or,tIc,ze- speaker BYRD. Tax speech.

To the Editor of The Times . ispatch:
Sir.--The Richmond Times Dispatch
of Tuesday, January IS, 1912, editorial
iy says. under caption of ~ Word 10
the Richmond Delegation" as follows:
"In his address on tho occasion OF the
assembling of the Legislature. Speaker
r.. Z. Byrd declared that Richmond
was paying $4,000 moro OF net rove
nue to the State of Virginia than all
the counties combined. This astound-
Ing fact has been received with n
calmness that is only explicable on
the theory that Richmond has been
unfairly taxed so long that her people
have lost the power OF complaint"
Tho oredence apparently given to so
astounding u statement by The Times
Dispatch can only be explained by a
shrewd guess that tho editor. through
rare courtesy, disliked to put the dis
tinguishcd speaker in hole, but de-
sired somebody else to do 80, as ref
crencc to your statistical editor would
certainly have corrected 50 egreErious Il
blunder I now point out the exact
facts. so that Richmond. the pride OF
the South" may rest her laurels on
some other distinction than superiority
as a taxpayer.
For reference see Table 80, Auditors
report, 1911, of taxes 1909:

Totals. SS,s22.S29.2i.
II the statistical facts bearing upon
the Tax Commission bill, az proposed
by Mr.. BYRD, are of the same verify. 1T
may we'll be questioned. There Is en-
tircly too much gambling with sta
tistics for conclusions assumed to have
been obtained by their aid to be ac-
copied as basis for vital change In
the manner by which the Common
wealth collects her revenue.
l am unable to follow you In your
advocacy OF he Tax Commission bill,
and am somewhat confirmed in my po-
sition by the statistical blunder which
seems to have Furnished the crguman-
tum ad ignorantiam for your thesis.
Nor do see why Richmond is entitled
to advantages over the other sections
OF the State, as your editorial seems
TO point out that there arc peculiar
advantages to be gained by Richmond

What the Auditorium is Showing the Last Half of the Week.

Crowded houses are the rule this week at the Auditorium and the vaude- vile and special feature films offered have proven to be big attractions. To- day is the last chance to see Saved from the Titanic" with the famous Dorothy Gibson in the leading role. The Eclair company has depicted the scenes exactly as told by Miss Glb- son, and has eliminated anything that savers of the morbid. Miss Gibson and her mother are survivors of this disas- ter. The vaudeville attractions are all of the highest class, and the Auditor ium Is the only house showing more than one act within a radius of 25 miles. Toledo and Price, sensational contortionists and equilib-ists, have an act that is the limit of human achieve meut in this line. and their feats are presented in a graceful style that will be appreciated.
 No 10 of the Animated Weekly, which is exactly seven days old, IS on today's programme, and this famous film brings before your eyes the ac- tual happenings. the world over, that have taken place in the last few weeks. The New York suflragette parade. 15,- GOO women in line. with the famous BIC hats IS shown. also the first hydroplane Co ly over the Hudson river. and many other new scenes of world famous happenings.
 A special two-reel feature is coming next Monday (and every Monday) which is entitled The Cry of the Chil- dren. an adaptation of Elizabeth Bar ret Browning's famous poem of that name. Every student of sociology and every mill wd-ker should see this film study of the child labor problem. A Thanhouser film, with Marine E1ine, "the Thanhouser kid" in the leading uart
