Mr.. Stephenson's Position
The Highland Recorder:

The HlShlanQ hecoiuel.
In last weeks issue of your pa
per. | see IL letter signed A Dem
ocratic Voter" calling upon IN" for
nv position as a candidate on Ger
tain public questions. | have al
ways recognized the right of voters
to call for the opinion of candidates
on important public questions and
therefore submit my answers 10
said questions:
First; | am infavor of the Enab-
ling Act. | voted for it and sup
rorted it in the sessions 1910 ana
1912, and will vote for it again il
re elected. The people have right
to vote upon this important ques-
ton.
Second; l am opposing to leas-
lag our convicts to work in rompe
tition with free-labor. | think all
convicts as far as practicable should
be worked upon the public roads
Third; l am in favor of abolish
ing the Fee system and giving ali
officers fixed salaries. This is q
very important question and in
order to do what is fair and just to
the officers as we'll as to the coun,
ties and state, this matter should
be carefully investigated and full
informati~n OBJ aimed so as to Tx
the salaries at what's fair and eqult-
able.
Fourth; | am in favor of making
proper appropriations to all State
Institutions. This is one OF the
most important and one of the
largest financial subjects with which
the Legislature has to deal. Each
Institution has its own peculiar
wants and demands upon tile
State. I am in favor of strict
economy in these appropriations
a d to require most rigid account
ability for all funds appropriated.
find in my experience in the Leg
islature that these appropriations
to a great extent are controlled by
the finance committees of the House
and Senate, and the individual
member. out side Of the committee,
has little or no chance to correct or
change their figures.
Fifth; The most Important sub
icct which will come before the
Virginia Legislature next Session
will be reform of our Tax-System.
| am in favor of segregation.
| am in favor of giving to the
counties all taxes from lands and
personal property and to the State
such other taxes as they may need
for State purposes. This in my
opinion is the only solution Of the
question of equalizing the tax on
land and property.
The details of this tax system are
now being worked out, | under
stand by our State Auditor, who
think IS competent ana aole u
give us all the information we may
need on the subject.
am opposed to the formation
of Tax Commission, such as was
proposed in the last Legislature.
1t created another expensive de
partment of the state government
without any corresponding benefit.
Respectfully,
John w. Stephenson

Look to Yor r Plumbing.

You know what happens in a house II
Which the plumbing is in poor condition
everybody in the house g liable t.
contract typhoid or some other fever
The digestive organs perform the same
functions in the human body as the
plumbing does for the house, and they
should be kept in first class condition all
the time. Ifyou have any trouble with
your digestion take Chamberlain's Tab

Cement and Sentiment.

A home-builder in California hit up
on a charming idea when he caused
his little son to make the impression
Of his hands in the wet cement of the
walk before his door. Although the
imprint was made in 1887, the out
lines CT the little hands are perfectly
clear, and will remain as dainty SOU
venir of the boys play days. 1t is
Just such touches of sentiment as this,
says the Strand Magazine, that make
the difference between house aud a
home.
