Sir-1 see there Is talk of an extra

ent session has done as little good and
frittercd away more money than any
we have had in the history OF the
state. They accepted without question
the statement OF Mr.. Byrd that Rich
mond paid more taxes than all tho
balance OF the State. wlich is not
true by some $4,000 900 They get
more pay than the Lcgisla lures of any
State in the Union. except those or

foes are increased until court expenses

of judges and officers. than In almost
any State in the Union. This condition
taxed upon everything excent his

are Increased and increased. Values OF
lands are increased when many farms
do not pay their taxes from the prof
Its of the farm. 1t would be better
to tax the people by commission than
by such legislation as we have with
it's present membership. The judicial
and educational branches OF the gov.
ernm ant should be eliminated from
party politics. These officers should be
selected for fitness and qualification

tho rights of the people as whole to

These are but Il few of tho culogistic
encomiums lavished upon Mr.. Taft by
Mr.. Roosevelt before Mr.. Taft became
President. The question naturally
comes up. "1n what respect has Mr..
Taft changed since he became Prcsi-
dent? Has hc lcssened in his fearless
ness, his honesty, his fidelity? Is he
loss disinterested, is he less upright, is
he less patriotic than he was when Mr..
Roosevelt singled him out as the one
man in the Union pre-emiilcntly fitted
for the presidency?
On Mr.. Roosevelt's recommendation,
Mr.. Taft became. his succt ssor. The
public record of MIR. Taft shows no
marked deterioration in Mr.. Taft's
character in the last four years He
seems unchanged in any respect of per-
sonal quality. The World comments
that "Mr. Roosevelt must have infor-
nation of Il very serious change in Mr.
Taft else he would not he against the
denomination and reelection of the
man he praised so highly four years
ago. But strangely enough Mr.
Roosevelt has never enumerated the
Tart onenses or explained why he had
lost confidence in the President"
IT is for Mr.. Roosevelt, who recon-
mcndcd MIR. Taft, to say why Mr.. Taft
no longer deserves the support of the
people of the nation. The Indictment
against Mr.. Taft should not be kept
secret it must be made public. What
has Mir Taft done?

PREVENT nIvnu rolr.ur,oS.

The bill, TO prevent pollution OF
water i'll the Virginia rivers now
pending in The General Assembly
should be enacted The chief respon-
sihIlitS III urging and pressing this
matter dcvolves upon the Richmond
delegation because this city depends
uron the James River for its drink
ing water. All the riparian dwcllcrs
in the state are also Interested in
the passage of this measure,
/ James River water in it's unfltcrcd
trtntc is wholly unti, for potable pur-
poses. II costs the city many thou
sands OF dollars each year 10 purify
this water SO that it may he tit TO
drink. for many poisonous substances
are thrown into the stream by pulp
mills and other factories. At rea-
sonable cost, the manufacturing Of
tenders could use such processes at
'their plants rs would prevent pollution
Of the river
4 The public health is directly in
iTolvcd in this question. Impure water
cndangers lives and Is often respon-
sible for dreaded cpidemics. This
aspect of the question is obvious.
Another reason for the prevention
of pollution is the fact that polluted
water is fatal TO fish life. Ecls and
catfish are the only creatures that can
Htand the water. This dcprlves the
people of source Of food supply and
of popular sport. All people along
the rivers suffer in this way.
Tho owners OF mills can find other
ways to dispose OF their poisonous
waste. They have no right to in
jure the community in carrying on
the!f industries. In the last analysis,
tho matter revolves itself into the
pecuniary interest OF few against
the good health and financial inter-
ests OF tho many.
The Lynchburg News has to say in
this connections:
while Richmond is more vitality
concerned in this matter than other
parts Of the Commonwealth the Rich
n"nd delegates should TAKE the lead
in procuring The needed legislation
but they ought 10 be backed UP by
