TAX REFORM IN SPECIAL SESSION.

II is a good suggestion that our legislature
have special session TO consider tax reform
and nothing else. Such a course would have
many advantages, among them concrete plans

subject and there can be no trading between

WHERE HUMAN LIFE Is CHEAP.

The Norfolk Nirelnian- Pilot calls attention to
interesting facts with reference to the light
regard in which human life is held IN this coun-
try. IT says that every month the felonious
killings in Chicago exceed by many times the
annual record of the class Of crimes
throughout the British Isles and all the countries
of Continental Europe" Really, this liz a very
astonishing bit of intelligence. We had no idea
that such a remarkable disparity in the murder
records of this country and Europe existed

One county IN Alabama has a record also; the
murders equaing If not exceeding, those in the
