Non-Aetaen Is Not Adverse Action.

/ Several Virginia newspapers, among them the Rich
mond News Leader Journal and the Lynchburg News,
have been arguing the question whether or not the
failure of the branches of the General Assembly

the income tax amendment to the Federal Constitu-
ton is equivalent failure ratify the same the
News Leader is Enthusiastically positive and unyeld-
ing in its contention that the General Assembly re-
tected the amendment and that the matter Is disposed
of finally, far this State is concerned Is nom
action adverse action is the form to which the issue
is reduced.
We inclined agree with the Norfolk Virgin
ianPilot in its contention that legally the matter Is
adjudicata the lawyers would express it,
If that view be correct. then it is within the province
and power Of the General Assembly in January l9l2,
to take the question up again, and, should the two
houses unite in ratifyng it, this action would be en-
tirely legal and and would constitute ratihca-
ton within the meaning of the law. just as though
the Senate had approved and the House disap-
proved the amendment Governor Mann will certify
the to Congress that the General Assembly has
failed ratify the amendment but IL hereafter 1t
should ratfy it, may then notify the Federal gov
that Virginia had approved the proposed

one of the marvels aviation presents
to the ordinary man is how the cx-
perts are able to announce, after an
aviator has become a mere speck in
the sky, that he was up, say S,409 feet
and even may add decimal for sake
of accuracy.
The aviators themselves get accus-
toned to measuring with their eye
and sometimes become very accom-
plished at the trick. Wilbur Wright
and friend We're standing together

meet when Mr. Brookins was in the

How high is he?" was asked of Mr.
Wright.

pupil was not at that moment at his
greatest height.
The next day is was announced
that Mr. Brookins has actually ascend
