HOUSE WILL REJECT
ENABLING ACT AND
SEND TO COMMITTEE
THE ENABLING ACT

The enabling act. ae II stands to-
day. amended by the senate and re-
fcrred to the house for concur
renee. is an act giving the people
of the State of Virginia the right to
express their sentiments on the
liquor question at the polls. n 10
whether or not Statewide prohi-
bition shall prevail.
The bill provides that an cleo
ton shall be held. in which the
qualified voters shall vote, and the
result of such an election shall be
returned to the governor, who Will
proclaim the result.
As passed by the house, the bill
provides that should the State be-
come dry as result of said cleo
ton, the hill shall take effect May
1, 1915. Thus il gives two years To
the liquor people to clean up their
business and move To more con-
genial quarters in some other State.
However. an amendment to this
clause was added I'm the senate pro-
viding that the bill shall not take
effect until May 1. 1917, giving the
whiskey element three years.
An amendment added i'm the sen
ate provided that the wine manu-
fst<.turers might continue the man
ufaeture of wine ON the condition
that il he sold outside the State, In
quantities Of not less than two and
one half gallons or one dozen bot
ties.
The brewerieS also. under the
senate amendments, can continue
the manufacture OF beer. but their
products must he sold outside Of
the State I'm quantities not less than
five gallons or two dozen bottles.
According to the bill rs sent tn
the house for concurrence. the en-
abling act is not i'm conflict will,
the present laws regarding the sale
OF cider, which means that cider
under n certain percentage of al
cohoI may be sold even should
Statewide prohibition prevail.
These amendments offered by
opponents al the bill were for the
purpose of killing the measure, but
the bill as delivered by the senate
will he rejected in the house. and
will be sent to conference COM
nlitfce for readiustmcnt.
II IL said that both the house and
senate will concur in the bill as
fixed by the conference and it will
be made satisfactory to both sides.
The proponents have bitterely OPP
posed the beer amendment. and
that clause extending the time
when the law shall go into effect.
The passage of the bill giving
them the right to vote ON the ques-
ton for which they have clamoreti
for years. only means that the State
has come into her rights and the
people will be given chance 10
voice their protest against the
whiskey evil.

Messrs Gay and Hunton. OF counsel
for the Southern Railway company
addressed the committee, naming q
price of $500 per square foot for the
twenty-foot strip OF land on the ives,
side Of Fourteenth street, from the
north side Of the dock to the bridge
Mr.. Gay said this price had been ap-
proved by the officials Of the company

City Engineer Boiling stated thai
this meant an approximate cost al
$65, 200 for this narrow strip OF land

committee.

FOR DEVELOPING
VIRGINIA FARMS
BY ADVERTISING
Richmond Advertisers Club
Hears Industrial Agent La
Baume, of N. X w. Railway,
Urge Action.
Many States Expanding Large
Sums Annually in Exploiting
Their Possibilities and Vir-
GINA Should Get in Line,
He Declares.

A concerted move on the part of
Richmond advertisers to develop
farms in Virginia, and especially in
the vicinity of Richmond, was the
proposal made before the Richmond
Advertisers club yesterday as a re-
suit of the interesting address made
the members by r. II. La Baume on
the possibilities of farm development
in the South and in Virginia.
The idea was urged by the speaker.
and j. G. Corley advocated the scien-
titic cultivation OF small farms so
that the maximum productivity
might be obtained. In conjunction
with this the local club would enter
into advertising campaigns setting
forth the possibilities in Virginia,
thus offsetting the campaigns which
California. Wisconsin and Georgia are
making and securing for the farmers
better markets for their products.
How Apple Crop Suffers.
A notable example Of how Virginia
suffers because of the lack Of proper
advertising is that of it's apple crop.
1t is an established fact that the
apples grown in the Valley of Vir-
ginia possess a quality which is un-
excelIed Connoisseurs in Europe
have realized this for many years.
and as a result their buyers secure
the greater portion of the crop each
season for shipment to foreign
shores while but small share of the
inferior article is retained for home
consumption.
I'm Wisconsin 100000 Is spent
annually in advertising the land, and
the products of that State said Mr..
La Baume. California and Georgia,
as we'll as many others States, are
ryyr 1ur
in bringing to the attention of the
country the possibilities of their sec
lions. This advertising is done by
means OF attractive literature and re-
suits in many thousands of persons
going 10 these States each year TAX
ing with them an average OF $4,000
each.
Virginia" continued Mr.. La Baume
offers much better possibilities than
does California. We need spirit among
our business men TO aid the farmers
to markets and better crops and work
of a scientific nature on their part to
develop the best that Is in their land.
If this is done big results are" pos
sible to all. The idea is to divide the
large tracts. which now exist. into
number OF small farms of perhaps forty
to sixty acres each, and to thus avoid
the great waste which now occurs
and the raising of the land value to the
highest point.
Development Overlooked.
The development of agricultural
land in the South has been overlooked"
declared MIR. La Baume, and this
oversight or negligence has been of
profit to the States which are adver-
Using. In California, the business men
are realizing that the ultimate pros
perity of the country lies with the pros
perity of the farmers and they are
giving the newcomers opportunities for
getting land on long time payments.
To this they are adding advantages
