Word received from Richmond 20
day is to the effect that there seems
to be strong inclination among the
members of the legislature to in
crease the state taxes and that they
are pressing additional approprla-

made by business men of this city
today it may be inferred that the
aforesaid legislators are quite Liable
to hear something concerning the
matter before they are many days
older, as much opposition is being
expressed in regard to increasing the
burdens of the people just at this
time when the government is max
ing such unusual demands upon them
for money with which to carry Oh
the war. Considerable feeling was
shown in the matter by several
nrominent gentlemen who were dis
cussing the subject this forenoon.
