Special Dispatch TO The Star.
RICHMOND, Va, February co
President Alderman of the University
of Virginia has proposed q unique
tax to raise the money that the uni
rersity is demanding that it may ex-
tend it's capacity to care for the hun
dreds of students who are demanding
chance to get an education. He
suggests that the state impose and
collect a tax of 10 cents pound on
all candy sold in the state at or above
IS cents Il pound. He said that even
if five or six miles of highways were
could be provided to insure the
university getting $75o,000 from an
other source to meet the $250.oO0
, asked by the university from the
state.
Unfavorably Considered.
The matter was passed by in the
committee which heard the matter,
the reason being that the state ap-
parently has not the money with
which to discharge the existing debts
The same reason was given Tor
postponing indefinitely the two prop
ositions looking to having the consti-
tuition amended so that the credit of
the state might be given TO the pro)-
ect for 4 bond issue for the develop
ment of Hampton roads, which is one
thing on which the people of that
section are united. The state, 1t was
held, would be making a wise and
permanent investment; that the reVe-
nues for interest and redemption
could be taken from the fees for
wharfage and other purposes, and that
the increase in taxation would be that
much for permanent fund for the
state
New Inheritance Tax.
4 bill has been presented in the SEN
ate by Senator WoodSon. representing
Nelson and Amherst, which is along
new lines. and which will, if it becomes
a law, result in bringing many mlillonS
into the treasury. The bill is one that
limits to S4,00O.O0o the Inheritance tax
that can be collected in this state, re-
gardless of the estate that may be in
volyed. This bill would make it pos
sible for a man or woman with many
millions to establish a home here and
to have their securities of all sorts
listed at the low rates obtaining, and
then at their death to have their es-
tate pay the maximum named Ill the
bill, thus saving many millions to the
heirs.
Senator Woodson pointed out that al
ready there are many persons or great
wealth who have homes in Virginia,
and that under this law they can make
Virginia their permanent domicile, get
! the advantage of the taxation and be
assured that the state will take a small
portion of their wealth when the time
comes to distribute it to their heirs.
The bill appeals to great many
persons, and it is expected that it will
become a law. and should it operate as
large increase in revenues in the next
few years. as the tax on intaugibleS of
all sorts would be paid under the Viz
Ginia laws.

tee in seating the delegates at large
from Arkansas under National Com
mitteeman H. L. Remmel. The vic
tories gained by Johnson and How
ard, who renewed their own cases,
were greeted by wild cheering ON the
part of their delegations as we'll as
many negro spectators.

cision in the Georgia case. In the

der" in recognizing J. L. Phillips as
