 Washington, Nov. 12.-(Special. J. United States Consul Joseph G. Ste- phens at Plymouth, England, sends to the Department of Commerce and La bor the following notes regarding Got ton Culture in the British Empire":
 , "It is sincerely hoped by the English people that cotton growing may yet become a great British industry. The press can not easily forget the cotton crisis of few months past. Many ar ticles and pamphlets on this subject have been written and distributed throughout the country.
 "The curator of the Botanical Gar dens at Palmerston, Australia, writes to a local paper that the soil and cli- mate of the coastal region of the north- ern territory of South Australia are ad- adapted to the culture of cot ton. In that region 1t Is found in many places among the indigenous vegeta- ton. There are, the writer asserts thousands of acres of land suitable for the growth of cotton and blessed with a never-failing rainfall. As yet, how ever, no effort has been made to in- troduce cotton growing In Australia
 Some progress has been made in the British Central African protectorate. Two years ago, as an experiment, 692 pounds of cotton were sent from the to England. and this was increased to 5s,000 pounds last year, for which an average of 8 pence (16 cents)

We need to manu- facture our own goods, and to sell di- rectly to those who consume them, and at a price which is not unremunera- tive We can and will show to the world that we have the capacity and the resources and the, ability to man age our own affairs, and under these conditions it cannot be expected that we will always continue to lick the hand that smites us.
 The friends of MT. Roosevelt say that his attitude towards the South is. misunderstood in this section. Let us hope that this is truei The growth and development of the South Is as inn

The Southern people have believed that Mir. Roosevelt is inimical to them. They will accept the verdict in this election as an evidence that an over whelming mass of the Northern people think and feel as he does Mir. We'll man, in the paragraph with which began this article, from the same premises reaches exactly a contrary conclusion. Let us hope that he is right and that we are wrong; let us have deeds, not mere empty words. Let us have some recognition on the part of the national government. Let us have some evidence that we are to be treated by the administration as free born citizens, not as peasants are treated by the Czar of Russia. It Is not a political party which the South objects to- Its complaint is against sectional party. These apprehen- sions will be largely relieved whenever we have an administration big enough and broad enough to recognize the in- terest of the whole country, without regard to sectional or party lines.

POLITICAL PREJUDICE.

The Republican Bosses have IS
sued a circular to the Republican
voters of Preston cnunty in which
they make a personal appeal to the
Republicans TO vote for Bill Daw-
son and his tax bin which taxes the
very life out Of the farmer, mer-
chant, small property holder and
the laboring man. 1t is void of
argument and an appeal TO political
prejudice. They make a personal
attack on Col. Bill Lavelle a hum
BILE citizen and tax payer and other
Democrats.
We quote from the circular, in
which they say:
"The Democrats say they will re-
peal the new tax laws if they are
elected. They know they WILL
NOT DARE repeal them. The Re.
publicans and Mr.. Dawson will not
repeal the new tax laws, because
they are just laws"
Now farmers and laboring men
and merchants and tax payers here
have the Republican Bosses of Pres
ton county IN a circular tell you
that the Democrats dare not re.
peal the Dawson tax laws" and they
tell you that "Mr. Dawson and the
Republicans will not repeal the
Dawson tax laws" Do you want
any more evidence that the
Standard Oil Company, the cor
porations and railroads, the money
power of the State of West Virginia
have an understanding with Bill
Dawson that If he is elected Cover
nor of the State of West Virginia
that Mr.. Dawson will see that the
Dawson tax law is not repealed? The
Democratic party and its candidates
are pledged to REPEAL the DAW
SON TAX LAWS if they are elect
ed. The Republican Executive
Committee of Preston county in
this circular, signed by Jas. w.
Flynn, II. S. Whetsell and ]. A.
Lenhart, tell the Republicans of
Preston comfy that if "Bill Daw-
son is elected that they will not re
peal the Dawson tax law. "What do the
Republican farmers and merchants
and laboring men and small property
holders think about it ? Are they
going to suffer for four long years
under the Dawson infamous tax law2
Are they going to let Flynn, Whet-
sell and Lenhnrt the Bosses of the
Republicans OF Preston county ap
peal to political prejudice to vote
money out of their pocket? That
is what Flynn, Whetsell and Len
hart propose to do. They tell you
it Bill Dawson is elected that they
will not repeal the Dawson tax law. 1"
There is no POLITICS, in this
tax law. 1t will hit the Republican
tax papers as hard as other tax pay
ers. Republicans of Preston coun-
ty, if you vote for Bill Dawson you
Will increase your taxes three times
what they are. Can you afford to
do this 1t is in your hands to
decide.
West Virginia argus. [volume] (Kingwood, W. Va.) 1877-1946, 1904-11-03
CONSIDER WELL.

Consider well before you vote.
Bear this fact in mind: If Bill Daw.
sou is elected Governor you will
have to pay this high rate of taxa
ton for four long years. Why ?
Because if you succeed to elect a
Democrat legislature in 1906 they
can do nothing while Bill Dawson
is Governor. They can, and will,
enact Just and fair tax law, bu,
Bill Dawson, if Governor. will
VETO 1t. If elected, Mr.. Dawson
will owe his election to the corpor
atoms, railroads and Trusts, and
will be honor bound to protect their
interests. So you can readily un-
derStand that if Bill Dawson is
elected you will have to groan under
burden of taxation for four long
years and by the time you get
through paying them you will find
that they are four long years. By
the time you pay your taxes the first
time you will long to repeal the
Dawson law. But you will keep on
longing for four years if you do not
defeat Bill Dawson. Your only
salvation is to elect John ]. Corn
well Governor and elect a Demo
cratic legislature who will repeal
this Dawson law.

TAX REFORM

The people of Preston county can
bear testimony TO the fact that The
ARGUS has never changed its posi-
ton on tax revision. During the
Primary contest between Mr.. Daw-
son and Mr.. Teter THE ARGUS
urged upon the Republicans to sup
port Mr.. Dawson and vote against
Mr.. Teter. Ii was not a personal
or political matter with THE ARGUS.
AT that time Mr.. Dawson was an
avowed Tax Reformer and Mr..
Teter was bitterly opposed to Tax
Reform and was supported by every
corporations, railroad and trust in
the State of West Virginia. This
combination of wealth spent thou.
sands of dollars to defeat Mr.. Daw-
son and secure the nomination for
Mr.. Teter. There we're thousands
of Democratic farmers and labor
i1g men who voted for Mr.. Dawson
at the primaries and would have
supported Mr.. Dawson on the day
of the election. They were going
to support Mr.. Dawson because he
told them he was an out and out
Tax Reformer. The Democrats
did not consider it contest be-
tween Republicans and Democrats
but contest between the people
and the money power. Mr.. Daw.
son was overwhelmingly nominated.
He owed his nomination TO the
common people, both Republicans
and Democrats. There was no
politics in it. With all their money
the corporations, railroads and
trusts could not defeat Mr.. Dawson.
Had Mr.. Dawson remained true to
the people, stood firmly for Tax
Reform, he would undoubtedly
have carried the State by 90, 900
majority against the anti tax re-
formers. But Mr.. Dawson failed
to take advantage of his oppJrtuni
ty and when the extraordinary SEES
sion of the legislature convened In
Charleston Mr.. Dawson surrendered
to the very people who fought him
for the nomination. This is where
Mr.. Dawson made his fatal mistake.
The corporations, railroads and
trusts represented to Mr.. Dawson
and his friends at Charleston that
unless Mr.. Dawson woGld agree to
the tax bill which the agents of the
corporations, railroads and trusts
had prepared that they would spend
every cen, they were worth but
what they would defeat him for
Governor Mr.. Dawson and his
friends realizing the power of
money in political contest agreed
to the corporations, railroads and
trusts, tax bill. This iniqui,ious
and infamous tax bill, which is
known as the "Blll Dawson tax
bill, let the corporations, railroads
and trusts go free until 1000 and
placed the enormous burden of
taxation upon the farmers, working.
men, mechanics, doctors, mer.
chants and small property holders
Now we ask all fair minded Re
publicans who are not blinded with
political bias and prejudice, if it is
not their duty to join hands with
the Democrats to elect a Governor
and legislature that will repeal this
Infamous tax bill ? 1t is not a DO
litical question, but one which
means ruination to the farmers and
all other small tax PAYERS.

READ THIS FARMERS.

Do you know that under the Daw.
son tax law that when your farms
have been assessed that any person
can 60 before the County Court and
report that your farm has not been
assessed high enough ? Well they
can, and the County Court will
issue a writ against You and hand il
to the Sheriff who will serve it on
you, compelling you to go before
the County Court and show cause
why your farm should not be assess
ed higher. You will have to employ
a lawyer and summons Witnesses TO
appear before the County Court to
prove that your land has been as
sessed high enough. If you fail you
can appeal it to the Circuit Court
and again employ your lawyer and
have your Witnesses summoned to
prove TO the Circuit Court that your
farm has been assessed at Its "true
and real value" and whether you
win or lose your case you will have
% pay ALL the COSTS in the case.
And the Journal has the audacity to
say that this new tax law is for the
benefit Of the poor man.
Now we submit in all candor that
1t ls the duty of every farmer, re-.
gardless Of his politics, to vote
against this damnable law. Vote
for men who will repeal this law.
II Bill Dawson is elected Governor
you will not be able to get rid of
this law for four long years. Ifyou
think you can afford 10 take your

you do not want to vote against

man.

LIFE INSURANCE.

Do the railroad men know that
those who are insured in the BIO.
relief association will be assessed
on their insurance ? We have a
good many Of them in Preston who
carry from $500 to s., 900 in the =.
a O. relief association. This Will
be assessed al ITS 'true and real
value" and the railroad employees
will find that this tax will be mo-
small amount. IL would be well for
the B. & O. employees to think this
over before they vote. They al
ready pay nice little sum into the
b. & 0. association for This insu-
rance, and when they have to paw "a
tax on il they will find that 10
amounts 20 quite an item. The
Dawson tax Law has let nothing
escape when 20 comes TO the pyor
man. But the Journal, which is r.
monumental preyancator, says the
Dawson law is for the benefit of The
poor man.
