Reduce the Land A..e..ment.

The request which the committee of the Farmers Protective League will lay before the state tax uiasion for substartial reduction valuations of farm lands for taxable purposes should be granted believe reduction of 40 per cent is asked for. That request is . most reasonable
 The present tax valuations of farm lands in this county were based the inflated prices at which much land was sold three and years ago Though the tax valuation was somewhat lower than those fictitious values it above the actual values of the lands. that if the present assessments are allowed stand will have to pay most disproportionate unjust share of the taxes The situation the left worse by the circum less this year than in previous years.
 It is true that just much money in the aggre- gate must raised to meet the expenses of govern nent as provided by the legislature The appropria- tions for the present biennium were greater than those for any preceding That throws still greater burden upon the who cannot be inn naedi&tey relieved by any economies of the admins tration. The money appropriated must be raised whether not 1t is expended
 The farmers be relieved only by the lowering cf their assessments. That of would mean increase of the rate but that would shift part If the unjust burden of the farmers upon all other classes of property.

DANGEROUS WORDS
Words can be just as dangerous as acts.
eY DR. FRANK CRANE tcopyright. 1921. by Frank Crane,

Words can be just dangerous acts.
 There is common notion that the right of free speech implies the right to say anything we please and relieves a man of all responsibility for his words.
 All that free speech means is that any person has a right to express his opinion. He has that right his opinion is crime, which it may easily be.
 For liberty nothing unless it means liberty to do wrong. We have that liberty, but to this also in any kind of orderly government, 1t attached the r@ sponsibility for the wrong we do-
 I am at liberty to rob bank or steal watch, but held responsible for this, and if commit such an act 1 should be punished for it.
 Every man should recognize that hard words are as dangerous brickbats, and if he gets to throwing them around promiscuousy he is liable for the damage he does.
 Almost any opinion we have could be stated in terms that would not cause offense
 All our discussion of mooted questions is spoiled by our use of jagged words, which is as dangerous as broken glass.
 Hard words are caused by our consciousness of the weakness of our position. They are symptoms of i% statement of is not sufficient and that the only way to make impression is by insult or abuse
 A man who is satisfied with the justice and impreg Inability of his position is content to state 1t Tn simple and inoffensive terms
 The small mind capable of passionate prejudice and incapable of faith takes the easy road of destructive inflammatory criticism when it starts out to remedy the mperfecions of society and government He does not that his words simply bitterness and an q tagonism and have no persuasion or effect 2 We very properly arrest who urges others to murder But is it not fully as wicked to urge people to murder or destroy government as 1t IS to e take the life of an individual? a Government means the life of all of us It is not perfect it probably will be perfect It is growth
 is the outcome of the best forefathers could do D And if are to make any progress we must go on from what have and improve it. Therefore the mav who advocates the destruction of government is not n only fool who conceives that the best way to make E tree bear fruit is to cut it down, but he is criminal who would bring untold damage to his fellow s men if only he vindicate some theory he has es- !, lpoused.
 In You think you please and you may speak as you please. But you please to speak and think in such way as to imperi the lives and destroy the property of your fellow the proper place for your E lspeaking and thinking is behind the bars of . r- lprison cell -

The Care Of Mt- Vernon
 If the government should take over Nit. Vernon it would find the estate in a remarkable state of preserva- tion- It is one of. the most satisfac- tory show places of the sort any where. and because everything in it is real souvenir of the place. There is no mere period furniture

Jamestown is now owned by the Society for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities.
 Whether the government can buy Mt. Vernon or Jamestown seems af present uncertain. Historic societies are generally attached to their an tiquities. and we have heard no news of either the Mt. Vernon or James town guardians rushing to take up a government offer.
 Attention has been called to the Virginia statute which permits the federal government to commanded private property for utilitarian pur- poses only. This would indicate that
