CHARLES Town, Sept "a, 1898
In the matter Of the petition of
the board of ballot commissioners
of Jefferson county for writ of
error from the decision of Judge
Faulkner, of the Circuit Court, rem.
dered ON September 10th granting
peremptory mandamus against
them, requiring them TO put the
name of Frank HI Harmiscns of
Morgan county, a democratic can
didate for the House of Delegates,
ON the Official ballot, and deciding
that the act of the Republican
Legislature of 1897, changing the
18th delegate district to consist of
Berkeley and jefferson counties,
instead of Berkeley, Jefferson and
Morgan, is unconstitutional and
void the Supreme Court refused
the writ of error and sustained
Judge Faulkner.
The opinion was handed down
by Judge Brannon. President of
the court, and concurred in by the
whole court. The syllabus con-
tains two points. viz: that the court
has the power to declare an act re-
distributing, in whole or in part, of
the State, unconstitutional and
void,
Second. That the act Of 1897,
changing said delegate district is
unconstitutional and void, being in
contrayention to the constitution,
which provides that redistrioting
and apportionment of delegates
shall take place only after each sue
ceeding United States census, or
once in ten years; that thisiproyis-
ion is mandatory and merely not
directory, and that the Legislature
must obey it,
The State having been arranged
into districts by the Legislature of
1891, this must stand until after
another census and the Legislature
of 1897 had no power to change
this arrangement.

3 One of the cardinal principles
of the democratic party is that the
rich should pay equally with the
poor for the support of the govern
ment which gives them protection.
1T was and is for this reason that
the democrats favor an income tax
AS taxes are laid at present under
the yaller administration of the
rich and pompous trusts, the rich
people of this country are practic-
ally exempt from taxation in pro-
portion to their wealth andincomes.
The war tax has come to stay it's
a necessity so long as the Dingley

men and women that are paying

equal and exact justice to all, but
through the juggling of a little
band of rank fakirs, frauds, mush
eaters and wine drinkers dubbed

equitable income tax has been de-
clared unconstitutional. 1t is
time for the people, those who pay
the freight, to declare such a court
