A Study in Theories.

An interesting citizen appeared before a conf
mttee of the Legislature the other day with the
interesting proposal that the law-making body COM
pei himself and other citizens to give up part OF
their possessions for the benefit OF the public mainly
for the benefit OF children, to whom he said he
deeply attached. The proposal in particular was
that each and every landowner be required to come
across with what this reforrner designated as the
'unearned increment He had been at pains to
figure out what this in the aggregate would
amount to and put it at something more than
S3o,ooo,ooo.
The proposal was received in jest and yet this
interesting citizen represents, believe, certain
school which has declared from time to time the
doctrine he preached. The disciples Of this school
claim that the landowner is not entitled to any
enhancement in the value of his land which he had
part in creating. That lands increase in value
by the natural development Of the State. That a
man who buys land and holds it may live to see it
doubled or quadrupled in value, without any effort
on his part and, therefore, the increase is not his
but the States and should be confiscated.
1T is interesting deetriHe but like other qucs-
tons there are two sides it. OF course discrim-
ination between land owners could be made and
the State would collect every dollar OF increase,
whether earned unearned But il such plan
were adopted, the bottom would drop out of land
values and there would be no increment to con-
fiscate. a&4
Again if this sort OF confiscation should apply to
land, why not to personal property also, and es-
pecially to stocks in railroad and in industrial
porations' A man may purchase block of stock.
lock it up in his strong box and hold it for ten years
in the meantime, through the enterprise of the man
agement the stock may have doubled in value
without any effort on his part. But if the State
should undertake to confiscate the "unearned
increment" of stocks, the bottom would drop out
of the stock market and there would be nothing to
coniiscate. This story teaches that theory, how
ever beautiful it may be in appearance, is of nc
practical value unless it will work.

II certain measures now pending in the General
Assembly passed. the insanity plea in criminal
proceedings will probably not be so popular as
formerly, certainly not SO efficient and effective
There three OF these companion bills. :"
Senator Lasster is the patron and the billsare
backed by distinguished experts. One of them
provides for a special department in the South
western Hospital at Marion and the Central Hosp-
tai at Petersburg, where insane criminals and the
criminal insane to be subjected and confined
Another bill provides that If any person who is
charged with any crime be found in the court in
which he is SO charged to be insane at the rhine
appointed for trial of such Indictment, the court
shall order him to be committed to the department
for the criminal insane at the proper hospital
where he shall be kept in custody and cared for
until he has been restored to sanity And If prior
the time for trial of any persons under complaint
or Indictment for any crime, either the court or
the attorney for the commonwealth has reason to
believe that such person is in such mental condition
that his confinement in a hospital for the insane is
necessary Tor proper care and observation the court
may commit such person to the department for
the criminal insane under such limitations as it
may order pending the determination of his mental
condition; and in such case the court in its discre
ton, may appoint experts in insanity,
or other qualified physicians, not 10 exceed three,
to examine the defendant before such commitment
is ordered, and make such Investigate of the case
as they may deem necessary, and report to the
court the condition OF the defendant at the time
of their examination
The testimony of "alienists' in court trials has
fallen into rdicule more less; but it is very
difficult for the keenest OF experts to determine
upon short examination, whether not a criminal
who pleads insanity is shamming. 1t would be a
different proposition if such sent to
an asylum and kept under close observation for
thirty or sixty days.
The bill seems to US to be in the direction of a
much needed reform.

Conditions Renewed.

The temperance people of Bristol
have not the same interest in the fate
of the Abingdon dispensary now that
they had for year or two prior to
the late local option election in this
city At that time Bristol anti-saloon-
lists would have been glad to see the
dtspensary abolished, for they felt
that its existence so near this city
would be disastrous to the temper
ance cause here. And they were not
mistaken. Scores of men who are
opposed to the saloon voted wet in
the local option election last July be-
cause the Abingdon dispensary was
doing too much to nullify the prohi-
bition law in Bristol. The local OPP
ton election held In Abingdon lit
tie more than a year ago. and which
resulted in a victory for the dispen-
sary, also presaged a victory for sa-
looms In Bristol
To abolish the dispensary now
would be merely to reverse conditions
that prevailed before saloons were
established in Bristol. Instead Of
and back the suitcase brigade
would travel from Abingdon to Bris-
toll and back-only the brigade would
not be so large. Bristol would do
what she could to render Abingdon's
prohibition law augatory. And Abing-
don money would flow into Bristol.
though not in so copious a stream, nor
would 1t go into the city treasury, but
into the Golfers OF the saloons.--Bris-

Extending the American Name.

International influence may b. exc
tended by fiHansiai and commercial
activities, and sometimes international
lies are anxei4 of them.
Secretary OF State Knox recognizes
this. His diplomacy was seen in the
lodging here of Argentina's order for
the construction of 100000 worth
of warships. He enabled American
bankers to participate with foreign
bankers In financing certain OF china's
railroad enterprises. One of the In
cidents of the seoretary's recent prop-
osttion to have the Manehurian rail-
roads internationalized under Chinese
control would have been the particle

THE more investigations they have
in Congress of Ballingers, beef trusts,
boosters of prices, conservation con-
spiracies, railroad rates and all the
things agitating the public the better
the Congressman will like 1t. for then
nobody will have time to monkey
with the tariff or congressional ex-
travagance or the things that count.
The situation Is parallel to that of
a man sick uno death: everybody is
anxious to know the cause of his ILL
ness; psychologists analyze the wa
tiers of the house: sanitary engineers
examine the plumb bling; this one does
this and that one does that, and by
the time the name and origin of the
sickness are identified the patient is
dead and the undertaken has job.

Ruena Vista PROGRESS.

In our last weeks issue we pub
lished an account Of the improve
ments to two of our local industries
and the opening of another industry,
and we ought to stop and think what
this means to our city. Before they
get through the Columbia Paper Com
pany will spend over fifty thousand
dollars. The Dickinson Fire Brick
Company about $4,000, and in the
operation of the mines Mr.. II. H. Will
liams viii circulate several thousand
dollars each month. This means en-
ployment for more men, both in the
construction and operation of these
plants and these men all spend their
money or a good portion of 1t at
home; and in SO doing help the city.
and when you employ more men they
have to have houses to live in, and
every house you build, be 1t large or
small, helps to increase the size of the
city. and that is what we want. 1t
is to the city's credit that a local
contractor secured the work to he
done at the paper mill. as this will
give a large amount of employment

City Government in Virginia.

n We are gratifed that measures have been intro
sduced In the General Assembly looking TO reform
in the plan OF municipal government in Virginia
joint resolution has been introduced providing Tor
IN change in the constitution by which the ward
system NAV be abolished and each and every city
III Virginia adopt modern business-like plan 1t is
not proposed 10 force any particular form upon any
particular city, but the amendment will allow each
city to determine for itself what form OF govern
ment it will adopt, subject to the approval OF the
General Assembly.
This change is greatly to be desired Our present
form is about inefficient well could be devised
and needs to be radically changed. We believe that
the Texas plan i, the plan best suited to Virginia
cities. Galveston first adopted it as an emergency
measure. bat il proved TO be efficient and eeonom
raIthat itwas continued after the emergency passed
and Houston and other cities took hold of it. A
small body Of men in Houston, four councimen and
duct the citys affairs. They give their entire time
Ito the city's work and paid fair compensation
for their services. This is not the commission plan
\ as 1t is enormously called, but municipal council
pure and simple, reduced to the lowest terms. The
J ward system is abolished and the councilmen are
elected from the city at large.
III is the ward system that is our greatest abomina-
ton and the root OF the evil With the ward lines
abolished and small council elected to represent
fhe whole people the municipal problem is practic-
Sniiy solved. This cannot be in Virginia without

Petersbure's Spires and Aspirations.

We congratulate the city of Petersburg upon its
aspirations. Our neighbor has ever prided itself
upon its conservatism and has confined its skyscrap
ing enterprises to church steeples,-whch for a
pous city, by the way, is most appropriate
the traditions must give place to progress, for
modern high building is soon to be erected by the
Mechanics Association in the business district. 1T
is pioneer movement remarks the Index Appeal,
in the direction of more progressive building
spirit in this city, and feel confident that it will
stimulate emulation and powerfully contribute to
the redemption of Sycamore street, the ctys prnc-
pal business thoroughfare, from the stigma of an
achronism and dilapdation which now so con-
spicuousy mark and mar its business structures. y
The city is in progressive mood, adds our con-
temporary. So is Petersburg has laid its founda-
tons deep-an strong and is in splendid condition
to build up. 1t has been storing up progress for
many years and the time has come, we think, to
turn it loose and let il circulate The skyscraper
is good sign. 1t is an upward movement that
speaks for itself.
