ties: never did people forgive more quickly
and more freely. It took a hundred years for
the Roundheads and the Cavaliers to reach the
point the people OF this country have reached
within fifty years. There could have been no
such reunion as this by veterans of Charles
and Cromwell fifty years after Marston Moor or
Naseby. It was not merely commercial interests
that made Great Britain sympathize with the
Confederacy fifty years after New Orleans.
Memory of that defeat still rankled and the
United States was still hated by the mother

Veterans OF the Confederacy can honor the
bravery of veterans of Grant and Meade and
Sherman without overthrowing their own idols.
Yankees fraternize with Rebel without ae-

toward those who finally triumphed by force of
numbers remains.

Bank F avor Tax Reform

Editor Of The virginian:
Sir-I was away from home part of last
week and missed several issues of The Virginian,
including that of June 20th in which my COM
munication, replying to Mr.. 0. c. Rucker, or
Bedford City. published. was thinking
that perhaps the publication had been delayed
on some account when Mr. Fuckers second let
ter came out June 25th.
1t is certainly interesting to observe the
seriousness with which Mr. Rucker pictures the
ineffcacy OF the present tax law, In that 1t does
not levy what is commonly known license tax
TT will be observed that the writer
has not touched the general tax laws in
to banks" and concludes by saying
that he will discuss this feature In another
communication. Surely he is enthused with a
desire TO see our tax laws equitably adjusted
Let us all hope that some definite and equitable
arrangement and will be made whereby the
banks Will be justly taxed, matter whether
the tax is in the form of license tax other
wise
The writer will have to admit that he has
while so far he has been very fortunate in es-
Gaping toothache. yet he can sympathize with
sufferers from this malady' and can appreciate
what relief means. Getting a check cashed or
note discounted in tight times Is not in 1t

Banks are peculiar institutions. They cannot
properly be compared. or classified. with other
business-not even with other corpora
tions. They, are organized and have stock
holders officers and directors like other cor
porations, 1t Is true but in a certain sense they
government lNStiLutiOHS lHey are super
vised by the government and must measure up
to a standard set by the government at all times.
The purpose Of the government In taking this
hand Is to protect those people who deal with
the banks, and the banks are required to pay the
cost of this protection.
And as banks differ from other businesses. so
It is necessary to tax them in a different man
ner. -
Banks not averse to paying just taxes
they have many times evinced their willing
ness to pay for the support of the government
on an equal footing with other taxpayers If
1t is right that they should pay license tax,
then they willing to pay license tax, pro-
vided, taxes as whole equitably adjusted.
What does II matter with the banks whether
the tax they pay is called a license tax, an in
come tax. excise tax. or what not, just SO
an equitable arrangement is made. whereby the
banks won't have to pay out OF proportion to
other businesses
If Mr. Rucker will refer to regulations No.

as a servant at 900 Allen avenue. was
held up at 1880 o'clock yesterday
