TIE sr,,Ir THAT COUNTS.

The spirit shown by the House or
Delegates yesterday In passing the
Weaver bill is the spirit that brings
construction from difference progress
from confusion Men call that spirit
compromise. mutual concessions. tho
removal OF objections. but 1t has a
higher. noblcr name--pa triotism.
The Times Dispatch has every con-
sheraton for men who objected on
tcnablc grounds TO the passage Of this
bill They are mistaken. but they are
sincere. and as such. they are GER
tainly entitled 10 their opinion. We
have. in the same manner. nothing but
praise for the mon who led this fight
for proEress-men like Aubrey Weaver.
But we have stin higher praise for
those men like Chalkley. Myers,
Stearncs. and the rest who opposed the
form of tho bill. but voted for II
rather than see the object defeated
surely the manifestation Of this
spirit is happy augury OF tho flu
ture There are before the Assembly
problems of weight ana complexity:
our whole tax code is to be revised,
our election laws must be purified
and strengthened, the fee system must
he reformed, other questions scarcely
less troublesome must be settled In
ovitably, In discussing these matters,
thero viii DO radical differences OF
opinion, even bitterness and hostility
But If. In all the debate, the one OBJ
ject he kept In vicw--lcg to
meet present need and future wants
that spirit demonstrated ia the vote
yesterday will suffice TO give us.a con
struc,ivc policy.
Wo 90 not expect members at once
10 agree. we should be alarmed II
they did. But we are emboldened by
the spirit OF the House to believe tina.
disagreement is not to thwart action
In the Assembly OF 1914. We antlcl-
pate acrimonious debate and earnest
contention, but we can assure our
readers, on tho strength OF what hap
pened yesterday, that when the fight
IS ended and tho time comes to vote.
members arc inclined to unite upon
that which is necessary for the wei
fare and tho progress Of Virginia. ii,
rs we fully anticipate, the Senate to-
day accepts the House bill, we shall
feel even more confident that the scs-
sion of 1914 is to be one of construc-
tive effort and successful labor for tho
welfare OF the Commonwealth

Voice of the People
Driylng Money our.


To the Editor of The Times Dispatch:
Sir,-The proposition to make tho
banks collect the taxes on money Is tho
surest way to discourage deposits and
TO drive thcn off to distant
states that can BE devised.
At vast expense for advertising, tho
banks have Cotton into circulation
many II dollar utterly lost to business
thonrdcd). Any attempt to tax this
Will drive IT back to Its old hiding
places or off to far distant States. So
intcnt Is the State on extortion that
she Is blind TO all other considerations
If there were no tax on deposits, tho
banks are taxed heavily enough to
compensate. II 1t is unconstitutional
to remove the tax entirely, then let
the people vote to change It.
In 1900 the Legislature Slipped
through bill appointing men to go
around to banks and examine their
books TO nnd out who had money. 1t
WAS denounced all over the State, and
soon declared UNCONSTITUTIONAL But In
the meantime, banks In other States
were sending out circulars inviting de-
posts.
How much boarded money is ever re-
ported. even by tho most pious old
brothers and sisters? Then, why tax
II when 1T comes to bank? AS long
us there are seventeen States that don't
tax IT, tho thirty-one others will have
to fall In line or suffer the conse-
quences. III. T.. FAUNTLEROY

Views of the
Virginia Editors
The UniversIty for Both se.e

The proposal TO allow women to
enjoy the educational advantages OF
me university OF Virginia was argued
Pro ana con by representative Viz
Ginians before the board OF visitors of
that institution last Thursday. There
are arguments on both sides. but. I'm
our view of tho case. the State IL I'm
duty bound either to establish q col
legc for women that will meet all
tho requirements OF higher education,
or else make the university accessible
TO both sexes.
The university is a State institution.
and IL is supported in part by public
taxation To exclude the women
smacks of class Legislation. Here are
two citizens. each of whom are taxed
In the same amount TO support this
institution of learning, the best In the
commonwealth One OF these tax
PAYERS has boys to educate. the other
girls The first may send his boys TO
the university without paying tuition;
the other Is denied the privilege OF
educating his girls there for any
terms
Ncrsity. to no alumnus, In respect for
its prestige, in reverence for its ira
ditions, in desire for its welfare. Nor
do we believe in coeducation Of the
sexes. But we place justice ahead of
sentiment, and the doors of the uni
versity may he opened to women with
out making ii n coeducational school,
In the accepted meaning OF that term.
1t is Il university. and not n curriculum
college. It's courses are arranged In
lectures, and the women could attend
the lectures and take the examinations
and receive diplomas without sexual
complications or en- barraSSmcnts. Wo-
men are the equal of men intellectual
ly, and the State owes /. to her daugh-
ters to give them the same educa-
tional advantages that she gives her
practically all the teaching in the
public schools. ;nd every summer the
university courses are open TO all
teachers. Why, then, close the doors
/. women in regular rcrm time? There
is no Justice in II. and we hope the
women viii win their cnse.--Newport

we are asked to do the same
Very simple operation
For protection OF our game.
The fellow who in au;umn

The effect Of which precision

Another thing on earth
Except TO take his gun and dog
And get his moneys worth:
And while the. hunting season lasts

For fear he will not get the worth
of what he's had to pay.
And Yet the game that's slaughtered
