TIE VIRGINIA DEBT

The exhibition which the governor or
me state and the Legislature are giving
IN regard to the Virginia, debt is nos
either eNfying or inspiring. Apparently
she governor declines to take the respon-
stbifity for suggesting 70 the Legislature
the. course to be pursued in the settle
1nent OF this controversy. The governor
Is. BY. law. the head Of the Virginia Deot
Commission. He has charge of the re-
sponsibility of meeting the Virginia
Commissioners. Of negotiating WITH
them. Of informing himself as 70 the
facts Of the controversy so far as 1t IS
possible for one man to do SO. and as
royernor Of the state it is his duty TO
recommend to the legislature the lines
Of action in an emergency Of any kind
The governor. being. apparently. very
tender Of his future political ASPIRATIONS
declines to take this responsibility or to
suggest to the Legislature what might
De done. OF ~uSl oosHS ~ ~" N''"'
1ntelligencer thinks it ought to be enough
for the legislature to place the respon-
Srtr1ity for action UT inaction clearly
where it belongs and then to go aheac
and do the things which. in its Judgment.
ought to be done.
l The Intelligencer has favored the re-
resistance to the Virginia debt claim so lon;
rs that resistance could be made honor
n6ly. 1t believes now that further re-
distance will not only be futile. but II
may DO costly, We cannot assume that

hardly afford 70 be placed before the
hEorld in the light OF an absconding or 4

;Srinha debt claim easily. Ne have the
kneans to do so.
Tho Intelligencer has pointed out
many times how from the natural gas
YAK alone it can obtain more revenue
knany times over than the interest on
.Hhe Virginia bonds will require. It Is
hfne to settle the Virginia debt on san
ktble lines, and it Is time also to takf
( hsso,ous measures to secure from the

THE LUXURY TAXES

The so+called luxury taxes in the new
Federal Revenue bill approach the
hcigh, 81 absurdity. They are based.
somewhat. on the plan Of Doctors pro
scrintiou. When a medical man finds
out all the things you like TO eat he
places them under the ban Fhis seems
to the principle upon which the tax
makers have acted. For the most part,
however. these taxes will ,fsect only
millionaires. or workers in ship yards
or mun;tion factories VINO else will
pay $500 for a necktie. $500 fsr shirt,
$500 for an umbrella 5000 for trunk
or So. 90 for a hand bag? However. the
greatest objection to such taxes is IL
heir inprncticability. The difficulty OF
figuring tho tax on every Special article
will add more than the percentage Of the
tax itself to the cost OF the article. A
simpler and far more elective tax would
have been percentage tax on the gross
amount of business done by the rner'
chant handling the gods. This tai
would be easy to figure. il could not have
been lodged: and it might easily hav'
been passed on to the general public
However. simplicity and busiaess sense
seem 10 be the very things that the tas
makers at Washington are anxious tc
avoid.

The Russian Soviet has accepted the
invitation to meet representatives OF the
Allies at Princess Island On the other
hand none of the anti-Bolshevik inter
ests have accepted this invitation, and
none will be parties to the conference.
The Allies Will be placed in the peculiar
position Of negotiating for peace with
enemies against, whom they have sent
their armies, and at the same time, their
friends in the Russ ian state are ignored.
From this state OF affairs 1t Is i'm posi-
bic to expect very satisfactory result.
