FROM CALHOUN COUNTY.
Taxed Without Taking the Test Oath
Highly DislOynl.

CALHOUN COUNTY, w. Va
Editors of the Register
am sorry to inform you that some of
our officers are becoming somewhat dis
loyal The County Revenue Assessor
for our county, to my personal knowl-
edge, called upon several persons and
actually registered them upon his books
without first administering to them the
test oath. There certainly must be
screw loose somewhere | know other
officers of our State aud county are not
so remiss in duty. Our Registrar and
County Board administers the test oath
of loyalty to every man, and in some in
stances that test oath has not been suf-
ficient to have their names inscribed
upon the books of registration. All
other officers in our county are loyal. A
man, before he can enforce private or
public contract, must be loyal; he must
swear. A man cannot go to the ballot
box without swearing himself there
he cannot take his seat in the jury box
without swearing to his loyalty; he
cannot practice a profession or calling
without being loyal man. Neither
can any man put on the robes of Office
without this test. Our design should be
to keep all the publicans and sinners
from our State sanctuaries. Being of
the elect, and predestinated by our Gov
ernor and noble Legisture, let us lay our
hands upon our breasts and thank our
God for what our Legislature has done
for US.
Our Assessors of the Revenue of our
State should be more careful and not
enroll the names Of disloyal men. Their
votes we do not want their influence
we do not want their citizenship we
do not want. Why then should we
want them to pay taxes to work roads
or assist loyal people in any way, and
especially without swearing. l certain
ly think, Mr.. Editor, that all Assessors
of State, county and township Reve-
nue. should require every taxed man to
take the test oath before he is register
ed-a privilege inestimable to free peo-
pie like ours. TAX PAYER.
