1t is estimated that about $725.,
GOO will be collected under the old
inheritance tax law for the year
ending June 30 next, or about FIVE
times as much as was collected for
the year ending 1916, when the col
lection amounted to $i56,73431.
The collecting for the four inter
vening years were as follows: year
ending June 80, 1917, 1865, 966S so:
for 1918, $33S.sS5; for 1919, $3.50.
02439; for 1920. $321,13136.
Because of the large exemptions
under the law Of West Virginia,
taxes are collected from only about
one-third of the estates reported.
The total number reported in the
course of year ranges from 200

REDUCTION OF REpRESENTA
TIONl

Hon. John II. Adams of Dubuque.
Iowa is now chairman of the Repub.i.
can National Committee. One of tht,
most important acts of this great Or
ganization was to reduce the party re-.
presentation In the Southern States
Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi. Sout;,
Carolina and Texas lost delegates in
this respect. Hon. Henry Lincol-,
johnson is reported to have led th,
Tight against this reduction. He los,
out by vote of 35 to H.

this movement means ut this time,
Does it foreshadow a movement on
the part of the Republican leaders 20
reduce the congressional representa-
tlon in the southern States? If L.
does. then the Inc of consistency has
been observed in this movement. II
not, it forc-shadovs gloomy DAYS ahead
for the Republican organizations in
these States. In all OF the States
hailcu, lllN-Wh1tc organizations
have sprung up.
In his fight Hon. Henry Lincoln
johnson had the support of the white
organizations also affected and Hon.
II. l.. Rcmmcll of Arkansas was for.
ward in lining up with him. We sh
watch with interest, the result of th.
movement.
Colorcd men are fighting for their
political existence inside of the Rcpun.
lean Party. The mistake now being
made by the Republican leaders is iii
prcsuming and accepting MS Il fact
that The Democrats, who lined I'D ia
the support Of the Republican cnnl

can Party to remain. They came III
to rcbukc the Wilson brand of Do

There is no need for the use of riot
guns in Richmond. for tn" .eaSon tna
co orcd folks will not p,cc,pitatc :,
riot, when the police arc armed with
! rcvolvers and the white folks. rvcn II
they bring about the riot Will not b,
fired upon by the officers arm cG with
the riot guns. Colorcd people here
abouts are law.abiding ard arc gen
orally disposed to recognize the AIT
tho-ity vested in these citizens, Goth
cd in these blue uniforms and rcprcsen
ting the majesty of nc law.
We make these remarks in view Of
the reported riotous condition exist
ing in cd Manchester last Monday
night and which condition brought
about the dispatch of fly white po.
liccmcn to this district, there being
no colorcd officers in this neighbot-
hood. The cause was the alleged 1T.
tack made upon two Colorcd girls,
Misses Emma Byrd and Abbic Neal by
two white men, whom these girls ait.
erwards identified. The capturing OF
the white men was really what cauScu
the trouble. Henry Conway and G. H.
Brown were locked up without bail.
In passing, it may be we'll to state
that the Police Department showed
rare skill and judgment III The scIc. :
ton Of the police officers sent over to
that section. They could have either
made trouble or avoided trouble anil
they selected the latter course. We
have not as yet been able to learn he
cause for sending IN Il riot call. Co.
orcd citizens hcrcahouts are law-ahid
ing and those Of SwanSDoro are aa
pcaccahlc as any in the whole country.
When the whole affair is siftcd. ii
Will be found that it was Il ease OF
"much ado about nothing"
The police. with their rio. guns diG
not quiet any disturbance on the par
OF the colorcd people for the very
good reason that there was no diStur
bancc to quiet. No shots were fired ut
