boy, charged with theft, received a
sentence at the hands of Judge Allen
which is said to be unique in this
State. He was not the sort of boy
to be sent to the reformatory, as he
is incorrigible, it seems, and besides
the reformatory is full, SO his sen
tence was to the County Home fol
one year, and then if his conduct ha:
been good he will go on probation
and report to the courts for five
years, the purpose being to keep hin
in the line of good conduct.

TAXING THE S9ATD7M OIL
co. CD

Speaker Byrd's proposition to tax
thsr Standard Oil products is this
State was defeated, and in our judg-
ment properly so.
If the Standard Oil Company could
really be made to pay the proposed
tax, so well and good; but in opera
ton the law would be only an indi-
rect means Of taxing the consumers
OF OIL There is practically no COM
petition in the coal oil business or in
the manufacture of its biproducts.
Mr.. Rockefeller attended to this
little matter of competition years
ago when he was in active business,
and the power that could lower the
price of oil in any community where
opposition reared its head, until such
opposition was strangled, can and
viii with greater ease make the con.
sumer pay any such tax as Speaker
Byrd proposes to assess its product
within Virginia.
In view of the fact that the peopl,
of Virginia are paying about a.
much tax now as they conveniently
can, the measure met a merited de
feat.

SENATE REJECTS CHARGES AGAINST
STATE BOARD OF HEALTH

Without even a vote, the charges
preferred by Senator Noel against
State Health Commissioner Williams
were dismissed by the Senate Friday.
When the clause making the $40, 600 ap-
preparation to the Catawba Sanatorium
was read there was no dissenting voice
against its approval.
What had promised to be sensational
allegations of incorporation of pub
lie money dwindled down into a charge
of an "egregious blunder." 1t was
charged that the papers upon which
Senator Noel based his indictment were
distracted from the public records OF
the Health Department, after he had
admitted that his informant was w. B.
Watkins, a former stenographer. In
justice TO himself, Senator Noel said he
had no knowledge of that fact. but had
been told that the papers he had cor
suited were copies.
Senator Noel said he had not charged
any dishonesty, merely mismanage-
ment.
