WHAT IS HAPPENING
 HERE THIS WEEK

THE ARIZONA is starting the week with Miss Bessie Barriscale in "Bul- lette and Brown Eyes" a tale similar to Graustark. but said to have more action than the famous tale by Me CGtcheon. Miss Barriscale takes the part of a countess in a mythical coun- try in the Balkans. Her lover. prince of a neighboring country. is unable to see her. the two nations being at war. How he manages to overcome these difficulties, and wins the love of pretty Bessie, makes a picture that is both charming and full of life. The picture will run today and tomorrow. On Tuesday and Wednesday, q feature film entitled The Flying Torpedo" starring Bessie Love, said to be Mary Pickford's peer. will be at the Ari- zona. The picture gives Miss Love q wonderful opportunity to display her multitude of charms. Miss Love in the opinion of many experts of the screen has q wonderful career before her. Patrons of the Arizona will have a ! good opportunity to decide when she appears there Thursday only, Mark l Twain's immortal masterpiece "Pud- d'rhead Wilson in screen form will be at the Arizona.

Splitting Hairs

JEALOUS friends of the State Tax Board
l. displeased by the uneasiness that has
been created throughout the State by the
retirement OF James S. Easley. examiner Of
records for the Sixth Circuit. ask The Times
Dispatch to remember that Mr.. Easey was
not removed" in the technical sense but
merely failed Of reelection His tenure OF
once say these apologiss. was terminated
by an act of the General Assembly and
there was no obligation the part of the
Tax Board TO rcappoint him.
1t is true. perhaps. that the somewhat
tangled letter of the law is subject to this
construction, but it alters in no essential
particular the spirit of MIR. Easley's separa-
hon from a post he appears to have occupied
with marked ability. The facts are that GER
tain charges were filed against him by men
he declares 10 be his personal enemies. that
these charges were considered, in executive
session. by the State Tax Board and that
following this consideration he was held TO
be unacceptable' and successor named.
nc was tried and found wanting. What the
publlc desires to know is what moved the
Tax Board 10 this conclusion
The public will not fail to remember in
this connection that Mr.. Easey assessed the
wealthy shoe manufacturing firm of Grad
dock. Terry G. Co. Of Lynchburg. for omitted
taxes on S2,300.000. The local board of re-
view reduced this assessment TO 100000
but on an appeal to the State Tax Board. the
Acknowledgement upheld the contentious o!
the examiner of records. The public will
remember also it is Mr. Easley's contention
that this assessment he levied and sought TO
uphold was the inspiration of efforts 10 effect
his removal from Office.
1t passes credulity that the examiners
failure to return for taxation funds in the
hands of commissioners and receivers should
nave caused a popular revolt in Halifax
County. Halifax, doubtless, is a highly moral
community, but there other such com
munites in this Commonwealth and in prac-
tically every one OF them the examiner of
records committed the same crime. without
being tarred and feathered or branded as an
undesirabl citizen. That the State Tax
Board did not consider this a capital ofense
in every case. is shown by its retention in
Office of various examiners who were guilty
OF it. There must have been some other
reason. We therefore assume for Mr.. Easley's
dismissal What was it?
The Times Dispatch has no special interest
in Mr.. Easley or his fortunes or misfortunes
If an injustice has been done him, we should
ike TO see that injustice rectiied. but our
single motive in this discussion is a desire
to have the new lax laws faithfully and i'm
partially executed. That ideal is not ad-
vanced by the dismissal Of tax official who
has won unpopularity in high places through
doing his duty. If Mr.. Easey's case answers
this description. interest in il is no longer
personal, but in the best sense public and
1t becomes public obligation to continue
a vigorous protest.
