Taxation in Legislature.

Discussion of the proposition to provide
tated a lively debate in the senate. The
proposition is that proposed by Senator
Fletcher Of Fauquicr, looking to having
the auditor vested with the right and
power to review the returns made by
commissioners of the revenue, and il the
assessments are not, in his mind, equita-
BILE in any return he is to send the books
and lists back for such correction as he
may deem necessary. In case the correc-
zion is not made the auditor is to have
the right to euualize the taxes by ad-
vancing the figures to meet what he be-
lieves to be right and fair.
Senator Noel of Lee attacked the bill
calling 1t revolutionary and unusual He
denied that the rate of taxation in his
county was lower than in other counties,
anG deprecated the reference to the fact
that his county and some others in the
district were charged with getting more
from the state treasury than the total
taxes they paid. He said the charge
was proven only by the method of keep
ing books. He declared that in the coun-
~ of Rockingham where lands were
more valuable than in Lee, the rate was
less than $40 an acre, yet the state of
Virginia had been compelled to pay just
S30,UU for leo acres on which to build
school for women.
Senator Noel declared that the value of
cattle and horses in his county, as COM
pared with Rockingham, one of the
wealthiest in the state, showed that less
than two and a half cents a head was
the difference in taxes actually paid by
the two counties. on each animal. The
debate Will continue for several days.

Will Amend Constitution.

The house of delegates has passed the
bill which looks to adopting the proposed
amendments to the state constitution
There are several of these, dealing with
the election of commissioners of the rev.
enue and treasurers. Under the law, as
it stands these officers cannot succeed
themselves, while the amendment provides
that they can be elected by the people
and serve as many times as they are
elected.
Another change is that extending the
sessions OF the general assembly to ninety
days, whereas the sessions now last sixty
days If the sessions are extended it
means that the legislators will not get
any additional pay. being paid for the
term instead Of for the actual number
of days at work.
The other proposition is that which looks
to the change of method in enactng bills
Several readings of measures will be dis.
pensed with, and a bill can be passed
IN one-third of the time. The people
still have right to vote on these amend
ments after they have been adopted by
the general assembly, and there will likely
be lively time over them when the next
general assembly is chosen. Considerable
opposition has already developed to max
ing any change in the laws.

LAURIUM
CUTTING DOWN BIG GRADE.
Work on Florida Street, Started Two
Years Ago, is Resumed.

A number of Laurium village en-
ployes are engaged in cutting down
the hill on Florida street, between Sec
ond and Third streets. II is not likely
that the job will be completed this fall
however. as IL is big one.
Several hundred feet Of this grade
was cut away about two years ago.
Large rocks are being encountered and
the work of cutting down the grade Is
difficult one.
For a time, IL will be remembered,
the village employed three expert Cor
nish miners on the job. under the SUI
pervislon Of Capt. Ashton. Holes were
drilled i'm some OF the larger rocks and
blasting resorted To with good effect.
Tho village is doing considerable
work on the old townhall property. Al
ready new cement floors have beer
placed In the stables at the rear Of the
hall, which will improve the sanitary
conditions. The jail quarters are to b.
thoroughly renovated within the mex
few days. A new cement floor is t
be installed and the basement, wher'
the Jail is located. will be given I
through whitewashing. Carpenters ar
engaged i'm repairing the tower AM

NOW Is The Dist Time
TO TRIM YOUR SHADE TREES

It's all right to trim trees now, and
there are any number of trees in CAL
umet that are in need of trimming
Now is the best time, an expert in
tree culture declares, for trimming
trees. He says the sap is down and
bleeding cannot occur. He warns
tree owners against arboreal butcher
ing, however, and insists that the
trimming work should be done right.
Here are his suggestions for doing
the work:
1. Cut branches close to the trunk,
and parallel with it. Do not leave a
stub The sap runs in direct cur
rents, just under the bark, along the
trunk to the leaves and back to the
roots. If leaves are cut off the circu-
lation stops; and as there are no
leaves left on the stub, the sap-fow
stops, and there can be no healing.
2. Cut off no branches larger than
one inch i'm diameter, close TO the
trunk until it has been first severed
farther out-for six inches to one foot
This prevents the peeling down OF the
bark just under the wound, which
even slight branch may cause. Al
ways use a sharp saw and never an
axe.
9. BE sure the wound is clean. B'
sure that all decayed matter is re-
moved. Paint well with ordinary
white lead or coal tar and renew from
time to time until the wound II
healed. Cavities should be cleaned
out carefully, add dead matter bein'
removed and filed with mixture o
Portland cement and sand in the sam
manner that a dentist fills tooth.
4. August and September are pre-
ferred as time for trimming becaus
the tree is in condition to heal IL
wounds most quickly. Next in TN
order of preference come the white
months. Early spring, when the sa
is rising from the roots, is the wors
time.
