Highland recorder. (Monterey, Highland County, Va.) 1877-1972, 1914-10-16

The Covington Sentinel has the
following to say of the Republican
nomination.
AS forecast, the Republicans
picked the strangest dry man
available. Mr.. Revercomb took an
active part in the liquor fight in
his home city, and two years ago
he supported Colonel S. Brown
Allen in the Roanoke convention,
when Colonel Allen sought to have
adopted a resolution committing
the State party to the support of
prohibition. Apart from his tenn
perance record, he is a man of fine
qualities and considerable popu-
larity, and Republicans predict
that he will give Mr.. Flood aspirit-
ed race.
A number of clubs are being
formed in behalf of Mr., Rever-
comb in his district.
Highland recorder. (Monterey, Highland County, Va.) 1877-1972, 1914-10-16
Revision Of State Tax

A highly interesting document
has recently been issued by the
special committee on tax revision
which was appointed to investigate
conditions in Virgininia and tormu-
late some plan of tax assessment
which will be more elulta''e ~
between different classes property
The fgues given in the bulletin
very clearly show present mo 'ail
ties of assessment and torcthlH
demonstrate the need Of adequate
tax legislation.
As Between cities and counties,
it is shown that properly IN the Tor,
mer is assessed at SO per cent anc
in the latter at only 33.5 per cent
Of the counties; Carroll is put
down by the commission as the F 9af
in which assessed apEa G'tt, the assess.
Valpelf Carroll being given as H.
per cent. Brunswick is the banner
county, assessment for taxation
there being rs per cent of actual
value-a percentage not equaled
by number of cities. The banner
city is Fredericksburg, whose per
centage is 765; while the BOBBY
prize for cities goes to Roanoke
with 43.7 per cent. Buena Vista
is above the city average, the ratio
being 59.5.
RATIO IN HIGHLAND IS HIGH
In Highland the ratio of assess
ment is 49,. The nearby counties
are as follows: Augusta, 80 3, Rock
ingham, 3.99; Botetourt, SO 5; Bed
fort, 33.l; Amherst. 34.3; Nelson,
26.7; Bath, 356; Rockbridge, SO g.;
Roanoke, SOL.
In addition to inequalities be-
tween various counties and cities
the committees figures show a
further inequality in both counties
and cities between different classes
of property, this conditions being
more marked in the counties than
in the cities; In brief, the small
landowner is paying a greater part
of the States expenditures than is
the large landowners. In the coun.
ties, real estate worth less than
$500 is assessed at 46.7 per cent of
its true market value, while real
estate worth over $4,000 is assess
ed at only 2S.1 per cent of its
market value. This condition is
not nearly so bad in the cities,
where for the same classes of prop
erty the percentages are 59.7 and
4S.2, respectively.
In giving out these figures the
tax committee states that the true
market value of real estate was OBJ
tanned by taking all sales made in
the year 1912 and comparing the
consideration received with the as
sessment against the property sold.
Sales made in circumstances max
ing the consideration a doubtful ex
expression of the true value of the
property sold were excluded.

Political Prayer Meetings.

1t Is a sad day for christianity when
the church bells call the communicates
together for political prayer meet.
Ing. Such gatherings mark the high
tide Of religious political fanaticism,
put bitterness into the lives of men;
fan the fame Of class hated and de-
stroy christian influence in the COM
munity. The spirit actuating such
meetings Is anarchic, un-Christlike
and dangerous to both church and
state.
1t must be said to the credit OF the
church that the political preacher Is
fast disappearing and may his In
fluence ever wane and his shadow ever
grow less is the prayer of The farmers
of this nation.

Important to all Women
Readers of this Paper

Tousands upon thousands of
women have kidney or bladder
trouble and never suspect it. g.
Women's complaints often prove
to be nothing else but kidney
trouble, or the result of kidney or
bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a
healthy condition, they may cause
the other organs to become diseas-
ed.
You may suffer great deal with
pain in the back, bearing-down
feelings, headache and loss of am
bition.
Poor health makes you nervous,
irritable and may be respondent;
it makes any one so.
Bnt hundreds of women claim
that DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by
restoring health to the kidneys
proved to be just the remedy
needed to overcome such conditions.
A good kidney medicine, possess
ing real healing and curative value,
should be a blessing to thousands
of nervous, over-worked women.
Many send for a sample bottle
to see what Swamp-Roo. the great
Kidney, Liver and Bladder Remedy
will do for them. Every reader of
this paper, who has M9t already
tried it, by enclosing ten cents to
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bingha mton, n.
Y, may receive sample size bottle
by Parcel Post. You can purchase
the regular ffty-cent and one-dol-
lar size bottles at all drug stores.

err the sim" l think a political Dlsnop
can turkey trot in the name OF christ

; to us from the Bible and not from
the statute book; it will come through
holy councils of consecrated ministers
and not from caucuses OF political
preachers.
