Mrs Warren's case is different. She
concealed nothing. The charge is that
she lied as 10 the cost price Of certain
gowns and again as 10 certain of the
gowns having previously been imported.

contends that she must have known that
the merchandise was worth many times

alleged false statement regarding the

Railroads and TnxnfIon.

To tho Editor Of The Times Dispatch:
Sir.-On any question OF taxation 1t
is generally admitted that the proper
method OF imposing taxes is to cqualizc
the tax burden. The same principle Is
covered by the statement that justice
rather than cXpediency should govern
1.-THE amount of taxes to be levied against
any particular class of property or
person.
1t seems that the origin of the move
ment to increase the railway taxes In
Virginia by increasing the franchise
tax from Is per cent to 11-2 per
cent is based upon the report OF the
Auditor Of Public Accounts that the
reassessmene OF land for 1916 showed
nm increase OF II per cent. and that,
therefore, to make good the principle
2f equalization, there should be n SINH
lar raise in railway properties.
This argument would he unanswer-
able. hut for the fact that the railroads
have borne An increased tax continu-
eisly since 1910. the timc OF the last
yaal estate assessment. the tax on
franchises OF railroads being imposed
on tho percentage Of gross earnings

Legislature, an increase OF 12i-2 per

cent on this franchise tax was made
ana inc increase now proposed would
mean an increase In two years of go
per cent in the franchise tax on gross
earnings proper inquiry, therefore.
Is. what part of the taxes collected
by the State Of Virginia lave been
PAID In years past by the railroad COM
DanieS. and how much railroad taxes
have Increased"
1t appears that the total receipts
from taxes upon property for the year
l9l5. III round figures, was $500, 400:
that the taxes paid by the railroads
were Sl.lG.,00o and if we deduct from
the taxes upon property the license
taxes paid TO the state. tho railroads
would pay more than n"-tifth OF the
entire taxes paid TO the State of Vir-
Sinia for tho year 1914
Another statement OF the amount of
taxes paid i'll the state of Virginia by
railroads Is that the railroads pay an
average per mile Of Si22 per annun,.
In only eighteen States do tho railroads
pay more per mile than they do in
the state OF Virginia. 1t will also he
, found that tho average paid by the
railroads in Virginia running north
and south in taxes, State and local, is
more than twice as much rs the aver
age per mile paid in all the other
States.
IL also appears that the rate of in
crease In taxes paid by steam rail-
roads in Virginia, state and local. for
| cach year over tho previous year was:
1870? over 1908. 2.5S pcr cent: 1910. 22Gs
per cent: 1911. l.SG per cent: 1912, 3.3j
per cent: 1919. 7.CS per cent: 1914, > q
per cent; 1915. $50 per cent. That the
taxes paid To the State for 1915 over
1910 Increased upward OF $500, 900. or
90 per cent. and that the total tax for
the seven years. from 1905 to 1915,
state and local increased over
$1,000. 900
We do not believe that the increase

applying the principle that a Just tax

do not see how the proposed plan to

10 tho l>ditor ot Inc Times dispatch:
Sir,-Will you allow an old Confed-
crate soldier TO thank YOU for Your
timely editorial in last Sundays paper
on Erecting q New DcspotisIn'?
Is il possible that the LcEisla ture
of Virginia is letting lobby, holding
its meetings in a church. tell IL what
laws to pass and then follow their adj
vice? Is this the Democratic party
which has for years claimed 10 uphold
tho rights OF personal liberty?
Why doesn't the Anti-Saloon party
come on in their own colors and let
the people know what they are voting
for--why masquerade under the plea
OF moralso Has any one ever been
made moral by force, or are we coming
back to the days Of til" Innuisition,
when the so-callcd priests made the
people obey their Injunction or suffer
the penalty?
II the Democrats want TO join the
Antt-Saloon party, why not name tho
party the INSTRUMENTATION party
and fight fair" Do YOU suppose the
farmers OF our State, when voting To
exclude whisky. thought they would be
apples grown in their orchards"
And then they have made a new Of
ficer, at q large salary. bu; the men
who arc taxed TO pay his salary are not
allowed voice in choosing him
oh. no: that plum must fall in the
the Legislature. thus saving great
expense to the State, and let the bosses
make the laws and appoint the men 10
carry them out?
Surely. this can't be the Democratic
party that for long years fought
to maintain the honor Of Virginia; we
heat tho Republican party. but a more
insidious party took up the fight and
wormed itself in our confidence on the
plea that the prohibition party would
not go into politics. Where is II nowc
Churches are turned into party meet
Ing places to dictate laws TO Virginia.
For forty-six years ! have voted the
straight Democratic ticket. but must
confess the dose is getting nauseating
and hundreds of oid-timc Democrats
are In the same mood. 7 honor your
paper for having the courage to sound
tho alarm, and trust IL Is not yet too
rte for the old party to get beck to
its mornings.
