NAP the COURSE OF TAN nEron,1

Repeated reading or the chart en-
abies the political diaenosticians to de-
clare with the finality Of fact that Viz
ginias system of taxation is the most
grievous Ill OF the body polite. The
plague Shall he driven out. That being
80, the consultation of those who seek
to destroy the very root of this source
of falsehood. fraud injustice and in
equality should bring together 4 vast
assemhlage of the suffering and the
stricken. The result OF such confer
cnce should be n definite plan of cam
paipn against the abomination
Upon TWO conditions depends the sue
cess of the state Tax Conference TO he
held in Richmond in July. First, it
must be attended by very great mum
Der OF representatives. of every interest
IN the Commonwealth, commercial and
agricultural, rural and urban; second.
the conference must unite upon some
one plan for tax reform.
The Richmond Chamber of Commerce
has determined to call n conference of
business men. representing the COM
cities and towns of Virginia The farm
ers, whose interest In and demand for
tax reform is just AS intense and Just
as extensive as that OF the business
men. should be equally well represented
in the consultation The farmers or
ganizatons, large and small, should
be asked TO send delegates TO the meet
ing. 1t is in the country and not in
the city that the bulk of the opposition
to tax reform is to he found No de-
Ercc OF tax revision can be secured
unless the cities and counties co-ope-
rate. The merchant and the farmer
must fight shoulder TO shoulder for
the establishment of a square deal for
one another in taxation. Double in
fluence and double Importance will be
attached 10 the recommendation of the
Richmond conference IL its conclusions
represent the Joint opinion of the bust
ness men and the farmers
The second need Is for general agree
ment upon some one plan for tax re-
form. The danger that lies i'm dis
agreement is we'll stated by the Lynch
burg News: IT the members of the
conference cannot unite with snbstan-

asked for the loan of dollar.
"What do you want dollar for,
Aunt Sallie?' came the inquiry.

"'But if your man hasn't even a

how will the pair of you get along?'
"Well, ma'am,' said Aunt Sallie,
