TAX Commission IS
NOT JUNKET|NG BODY
PLENTY OF WORK AHEAD OF
TIIE.M--MaNY CONFERENCES
HELD.

For upwarda~of two months the tax
commission has been making persist
ent and strenuous efforts to get in
personal touch with the people OF all
sections and all interests in the state.
Individual members OF the commits
sion have held conferences with large
numbers of representative men in all
parts OF Virginia. men intimately
@ cuuainted with the condition and the
sentiment OF. the different sections and
interests with which they are con-
nected. In addition. the commission
has as a body visited those regions
where the occupations are specialized
and differ in character from the oc-
equations that are more or less state
wide. On the whole, many thousands
Of citizens have thus been heard from.
The commissions offices have peen
open to all corners, and the individ-
ual members have not only been &C
cesslbie, but have earnestly and act
lively sought information, suggestion
and cooperation from all The hear
inss ii has conducted and its de-
alterations have all been public Rep
resentatives of the press and other
citizens have found its doors open;
and the minds of its members have
been as open as the doors Of its Of
fees.
Until its report is In the hands of
the governor, the commission will not
cease to seek accurate Information
from every trustworthy source. 1t Is
not likely, however. that it will leave
Richmond for additional formal hear
ings. Those regions where great
special interests are localized, il has
visited as a whole. In order to make
its Investigations on the spot Similar
visits to other regions would be a
needless waste of money. and what is
more important. a fatal loss of time.
since one of two members could ac-
compiish as much as the whole body.
1T would do doubt be very agree
able to the commission to travel all
over the State. But il is not "junket-
ing body, 1t is Il group Of hard
working men, who take their duty
seriously, and are using every effort
to find the surest way OF making the
tax burden just and equal on all the
residents in the Commonwealth.

Teacher Says. She Is Opposed to

The Fortune Of Politics.

Iowa City Citizen: 1t is difficult to
anticipate the turns of politics. Here
is Senator Cummins, for whom the
hardest fight Of his life was predicted
a year ago, now with an easy pros
pect before him and almost certain Of
success in November. Here is Gov
ernor Clarke, who was told that the
state was aroused against him as 1t
never had been before, beating enc
opponent three to one and another
five to one Here is Harry Hull, sup
posed to be leading a forlorn hope
when he was nominated for congress
last February, now in fair way to
represent the second district at Wash
ington after March next.
Here is also the republican party,
presumably under the shadow of a
crushing defeat, with an aggressive
democratic administration in power
that has revised the tariff and cur
rency laws and earned a reputation
for success; yet the prospect of Iowa
J is for sweeping and old-fashioned
