anniversary of this paper. To-
gay we have been in the print
ing business one year. We doub-
Hess nave made mistakes and
know that the paper has not be-
en- all that we had hoped it to be
yet we have done the best that
we could under the circumstan-

continue many more years. Our
BUSINESS has grown from the
very start and is better today
than ever. We are proud of the
fact that we have not missed a

We hope that we have been of
some service to the community
in which we have labored, and
want to be of greater service in
the future. We desire to express
our appreciation of all who have
helped us the past year, and we
hope they will continue to aid
us in the years to come. Let us
all labor for a better and great

for Virginia.
He himself, he said. bad en-
parked in the newspaper bust
ness at the age of Is. He felt
that he was in a position to
know the newspaper game. He
took the occasion to express his
deep appreciation and gratitude
for the generous support accof-
ded progressive state measures
by the press during his admin
istration. He had adopted a
policy of calling newspaper men
into conference before embark
ing on his major programs.
When his policies were such as
commended themselves to- the
papers, he said he felt safe in
going ahead. The credit for the
present progress in the state
was due largely to the press.
Governor Byrd expressed the
conviction that no finer body of

men could be gathered together
than those comprising the pre-
sent General Assembly. He rec
commended the adoption of the
whole program of state advanc-
ement hinged largely upon their
passage. With regard to tax re-
duction, the Governor said he
thought it best for the states
interests SO as to adjust the tax
system as to invite large indu-
stries into Virginia. This, he ar
gued, would increase industrial
values and, ultimately lower the
general tax rate.
The repeal of the state tax on
land and ON tangible property
had saved to citizens formely af

q commission for the investigat
lion of the problems Of the farm
-er, who was the real backbone
of the Commonwealth and who
stood so sorely in need Of relief.
The Governor mentioned the
fact that taxes collected from
new industries might be distri-
hrted to build local roads or to
improve local schools and there's
by reduce the local tax burden.
