A RADICAL STEP.
West Virginia TO Abolish Taxes on Real and
Personal Property and Raise Revenue
BY Licsnss Taxes.

Parkersburg, W. Va, Nov. 90
West Virginia is about to take rad
lcal step in the matter Of taxation.
The state tax commission, appointed
by the governor under an act Of the
last legislature for the purpose Of
suggesting new method Of taxa
ton, has formulated its report. The
principal feature Of this is the rec
ommendation that all taxes on real
and personal property for state pur-
poses shall be abolished.
The taxation of property has hith-
srto been the basis Of the states
revenue, but the proposition, which
will probably be adopted by the leg
stature, is to let all property go tax
free and to raise all that is needed
for state purposes-nearly 100000
4 year-in other ways.
License taxes are to take the place
Of taxes on property. The produc-
ton of coal and oil, which are among
the principal industries Of the state,
are to be taxed.

The writer sat with Brig. Gen. Otis
In his rooms a. the Shoreham hotel d
few days ago wnen a card was brought
up indicating that representative or
the New York Sun was waiting. He
appeared shortly after an invitation
was sent down, and said BY way OF
introduction that he did not want any
war or political news, but wanted to
chat a little for special information.
The general has had pretty steady
grind of interviewers since bis return
from the Philippines, and he regarded
this introduction somewhat suspicious

want to get a few snake stories"

self a trained newspaper man and a
newspaper owner.

see, thought there must be a lot Of
snakes over there. and thought per-
haps you might have heard something
about them"
"That's right" said the general.
There are a lot Of snakes there, and
I heard some pretty good yarns, but
first tell me: Are you the real snake
editor we read about in Jokes"
Then the reporter told about him.

try getting snake stories for the New

ploye of one of the departments here,
and wrote a few snake yarns for the
Sun. They were evidently good ones,
for he found It desirable to resign anc
devote hlmsel to finding snake stories
for the great editor, Mr.. Dana. He has
done nothing since.
That was satisfactory to Gen. Otis.
In fact, he was delighted. He had
knocked about the world q great deal
and apparently had been watching
snakes; be knows q lot about the
squirming things. He found that his
caller was authority on all types and
