Ten Opportunities Arc Mel

W/li1N The Times Dispatch presented in
w It's sunday issue Ten Opportunities for
constructive charity to enable its readers to
give well-directed and inspirational express
sion 10 the Christmas spirit, it had every con-
fdence that they would promptly take ad-
vantage OF the offer and subscribe the full
amount required to extend the relief needed
Similar opportunities have been presented
annually for several years past, and none of
them ever has fallen short But 1t was hardly
prepared Tor the agreeable surprise that
awaited on Monday, when from one of Rich
monds most noble-hearted citizens came a
check covering the full amount of money
called for by the Ten Opportunities only one
condition being spcciied--that the name of
the donor OF the check would be withheld
from the public. This condition The Times
Dispatch reluctantly accepts, for it would be
proud for all the world TO know the name
OF this citizen who has OWNED the true
philosophy Of lfe--that it is more blessed to
give than to receive Hence, he has exemp!i-
fed the true Christmas spirit and already
has his sure reward i'll the inspiration that
mas come to his life in the knowledge that
he has been the means of contributing To
the comfort and happiness Of ten needy
families in Richmond. who, but for such con-
structive charity, would have found the light
OF Christmas JOY lacking in their lives.
III his noble charity. this giver has neither
monopoiized the Christmas spirit for il Is
as Donndless as the ocean If you Will only
make room for il in our hearts nor cornered
all the opportunities for sane Christmas
giving, for the poor we have always with
us and there are numerous other oppor-
tunitics in Richmond where Christmas cheer
will be lacking unless his example in spirit
finds imitation in searching out and relieving
the many other cases Of necessity which exist
in tho city. When Christ said "She hath
done what She could He indicated the meas
ure OF service that includes every one who is
moved by the Christmas spirit to brighten the
lives OF others and enlarge their own Bless
ings upon the head OF the man who had tbe
wisdom 10 recognize in himself trustee q.

Opportunities as meana OF faithful COM

NEW TAX LAW ON TRIAL.

Some of the county assessors have
resigned because, under the new tax
system, they could not complete the
work as required in the time allot-
ted; and the pay would not justify
the employment of sufficient help.
They discovered that the assistance
rendered by the representatives of
the Tax Commission in going over
the State explaining the beauty and
simplicity of this reform" in assess
ments does little. if anything, toward
Tightening the burden of the assessor
who was already required TO do more
work for the money received than
any other official in the State. Now
his labors are greatly increased
without any provision for additional
pay or help. Then whes the assess
ment is made, il il is not what the
Commission at Frankfort thinks it
should be, the work must be "Ssne
over" at the eounty's expense.
Every time our attention is called
TO this new tax law we are reminded
of the placard left on the back OF a
Westerner who stole a pony and was
"strung-up." II read: This was a
very bad man in SOME respects and
a d-n sight worse in others"
Much has been said Of this law as
great revenue producer, and time
and trial will prove or disprove that
proposition. Should il be the means
of bringing into light and taxation
the hidden wealth without working
