siderable increase In return as we'll Several
years ago noted economist calculated the
revenue which tho Virginia RAILWAYS would
pay II they were taxed solely on gross earn
inss instead of on the mixed basis The rate
he used was the moderate one of . per cent
on gross earnings. with small added tax on
profits. The census of 1910 reported Vir-
ginia as containing 3,7S7 miles of railroad
yielding an operating revenue of $46.720,OOO
The taxes paid in that year amounted to ST.
53i,ooQ AT fiat rate of per cent on earn
mgs the return would have been $1.761.OOO
Thus, there would have been Il gain of more
than 100000 without any injustice since
such Il tax is strictly regulated by actual in
come
The existing earnings tax is levied OH the
average income of entire interstate systems
and not on the actual receipts from Virginia
Consequently, the State receives considerably
less revenue than il otherwise would The
gross earnings on the interstate average
amounted to S61,5l4,0 900 in 1913: the real
earnings were S62,764.00O. If receipts were
taxed simply at the rate of 9 per cent the
sum obtained would be $1,345,3SO as against
Sl,031177, which is the States present in
come from railways
Should some change in partial segregation
be found necessary, in order to lessen the
deficit i'll State taxes to be made up by the
cities and counties. would it not be we'll ia
consider what combination is possible through

German Conservation of Food Supply

= ERMAN measures to conserve the food
~ supply of the empire which include, it
is announced, the practical confiscation Of the
entire grain crop, will probably sound the
death knell of all plans to snip food from this
country to German ports. The announce
ment is made officially by the Kaser's gov
eminent. Under the circumstances. it is
practically inconceivable that Great Britain
which controls the seas, will permit German
importation OF grain and meat cargoes
Under international law. food is conditional
contraband. If it is destined for the armed
forces of bellgerent it is subject to seizure
while if i, is intended TO supply the wants of
that beillgerents civil population, it is not
so subject. With the entire grain crop of
Germany confiscated to government use and
other stringent regulations of the same gen.
era! type III erect. II becomes practically i'm
possible for neutral shipper to demonstrate
that his cargo of grain or -four has "A non
military destination The whole and entire
ly natural assumption would be the other
way, and valid distinction almost out of the
question
The allies could hardly be expected to an
prove or. so far as their military capacity and
proved maritime supremacy admit, to tolerate
German importations of food supplies that
would be subject to government seizure A
nation at war gives first consideration TO its

DANGER OF DELAY IN CANCER

Thousands Of lives now needlessly
sacrificed to cancer could be saved if
the patient would go to tho surgeon
as promptly as does the average per-
son attacked by appendicitis. Nor Is
there any reason why the cancer pa
tient should not seek this, the only
safe treatment, with the same high
degree OF confidence in the outcome
that is now common among thosc auf-
fcring from the other more fashionable
disease. Unfortunately, the evidence
is only too clear that u different atti-
tude toward cancer prevails and Oc-

4 New Political Abyss Yawns

DUBLIC reaction to Delegate Chalkley's at
tack OH Governor Stuart will be limited
we venture to say, to amusement. So far as
we are competent to understand the naive
theory that he propounds, it is this: because
the Governor favors a further division of tho
sources of taxation. and because Pennsyl-
vania, where a similar system prevails, is
admittedly corrupt, Virginia. should 1t follow
the Governors advice, is doomed to "a like
wickedness, and the chief executive will be
the principal devil In bringing about that
very undesirable result
