The system is rotten to the core; it discriminates ‘between two men of equal ability.by paying one ten times as much as the other;it. ‘exalts a mere clerk above the chief ~judge of the State and puts a me- diocre treasurer.over the Governor. The existence of the fee system is a cause of great unrest among the people of Virginia.The system itself is a monstrosity,an,inexcu- sable and antiquated scheme .for the enrichment of-a‘few individualsattheexpense,vof-the,State and’ the people.Hf the :GeneralAssemblywillwriteintolawGdVernorMann's recommendation it will rid the Com- monwealth of a mighty.injustice and a festering plague on the body politic:The system must go. ‘!eo - The Salisbury Post =suggests thatDemocratic speakers and.news- papers drop the word “tariff and use the word “tax”instead.Says the Post:iTheword‘tariff’is too indef- inite.There are hundreds of thou- sands of men who may be.broughttobelievethatitwould.be to:their advantage in some indirect,myste- rious way to volte for a tariff,butwhocouldnetbecajoledorcoerced into the ccnviction that it is to their individual imterest to vote to put an enormous tax.on everything they eat,wear and use. The suggestion ,is a good |.one. The general public doa not realize nor appreciate ‘he’fact that.the tariff is a tax;nor the more =im-: portant fact that a good part of the tarifftax collected from the ‘people ig not for-the:benefit’of the goy-erhment but for the bemefit of fa- vored ipdustries and that it is this: tax that piles up millions for.“BigBusiness.”The sovereigns .are Wottetimes ready to fight,bleed and die when a little extra tax is pro- posed for roads,schools,’or foi Bome public purpose that .benéfits all the people;and yet at the same timé they“are paying a heavy indi- “rect tax to favored industries witb-. out knowing.it and are so deceived that they go on voting for that tax.If the people of this country had to pay -just one time directly “what they pay indirectly on account of this pernicious system of tariff taxes,they ‘would “start something” €ood and strong within 24 hours.

The bill of Congressman Webb, of North ©Carolina,designed’to prevent the:.shipment of -whiskeyintoprohibitionterritoryfor.unlaw- tul purposes,has been ofdered .re- ported from the sub-committee of the judiciary committee March 1, ;and beginning March 4 the’friends land opponents of the bill will be heard for four days.The bill has the endorsement of both the Na- tional Temperamce Association and the National Amti-~Saloon League. If the bill becomes a law the shipment or transportation of any, and all kinds.of:spirituous liquors: into prohibition.territory,which is intended for use in violation of the law *in such:State,is’prohibited This measure is considered by pro- hibitionists in Congress to be.-the be and some say the only -meas- ure which will effectually curb the “blind tiger”traffic in prohibition States.In other words;ithe —billwould.créate a Federal law:as strong as any State prohibition law pen in force. The radical element of the Amti-. |Saloon League advocated a’measure |which would prohibit the shipment of whiskey even to an individual in a prohibition.State;.This.was op- posed by.the conservative element, who readily saw that such a meas ute could never be passed by Con- gress,and if it should pass,it |would be declared-unconstitutional byntheySupreme Court.Mr,-Webb’s bill does not infringe.upon §the rights ‘of ‘any citizen;it merely eliminates those who desire to break the prohibition law.
