Vic Murdoch opposes the Underwood bin and
favors tariff commission, although his platform
declares that fair dealing toward the people

Hiram Johnson, of California however, goes
just as far In his population of that Chicago

THE extreme insistence on State rights by

With the State Press
High Taxes Driving Money Away.

The tax laws of Virginia not only unjust
but they actually rob the people. Instead of our
State being a kind mother, she is a monster OF
Injustice. We clearly showed this In our last
issue. The papers throughout the State are de-
handing relief at the hands Of the next legisla-
ture. Money is leaving the State in large
sums because IL is heavily taxed that not
much over 1 per cent interest can be realized
Taxation almost amounts to contfscation Of prop
erty. We truly hope that the delegate from
Orange will vaiiantly fight to reform our odtous
tax laws so that capital will come into Virginia
where such splendid opportunities await it
