In this issue appears a letter
written by Prof. johnson, color
ed, in reply to an editorial which
appeared last week in the Star
about him. While it's none OF
our business to interfere when
two of the brethren fall out, we
do respectfully suggest as a dis
interested party, that johnson s
answer to Smiths editorial shows
that the colored man has more
good sense, better education and
more refinement than is exhibited
in the editorial in the Star. The
Star says johnson looks like an
"idiot." We are willing to let
the Star editor select three good,
honest men; we will then print a
picture of johnson and Smith side
bv side in the Oil Review, and If
the judges selected by the Star
don't say that johnson is the bet
ter looking and more intelligent
in appearance than Smith we
will pay for the making OF the
two pictures and cuts. Ii the
Judges decide Smith is the more
"idiotic" looking of the two then
he pays for the pictures and cuts
and apologies to johnson. We
really think Smith ought to ac-
cept this proposition. We love to
see two political brethren dwell
ing together in peace and unity
When the "Precio us ointment
flows down from their boards we
suggest it be well saturated with
rose water.

done, and certainly there is no
provision for it in the Dawson
bills. 1t is the old problem Of
how to reach the intangible prop
erty of men known to be worth
sometimes hundreds of millions
who yet pay no more taxes than
their poorest clerks, whose little
home and household effects can
not be hidden from the assessor.
1t is this very difficulty that has
led government to wink at under
valuations of real estate in order
to even up matters for its owners
whose possessions are open to the
eyes of the assessors.
Therefore, it needs no demon
stration that when assessed valua-
tons are doubled or trebled or
more, it will not be the wealthy
owner of intangible and easily
concealed property who will pay
the increase. Oh, no, he will en-
10Y whatever decrease in rates
there may be, on the same old ba-
sis, or he may even make a poorer
mouth to the assessor than before :;
but the FARMER, THE SMALL
HOME OWNER, WHO CANNOT
HIDE A CENTS WORTH OF
THEIR POSSESSIONS, MUST
PAY THE INCREASE FOR
BOTH.
Is that EQUALITY9 Is that
JUSTICE IN TAXATION?
The Republican tricksters may
write text books till they get wrl-
ter's cramp, but they will never
make any man of common horse
sense believe it.

REPUBLICAN TEXT BOOK.

The Republican text book for
West Virginia is remarkable
chiefly for it's mendacity and the
weakness of it's appeals, which are
not calculated to befool anyone OF
common sense, whether he has a
lawyers knowledge Of the tax
question or not. For instance:
Tax reform, for which the
Republican party stands,
means equality and justice IN
taxation; that every man, in
terest and corporation should
pay his or it's just shares OF
taxes, and no more and no
less.
This is the opening and is truly
funny since the Dawson bills dou-
BILE the farmers tax valuation
while for the rich corporations a
Republican Board of Public
Works will do the job behind
closed doors in confab with the
corporation attorneys. 1t took a
mighty sight of nerve to put that
paragraph in the Republican text
book since the Dawson bills
strike from the present laws ALL
THE FARMERS PRODUCTS
NOW EXEMPT FROM TAXA
TION, putting the same back on
the taxable list, while they PER-
NIT THE PRODUCTS OF THE
WEALTHY COAL, OIL AND
GAS CORPORATIONS whom Mr..
Dawson promised to tax, to 90
FREE OF TAXES!
Is that ,EQALITY? Is that
JUSTICE IN TAXATION?
Again says this Republican text
book:
Under the new law the 35-
cent State tax amounts annu-
ally to about ST, 100000. Six
seventies of this will be abol-
ished, amounting to a gross
reduction of 81, 100000.
But new subjects of taxation
saddled onto the counties together
with a doubled or trebled valua-
ton will more than make up this
alleged reduction, which, conse-
quently is only on paper. The
text book itself admits assessments
will be more than doubled and
in some instances doubled twenty
times over, thus:
Assessing all property at its
actual value will immensely
reduce the rate. Taxes will
be reduced because a vast
amount of property now as
sessed at one-twentieth and
one-tenth of it's value will be
put on the books at its true
value
Any man of experience knows
the tax rate will NOT be reduced
because of the increased assess
ment. Increase in the rate on the
contrary has always kept pace
with increase in assessed valua-
ton. 1t was ever thus and ever
will be. Extravaganza in govern
ment as in private grows upon
that on which it feeds. Here is
another fallacy in this text book
Taxes will be reduced be-
cause a vast amount OF prop
erty not now assessed at all
will be assessed under the new
law. This property is what is
known as intangible proper
ty, and consists of notes,
bonds, mortgages and the like.
Millions of this property IS
not now assessed at all.
And the same millions will
manifestly continue to be hidden
from the assessor simply because
it MAY be so hidden. How is the
assessor to know if the wealthy
mans tax list is correct or not

early in September. and again about q
fortnight before election day. OF
coure no such canvass is needed in
ali of the former slaves states, except
Delaware, Maryland. West Virginia,
and, possibly. Kentucky. 1t would
be equally superfuous in Vermont
or Pennsylvania. No other item OF
expenditure is comparable with the
sum paid for campaign speeches. 1t
is expected that, when the campaign
5000 political orators will be placed
upon the stump by each of the nation

as many "spellbinders" will be mus

aggregate number of eXhOrters will
not fall much short of 10000. Some
