The people of West Virginia would
| like very much to know Just why ex-
Governor Wilson is to receive ten per
cent of the money. known as the direct
tax, which is to be paid back to this
State by the government. True, Wilson
has been himself direct tax on the State
in many ways and an indirect tax in
many other ways but that has nothing
especially TO do with this case. We re-
member that he went on to Washington
last winter for q day or two and probab-
" had good time with Senator kenna.
but when Congress voted on refundiDg
the direct taxes to the several States the
Democratic members from West Virginia
voted against it. Windy Wilson was not
even able to influence them in any way.
And yet Judge Ferguson'o Legislature
voted to allow him ten per cent of the
fund This needs an explanation and
needs it mighty badly and mighty quick
ly.-.Stdte Journal.
On this point the Charleston Star saws:
" Good reasons were given why the
Beverly Tucker heirs should receive
handsome suns, but none were offered to
show why Wilson should come in for so
much of it, and thu Legislature should
have known what part of it he was to get
before they voted on the question. Con-
gresham Anderson is quoted as saying
that Wilson s trip to Washington amount
ed to nothing so far as getting the money
back is concerned, ard the people would
like to know just how much they are
paying him for doing nothing
