WHY ABOLISH STATE rAxEsa


Because they ar. unnecessary. T1te

and business man relieved Of direct tax
8. Secondly, because as Mr.. Dawson
50 often said, 1T is the first ana indis-
pensible step in system of juster tax
alton" 1t is tae only way in which tax
alton can be equalizel among III. fifty
five counties of the STATE. In the early
asitory of the territory composing West
Virginia, when the only pursuit was
agriculture, it was comparatively easy
TO cqualizc values. Now West Virginia
is on Of the most diversified states I'M
the Union There are the fruit grow
ing sections, tine cattle and sheep regions
and the grazing parts; the Eastern Pan
handle 50 dissimilar TO Ia. Northern
Panhandle; the mountain Tegions. and
the valleys of the Ohio and Of the Great
and Little Kunawaa rivers; the lime.
stone and bluegrass soils Of Atonros
Greenbri,r. etc; the oil and gas regions:
the far interior counties yet unpierced
by railroads; tae iimbercd sections, de
ve!oped and undsveloped, And there
are the counties having coal, some de-
velopment has not yet begun; and in
each coal county there are differing
seams Of coal. two three or five in num-
her, OF varying thickness and quality aud
value. 1t i Impossible for any board
Of equalization 70 eduiliz. with approx
mate equality and Justice the value OF
the property among taeso ffty-fve
counties. Moreover IS developm mt
progresses the task becomes more diff
cult because the difference becomes
more accentuated.
But by aboli=hing all State t,,xss we
accomplish perfect equality among the
counties, for then they no longer pay
into a common fund. and it win make
no difference to one county whetiser
land is assessed at five cents of fifty
dollars PER acre in amy other county
Thirdly. the abolition of the State
taxes gives nome rule or local op.
tfon8 in taxation. After 1907 all the
taxes assessed in any county will b. for
home purposes, and the only problem is
10 cqualiza taxes among neighbors in
that county. Thus we accomplish in
this one act equality in taxation, home
rule in taxation, and economy in home
government.

A SERIOUS JOKE

true things spoken in iast Even jokes
are serious matters when they involve
tha liberties, the prosperity. the pro-
gress and dcstinies Of sO.0OOOo0 people
The thinking voter must not take the
Democratic campaign a a joke. He
must not feel 50 confident Of tie elec.

own vote on November 8.
Not only should Roosevelt be elected
by an overwhelming majority, and with

never again attempt to foist upon the

MARYLAND.

| Baltimore. Nov. 9.--On the face of | unofficial returns of the vote cast on
 Tuesday received here up to late hour | tonight. Maryland Is Republican on the
 Presidential ticket by a small major | ity. An official count may be required
 to decide the result. Three Republican Congressman, Frank c. Wachter, Syd-
 were surely reelected by good majorf-
 ties. Three Democrats, Thomas A. Smith, J. F. c. Talbot. reelected, and
 JCbn Gill were returned elected.
 ! Congressman H. W. Jackson, Repub- lican, of the First District, claims that frauds or trick ballots were used son
 the district and while he admits that the count of the ballots show that Smith was elected, says he will contest the seat before the House.
 Returns from St. Mary's County show a peculiar result. The figures for the county give Roosevelt and Fairbanks 1,166: Parker and Davis, I,223, while Mudd, Republican, received 1,562 and his Democratic opponent is credited with only 1,o12. The falling off in the vote indicated for Roosevelt in the State is largely due to the result in that county which is familiarly known as the Black Belt ."
 Chairman Hanna. Collector of Gus toms William F.. Stone of Baltimore. who was sergeant at arms of the St. Louis Convention, and other prominent Republicans, claim Maryland rolled up at least 1.500 majority for the Presi- dential ticket, while Chairman Vandi- yer of the Democratic State Central Committee and other leaders of that party aver that the electoral vote of the State will be cast for Parker and Davis. .,

LEFT VERY HURRIEDLY
PREACHER RECEIVED WARNING FROM RUssELLvILLE CITIZENS.
Remarks in a Sermon in Reference to q Halloween Party Result in Mass Meeting and Committee
 of Notification.

Tuscumbia, Nov.. s-fSpeeial)-4 Parties of this city in attendance upon court In Russellville, the county seat of Franklin, which joins Colbert on thG south, on their return to Tuscumbts Monday night, brought tho news of q most sensational episode in that little city yesterday. in which Rev. F. H Watkins, a well-known minister and pastor of the Russellville Baptist Church, prominently figured. As a result, Watkins was "deported." It seems that the pastor, who would essay to initiate Sam Jones, and who att tempts to be sensational. made use of Incorporate and uncalled-for remarks in his pulpit last Sunday. thoroughly arousing and iniaming the people of his congregation, and other denomina- tions. to determined action.
 It Is said that in referring to Hal lowe'en party given the previous week in Russellville, he remarked that 1t was no less than a "hugging match" i for the married men and women, and that the girls were so tightly squeezed by the boys that they were too sore to appear the next day. Other. statements are said to have been made by the minister, unsuited to publication and the refined ear of his congregation.
 A meeting of citizens was hurriedly
  were adopted denouncing the minister. and a committee of fifty appointed to walt upon him to notify him that his presence was repulsive to the people of Russellville.
 The committee meant business. and the preacher caught the first train out of RusselIvllle, which landed him in Tuscumbia at ! o'clock last night. He remained at a local hotel until the hrst train came through, which was at l2:10, and this he boarded, going east.
 Watkins held a meeting in Tuscum- bia two years ago, during which he gave utterance to many sayings which shocked his hearers. Many persons re- fused to listen to his sermons, which are said to have been punctuated with vulgar and obscene illustrations. He Is a talented man, attractive in person and manner and an eloquent pulpit speaker. He delivered the sermon to the graduating class of the public school in this city last May. year ago.
