False ClaInaOr,
country.

Republican newspapers and politi-
cal buncombe huxsters have charged
crookedness in management OF the
State school fund, until one might
suppose they were the most honest
and innocent association of country
savers this State ever placed in pow
er, Notwithstanding they set the pre-.
cedent of borrowing from the school
fund, and their last State Auditor re.
ported a deficiency Of $50, 900 due the
State school fund.- which the Demo-
Gratis had to assume. And these fault
finders call it robbing the school fund
to do what they considered good pol
icy and authorized under the consti-
tuition and laws, viz: to borrow from
the State school fund sum necessa-
to meet temporary extra demands on
the State Treasury and return the
same with interest. And why not !:
Does not the Constitution authorize
investing the school fund in State Sc
cnrities, and does it rob or injure any
body If interest is paid for its user
And are the taxpayers, who make the
school fund, injured if the temporary
use OF this fund relieves from an 10
crease in the levy for State purposes9
If it is crime, these radical organs
should be the last to open their
mouths in accusation.
This year we have an increase Of 8
cents, making 25c. on 500 for State
purposes, which it is estimated will
meet all legitimate demands. notwith-
standing large improvements, expen-
ditures for State institutions, &c,
have been made, and this increase is
still less than Republican assessment
for 1S66-67, when it was 80 cents on
the hundred. Whenever a Republi-
can tells you about high taxes hunt
up your old tax receipts. We will
compare figures with them, taking
one year or series of years-State
and county-and prove their admin
istrations were more expensive, pro-
scriptive and extravagant. We will
contrast what the Democratic admin
istrations have done for the relief of
the oppressed and material prosperity
OF the State, making dine allowances
for the mistakes and errors, and go
to trial before the people whenever
the case is docketed.-Keysey Tyib-
une.

Fillmore Hickman, Editor and Pro
prietor Of the West Union Record
died at his home in West Union, bod
bridge county, on Friday February
goth. We regret to learn of the death
of Bro. Hickman. He was an indie
pendent, fearless and successful news
paper man, and had the esteem of the
fraternity generally. This is the
third death in the profession that has
occurred near us within as many
weeks.

A bill has been introduced in Con-
gress sTo establish National Exper-
iment Stations in connection with the
Agricultural Colleges OF the various
States" fit become law, and we
hope it will, the University will be
one ofthese Stations. The plan con-
templates systematizing the work I'M
der the Commissioner of Agriculture,
who will supervise them carefully
thus avoiding duplicate work in
neighboring States. The experiments
made would be of benefit to all stu
dents who would give them attention,
and would give practical value to the
work of colleges. The Chairman Of
the committee appointed by the De
partment asks the careful considera-
tion of thoughtful men to this matter
and their cooperation, at least so far
as they endorse the idea.

Ex-Governor Samuel Price died at
his home in Lewisburg, on the 25th

Virginia at one time, and was Presi-

in 1872. He was appointed by Gov.
Mathews to fill the unexpired term
of Hon. A. L. Caperton in the U. S.

had almost completed his eightieth

The new tax deal in West Virginia

The new tax deal in West Virginia
regulates railroad property as well as
farm products. In Preston county,
for instance, where the county au-
thorities had compromised with the
B. d o. R. r. Co. on basis of valu-
alton Of 1922, 900, the Democratic
Board of Public Works just doubled
the valuation. This brings in $685.
900 additional railroad property, or
over $54 railroad property to every
VI OF farmers property, as evidenced
by the assessment of farm products
last year in that county. Yet no
doubt if Senator Dawson helps make
the next Republican State platform,
he will want to insert a plank arraign-
ing the Democratic party as the friend
of the railroad monopolies and the
enemy of the farmer.-Index.

A fight that promises to be of some
interest is now in progress between
some of the leading republicans of this
State. Ex-Governor Pierpoint leads
the van with bitter and persistent
attack upon u. s. Marshal G. w.
Atkinson. But Pierpoint's gyrations
resemble those of q beef after it has
been knocked on the head by the
butcher, and are likely to soon sub

The conflicts between the two com
peting railroad companies haye call
ed into requisition a large and learn
ell array Of legal talent to settle the
rights Of way.
We hope that we are not to have
another illustration of the common
diversion in which one of the com
panies will resort TO pulling at each
end of the COW while the lawyers
milk her. We are willing that the
lawyers should have q fair share oil
the cream but are unwilling that the
eager public should be put off with
skim-milk for their share of all this
railroad rumpus.
1t is all right that the courts should
be called to settle rights of way that
cannot be obtained by agreement
with the landholders, or where the
two companies are claiming the same
route. But both companies cannot
get all they claim from the courts.
When the result is reached one on
the other will be defeated and disap-
pointed. 1t may be that it will SUBJ
nit to the judgment of the court and
seek the next best thing. But it is
entirely within the bounds of common
probability and practice that the
defeated company will become angry
and revengeful and determine on a
course designed to annoy and sb-
struct its successful competitor, and
that the next step will be appeals,
injunctions and long, dilatory and
disastrous campaign Of litigation
that will end either in the defeat or
indefinite delay of both the enter
prises.
These are probabilities, we say,
but we hope they may not be realized.
II either one Of the companies wants
an apology for declining or delaying
to build its road, it will most proba-
bly, be ready to entangle itself and
its competitor in the mcshes Of te-
dious litigation. II both companies
are as anxious to begin active opera
tions as they profess to be there will
be no litigation beyond the necessary
process of condemning rights of way.
There is abundant room on the
bank Of the Monongahela river, over
its entire length, not only for two,
but half dozen lines Of railroad,
If the companies were actuated by
any spirit Of fairness toward each
other it seems to us they could easily
compromise all difficulties and con-
fiicts as to rights of way.
