devote It's entire annual meeting to
this subject. This is taken as an in
dication of the intencs public interest
in the matter Of needed legislation.
MI Byrd has been selected as the
prihcipai speaker not only because of
his experience as Spea ker of the House
for tho last three terms. which posi-
ton he now holds, but also because
he had more intimate knowledge OF
the subject as n member OF tho State
Tax Commission created by the LcRis-
lature OF 1910, which reported without
effect one year ago. Its expert recon-
mcndations were disregarded by the
Legislature. lie will spend much time

portance that it will comprise the tax
situation as il is in Virginia to-day
with the needs for reformation. He
is fully alive both To the honor done
him aud the splendid opportunity thus
afforded him.
