SENATE GETS NEW
ROLL|NG-STOCK ACT
Amendments Give rs Per Cent to
Cities and Is Per Cent
to Counties.
MEASURE HELD TO BE LEGAL
Attorneys Agree That Constitu-
tional Failing Is Removed
in New Law.
MEASURE HELD TO BE LEGAL

The Senate Committee on Roads and
Internal Navigation voted yesterday
afternoon to recommend for passage
the rolling stock bill introduced by
Senator's Holt and West, after incor-
porating an amendment providing for
tax on the basis of 20 per cent to the
home Office cities and 10 per cent to
the counties. towns and school dis
tricts. The committee added also other
amendments of minor import
In it's amended form the bill divides
the rolling-stock tax in exactly the
by the General Assembly of 1912, the
sole difference being In the manner of
collection. The act of 1912 assessed the
whole rollinE-stoc corpus at the tax
rate of the home office city, which up
to that time had absorbed the whole
tax itself. and proposed to apportion
the tax thus collected among tho va
rious cities. towns and counties through
which the roads passed. for local uses.
Removes Disability.
The act was declared unconstitu-
tional by the State Corporation Com
mission on the ground that no class Of
poses at higher rate than that pre-
vailinE I'm the local tax district. An
appeal was taken from this ruling and
the case Is still pending In the Supreme
Court of Appeals.
According to lawyers who have care
fully examined the new bill. tho con-
stitutional disability has been removed
by providing scheme of taxation I'M
der which each local taxing subdivision
will impose on it's proportionate share
OF the entire rolling stock of the road
which passes through its borders its
own local tax rate. The effect of tho
bill. if ii is passed in the form in which
1T comes from tho Senate committee
will be to give TO Richmond. Roanoke.
Petersburg and the other headquarters
cities the same share of tho rolling
stock tax that they would have re-
ceived had the net OF 1912 been per-
mitted to stand.

INDIAN TROOPS GIVE
 ACCOUNT OF SELVES

London, otc. 2s.-The Telesraph's correspondent, describing the first In. stance of the troops from India coming into action at Labassee, says:
 "The Germans had carried the Brit. ish trenches, and the position looked dangerous. An avalanche of the enc. my poured through, evidently suppos. ing that the way was open to the coast. They had rude awakening. The supports of the British line were Indian troops who had been thirstins to prove their quality. 1t waa a bay onet affair, and the Germans advance was beaten and broken"
 "The Indians ran through them, us- ing the steel bayoneas In their own workranllke fashion, and thrustlng the foe back where he was exposed to the left and right fire of the Brit ish who had awaited their coming.
 "Not only did the Indians regain the lost trenches, but they pursued the enemy down the hill until the officers thought 1t prudent to recall them"

 PREVENT MORE WAR

 Among those who spoke in favor of the plan, Mrs. Ricketts Shell, a prominent club.woman of Cincinnati, in an impassioned address declared: 'Women suffer agony to bring chil- dren into the world and the European war has proved that these children may be fed to cannon and shrapnel at any time."
