We have looked in vain in the last
three or four issues OF the Farmers
Advocate for the figures showing the
decline in the taxable value of person
al property in Jefferson county since
1892, or to be more specific, the total
assessed valuation of personal proper
ty in that county for the years 1892,
1893, 1894, 1895, 1896 and 1897. To
do as we request will not take much
time or space and may be worth much
to the good people of Jefferson.

One OF the latest shortcomings OF a
member of the State administration
now being condemned by Democratic
newspapers, and rightly too, is the
charge that State Treasurer Kendall,
in rendering his expense account for
attendance at the recent meeting OF
the State Geological Board, charged
mileage when, in fact, he rode upon a
free pass. To our mind the proper
remedy is for the Legislature to pro
hibil the issuance of free passes TO
officials. To say that it has been the
custom or that all holding passes ride
on them when on official business and
then charge mileage is begging the
question. That officials should be
favored by the railroads is a mis-
taken idea. 1t is an injustice to
the roads for which they are wholly
responsible and from which it is now
practically impossible to eXtricate
themselves, therefore the Legislature
should come to their rescue.

In another column is an interesting
editorial from the Parkersburg State
Journal, entitled Senator Faulkner S
Wall" 1t will be observed that the
Journal takes the identical position
occupied by the Herald in the matter
of the injunction cases-the only po-
sition that anyone who desires to
honestly discuss the question can
take. There is one suggestion in the
opening sentence, however, with
which we are impelled to take issue
with the Journal. We cannot be in
duced TO believe that the Berkeley
Democrat is THE organ of Senator
Faulkner. IF it is, where is our dear
1y beloved Statesman? Perish the
thought The B. D. may be AN or
gan Of our civil.service Senator, but
not THE organ. He no doubt in
spired the article in the B. D.-may
have written it-but the fodder
grinder" is not, no, cannot be the
only organ. One little tune does not
make an organ, not in these piping
