Special Dispatch to The Star.
RICHMOND, Va, September 81
Game is more abundant in Virginia
this season than for SO years. Quail,
duck, sora, plover and ali other birds
are to be found everywhere that
hunters are allowed to go. But in
many instances there are large areas
of land closed to the sportsmen-the
lands which have been leased at low
prices and where there are in many
cases moonshine plants in the thick
cts and gullieS.
Posting of the land keeps out the
hunters and possible location of the
plants. Then, too, the tenants or
occupants of the land are disposed to
reserve to themselves the premises
for which they pay rent, thereby
keeping the game for themselves.
Thousands of persons are making ap-
plication for hunting licenses. and
they have been rejected in scores of
cases.

VIRGINIA TAX RATE
Statement Before Demo-

Platform for 1925 Primary.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


RICHMOND, Va, September 81
'The State will have to spend less
money or increase taxes" said Sem
ator G.. Walter Mapp OF Accomac here
at meeting of the State Democratic
committee. Il am opposed to any in
crease in the tax rate. There Will be
more money by reason of the increase
in values of property, which is nat
ural, but there will not be enough in
crease TO wipe out the deficit. l have
no criticism of the management of
affairs. but the fact is that one of
two things will have to be done
spend less or raise more. The people
are taxed enough at this time"
This is the first direct statement of
any Gubernatorial candidate, and it
is believed to be the outline of his
platform for the nomination. In pri-
vate conversation Senator Mapp de-
rlared he would not formally open his
campaign until after the presiden-
tial election. There is still question
regarding the intentions of Senator
Byrd.

There are many committees of the
counties and cities which are without
legal existence. For years some of
them have not complied with the law
of the party and organized each two
years since 1901, but the old COM
mitteeS have held over. That was one
of the reasons which actuated the
State committee in its decision in the
Cumberland County dispute, holding
that neither of the factions had COM
piled with the law, mad both, elected
In June, were thrown out. Had this
not been done. the question of the
legality of many of the other county
and city committees might have been
attacked and there would have been
controversies in every direction.
