The inheritance Tax Problem.

Richmond, Va, Sept. "a
plea for the federal government to
permit individual states to solve the in'
heritance tax problem by RETAINING
from federal legislation on the ques-
ton, featured an address by Governor
Dix, OF New York, before the lnterna,
tional Conference on state and local
taxation here today. He declared this
important source OF revenue should be
left in the hands Of the states but he
did not believe in opposing the govern
ment in its effort to levy on an income
tax.
Governor Dix also strongly con-
demned "retailiatory legislation IN tax
matters" asserting that because one
state imposed unjust tax burdens upon
the citizens OF another state doing bust
ness there, the other state should not
retaliate in kind.

ATTENTION,
LABOR|NG MEN!

Is Carter Glass your friend? He
claims to be, but look ut his record.
In the State Senate he voted against
the Employers Liability Bill; in the
Constitutional Convention he did not
speak, he did not vote, he did not
pair Oh this most important measure.
Before he became candidate for Of
flee and while he was EDITOR and
owner Of newspaper he showed his
enmity to organized labor by the fol-
lowing vicious editorial, written and
published while the bill was pending
in the Legislature to establish the
Bureau OF Labor:
The Lynchburg News, January IA,
1898.
CARTER GLASS OWNER AND
EDITOR.
"A bill to create q Bureau Of Labor
is under consideration in the LeSiS-
lature and will probably be passed.
Its only bcneficiaries will be the men
who will draw the salaries attached
10 it. Virginia laborers will derive no
more benefit from it than Virginia
farmers do from the State Agricul-
tural and Railroad Boards, but it will
increase the expenditures, though ii
was to decrease them that the men,

to-day because OF restrictive legisla-
ton, enacted upon the demand of
high-salaried walking delegates nj
the Gompers type, and the mills of
the South are increasing and flourish
ing because Of freedom from such de-
testabIe interference. As we have
said before, Virginia is the only
Southern State that has any restrict
i've statutes at all, and Is, consequent
ly, the only Southern State that Isl
not increasing in cotton mills. Instead
of repeating the legislation we have,
in order to compete with the mills OF
other Southern States, it is proposed
to enact other mischievous laws. We
sincerely hope and confidently pre-

FROM WASHINGTON

A general order bearing on long and
short haul rates was issued by the In
terstate Commerce Commission today.
In many cases in rates filed by the
railroads February II, 1911, the rate
for long haul is less than the rate to
an intermediate point. The comnIs-
sion has decided that these dlscrlml-
mating rates may stand until an inVes-
tigation has been made by the com
mission. This action does approve
any long haul rate that is lower than
the charge for short haul and in all
such cases these discriminating rates
are subject to complaint and correction.
Many railroads have heretofore been
authorized to maintain a discriminate
ing rate, on pending an investigation
and the general order issued today, IN
the same line, will place all railroads
on the same basis and relieve the COM
mission from acting in individual cases.
