That Tax Conference
Again
Respectfully Referred.

There is to be conference in Richmond some
time in July called at the instance o. the bust
ness men for the purpose of discussing and
framing recommendations for the revision of
our tax laws making them more suitable in
many respects. So far are able to learn
no Invitations have been extended or arrange
ments made to have the farmers represented.
conference anyway. However good the inten-
lions may be of these business men, and how
ever fair and equitable they may strive to
hold their actions, in a great degree sus-
tons and associations in Virginia are urged to
be represented and participate in the move. Any
class of business professional men calling a
conference to discuss frame bill for tax
reform laws that will affect all classes with
consulting all classes. do not deserve con-
sideration at the hands of the legislature, and
most especially so when the farmers not
consulted. holding the balance of power they

Agrees.

The Lynchburg News, commenting editorially
In its issue of today on the proposition to have
la conference in Richmond in July tax re-
form. says that 1t would be mistake to limit
tives Of commercial organizations The farmers
of Virginia. says the News, ARE quite much
interested in the revision of the States tax
policy business of the cities"
The News is right, thousand times right,
A plan of taxation devised by any particular
class of citizens would scarcely be worth the
paper which 1t Is written Although those
who drafted 1t might have most conscientious
motives their efforts would be in some partcu-
lar for the conservation of the interests repre-
scented by them If is, of course. highly possible
that they might draft a measure In many ways
calculated to promote the general welfare. but
in respects the instrument framed by
them would be insufficient
II the conference in Richmond is to accom-
plish a good and practicable purpose. 1t should
industrial and professional activity. CONNER
cial men might meet and draft a measure;
farmers might do likewise. and working men
and doctors and lawyers ,mt~. t follow, but II
representatives from them all could get to-
gether discuss conditions and recommend
changes, 1t is highly probable they would reach
right solution. large portion of Virginia's
population Is made up of farmers and another
large portion is made up of labor men. and to
say that these two great elements of our peo-
Pile should have voice in the reformation
Of tax laws. would be equivalent to establishing
rules of ancient days.
If a tax conference be held in Richmond or
anywhere else, we hope that in it's make up
it will be thoroughly representative and that
genuine and equitl reformation may he pro-
posed. To such a conference the legislature
would give earnest heed. while to conference
with attuned to what others might wish to
say.-Roanoke World-News.

WE GIVE UP.

Our good friend E. w Winfrey. of Culpeper,
finally comes TO the point and suggests a better
crime deterrent than capital punishment 1t Is
the production Of right character.
That is true, but while we are continuing the
work Of producing right character. which has
taken centuries to bring TO it's present incom-
plete stage, would Mr. Winfrey abolish capital
punishment because this production of right
character ia the best means? II so. would he
then abolish all other penalties and end the trial
OF all other plans? In other words, would he
dc away with all law and devote all the ener-
gies of society to the attainment Of the ideal,
leaving no provisions for the necessary delay
experienced in putting into practice that ideal?
The Viroimiom has made no Affirmative dictum.
Il does not contend that capital punishment is
the best plan 1t contends merely, that 1t has
been considered the best plan for centuries is
now considered the best plan by the majority
Of the psogls In this State and IL Nj, NiafEeE-
and those who think with him bet.

like Mephibosheth OF old-is lame in both
It's feet
The production OF right character has been
proposed as the one supreme and every way
best preventive and protection. To this, un-
questionably, the State-society-should address
itself first. last and always, with all of its agen-
cies and instrumentalities and resources And
The Virginian will admit that here we have the
one ideal protection against violence. robbery,
injustice" and every form of wrongdoing. This
being admitted, we have agreed in the conclusion
that capital punishment is not the best method
of protection and prevention.
But, of course, The Virginian is emphasizing
and exaltng the idea of punishment narrowing
its thought and endeavoring to confine my
thought, this specific class of preventives. Life
sentences need not be uncertain. They might
be made certainly life imprisonments, and, fur

atty. With this admission before us The Vir.
ointdn feels compelled to give up in despair
Its EFFORTS to secure light on the subject from
Mr.. Wtnfrey. While thoroughly satisfied that
the development Of proper character is the best
plan 1t refuses to assent to the implied pro-
posal to establish the reign of anarchy during
the process OF development 1t believes, but
does not assert, capital punishment is the best
method because the best thought of the world
for centuries has SO believed; because It knows
that In England where 1t Is enforced there is
loss crime than in the South where 1t is not
enforced; because 1t has never seen reliable sta
tstics on the operation of other plans in other
States than Virginia, falling az they do to show
the comparative merits OF two systems in the
same State; because common sense tells us that
the fear of death is greater deterrent than the
fear Of life imprisonment

recant. but until that is done we refuse to lend
our efforts to the trial of an experiment, which
