COURT TO REVIEW ACT.
Propertv Owners Of Houses in "Di-
vision Prepare TO Test Ken
Won Measure.

Washington Feb. 5.-The Kenyon
red light act is to be tested in the
District Supreme Court.
Not later than Monday proceedings
in equity viii be started by Attorney
Robert I. Miller, on the ground that
his clients, property owners in the Sc
greeatcd district, cannot be dispos-
sessed without due process of law.
This means at least a year Of court
proceedings. during which time the
resorts of the division" will probably
2perate as they have heretofore.
Attorney Miller. who will bring the
proceedings to stay the closing OF
The resorts, declares that there are
several flaws in the Kenyon measure
Section 3. he says, which provides
that evidence OF the general reputa-
ton Of the places against which IN
functions are asked shall be admlssl-
bic, is open to attack, as many de-
c;soHs have held that such evidence
cannot Ue used in courts. Another
special object of attack will be the
fact that the act does not provide
that the person asking for an injunc'
ton file a bond to show good faith
Attorney Miller declares that this
is contrary to the procedure of the
courts. Another point which will be
argued is that the bill affects prop
ertv rights Of citizens. WHO are not
permitted Z trial by jury, and, if con-
tempt proceedings are brought, are
liable 10 both fine and imprison-
ment.

MOVEMENT FOR
LOWER TAXES
Bill in Assembly Has Sup
port of Governor Stuart
and Auditor Moore.
RATE THIRTY CENTS.
This, it is Thought. Will Lead to More
Honest Assessment and Further
Reduction in Future.

Richmond, Feb. "a reduction in
the State tax rate on realty, personal
property and intangibles from %
cents on 500 to 80 cents is proposed
in bill introduced yesterday by
Delegate Z. l.. Brewer, Jr., chairman
of the House Committee on Appro-
priations. The bill has the approval
of Governor Stuart, Speaker Cox,
Auditor Moore, and others, and its
patron believes that it will be unan-
imously reported.
I've have gone into this thing
thoroughly" said Mr.. Brewer yester-
day. ais is no clap trap or flash in
the pan proposition. Members of our
committee have debated the matter
at length after considering all of
the petitions for appropriations, and
we have consulted Governor Stuart,
""ho approves of the reduction.
I'VE believe that it is a matter of
good faith with the people of Vir-
ginia. The State has reached u
point where there is balance in the
treasury and instead of seeking some
way to spend it we believe it is
proper to return it to the people IN
the shape in reduction of the gen
eiaI rate of taxation on real and per-
su.;.! property. Furthermore, We
believe that when this is announced
as the policy of the General Assem-
bly, the people will meet US more
than halfway. There will be fairer
assessments of real estate and more
general returns of personal property.
When all property, in the State is
placed on the tax books at its fair
value, there can be still further
considerable reduction in the rate Of
taxation"
81 am thoroughly in sympathy
with the plan for reducing the State
tax rate" said Speaker Cox yes

Auditor of Public Accounts. The
patron has consulted mo in regard to
this bill, and / am heartily in favor Of
