The "Wctso Won.

Special to the Register
KEYSER, w. Va, September 30.-The
town OF Belington, Barbour county, q
village OF about loco people, held an
election Tuesday Tor the purpose OF
voting on the question of granting IL
censes for saloons, the speakeasy evil
having grown to such an enormous ex-
tent that the good cirizens OF that town
decided open licensed saloons would
be the lesser evil. The wet elemen;
carried by vote of "a to %. No town
in Barbour county has had licensed
saloon since 1865, when Philippi. the
county seat, had open saloons. Which
er or not the County Court viii grant
licenses is matter of doubt in the
minds of some.

identical items, the actual increase in
the total appropriations for the same
period amounts to nearly forty-tWo per
cent.
Space is wanting to set forth in de-
tail a comparative statement of TIE
items of expenditure at the different State
institutions where the totals have in
creased so largely. Such a statement
would show, however, that the increase
is due in a marked degree to the fact
tibet ordinary current expenses, includ-
ing the aggregate Of salaries in some
instances, have grown very much great
er in the period under consideration,
thus there is an increase of this kind
| for support of normal schools of S19,0 900,
for the deaf and blind school $4,000,
for the University SS7 900, for the Spen-
| Ger asylum $4,000. and for the Reform
school $4,000, and $4,000 for the Wes-
ton asylum. In some instances there
has undoubtedly been large addition
, to the work required to be done at these
| institutions, and it cannot be deter
mined from any thing in the appropria-
| ton acts whether any, or how much of
| the increase of expenditures of this sort
are due to want of proper THRU. and
economy in management. 1t can only
! be said that the increases certainly APP
! pear remarkably large, and 1t is to be
remembered that many items that prop
| erly belong to current expenditures are
frequently designated as being for spec
, ial purposes.
In noting other items than State in
| situations, the first to attract attention
is criminal charges. showing an increase
| of 81, 600, or q total for the current BIZ
ennial period of 100000 The Demo-
| cratic Auditor reported to the Republi-
can Legislature of 1895 that It would re-
quire 100000 TO meet the exepnses of
this kind for the ensuing two years but
that body refused to allow more than
| Sic, 600, and
Much Political Capital
was sought to be made during the last
| campaign out of the fact there was
deficiency appropriation necessary to
be made by the Republican Legislature
of 1897 to square up this account. The
amount asked for apd obtained by the
preAent administration is tacit vindi-
catide Of the corref tness OF the views Of

payers interests in allowing the appro-
priations to be as large as it did in
many instances. AS the Democrats had
control of the House there was good
grounds for the belief that only what
was necessary to carry on the State gov
eminent in an economical manner
would be allowed to be drawn from the
treasury. The fact that the House did
not succeed in securing this result shows
how high the current of extravaganza
has set In, while recollection of the
amount of Legislative Expenses" sug
gests that the more popular branch of
the Legislature did not itself escape en-
tirely the influence of the spirit of ex-
pansion and reckless spending that was
all around it. It Is only truth and Jus
tice, however, to say that the House
did make strenuous effort to keep
down the appropriations, and that but
for its action in this direction the total
would have gone even beyond the two
million mark. Practically all appro-
priations, except for the Legislature,
executive and judicial departments, are
contained in what Is commonly called
the general appropriation bill. AS the
session drew to a close each house had
ate was passed first and sent over to the
House. The House made it's own bill
a substitute for the Senate bill, passed
it and sent the Senate dill thus amend
ed back to the Senate. The Senate find
ing that the bill as amended and
passed by the House carried less
by considerably over hundred
thouand dollars than it contained orig
| lnally, refused to concur In the amend
ments. Conferees We're appointed, and
after a protracted wrangel, the Senate
finally consented by it's conferees to
amendments that reduced its original
bill by about fifty thouand dollars, but
beyond this point it utterly refused to
go. 1t was already the last day of the
session, and the complete failure of the
regular appropriations it was known
would result in the Governor calling an
extra meeting of the Legislature. and
in entailing upon the people a large
amount Of utterly useless expense In
this dilemma the House considered that
It's duty under all the circumstances
was TO agree to the somewhat reduced
Senate bill, and the result of this agree
ment and the final action of the two
houses was the appropriation of the
SUMS appearing In the foregoing state
ment for the years 1899 and 1900.
Whether If the House had stuhbornly
held out it would ultimately have Sc
cured reductions to justify the extra
session Is problematical. The high
handed course of the Senate in other
matters had indicated that 1t was bent
upon having its own way without any
regard TO the interests or wishes of its
constituents, and no one could say what
would be the duration of the extra ses-
sion, since it might entirely depend
upon the pleasure of the Governor and
the Senate. Considering the question
from all points of view it would rather
appear that the House adopted the wiser
course. though it was thereby compelled
to assent to what it rightly considered
unnecessary and wasteful appropria-
tions.
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1900-10-01
The First Thing Apparent

In CHANGING over this statement is the
phenomenal difference in the totals.
Without pausing to consider the neces-
sity of merits of the particular items,
one cannot help being struck with the
fact that in six years State eXpendl-
lures for the biennial period have
grown, in round numbers, from four
teen hundred thousand to two million
dollars. That is, for every fourteen
dollars that it used to take to run the
State, it now takes twenty. Nor may
the taxpayer console himself to any
great extent with the reflection that
the enormous total for the current two
years includes many extraordinary
items that will not have to be pro-
vided for in the future. The party IN
power has, since it first carried the
Legislature in 1895, shown wonderful
facility in discovering new sources OF
expenditure, and when these once OBJ
tain permanent place in the budget
they usually stay there. In the case OF
the University, the new fire-proof
building for State archives, the deaf
and dumb school, the two asylums,
the reform school, the colored institute
and a few other State institutions, a
considerable sum in the aggregate is
devoted to permanent improvements,
but these are largely of such nature as
to suggest that others of somewhat
similar character are likely to follow.
In fact, any one who will take the
trouble to examine the appropriations
for institutions of this character for
some years back will be strongly i'm
pressed with the regular recurrence OF
these special Improvements. In the
case of the militia, however, there
ought to be some considerable reduc-
ton, as large portion Of it is due to
the Spanish war. But the large in
crease in current expenses all along the
line leaves little room forNhope that the
appropriations OF the Legislature Of
1901 win not equal or exceed those Of
the session just terminated, unless the
administration of State AFFAIRS is taken
Aout OF the hands Of those responsible
|for them at present.

penditures for the years 1884 were
larger than in 1899 and 1900. In four
O, these, the three normal schools and
tie Spencer asylum, an examination OF
the appropriation act OF 1859 Will show
large sums applied TO permanent I'M
provements or construction purposes,
while the amounts for expenses OF Gals
sort during the current two years Is
comparatively very small. In three
other cases, the Worlds Fair, the
statue CT Senator Kenna and the pur-
chase of the executive mansion anG
grounds, the appropriations were extra
ordinary and not properly TO be con-
sidered in a comparative statement.
! The item of the fish commissioners does
not appear in the last appropriation bill
because the Office has ceased TO exist.
Three other items, civil suits, over
I'D taxes and erroneous assessments,
nave also disappeared from the ast'
because they are now paid without the
appropriation Of specific amounts. The
small excess in the case of public print
