Special Correspondence OF The Star
RICHMOND. July 10. 1913
Judge Samuel w. Williams OF Wythe,
candidate for attorney general. has made
q reply to letter addressed to him and
signed by F. L. Campbell OF Amherst
q defeated candidate for superintendent
OF schools for that county. Mr.. Campbell
charged that Judge Williams had prom
Used to vote for some one else than
HIMSELF a month prior to the meeting,
and that he had said to friend of Mr..
Campbell when discussing certain matters
affecting one OF the candidates.: why
didn't you boys let me know that a
month ago? Mr.. Campbell also asks II
1t is true that Judge Williams has under
taken to inoculate the school system with
political virus by voting for those who
were supporting him.
Judge Williams makes It plain that he
resents the intimations sought to be
created by the tenor of Mr.. Campbell
letter, and he declares that In making his
reply he is forced to do a very disagree
able thing. He declares that 1t Is fact
that Mr.. Campbell. while a most excel
lent gentleman and capable school super
intendent. has been unable to visit the
schools as required by law; that he is

he to visit the schools there would be the
danger Of spreading the contagion, and
that his sole desire was to safeguard the
schools Of the state and as far as pos
sible prevent any spread Of any con-
tagion among the pupils.
It is also a fact that in one Of the
southwest counties Of the state there
was candidate for superintendent who
happened to be chairman OF the demo
cratic party for his county. This man
made a big bid for the position. and yet
the board saw fit to retain the services
Of a capable man who had been in office
for some years. This man-defeated by
the board. and who did not get vote
is now engaged in making war on Judge
Williams. leaving the blame forshis defeat
solely on Williams.
So far these are the only instances of
that have been heard as
a result Of the recent selections by the
board. In several quarters there is a
pronounced hostility to Judge Williams.
who seems to be the target for all the
attacks of the people who are not in
accord with the machine. The anti-ma-
chine folks are said to be determined
to get the scalp Of Judge Williams IL 1t
is possible.

Druggists for Prohibition.

The Virginia Pharmacal Society has
taken a decided and positive stand for
prohibition in this state. The meeting
was held at Old Point and the subject
was discussed at great length. The So
ciety declared that it would welcome the
most rigid of laws in case the state
should declare for prohibition, resenting
the imputation that drug stores would
spring up at every point. The druggists
declared that they would not ask the
legislature for the least modification of
the existing stringent laws regarding the
sale of medicines which contain alcohol
In any form, and they would not oppose
the prohibition of sales of patent medi-
cines and other preparations containing
alcohol Sundays. The society was en-
phatic in it's population Of the popular
idea that drug stores are made to spring
up at every point when q state goes dry,
holding that such a thing is preposterous
and reflection on the good name and
reputation of the druggists of the state.
Automobile owners in some parts of
the state are clamoring for comfy be-
tween the states on the matter of au-
tomobile licenses, saying that netghbor-
ing states should recognize the licenses
of one state when the owners are send
ing their cars across the lines. The prop
osition is one that would cut the state
treasury deeply. This year Virginia has
SO far collected about $4,000 for licenses
of power vehicles. 1t also Is declared
that the District of Columbia has SO far
yielded about $4,000 since the license tax
was first imposed In that District. There
is another difference. In Virginia the
licenses are paid each year, while in the
District of Columbia the license is is
sued for the life Of the machine. Once
an owner gets license he can use
it so long as the machine may last and
not have to pay another cent. 1t is be-
lieved that a great many owners of ma
chimes now licensed in this state would
take out licenses in the District of CO.
lumbia and operate in Virginia during
the life of the machine and be rid for
ever of paying the tax that would, under
the present laws, find it's way into the
road fund of the state, which fund is
expended for keeping in repair the roads
used by the automobiliSts.

Favors Tax Segregation.

Auditor c. Lee Moore has prepared and
published at great length a plan for Sc
gregation Of taxes between the state and
the counties and cities. He has been at
work on the scheme for some months.
and 1t has attracted considerable atten-
ton. Mr.. Moore declares that it is pos
sible for the tax rate to be considerably
lowered In each county and city. and his
estimate provides for the contingency Of
that revenue. Incidentally, the plan pro-
vides for an increase in the assessment
OF values to within three-fourths of ac-
tual values-practically about double the
present assessment. The rate of taxa
ton. however. is SO fixed that the people
would pay less than at present. Under
Mr. Moore's plan it may be possible for
incomes to escape taxation entirely, the
revenues being ample to provide for all
needs of the state.
The plan provides that the state shall
tax all common carriers of any and all
descriptions, tax on state bank and all
bank deposits. The state is to pay inter-
est on the public debt, pensions, schools
and salaries Of officers of the state.
The cities and counties are to have all
the revenues coming from taxation on
lands, real estate, building lots, mineral
lands and minerals. and all revenues
banks and private bankers. The coun-
ties are to pay all county expenses of
every sort. Under the scope of the plan
the rate Of taxation is to be fixed by each
county and city, and the collection of the
taxes is to be placed in the hands of the
local officers. Provision is made for an
emergency fund of $4,000 by the state.
Should the scheme meet the favor of
the legislators there would be an end to
the drain on the state treasury by sew
enty-one counties, some of which have
already protested and Viewed with
alarm" the tendency to segregate the
of itself. Former Gov. Tyler is one of
those who declares that the proposed

TWO BIG MEASURES
FAIL TO PASS
INDIAN APPROPRIATION AND
CIVIL sUNDRY BILLS LEFT TO
NEW CONGRESS,

washington, March 1.-Two of the
great annual appropriation bills neces-
sary to the maintenance of the fed
when the iSiXty-second congress
wound up it's affairs.
Senator Fall of New Mexico, holding
the floor through the closing hours of
the session, talked the Indian appro-
priation bin to death with it's $12, OOO,-
600 for the support of the Indian serv-
ice, while President Taft wrote his
veto on the $115, 900, 600 bill to take
care of the "sundry civil expenses" of
the government.
The house repasSed the sundry civil
bill over the veto, out when it reached
the senate, Senate Poindexter OBJ
Jected to any appropriation for the
Washington police force unless an in
Vestigation had been made for the riot
Gus scenes attending the suffrage pa
rade Monday, and the senate did not
| vote on the bill.
Mr.. Taft vetoed the sundry civil bill
because of its provision excepting
labor unions and farmers organiza-
tons from prosecution under the anti
trust law. Most of the appropriations
would not take effect until July !,
however, and the new congress can
prepare appropriation measures by
then.
The provision to which MI. Taft OBJ
jccted provided that no funds could be
spent in the prosecution of organiZa-
tons or individuals for "entering into
any combination of agreement having
in view the increasing of wages,
shortening of hours, or lettering the
condition of labor" or for the prosecu-
ton Of producers of farm products
and associations of farmers who CO.
operate and organize to obtain and
maintain a fair and reasonable price
for their products"
This, he declared, was class legis-
lation of the most vicious Sort and
undoubtedly would be held %unconsti-
tutional by the courts.
Referring to the farmers clause,
Mr.. Taft said:
AT a time when there is wide
spread complaint of the high cost of
living it certainly would be an
anomoly to put on the statute books of
the United States an act in effect pre-
venting the prosecution of contbina-
tions of producers of farm products
for the purpose of controlling prices"
The special session of the senate
which Vice President Marshall called
to order today Immediately after the
SiXty-second congress adjourned, will
assemble again at noon tomorrow to
receive and act upon President Will
sens cabinet appointments.

BY Frederic j. Haskin.

While cooperation exists in its most
complete and highly organized form in
Great Britain, there are other coun-
tries in Europe where it is extensive
it's application. In all Europe there
are upward of 5000, 900 members of CO.
operative retail societies. approx
mately half OF whom are found in
Great Britain. The goods they sell
annually are valued at retail at some
, $500, OOO, 900.
Germany is second only to Great
Britain in the extent of it's co-opera-
tive societies and in the amount Of
business they do. In addition to the
regular cooperative societies for the
manufacture and purveyance Of COM
modities used by their members, there
is another larger class of cooperative
organizations known as credit unions.
If they were counted in, Germany
! would lead the world in cooperative
activities. These credit unions are
largely mutual loan organizations.
Cooperation in Germany today
largely has become an activity Of the
social democrats, who support it with
much ardor. The genera distributive
societies are organized into a central
league of consumers union. The total
membership Of these unions is up
wards of a million, and their annual
sales amount to more than $4,000, 900.
A majority of them hold stock in the
Wholesale Purchasing Association Of
Hamburg, which owns it's own fac
tories for making flour, sugar, soap,
matches and tobacco. and which does
a business of $12. 600, 900 a year.
The consumvereine and affiliated re-
tail societies largely are made up Of
members who are social. democrats, al
though in many cases the member
ship of a given society is made up al
most exclusively of labor union or
factory men. The employees of a sin
gle factory frequently form themselves
into a local society. sometimes buying
with the help of their employers and
sometimes without such help. Some
big plants maintain commissaries for
their employees which are run at cost,
n surplus at the end of the year
being turned back to the patrons, each
getting a dividend in proportion to his
total purchases. The big Krupp steel
works follows this policy, and annual
ly returns from s to 10 cents on the
dollar. Some factories conduct these
stores on a credit basis with their
employees and sell at cost.
In Germany the person who does not
have the ready money to buy a share
In a cooperative society may get il
simply by patronizing one of Its
stores, At he end of six months or
a year the dividends to which his pur-
chases entitle him will usually more
than suffice to buy the share he de-
sires. In some states the law pro-
hibits the selling of cooperative good,

their own hands and administered
punishment to the coarse Doors whose
insults should have called for a beat
Ing from whatever men heard them.
The aftronts which We're offered to
the marching ome will be grabbed
as an argument by those who are OPP
posed to woman suffrage; this sort
of thing is what they have predicted
should woman take part in public at
fairs. But the argument is not strong
When directed against the suffragists.

congresses are held annually in various
parts of Europe to discuss ways and
means of improving and extending CO.
operative work. In Germany the
municipal labor bureau at Berlin has
laid out a course of instruction in
which the classes occupy Is evenings,
meeting three times a week. On each
evening there is a two-hour lecture
upon some phase of cooperation, fol-
lowed by a h%alf-hour's practical in
struction. Only members of co-opera-
tive societies are admitted. The fee
for the course is 1925. Russia has a
similar course Of lectures. In SWitzer-
land a course of Instruction is pro-
| vided for cooperative store managers.
At the University of Halle a semi
nary has been established for those
who wish to learn the business of CO.
operation. 1t holds examinations,
awards diplomas, and trains the. CO.
operators for the business ahead of
them. The Swedish Cooperative
union has agreed to bear the expense
of a series of five lectures in each of
the so national high schools Of Sweden,
the purpose being to enlist the inter-
est of h young people in the CO.
operative movement.
On the whole the indications are
that the cooperative movement Will
spread even more rapidly in Europe
in the next two decades than in the
past 20 years. In almost every coun-
try 1t has encountered the same oppo-
sition that it encounters in the United
States-the unWillingness of the nom
cooperative wholesaler and manu-
f~acturer to recognize it, the disposition
In some quarters to refuse it credit,
n the determination of retailers to
suppress it. But in the face of all
obstacles the movement has gone for
ward rapidly, the few small, weak and
scattered societies of yesterday have
grown into powerful federated associ-
atoms whose credit is second only to
that OF the government under which
they exist, and which can command
unlimited funds for deposit and in
vestment. But with all their xpan-
sion no n has noticed that it has in
flicted n serious hardship upon the
private retailer. OF course, many of
them have been forced to go into other
businesses. but it has simply meant
fewer and better private stores, where
larger sales make smaller profits pos
slple, and where better business meth
