c. WALTER MAPP
IS CLARENDON
GUEST
Democratic Candidate for
Governor Of Virginia Favors
Tax Cut

ARLINGTON COUNTY. Aug. L.
In the presence Of more than 400
persons, who despite the inclement
weather, visited the Clarendon
Firemen's carnival last night, State
Senator Frank L. Ball introduced
q. Walter Mapp, candidate for
the Democratic nomination for
governor.
Mr.. Mapp was given rousing
reception. Speaking on taxes, ne
said that the citizens of Virginia
were today paying too much in
taxes for what they were receiving.
and he stated that he favored
reduction. As for the fee system,
he said the system was all wrong,
that while he had nothing against
any Of the fee officers, they were
being overpaid. All officers should
be put on salary OASIS. mol
only must the fee system be
changed, but the State must re-
duce the number of officers.
There are too many.
In one building in the city OF
Richmond, there are more than
900 clerks, he said.
Another thing needed in Vir-
ginia is better schools, he said.
Today there is too much politics in
the school system.
Meeting with the Arlington
Citizens association, Edward Webb,
E. Bean and r. o. Robinson,
representatives from the the
chamber of commerce OF Fairfax
county, plans for the proposed
Monticello highway were discussed,
asserted L. CIoyd Byars today.
Not only are the citizens of Airing
ton and Fairfax counties interested
ia this movement, but the citizens
Of Charlottesville are arranging to
send a delegation to Arlington
county in the near future, to assist
in carrying the project to sue
cessful conclusion.
Entering by a side window, thieves,
at an early hour Friday morning
entered the drug store Of Doctor
w. r. Boyer, of Clarendon, carrying
away a quantity of fountain pens,
flash lights, watches and pocket
books.
From the methods used in break
ing up the cases containing the
fountain pens, Doctor Boyer said
it indicated the work of boys.
This is the third time in three
years that the store has been en-
tered, asserted Doctor Bower.
