Tax on Merchants.

sAnd SIS for each additional $4,000 of sales
tAnd 500 for each additional $4,000 of sales
The tax levied by the assembly Of ls55-56 re-
manned unchanged until after 1850 when with
the imminence of war the tax on merchants
along with all other taxes was raised to meet
the expenses Of hostile preparations.
II requires but glance to see the wide differ
ence between a graduated tax such the ones
indicated in the table above and the fiat rate OF
$40 for retail merchants and of SIS for whole
sale merchants which prevailed. Tor example
from 1871 to 1S43, has been already been
pointed out Even though the graduated meth
cd was applied to merchants licenses In 1S43, 1t
was limited in extent, rangisg from $40 to 500
but serving undoubtedly as an experience which
formed a basis for its extension after the small
farmers and merchants in the small towns and
hamlets in the western. sections of the state had
secured their ng-fought-for contral of the leg
islature under the terms of the constitution Of
1851.
The other three varieties of license taxes en-
bodied the graduated scale principle. One of
these. already indicated was the levying OF
specific tat rate on dealers in goods and ser
vices as long as the gross receipts did not exceed
a stated amount. On all receipts above this linn
il an additional ad vaIorem tax was levied. Thus
the tax of ordinaries levied by the assembly
of 1S53-S4 Is per cent OF 5000 rental
and additional tax Of 10 per cent. of all
rental over s200. The third peculiar form was
that which a minimum tax was levied until the
business had been in existence for stipulated
length Of time when higher tax became OPP
erative For instance, the tax on dealers in
tobacco: license tax of $40 was charged under
the act of ts63-54 for the first year of business
Thereafter the regular tax for dealers In prod
ucts grown in the United States applied
Liquor dealers, to cite another example, were
taxed by the assembly of 1s59-60 at the fiat
rate of $4osunt after the first year when to this
tax was added ajax of one half of one per cent.
on gross receipts. The fourth form the use
Of the size of the market a basis for the scale
Of the tax Thus bank NOTE brokers. were
charged from $500 to $3.50 annually for IL
cense to operate, In this instance the $500 tax
levied on bank notes brokers in cities less
than 5000 population; in larger cities $3.50 was
charged. Foreign insurance company agencies
were licensed in the manner by the as
sembIy of 1S53-54; by the two succeeding as
sembies the size of the town city was not
considered. Auctoneers' licenses combined
three ideas--amount of sales. time and size of

Suffrage and Divorce

Senator Tillman says: ut appears to me that
the relation between votes for women ana di-
vorce If not one of and effect, Is at least
enc of mutual acceleration."
Senator Tillman is IN some degree excusable
for being under this wrong impression inasmucn
as 1t is an idea that has been sedulously culti-
waited by the opponents of equal rights. But
It is wholly without foundation
Divorce Is increasing all over the country. TO
make out a case against equal suffrage Senator
Tillman would have to+show that 1t Is increasing
faster in the suffrage States than elsewhere. AS
matter of fact the reverse Is true.
Rev. Francis Miner Moody, secretary OF the
California commission working to secure uni
form divorce law throughout the United States,
published in The Woman Voter for February,
1918, a noteworthy article, showing by actual
statistics that every State which has had equal
suffrage for considerable number of years has
declined markedly in its divorce rate as COM
pared with the rest of the country He points
out that in Colorado the drop was so great as
TO be astonishing.
Just before Colorado granted equal suffrage.
in 1891 and 1892 its average number of d.
yorces per year was 937. For the three years
Immediately following the granting of equal
suffrage-lS94. 1895 and 18e6-the average
number of divorces per year was only ST.
The Denver Post has pointed out that during
series of years the ratio of divorce to the popu-
lation increased more than four times as fast in

Thaw affair undertakes to analyze and explain
the conduct and attitude of the Canadians in
regard to Thaw and Jerome
He says the people of the town of Sherbrook,
for instance forgot Thaw's crime in their sym
patty for him as hunted human fugitive, pur-
sued by powerful State and government They
resented the sending Of array OF New York
lawyers and officials as attempt to Brighten
and overawe their local authorities Aside from
this, Thaw's good appearance and pleasant ad'
dress removed thought Of him a murderer or
an escaped lunatc. and there was a certain In
defnable, instructive sentiment Of gratitude to
him as the means Of giving the town such ad-
vertisement as 1T never had known. OF putting 1t
before the world the first time in its history
getting It on the map"-and booming local
trade with a great influx of strangers, lawyers,
newspaper men and others, ready to spend money
freely.
One humor OF the situation described by
the correspondent is that Canadians whose fami-
lies have been in Canada hundreds of years. but
who never have cared TO learn the English Ian
guage. ran shrieking and hurrahing after Thaw s
carriage whooping in French for British fair
play" The feeling against Jerome was so fierce
that he was warned that his life would be in
danger In Sherbrook.
Back of all these reasons there Is certain
mysterious instinct in humanity everywhere in
favor of the criminal 1t has been demon
strated in one way another In every race
and through all history. The most familiar,
prominent awful and solemn occasion was that
when a multitude representing the highest civil
lization then known clamored for the release Of
Barabbas the robher. Never has there been a
prominent and much-talked-of murderer, thief,
incendiary. bigamist, criminal of any kind. who
has not had following. no matter how fright
full his crime or however destitute of palliaton.
The Canadians certainly have done themselves
no credit; but we here In Virginia have no spe
cial right to heave rocks at them, nor have the
people of any other State Of the Union. so far as
we can recall All OF us have been guilty OF
like follies and sins and of evidences of the an
tagonisms against the law and the enforcement

savage ancestry forced under the dominion OF
