FEELING PUBLIC PULSE
stofe Tax Board Asks For views o.
the Public OH Tax Questions NJ"
Generally Discussed.

rro,, tho state tax board comes d
settlement evidently inspired by
tho widespread discussion over the
+hreatened removal from the sta'e
Of Thomas Fortune Ryan, ana ue
SIGNED to feel the public pulse IL
reads:
"To the people of Virginia: Ger
tain newspapers have recently com
,nantod on the alleged fact tha'
aon. citizens have moved away from
thu state because of the operation Of
tho new tax laws, and have attr'o-
uted this removal to the harshness
of the present methods Of disco'-
erinp taxable property. The state
tax board desires to be informed DIS
to the public feeling and conviction
on the following points:
81 Do you or not beheve a TAX
.ho,,ld br levied on all property, real
and personal, for the support OF the
government and of the public free
schools. and to pay the interest on
the public debt, and to pay pensions
9. # not, what property would you
exempt from taxation other than
that belonging to religious anu
charitable institutions, etc, already
exempt under the constitution? D.
Feeling that if large amounts OF
hitherto unassessed intangible prop
crty could be discovered and taxed,
the tax rate on all property could
be lowered, thereby better dlstripu-
ting and equalizing the burden on
all taxpayers, the general assembly
passed what is known as the seq
regation act, which reduced the
state tax on real and tangible per-
sonal property from thlrty-tVe
cents to ten cents on the 500; re-
duced the tax on bonds, notes and
other evidences of debt, and on
stocks other than those of Virginia
corporations, from an average rate
state and local, of $1.75 on the S1OC
to a state tax of IS cents on the
500, with an optional additional
local tax of not more than 80 cents;
reduced the tax on manufacturers

FIERCE BATTLES MARK
 TEUT0N CLASH RUMANIA

LONDON, Jan. Tt is believed that both Galatz and Fochani are doomed in Moldavia. The Teuton occupation is reported to be immi- nent. Mackenzen's Asistless drive is taking the Rumanians off their feet. The fighting with the Rus sians is savage beyond words, hand to hand combats are frequent with resulting losses that are enormous to both sides. The Teuton advance is great but the cost is tremendous. The Russians are met in strength de- spite all the moves of the Teutons

ECLIPSE WATCHED.

A good many took advantage of the fine opportunity afforded them by the clear weather to take good squint at the eclipse of the moon last night which took place on sche- duel time and departed as punctual- ly as arranged by the astronomers. The observation was made ideal on account of the wonderfully clear air and unclouded sky.

The ~helplessness Of her position
flashed in her mind. Her body trem-
bled. Her heart began to thump.
Adams headed into a wooded region
and after an hour or so stopped at the
abandoned silver mine before the
threshold Of the hut Of the Castillian
woman Of previous acquaintance.
He lifted the half-dazed girl very
gently and carried her into the hut.
1t was very dark inside. Placing her
in a chair, he uttered several sharp
sentences in the Granadian tongue.
Instantly a candle light appeared in
adjoining room and his aged friend
presented herself in the doorway, bow
ing low and reverentially.
Adams ordered the woman to pro-
vide food and refreshment. While
they waited he sat down and gravely
regarded Pearl.

hesitation, i've got to tell you some

She looked him sQuarely in the eyes.
A sudden inspiration had come to her.

She smiled family.
He snorted. Refreshments we're

whispered conversation about Pearl

not stammer.
When they were through talking,
Adams returned to PEARLS side. "Do

vaguely. "But promise me n thing.

Something that rang true in the

make that promise.
Shortly thereafter Adams arrived
with two ponies, and they babe the
Castilian a reluctant farewell.

first words.

Thus began a long and eventful
journey, one destined to become piv-

Together they foraged for things to
