It has not heretUgors been brought 10
the attention Of the TURNER'S Of Harri-
son county that The tax commission bills
propose to have their farms valued just
at what they are worth. In other words,
il q man pays $4,000 for a farm that
is to be the assessed value of It and he
must pay taxes on that amount. Tac
tax commission, since It made no recon-,
mendations for any change in the as
sessment Of railroad property, means for
that property to be assessed Just as It
has been heretofore, tar below it, ac-
tual value The argument Is advanced
that II the value of q mans farm Is in
creased, the rate OF taxation should be
lower. That Is true. but the reduction
in the rate is far more to the interests
o. the railroads than to the farmer. To
illustrate: II farmers farm Is as
xessed at 5000 now and he pays 30
cents ON the hundred dollars as taxes.
the amount Is 50. Suppose he sells the
farm for 5000. the actual worth of it,
and the So Is to be raised taxes. Then
the rate would be reduced to IL cents on
tho hundred. Then take the railroad as
an example. Suppose it is valued at sl0,-
600. The Tux in The first instance would
he $40. but in the second there having
been no change in the valuation none be-
ing provided for by law the railroad tax
would be only SIC. In othyr words, the
farmer would be required to pay just as
much rs he did before the law was chang
cd, while the railroad company would
pay only little more than onc-third OF
what it did before the new law went
into effect Is it any wonder that the
farmers should be against an iniquitous
measure Of this sort2 Before there is
any change in the. tax laws of this state
it should be thoroughly understood that
the railroads shall stand their share of
the blunt.

The tax-dodsers may be those who are
crying ont so loudly for tax reform. For
instance, take the Wheeling News. 1t is
reliably stated that paper is assessed ut
$4,000. These figures are supposed to
represent the worth of all its personal
property, such Us presses, type and all
machinery in the outfit. 1t is also relia-
bly, stated that the actual value of the
property assessed at $4,000 is 100000
or more. In other words. the News pays
only on about onc-fourth of its actuni
value. It appears from this state of
facts that the News is more enthusiasts
tie in it's advocacy of tax reform than it
is diligent in paying an honest amount
of taxes. Down in this part of the state
a much higher rate of valuation is piac-
ed on printing outfits, but we are mot
bowling for tax reform, nor are our pa
pcrs tax-dodgcrs.

although there is much of 1t done. At
cny rate something ought to be done

1t is up to the property owners and the

The assessment OF real estate the last
time in this county was made In part by
one who is an ardent supporter of the
alleged tax reform as presented by the
tax commission bills, and yet the value
Of real estate in this county averages
a dollar less on the acre than it did in
1890. Notwithstanding this fact the ad-
vocates of the measure and especially
the governor claim that Harrison county
does not pay enough taxes. If mot, it is
the fault of their that they did not make
higher assessments, and they ought not
10 ccnsurc Others for their own short
comings and failure to carry out their
own ideas. The proportion of the assess
lnent Is quite fair, II the Telegram is cor
rcctly informed, and that is that half is
to the surface and the other half to the
minerals underneath. whether the lat
Ter be developed or not. 1t is not the
fauit of the law that the assessments
IN Harrison county are not higher, as
the advocates of the tax commission
veport claims they ought to be, but that
of some of the alleged reformers, whose
Judgment seems to have been bad from
the standpoint they now take on the SUBJ
jet.

The plans and opportunities offered by
schools of correspondence are worthy of
the attention and consideration Of the,
teachers of the county. During the
teaching months teachers have but little.
other opportunity to improve themselves
and they should mot fail to take advan:
tage of what opportunities are offered,
especially such reputable and systematic
plans as are presented by these schools
Of correspondence. Again, reputable edv-
ucators are advancing these plans of ed,
ucation and it is safe to say they ara
all right, or such men would not be ins
Producing them. Anyway it is the duty.
of the teacher to himself aud the profes-..
sion to investigate these methods of ac-
quiring education and satisfy himself as
to whether there are advantages to be
derived by patronhing them.

The municipal situation at Adamston
IS amusing, If nothing more can be said
of it Conventions are of almost nightly
occurrence there, whether two or three
are gathered together in some ones name
o. an even hundred are present to boost
some schemer's game. That there are
tricks and tricks none have the slight
est doubt. That there are tricksters is
the natural result of there being tricks,
or rather the tricksters come first and
then the tricks. The situation is really
in n more confused state than the mu-
nicipal broil In New York, and yet there
is but little to fight for in the Adams
ton campaign, unless it be an honor to
go down in history as being the first mu-
n:cipal officers Of that growing town.
The state of affairs does not speak well
for the judgment Of the community and
does not commend its ambition to do the
best thing for itself. It rather looks
like the town is trying to destroy itself
rather than to work for seIf-preserva-
ton and advancement. The Telegram
stated ON former occasion that this is
the critical period in its history and
upon the present action depends largely
the future Of the place. All factionalis-->
jcalousies and ambitions should be SUBJ
ordinated to common desire to do the
best thing, but this advice will likely
prove itself mere dhaff ON the wind, to
sc blown away and forgotten, for the
reason that the rational does not seem
to be in predominance there in this cam
raign.

THE HAND
of Providence Extended just in Time
to Effect the Happiness and Free
dom of One of Union Districts
Young Teachers.

kinchelo, w. Va, Oct. GA little
over two years ago young gentleman
residing in Union began to wait upon
young lady. At the beginning of this
courtship the two concerned agreed that
"One at time, was enough" or in other
words, as long as Cupid held its sway
between the two, neither was to nay
any respect to any one else, beyond sim
cere friendship and due eivility.
When in each others company the
young man always extended his gentle
manly courtesy toward her, and she
seemed to be proud of its reception. The
two seemed to be fond of each other,
therefore all went VII.
Different times the r,mor got in cir
culation; but the young man considered
matrimony to be a most solemn and
sacred step, therefore, much time was
consumed in deep thought and solemn
meditation, which proved to be golden
key" unlocking to him the entrance to
loyal freedom and lasting happiness.
AT q box supper at Tichenal, on the
night. of the END of August, and during
the following week, events transpired
that acted as cyclone blowing away
all Of Cupid's deceitful charms and Grad
ieating Cupids "dense cloud of impend-
ing evil" that had been lowering about
him for the last two years.
As the clock chimed out the hour of
midnight ON the 18th instant, through
help of others, a young gentlemen from
Union took the young lady and effected
q speedy retreat to the city of Oakland,
where the knot of matrimony was tied,
until severed By death.
a special vote OF thanks is extended
by the young man to one and all con-
nected with this event, Us he believes
that they were instruments in the hands
of Divine Providence in wroughting mis-
whole future happiness. Instead of wish
ing any harm to befall the happy cou-
pie, in courteous manner, he extended
the hand of generalization. wishing them
long, tappy married life. Did he use
his speech in words of i'll will or threats
Certainly mot.
Therefore, if such rlmors are abroad,
the author OF them will kindly get the
Holy Writ, turn to the twenty first chap
ter of Revelations AMI the latter clause
of the eighth verse, read and be COM
forted. Has his N'whoic future been blast
ed by this elopementi" No; his mind
is centered on something higher, nobIer,
purer, than the miseries of a married
life.
Possibly a few sympashetic tears
courscd down his honest checks, but now
q happy smile encircles his lips, while
q tremor passes through his whole be-
ing, as he thinks of mis- hairs breadth
escape. u
Has he .pined away and joined the an
geisfr. No; he is stiIi among the NOV
ing elements of Gods creations and each
morn, with nigh head and light heart,
he goes to his school and strictly ut s:55
as he stands in front of Union, so and
50. you can hear the tintinnabulations
Of his school bell, denoting prosperity;
while in his very countenancc you can sec
that he is, and has reasons to be, one
of the happicst young men that trods
The fact of the carth-
Moral Young man, young woman. As
hasty step is often rePented, '.Trink
twice before you act once"
