THE PEOPLE SHOULD SELECT LOCATIONS
OF STATION AND P0SToFFICE

xether I'm one great central union sta
ton ouch as Richmond should have,
this might have an important inffn-
ence in the fixing OF the place for
larger postofics. or certainly for ad-
cauata facilities for the growing par
eel post business. The tendency of
The Postodace Department in the last
few years since the parcel post bust

m edtate steps looking to adequate ia
c.lities near such station for the
handling of the immense parcel post
business of this city.
These two questions of the location
OF the postofrice and the railway sta

considerable business with the post

people should be made known and

fad that whatever may he the prefer

selves OF the privilege OF the protec-
ton OF our laws of recordation. The

by the parties In interest for their

the amount OF bonds of other obliga-
tons secured thereby. but. as our
courts have well said, this Is tax
neither upon the property conveyed

upon civil privilege. This privilege
is availed OF as truly In the recorda-
tion OF supplemental instruments AZ
In original Instruments. In both
cases the obteet Is to secure or better
secure debt. m the bill had been
so drafted that the tax on the supple
mental instrument should be measured

instrument but upon some fair basis

tional privileges afforded by the re-
cordation of tho second instrument the
Justice of such measure would have
been readily recognized. but am un-
willing, In seeking to remedy the de-
feet In the present law. to give my
approval to bill which works an In
Justice ever greater than that sought
to be remedied. This bill not only
permits to go untaxed the recordation
of deeds conveying additional property,
but In open to the still greater objec-'
ton that II allows indefinite suhsti-
tuition OF one property for another
repeated use of our public records
without any tax Whatsoever. This in
my opinion Is a violation OF the princi-
pl of equality. which should as far
as possible be preserved In the levying
of all taxes.

A MAGNIFICENT WORK.

Richmond is so accustomed to do>
ing big things In large way that It
loes not at times get opportunity to
consider some Of It's really important
enterprises properly.
In all Richmond there js no nobler
work. more nobly done, than that of
the Instructive Visiting Nurses Asso-
citation. Last year this association
paid more than 80, 900 visits to more
than 5000 sick persons. ministering
TO those whose need was great. Can
such service be measured in dollars
and cents? Can practical. kindly. low
ing effort OF this kind be compared to
else than that OF Him who
went about doing good?
