THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, MONDAY, APRIL 16, 1917
LAPP FAVORS BETTER SYSTEM FOR TAX LEVY
Body blows were landed on the bipartisan plan to; elect delegates at large to the constitutional convention by John A. Lapp In an address before the Constitutional Forum Sunday afternoon in First Presbyterian church. "The scheme Is unthinkable in a democracy," he said. He added that the agitation for a bi-partisan selection was dying out. Lapp, who is state legislative librarian, spoke on "Taxation." President Robert L. Kelly presided and a general discussion followed the address. About 150 persons attended the meeting. The speaker advocated a taxation section in the new constitution which will leave the legislatures free to care for tax problems. He favors a classified property tax, which, he says. Is equivalent to an Income tax. "There is no odium attached to taxdodging now," be said. "We all are tax-dodgers under the present system."
Lapp expressed himself in favor of confiscation of large Incomes over a
certain point as a means of raising the war credit. He said he believed an Income of a half million dollars should be sufficient and that the government should take all over that amount

The crop is estimated at 1.052,000,000 bushels for France, Great Britain and Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands. Canada, the United States, Switzerland and Japan, as compared to 1,216.000,000 bushels last year, and to 1,337,000,000 bushels for the ftveear average period of 1909 to 1913. MINING CONTINUES DESPITE STRIFE
CAPETOWN, April 16.-The gold mining industry Is almost the only one which has enjoyed freedom from interruption owing to the war. This is accounted for in a summary prepared by the Transvaal Chamber of Commerce as due to "the national importance and the essential nature of the industry both through the necessity of its products to the Imperial government and the fact that its discontinuance would mean a chatoic condition of affairs in South Africa."
HAVE WEDDINGS WITHOUT RINGS LONDON, April 16. A manufacturer of wedding rings has just failed in an effort to get the military tribunals to declare his work of national Importance justifying military exemption. "Do you think weddings would cease If there were no rings?" asked the head of the tribunal. "I cannot say that," replied the manufacturer, "but we do a good trade, nd so far as it encourages marriage. It is certainly of national importance." The tribunal refused his appeal declaring that wedding rings came under the head of jewelry as "purely a luxury business." ARRANGE TO ALLOW MOTHERS TO WORSHIP

Mothers who attend the morning services may bring their small children and leave them In the basement where they will receive careful attention during the sermon.

Honored by Page

Young Men See New Opportunity in Military Life
Many reasons for their desire to enlist are given by the young men who daily visit the recruiting office. Some of them are: I wanted to help my country. Since there is war, I am needed. My uncle in the service wrote me of the good things.
I attended a patriotic meeting. Here
I am. I wanted to learn a trade. The newspapers said President Wilson wanted men. I want to learn to fight. A magazine article got me Interest ed. I want to see the world. I am a carpenter and by the time my enlistment runs out I will be a better carpenter. I want to learn aviation. The advantage to learn something appealed to me. I'm in a rut and the army will get me out of It. I knew I could better myself in the government service. I want to learn to be a gunner.
