Virginia Boosts
Record Budget

RICHMOND. Feb. II R.-A
State budget for the next two
years totaling $685. million-of
which 1858. 100000 would come
from the general fund-has been
handed to the House Of Delegates
for action.
Nearly $40 million was added
to the budget. Virginia's largest
in history, during q marathon
hearing held by the House APP
preparations Committee from
$3.50 pm. to II pm. yesterday
New appropriations made by
1.-THE committee from the general
fund totaled 500 million. The
amended budget received unam-
imous approval Of the commit
tee.
The largest single item added
Ito the original 1855 million
budget was an appropriation OF
81 5000 set aside to place
State help for schools on q
basis Of current years attend
ance In 1878, the second year
Iof the biennium covered by the
budget.
State Police Pay Rise
Another SIS million was ap-
propriated to the literary loan
fund for school construction.
This addition was made at the
request Of Gov. Stanley.
The committee also appropri-
ated an additional $45O. 600 from
special funds to meet pay raises
for State police and added $l75,-
600 to the ALLEGATION for the
Division Of Motor Vehicles.
These were only some OF the
larger additions to the basic
budget submitted by the Gov
Iernor to the Legislature last
month.
To meet the new appropria-
tons the committee looked hard
and long at revenue estimates In
the original budget and In
creased them considerably.
Beginning in 1858. various
State officials - including the
Governor--would receive higher
salaries under the committees
action. Gov. Stanley had recon-
mended higher pay but the chm
mittee lifted some of his recon-
mendations by several thousand
dollars. The Governors salary
would be $4,000.
Legislation was offered today
to cut the States wholesale
license tax by one-half as q
means Of wooing new business
into the State.
Delegate Lewis McMurran of
Newport News proposed the re-
duction from 20 to 10 cents per
500 of gross purchases.
MIR. McMurran said the cut
was needed to put Virginia in
q more favorable position with
Maryland and North Carolina
In export-import businesses and
warehousing.
Tax Proposal Pushed

new Pope-Witten tax plan were

Indicated they'll support the bill,
which would levy a 2 per cent
ltax at the retail levy but permit
lower State income taxes.
Another controversial legisla-
tive package reached the floor
today. The Senate Roads Com
mittee last night unanimously
approved bills raising the weight
maximum for trucks from $4,000
to Sc. 800 pounds.
The legislation seemed certain
to stir up a sharp floor fight be-
cause of increases in fuel taxes.
The committee voted 9-6 to raise
the diesel oil tax from 6 to 10
cents. The truckers had agreed
to a 2-cent increase. but OBJ

The
Rambler
Legendary Message
Is Seldom Read
By JACK JONAS

There's a legend, struck in
bronze, on a wall at Twelfth
street and Pennsylvania ave-
nue. NV, but thousands who
pass it daily are unaware of 1t.
The legend, born in Cuban
jungles and popularized by an
American writer, concerns
Gen. Calixto Garcia y Iniguez,
hero of Cuba's re bellion
against Spain.
The generals bronzed face
locks out from "a marble
plaque affixed to the south
west corner of the Raleigh
Hotel, where the general died
of pneumonia December II,
1898.
He is the Gen. Garcia whose
name became well-known in
American households through
Ebert Hubbard's pamphlet,
"a Message to Garcia"
The hero of Hubbard's piece
was U. S. Army 1t. Andrew
Rowan, sent to Cuba in the
spring of 1893, not with a mes
sage, but with questions about
the strength of Gen. Garcia's
revolutionary forces and his
disposition to cooperate with
the United States against
Spanish Army forces in the
Caribbean island.
The mission was so success
full that Rowan was made a
lieutenant colonel of volun-
teers, and the errand brought
about cooperation between
American and revolutionary
forces in the capture of San.
tiago.
