NEWS OF THE OLD DOMINION.
GOV. Mann PERPLEXTED
Doesn't Know Whether He Can Dis
approve Constitutional Amend
ment-- Several Bills Pending.

Richmond, Feb. l7-Oneof the most
perplexing questions which has so far
arisen in connection with the present
session of the general assembly is as
to the power Of the governor of the
state to place his veto upon any meas
ure providing a constitutional amend
merit.
1t is the opinion of speaker Byrd
and several others that his excellency
cannot veto an amendment to the con-
stitution of the state.
Governor Mann has been confront
ed with the question for several days
in considering the bill allowing treas
urers to succeed themselves, and he
has arrived at no defnate conclus-
ion.
Already half dozen measures i'm
plying constitutional amendments
have been considered in the legisla-
ture. some of which are now in COM
mittee, and some of which may reach
the governor for his signature.
Among these are bills providing the
initiative, referendum and recall and
the resolution evesting the appointing
in the hands of the legislature.
1t is said about the capitol that his
excellency would rather incline to We
to the measure providing for the sue
cession of treasurers by themselves
in Office if he were sure that he pos
sessed this power. The uncertainty
of his excellency on this point has not
been relieved by the advice Of such
men as he has summoned to his Of
flee, majority of whom entertain
the opinion that the governor IS not
possessed of such prerogative.

CITIES WILL Be LOSERS.
Senate Reduces Revenue to be Re-
ceived From Tax on Roll
ing Stock.

Richmond, Feb. II. by vote OF
81 to 8 the senate late yesterday after
noon threw out the house rolling stock
bill, dividing railroad taxes between
cities and counties, on a 40 per cent
and so per cent basis, and passed a
substitute giving cities only % per
cent.
Two of the most important meas
ures scheduled came up for discussion
on the floor Of the senateyesterday.
They were the rolling stock bill and
the woman's college bill.
It was also announced by speaker
Byrd today that the tax reform bill
will come up for sSgument and vote
in the house next Thursday.
The rolling stock measure was
brought out yesterday with new am
endment, curbing city treasurers
still further by allowing them only 25
per cent of the railroad taxes, and
giving the remaining rs per cent to
the counties, according to their miles
of trackage. The amendment offer
ed by Senator Holt, was made the
subject of red hot fight yesterday.
Senator Hart of Roanoke lead the at
tack. Richmond, Norfolk and Peters,
burg will be the chief losers by the
bill, while Alexandria will lose over
$4,000 annually. Its passage Will
cost Richmond more thanS10O,OOO an
nually. Norfolk and Petersburg will
lose about $4,000 yearly each.
Cities Seem Beaten.
The county representatives were de-
nounced on the floor today, but the
city representatives fought hopelessly
Before the session convened they de-
clared they had no hope Of winning.
Early yesterday an effort was
made to stop opposition with the
threat that the cities might be fur
Their disciplined by cutting their al
lowance to twenty per cent or even
less. The threat however, was later
withdrawn.
There was also some talk before
the session convened, Of starting a
filbuster on the measure, but this
plan, too, was abandoned, for fear OF
antagonizing the county representa-
tives too far. Summed up, each side
seemed little afraid of the ether. :
Woman's College Bill Strong.
With four senators having announ-
ced their intention of speaking on the
bill, there was every prospect that
the woman's college bill on the calen-
dar as special business, would not be
voted on today. The measure would
establish a woman's college at Char
lottesville co-ordinately with the Uni
versity of Virginia. Bitter attacks
will be made on the bill, but again the
fight is practically hopeless.
Senator Rison announced that 26
senator's had informed him of their
intention Of voting for the bill.

harm done in putting glasses on the
growing boy or girl who does not abb
solutely need them. On the other hand
it is serious mistake for parents to
let this matter go unheeded when the
need Of glasses is actually indicated,
The mission of proper glasses is to
correct the errors of the eye, and the
time TO do this, so as to affect perma-
nent relief, is while the child is grow
ing. There can then be some hope Of
later, disCarding them. But when eye
strain is allowed to go on developing
without an attempt to check it finally
resorted to as an absolute necessity
there is not one chance in a hundred
that the wearer will ever be able to do
without them.
When the children are studying their
lessons tonight, watch them If the
boy or girl is trying to put the gram
r. ar" into his head by putting his head
into the grammar, he is doing his best
to make himself near-sighted for the
rest of his life and is very likely to
succeed.
