LEGISLATURE AND TAXES
Out of the ten amendments to the
Constitution proposed by the commis
sion appointed for the purpose of look
ing into the matter, eight of them
ieem to be bevond all question all
right. The seventh amendment about
taxes may be more or less discussed
and controverted, and the ninth
nmenrlment about charters for cities
and towns will probably be much con
troverted.
The State Constitution now provides
for a uniform assessment throughout
the state, also uniform tax rate
throughout the State. This uniform
restriction, according to the amend
ment, is to be eliminated, so as to
leave the legislature to classify diff
erent property and hold the money
from each different class subject to
appropriation for specific purposes.
This latter is not part of the provision
of the amendment, but it is what the
Legislature may do if the whole sub
ject is left to the Legislature.
Everybody knows that the present
system of uniform assessments and
uniform taxation does not work, not
even approximately. Therefore it
would seem desirable to authorize the
Legislature to make such laws unre
stricted by the Constitution as might
be available to get a better system
of taxation. It is thought by many
classification of propert- and seg
regation of tax money on different
classes of property, and then apply
ing the principle of local taxation
wherever possible, and then passing
laws to bring out personal property
for taxation, which is now. in hiding,
might tend greatly to benefit our tax
ing system.
The Leyislature would be free to
adopt the present system if it thinks
best to do so, or it might make the
taxes on all corporations go to the
State, the taxes on all real estate and
live stock go to the county, the taxes
on all real estate and buildings in a
town.and also personal property, go to
the town. There would be an infinite
variety of possible methods of taxing
open to be considered by the Legisla
ture. If the amendment carries, it
would then be the duty of the Legis
lature to formulate a taxing system
unrestricted by the Constitution

SUMMER CONSTIPATION DAN
GEROUS Constipation in summer time is
more dangerous than in the fall, win
er or spring. The food you eat is of
ten contaminated and is more likely
to ferment in your stomach. Then
you are apt to drink much cold water
during the hot weather, thus injuring
your stomach. Colic, Fever, Pto
maine Poinsoning and other ills are
natural results. Po-Do-Lax will keep
you well, as it increases the Bile, the

Travis Fry, a white man aged
about 35 years, died at the county

is doubted, however, by reason of the
fact that he was a victim of pellagra
and his mind was affected by the dis
ease. Governor Craig thi week honored

Virginia for W. D. Talbot, a young
