at Strom's mountain where all the
company-were men, and the one of
Monday afternoon where all the
guests were ladies and he expressed
himself of course as being more
highly pleased with meeting
of all ladies than with a meeting
all of men. His talk was very in
structive, sprinkled with mild hu-
NOR. After the program ice cream
and cake was served, having been
provided for the children by the
members of the union: Iced tea and
sandwiches we're also a part of the
refreshment. There were about fifty
present. The children played games

Missionary Tours of the World.

Missionary louFs OF tne WolI0.
The members of the Edgefeld
Woman's Mission Society have con-
templated the arrangement Of an
imaginary tour of the mission fields
in which our Southern Baptist con-
vention is doing work. Work has
already been done on the tours,
and several homes in Edge6eld will
be made veritable countries in min
iature. These towns will cost the
society something and will be ex-
tremely educational and valuable,
and will be worth the small cost of
the tour. Think of going to China,
Africa Japan, Mexico, Italy, be-
sides making a tour of America for
one dollar, besides the delightful
automobile. drives and pleasant
companionships and good things to
eat at each country, charteristic of
the food served among those peo-
pie.
The following are the committees
appointed, and in a few days, with
their usual zeal, the town will be
full of preparation for the tours:

TOR GOOD ROADS.

For place in the budget for the coming fiscal
year the finance committee of the city council
xiii have called IN its attention the need for an
appropriation of s26, 900 for the improvement of
ten miles of the road between Richmond and
Washington and forming a part of the proposed
Richmond. Washington highway.
A letter from H. w Anderson, president Of the
Richmond Washington Highway association, di-
rected to the finance committee, and making
strong plea for the appropriation lis published In
The Tirginian Of yesterday morning. The Fir-
gtn3aa does not care to attempt to add anything
TO the reasons contained In that letter in sup
port Of the request. OF the advantages to Rich
mond of such highway. of the citys duty to do
its part, and of what others have already done
Mr. Anderson. tells as clearly and as forcefully
Az IT Is possible for plain, selfeVident facts and
past history to be told. What the counties
through which the highway Will pass have done
Mr.. Anderson tells in detail What Richmond
viii gain he gives in the form of fact and theory,
the one already known to those who wish TO
know, and the other so obviously true as TO need
little explanation. In other words all know
that this highway should be built: all know that
citizens OF Richmond have done their part; all
know that the counties along the route have
done much. Richmond city has done nothing.
Twenty-Five thousand dollars is not large
sum to pay for miles of good roads and the con-
struction of ten miles of improved highway
means filling out the hundred. The other ninety
might be constructed and kept In perfect con-
diton, but If the ten miles at this end are not
improved much OF the advantage of the other
10 lost Ii would be an exaggeration to say that
a highway il no better than it's worst mile, but
certainly ten miles OF bad roads win so Ear to-
ward negativing the good of the rest OF the
course.
Men of affairs In Richmond favor the appro-
priation They know that there areg other de-
mands, but they believe that this $4,000 can
be spared for such an important purpose as good
roads between Richmond and Washington.
Knowing what sums must be spent, they still be-
neye that the city can afford this appropriation.
request backed by such men and SO many tax
payers of the city merits and should receive care
full consideration at the hands or the finance
committee.

THE DIFFERENCE,
committee

We seriously doubt II Virginia will ever abol-
fsh the State income tax. If 1t does, the revenue
must be raised from some other source.
This from the Newport News Tinses-Herala, an
gwering the objection to the federal income tax
law that the abolition of the State income tax
law is the only way to prevent double taxation.
The Times-Heraid points out that in spite OF
the dearly beloved theory as to the obnoxious
ness of double taxation it exists today in many
forms, and probably viii exist as long as there
In any such thing as taxation. saying:
But there is already double taxation in Vir-
ginia, in several forms. and in Newport News
we have State income and a city income
tax. What In that but double taxation? And
when a man pays-taxes on his house and lot and
then pays another tax on the income he derives
from it, is not that double taxation?
The Tintes.Hcrald might have gone further and
said that the federal income tax viii not impose
double taxation those States having an in
ecrne tax law to any greater degree than 1t al
ready existed The people of Virginia have al
ways heen taxed by the federal government as
Well ais by the State The difference is that di.
rect taxation takes the place Of indirect taxa
ton, and that while the double taxation was not
rs evident as 1T viii be. it was just as heavy.
THE tariff is tax income, and on nothing
else but it was paid indirectly the merchant
acting as tax collector. Now it will be paid
directly. government agent acting as collec-
tor Another difference will be that the govern
ment and not few manufacturers and pro-
dueers viii get the income tax.

All the resolutions Iii the world and all the
fiery rhetoric that the most perfervid orator
can command will not resultsin the abolition of
the parcel post. 1t has come to stay
So evident is 1t that the new mail service
measure is for the best interests Of the vast ma
jortty Of the people that few congressman
would dare to vote for Its abolition even If
they felt so inclined. That 1t benefits few
may be made and proven and complaints that it
Injuries still other few may possess merit but
nothing can brush aside the fact that it benefits
practically everybody In the. country and the
poor consumer Is not likely to tolerate any
attempt to take from him the crumbs which
have come to him for once from the table Of
special privilege He has for SO long seen the
few benefited at the expense OF the many that
he ia not likely to become wildly excited over
charges that the many are benefited at the ex-
pense of the few. But that such LIS the case is
by means evident and resolutions to that effect
will have little weight.
1t is barely possible that for short while
some few people viii suffer from the operation
of the parcel post, but such has been the history
of ali reforms 1t will take time for q readjust-
ment, but In years to come wonder viii be ex-

objection to the Inauguration of system so

ingiy sufficient to kill any reform measure The
sage brush paradise as to continue as the haven

Reno Is relatively insignificant, but things

Whatever it is is due to the divorce industry The
reform measure under Legislative consideration
would kill the chief industry of Reno. Is it any
wonder that the legislators rise up IN might and

legislators from the sugar States do when the

benefit of the nation at large; just what the
representatives of any special interest anywhere
do to make themselves solid with the people
who sent them.
Instead of beginning at the little end. and
trying to reform Nevada, the best chance for
results may after all. be in laboring at the
big end, and striving laboriously by the educa-
