when Senator r. Lee Trfnkles arrived
at the committee chamber when the
members were hopelessly disa greed
and on the point OF adjourning, with a
compromise proposal which met with
the approval of a majority OF the
members and ultimately passed both
the senate and house.
Senator Trinkla's proposal was an
appropriations of ssS6,oa6 during the
next two years for state aid to coun'.
" roads. coupled with figures show
ing that the plan OF taxation favored
by the committee would produce
sufficient revenue To allow this, meet
the federal aid, in so far as it had
been recommended by the Virginia
good roads association; and still leave
a small balance in the treasury.
The general property tax was in
creased from three cents to ten and
merchants and incomes paid the ma
for portion OF the balance. The
merchants license tax was increased
from IS to $40 where purchases do
not exceed $1,000 and from $40 to
$40 where the purchases do not ex-
coed $4,000. Over $4,000 was raised
by this means and approximately
s!12,ooe was realized by tho increase
OF $4,000. Several other subjects OF
taxation were considered and the next
general assembly viii be furnished

production tax on all mineral indus

viso that 1t applied only to trusts or

this would make conviction doubly

WILL THE GERMANS SIGN?

Many Germans continue talking along their old arrogant style, with threats that if they are not suited with the peace treaty, they will de- cline to sign it. Then they will main tain an attitude of passive resistance that will keep Europe in a state of turmoil. They threaten to open tht doors wide to BoIshevisIn, and thus attempt to bring down the entire ia brio of civilization all over the world. Which scares many timid people.
 The Germans long ago proved themselves great buffers. Where would they be left if they carry out their threats They would be with out the raw materials they so great ly need for a restoration of their in dustries. Cotton, rubber, copper would be very scarce, or non-ex- istent.
 When they hand back stolen AL sace and Lorraine and the Saar val ley. they will lack available supplies of iron and steel. Potash Is likely to be short for their crops. They will be cut off from the ocean, and can get nothing from chaotic Russia. They will think many times before deliberately going hungry, and con demning themselves to idleness and anarchy.
 As for Germany going Bolshevist, it is not likely. A nation brought up for centuries on an ordered life, will not in q moment throw away all dis cipline. They have something to gain by permitting g. stage show of Bol- shevism. It scares the Allies. Even if they did go Bolshevist, 1t would kill their power of economic pro duction, and keep them laundering in misery while the allies recover economic balance. After making up very bad faces and saying very bad words Germany will sign whatever is offered.
 No one need think that even then Germany will be suffering too much. No indemnity that can possibly be demanded will pay a quarter of what the allies spent to maintain their civilization against the pirates.
