VIII be waived thereby. ana u
seems 10 be a question of suta
large and general Importance as
to make this course wise. and
likely to promote uniformity Of
assessments and equality OF tax
burdens throughout the Common
wealth"
II seems to The Vireinian that there
~ no inconsistency in this declaration
It merely means that the State Ad-
visory BOARD desires the Legislature to
decide t'r4e question. and pending that
decision advises the local officers to
suspend operations save for the year
1915, at the same time showing that
no right Of the State to these omitted
taxes will be infringed by the delay
There is. on the other ,lapd. the
position OF tho Richmond Local Board
Of Review ard the local Examiners of
Record. These officials had already
done the work which they are now
advised by .ae State board to delay.
If they fail TO report theig findings.
they fear an infringement of the law.
II they do report them, and the ex-
amlners of record in other sections of
the State make no such reports. a
grave discrimination Will have been
made against Richmond.
In tais situation the local board de-
sires the State board to accept the
responsibility for whatever action Is
/ finally taken--that is, the local board
feels that It has performed Its duty
and should not be made to suffer for
so doing,
! The State board has also been alive
( to the interests OF the State, and we
doubt not viii take such action at Its
next meeting we believe Is &c
he held Tuesday---as will equalize the
situation, In the mes ntime, there ap.
pears no cause for unusual disturbance

Society Wedding Illegal.

Philadelphia. Sept. 1S.-Philadel-
phia society was shaken to the foun-
dations by an announcement by
Bishop Rhinelander, head of the
Episcopal Diocese of Philadelphia
that the recent marriage of Jay B.
Lippincott to Mrs. Mary l.. Bogart
Huntington. divorced wife OF f. r.
wing Huntinton, at Flushing. Long
Island. was Illegal.
The New York clergyman who Of
fciated at the wedding. according to
Bishop Rhinelander violated the
tenets OF the Episcopal Church when
he performed the ceremony.
The Bishop SAID the canons OF the
church forbid the remarrying of any
person while hts or her husband or
wife was still living. provided that
person was not the innocent party in
a divorce for adultery.

NOT AN IMPASSE.

/; would be manifestiy and grossly
unfair to Richmond If omitted taxes
eer years previous 10 1916 were as
sessed In Rics1mord alone and not re-
ported for collection in the rest OF
the state. AS The Ttrginian under.
stands the situation this Is not the in
tanfion nor the desire of the State
Advisory Board.
Neither is il The Virginian's under
standing That the state advisory isUsTrCt
intends or desires hy It's circular TO
relieve taxpayers OF omitted taxes IN
Richmond or anywhere In Virginia.
This understanding is based on the
language contained in the much quoted
circular issued by the board under
date Of September Ii.
In that circular, the gist Of the
boards argument is expressed in the
following language:
ITO postpone tire assessment of
omitted property for years prior
10 1915 will not rsieasc the tax
payers, and this board does not
believe II was tae intention Of the
General Assembly, ny the act
creating II and-iocai boa rds of
review, to require taxing officers
TO open up the matter Of the taxa
ton of citizens OF the Common
wealth for period az far back as
1878
This hoard. therefore. advises
that examiners Of records and
local boards OF review postpone
assessments of such property, and
the merchants license tax and In
comes omitted from taxation for
years previous to 1915, though oil
possible data should now be Sc
cured for future use. This board
will therefore, recommend to the
General Assembly at It's naxt ses-
sion that they declare what shall
be the policy of the state with
reference to suca assessments.
and hence il seems wise to delay
the decision Of the question until
an opportunity can be had for
secs,rinr Legislative action which
shall definitely declare such
policy.
