From Richmond Hastings Court In

Resident Holders Not to Pay.

Share~ OF stock of banks, banking

panies. in the hands of individuals
domiciled in Virginia are not taxable
This Is tho substance of the decision
by the State Supreme Court of APP
peals yesterday in the case of the
Commonwealth against J, Jordan
Leaka.
The Commonwealth appealed to the
State Supreme Court from the Rich
mond Hastings Courts Judgment in
the matter Of the Commonwealth
against Leake. which Judgment was
entered October 20, 1915, and reaf-
firmed February 3. 1915. after re-
hearing. exonerating Leake from the
payment of s24.27 State taxes claimed
to have been enormously assessed
against Leake for the year 1915
Mr.. Leake owned fifty shares of the
capital stock of the Virginia Fire and
Marine Company, valued at s25 each
At the time that he was assessed Mr.
Leake claimed that the shares were
not subject to taxation, but he was
assessed. He resisted in the Hastings
Court the collection of this tax and his
contention was sustained The State
court has now sustained the Hastings
Court. In refusing the appeal of the
Comm on wealth the Supreme Court
says:
Limits the Antecedent.
The question which was made the
subject of this petition depended upon
a correct construction of the seventh
subdivision OF section of the tax
bill, as amended by the Acts of 1915.
which reads as follows
"Al shares OF stock OF corpora

taxed by the State. or which pays

The petitioner contended that the

papers which have the strongest hold
upon the confidence of the people of
any community are those which have
the reputation for printing the news
as correctly as human fallibility can
present it and commenting upon it
as fairly and dispassionately as the
widely varying viewpoint of individ-
uals can make possible. There is
not the shadow of an excuse for ever
lasting "maligning and misrepresent-
ing" in news reports and in editorial
comment. Papers having that repu-
tation cannot hope to secure or retain
the confidence of their readers, no
matter how powerful" they may be
and the most valuable asset any news
paper can have is public confidence
in its sincerity and reliability. The
people are not easily deceived and
they quickly learn to discriminate be-
tween the reputable and the TAX
grinding" newspaper.
Only second in viciousness is the
sensationalism which prints the wild
est rumors, regardless Of whether
they have the slightest foundation in
fact or reason and without making
any effort to verify statements made
under those circumstances. "Yellow
journalism" does not possess the pow
er in this country which it had when
! it was first established. There are
newspapers of which the commonest
commentary, when a particularly
glaring scoop" is exploited in tre-
mendous size and blackness Of type,
is that ut is probably only news
paper yarn" When such a story is
printed in such paper, the public is
no longer deceived as it once was,
though the thoughtless may lose some
of their. confidence in the reliability
If newspapers in general.
When all is said, American Journal
ism today occupies a vastly higher
plane, a. vastly higher place in the
regard of the American people than
lit eve, held and the disreputablc eX-
tep' "ns only prove the eminently
creditable rule. Mr.. Proctor only
points out weaknesses which are COM

mission and unceasing effort Of reput-
able journalism to correct.

THE DEMOCRATS AND MR..
HUGHES

The sympathy which the democrat
ic rress of the nation is extending 10
the Progressive party for what it
terms "the throw down" of that body
by Colonel Roosevelt, is pathetic. Its
mitigation at the attitude Of the COL
onel in. the matter is sincere. Its
fear of the candidacy of Mr.. Hughes
is real, says the Helena Record.
The punch contained in the tele-
gram of acceptance by Mr.. Hughes to
the Republican convention, smashed
the charge that the late justice was
being boosted by the German Amer
ican Alliance. the hyphenate political
organization which has so strongly
opposed both Wilson and Roosevelt.
AS a matter of fact the Milwaukee
branch of this organization several
weeks ago declared itself against not
only Wilson and Roosevelt, but Hughes
as we'll.
The Democrats are having the time
of their young life in trying to make
the public believe that the Republican
nominee is no good; that he is weak
cold,. unresponsive; that, coming al
he did from the supreme court bench
into the field of politics, he consti
tutes menace to the future vel
fare of the nation and forestalls tn,

body which constitutes the highes

DIsREPUTABLE JOURNALISM

DlSkEPUTABLE JOURNALISM
In an address before the Kansas
City Bar association on "The Press
and the People," David M. Proctor
administers deserved rebuke to two
Of the principal abuses of modern
journalism, which only serve to en-
phasize the fact that the overwhelm-
ing majority Of American newspapers
are bending every energy toward
printing the news as accurately as
they can collect it. One type of dis
reputable journalistic standards, dis
torts the most ordinary news occur
rences to meet its own particular
views. Mr.. Proctor remarked, in ar
guing for unbiased news reports, that
"the right to malign and misrepre-
sent may be reserved to the editorial
writer's" but in this view he is funda-
mentally wrong. No department Of a
newspaper has any right, from any
point of view, to misrepresent the
facts or to malign individuals.
It is easy to carry the editorial ,fea-
ture in the chronicling of the news to
discreditable extremes and in this
community there have been numerous
glaring examples Of the practice. The
