization boards, urging the county equalizers to use every possible effort to re- move the inequalities in the assess ment for the current year.
 Attention is also called to the fact that the county boards meet within short time and that they should have their work of equaizing com pleted by October l, as there is some doubt as to whether or not the time can be extended legally beyond that date. Emphasis is also laid on the fact that the county boards are the only authorized agencies for equaliz- ing individual assessments, having power in this regard superior to the county court and even the State Tax Commission itself.
 Assessment on the basis of 50 per cent of the full valuation is request ed, the commission holding that 1t would be both ruinous and unneces- sary'' for the property to be assessed at it's full value under the present rate of taxation.
 Personal property. says the commits sion, is not assessed as nearly at the proper value as is real estate, and the equalizers are urged to give the personal property assessment an in- crease that will bring it up to stand. ard. The rule for the assessment of banks is also given, as follows: Banks should be assessed at 50 per cent of the value of their capital stock, surplus and undivided profits. Credits, such as notes, accounts and bonds of various kinds, are declared to be poorly assessed. The county records should be inspected. says the commission, so as to determine what property in this regard is escaping taxation. Merchandise is also de- clared to be assessed too low.

equally good reasons against this prac-
tice
But one question will weigh in deter
mining the matter. and this Is the
matter OF breed. Breeders OF large
