present highway system good. and believes
the State should build to the limit Of Its
financial ability. But he would approach
the problem sanely and conservatively, duly
recognizing the present uncertain factors of
probable income from taxation and Federal
aid. He would plunge the state into, no
debt that was not absolutely necessary to
its best interests.
Mr.. Tucker realizes keenly the conditions
resultant upon the war, that the whole
social fabric OF the people has been disar-
ranged and it will require years perhaps to
restore them to normal. Having in mind the
sore burdens the people already bear, he
would never consent to recommend an in
crease OF the rate of taxation in Virginia
for any purpose" His position is strength
ened particularly by the fact Of increased
taxation under the recent reassessment Of
real estate.
An educator himself, the cause of schools
is close to Mr.. fuckers heart. He would
labor toward an improvement of the present
system, adding strength to it wherever it
may be weak, and he would increase the
pay of teachers in accordance with the
States increasing financial ability.
An encouraging and progressive note is
his Endorsement Of the primary system of
selecting candidates for public office. 1t
might be bettered by amendment, he be-
lieves, but it should stand against any and
all assaults OF the reactionaries, particularly
in view OF the fact that reversipn to the
old convention system would in effect dis
franchise our new voters
On the present modern business system
in the State government, Mr.. Tucker would
build. He would extend the admirable bud
get system to every department, continue
and enlarge the scope of the purchasing
agent amend the workmen's compensation
law to include policemen and firemen am
the penitentiary, fulfill the States every
duty to its wards in the various institutions,
and provide decent pensions for our honored
Confederate veterans.
Mr.. Tucker touches briefly, but forcefully,
upon law enforcement, and no one who
knows him will doubt him when he SAYS
he will stand uneQuivocably for the en-
forcement Of every law that the people have
written upon their statute books While he
opposed the eighteenth and nineteenth
amendments to the Constitution on strictly
constitutional grounds, just as he opposes
now every invasion of the Federal govern
ment into rights reserved to the States, he
accepts the decision in each instance and
II elected will give the power of his office
to their enforcement
The address is just such frank, manly
statement as Virginia expected Mr.. Tucker
to make. 1t is constructive in every phase,
holding out no promises that cannot be full
filed yet encouraging the State Mt large to
look forward under his administration TO
sane program Of public achievement along
both governmental and business lines that,
will place it in the very forefront of Amer
ica's progressive Commonwealth. 1t is. too.
a complete and incisivc answer to every
charge lodged against him by an opposition
that as yet has failed 10 offer to the yir-
ginia electorate one sound, suggestive idea

Nigilant in Peace

A LTliOuGH President Harding has been
a Commander-in-Chief OF the American
Navy less than two months the occasion of
his review in Virginia waters Thursday of
its powerful Atlantic Fleet inspired i'm
promptu utterances which indicate he has
become thoroughly mbued with it's sririt
Il am" he told officers and men assembled
about him on the flagship Pennsylvania,
very confident that you live and breathe
the spirit of this republic. The United
States of America does not want anything
on earth that does not belong to it, it does
not want anything that is not rightfully our
own. no territory, no payment, no tribute.
We do want that which is righteously our
own, and, by the eternal, we will have that"
The .note of sincere approval OF the senti-
ment thus voiced in the enthusiastic cheers
with which both officers and men responded
showed that he had scored with them.
Very fttingly. the Presidents remarks
leading up to this statement was a message
Of peace, which Is the mpelling motive of
our national life. Officers and men of the
navy. as we'll as the entire body OF civilians
are sincerely committed to the under
lying principles wrought into our institu-
tions which make for peace that each wishes
the occasion may never again arise when
we shall be compelled to fire n gun in war;
and if, as the President expressed the be-
lief. "all the governments on earth were
impelled by the same motives as our own
this world would be at peace forever, start
ing from today"
But such motives do not influence the
attitude OF the whole world toward war,
and IL bchooycs the American people TO be
vgilant in looking after their own security
by keeping in suitable posture of defen-
sive preparedness to meet any and every
menace from whatever source until changed
conditions in the world betoken that a new
spirit and new purpose everywhere gov
ern its conduct The navy is our first line
