President Taft had nhnwn a lark of
hack bone in regard to the bond issue

Senator 1’hamberlain compared Hie !
utterances of President Roosevelt and
President Taft on the bond issue; and ;
added:
"Our distinguished President seems
to have modified his views to suit
aome of those of our ultra-conserva
tive friends in congress. If he had
gone out with a scalping knife or a
big stick to compel these conserva

him and for the country.
BOLLING PROBES
R. & H. accounts!
City Engineer Bolling handed the |
Committee on Streets a large batch of
bills that had been presented to him
by the Richmond and Henrico rail
way Company when he appease! be -?
fore the committee at Friday nights
meeting.
He explained that the railway coni
pany wanted him to approve them, ac
cording to the requirements of the
franchise ordinance, so that they m’ght
be settled. He said that some of the
accounts were not propejdy cert tiled;
hence he had declined to approve the
bills.
The accounts are to be settled out
of the 1100,000 deposit made by the
company when the last extension of
franchise was granted.
The committee declJid to instruct
the*engineer to satisfy himself os to
the accuracy of the accounts. The
chairman will then sign the necessary
certificate.
Samuel I*. Kelley, of counsel for the
company, explained that contracts for
steel and other materials for *he via
duct and railway have been closed and
that the materials are now being!
shipped.
It was admitted that certain changes i
have been made in the original plans, j
The committee therefore decided to
have the changes noted and submitted
to the city engineer for his approval

VIRGINIA LAWMAKERS AND
LAWS WHICH THEY PROPOSE
■'1 thing the Senate acted unwisely
when It declined to concur with the
Huuw In the adoption of the consti
tutional amendment providing for a j
ninety-day session of the Legislature,
instead of a sixty-day term,'' said Sen- •
ator Kchols, of Augusta. Saturday.
"The State of Virginia is too large
and her Interests are too great for
sixty days of legislative consideration
and deliberation to suffice. The ses
sions must eventually l*e extended,
and the General Assembly of 1*10 j
might Just as well have made the
addition of thirty days to the term
prescribed by the Constitution.
"With only sixty days in which to
transact all the business, to Introduce,
discuss and pass bills made necessary
by a review of the past two years,
and those regarded as necessary In
coming years, everythin* and every
body is rushed. The Senators, and l
dare say the mtmliers of the House
of Delegates, vote hurriedly, and of
tentlons do not know what they vote
for, or the effect of the laws they
pass, until after they have gone home
after adjournment and read the hills
or review of session. I am sorry the
Senate could not see the wisdom of
adopting this very important amend
ment.”
The amendment came up for the
consideration of the Senate a few
moments before adjournment Friday
afternoon. The Senate, oti motion of
Senator Halsey, had taken up for con
sideration all four of the amendments
which passed the House last week, j
The constitutional changes providing
for the passage of bills In the Gen
eral Assembly after two readings In
stead of three, and giving the people
the right to elect the county treas
urers and commissioners of revenue ;
were adopted. Both will be submit- j
ted to the voters for the State.
The Senate then began the election ;
of the judges. After the election it
seemed difficult to get the Senate back I
to the amendments. When the third i
amendment providing for the exten- i
slon of the Assembly's session was
called motion was made to pass it by. !
As vote as to whether the amend
ment should be dropped was taken,
the Scnate^fln&lly voted on the
amendment, seventeen Senators vot
ing for its adoption and twenty-two
against it, thus killing it so far as j
this session of the Legislature is con
cerned.
Chairman Yarrell, of the House and
Senate Joint Committee on Fish and,.
Game, has invited everybody Interest
cd in the hunting and fishing laws
In Virginia to attend the meeting of
his committee at the Jefferson note) '
on the night of Thursday, Feb. 10. :
It is expected this will be the most
largely attended committee meeting
hold in recent years. i
Hearings on the Strode bill to fix
the liability of employers, will be
held by the Senate committee on
Courts of Justl e Monday afternoon,
the Mount Vernon Avenue Associa
tion Federal debt on Friday morn
ing; prohibiting forged recommenda
tions being ua«4 by applicants for
positions. Wednesday afternoon, the
bill providing for Use breaking of the
Baylor survey, Friday morning; all
the automobiles Introduced in the
House will be the subject of a hear
ing Monday nlgfclf
Whether the' bounties through
which railroads run should share in
the money paid as taxes by the cor
porations, or whether alt the money
should be paid into the treasuries of
ultias, where the railroad’s offices are
located. Is the subject taken up (
by the Senate Committee on Roads!
and . Internal • Navigation- Friday, j
and probably will have to con- i
eider on several other days. Senator
Strode Introduced a bill providing
that instead of letting the cities take
all the taxes on the rolling stock of
the railroads, the oohntlee should be
allowed lo levy taken on alt the egitfo
fnent kept in the railroad yarde with
in their bounds. ^
9R» tunfg . of the
stated by Senator Lassiter Rriday,
means the loss ol taxes on ff.000.6A9
ivor h of property to Richmond, $ #,
900,000 worth to Norfolk, 11,300,00*
north to Petersburg, "and the bank*
rupting of Roanoke.”
The Corporation Commission room
In which the hearing began .Yester
day and will continue until both aides
have thoroughly argued the matter,
ivas taxed to Its capacity by attor
neys, railroad officials .uid represen
tatives of chamber! of commerce from
* number of cities. Opponents ot
the bill challenged the t institution
silty of the bill.
After the committee agreed to let
rach side have eight hours for argu
ment, Senator Strode made a state
ment in support of his bill. He point
ed to numerous dec idem* In which
the Supreme Court of Virginia had
ruled against the taxation of railroad
rolling stock by counties, but in
variably supplementing its verdict
«1th "we rule this way, not because
ive are convinced that It Is equitable,
bat because it is the only ruling that
an be made as the law now stands."
Mr. Strode said the matter was an
urgent subject for legislation. Similar
bills have been Introduced at previous
sessions but failed of passagg.
Mayor Jones and City Attorney
Massle, of Ncjvport News, spokg in
ravor of the bill. The constitution
»ltty of the measure was defended
by former Judge A. P Phlegar, who
represented the city of Bristol.
After these four supporters of tha
Mil had tfen heard, the chairman
»f the committee announced that tha
bearing would be continued at >
b’clotk Monday night.
DROP EXAMINERS
ONE AT A TIME.
The House committee on schools gnd
colleges Thursday afternoon tn execu
ive session took up tha question of
•etalnlng the board of school examin
ers, but deferred Anal action until next
ruesday. It is understood that a com
cromlse will lie reached under which
he examiners will be gradually dropp
Before going Into executive session
lie committee heard Superintendent
SfCKleston. of the department of Pub
is Instruction, who urged the contln
tanee of the examiners, whose work,
ie said, had been of vast benefit to th«
iitbiic school system of the Old Do
nlnion. Their abolition he said would
lerlously cripple the free educational
acuities of the State. r
A letter In behalf of the retention
>f the examiners from the Rev. l>r.
lames Cannon, Jr;, principal of tha
Jlackstone Female Institute, was read
jefore the committee.
Superintendent a* Schools, West, of
-■ouisa county, also spoke and referred
o splendid work of the examiner* In
its district and urged that they be
•stained.
Dr. Nolan, of tfeudoun eounty, wag
lefore the lawmakers and vigorously
irotested against the treatment thfe
lection has received in the matter of
lublie schools. He declared that the
pitchers are insufficiently rewarded by
he State for their services and con
lequentty there has been a backward
itep In educational work since the
Confederate War. He endeavored to
>olnt out why this Is true. The com
nlttee agreed that II would be Impos
dble to judge the progress of the
hate along educational lines by the
auditions prevailing In one locality,
iuperintendent Kggleston gave figure*
o show that Virginia In the last five
•ears had progressed more In the mat
er of public instruction than any
itate tn the Union.
The question of high schools tM
hen brought up, some members of the
lommlttee declaring that too much at
entlon was paid to high schpa)# and
10,t .enough to, primary. Mr.. Eagles
on relieved the mlnda of the sommlt
