regulate the taxes. Of course the pros
and cons of this economic principle OF
government are produced by individual
views from perhaps prejudiced stand
points. Notwithstanding the impossi.
bility to make taxation equitable in it's
fullest sense, there is no question about
the possibility of improving on existing
laws bearing on this subject. Taxes
should be so levied that no piece Of per.
:sonal or real property be made to pay
double duty. That the basis should be so
arranged that the middle and lower
classes be not saddled with the burden

ne'ghbors. 1t is matter of such great
Importance that we would like to see our

dogged persistency. The thorough mess
Of Republican party discipline has never
been more completely exemplified than
in the present struggle. l With six mem

men to keep the bill before the Senate.

theme of much admiring comment here,
but it is no surprise to those who have
hitherto remarked the physical prowess
of the West Virginiansl in Congress.
When Mr.. Faulkner sat down the re-
markable fact came to light that he had
eaten once only, and then very sparingly,
for over fourteen hours, and that for
twice that length of time he had not
slept a wink. 81 His ID said TO have been
