A DISTINGUISHED lawyer Of Cen
trail West Virginia calls the attention
of the editor of the REGISTER to what
is perhaps the most pernicious of ali
the fragrant injustices in the new tax
laws recently enacted by the Repub-
lican Legislature. Section GO Of the
assessment law is a re-enactment Of
the old law, to which the following
clause has been surreptitiously added:
"The shares of capital stock OWED
by residents of this STATE in corpora
lions actually located in other States,
and those property is taxed by the laws
Of such other State, shall not be re-
quired to be listed for taxation"
This means that the owners Of
stocks and bonds in the great indus
trial companies, in banks and in
mining companies do not have to
give to the assessor a list of their
property. 1t is said that Senator
Scott holds such securities to the
amount of$7,000,000, and there's no
telling how great proportion Of Sen
ator Elkins's vast wealth is invested
in the same way.
All man will have to do under
thi. law is to invest his money in the
stocks and bonds and in the banks Of
other States, and he can laugh at the
ax-gatherer.
AS for the farmer and real estate
owner, it can readily be seen where
they come in. They cannot cover
their property, and all that the owner
of stocks and bonds evades will be
piled upon them. 1t will be many a
long year before there can be any re.
duction of the tax on real estate, if
the millions OF property above named
shall escape taxation entirely.

JOSEPH G. CANNON, Speaker Of the
House Of Representatives, has been
Safeguarding his way through West
Virginia the past week, leaving
trail Of profanity and blasphemy be-
hind him. A sample of his remarks
at one place, Huntington, will be suf-
fcient to show the manner Of man
that is electionesring for President
Roosevelt. This small-bore Cannon
was in Huntington the same day that
Hon Henry G. Davis and his party
were there, and he referred to Mr..
Davis as "your distinguished citizen
who thinks he il running for Vice
President. If he should be elected, ="
he said, 1.-The Vice-President doesn t
amount to anything-he is only a
shadow. He can't appoint anything
but page and telephone boy, and
can only win power Oy waiting for a
dead mans shoes"
Cannon attacked Parker and the
Democratic managers bitterly and
said If they are such cheats and
frauds, what the devils the use in
putting them in? If God Almighty
doesn't know Parker better than you
and did eighteen months ago, he is
lost for time and eternity"
Commenting on the Democratic
charges of Republican extravaganza,
he threw up his arms and shouted,
MY God, what cheek !" To the
credit of the Huntington Republicans
it must be said that they were dis
gusted at Caunon's roughness and
profanity, and there WAS little enthu-
si,sm over him.
President Roosevelt and his party
are pretty hard up for csmpaigners
when they have to send such coarse,
ill-bred blasphemers as Cannon on
the stump. This same Cannon is the
fellow who has the uneuviable record
Of being the only man who on the
floor Of Congress used such vulgar
language that his remarks could not
be printed. 1t was during a debate
in the House that he spoke in such
a filthy way that ladies in the gal
leries arose and in shame left the
place with blushing faces. Cannon
received deserved castigation in the
public press such as few men ever get,
and the New York Sun pu lished a
cut of his dirty mouth, with aPprO-
pirate comments.
Speaker Cannon makes a mistake
if he thinks West Virginians approve
of his roughness and discourtesy.

THE trip of Hon. Henry G. Davis

The trip of Hon. Henry ". DAVIS
and his eminent Democratic colleagues
through West Virginia has been the
most remarkable political event this
State has ever known. Vast crowds
of enthusiastic people have greeted
them everywhere, and in the larger
towns where they have spoken at
night no building has been found
large enough to hold the audiences.
Senator Daniel, ex-senator Hill, ex-
Governor Whyte and the other speak
ers have given feast of political ora
tory and logic that has simply cap
tured the people en- maese, and Mr..
Davis's plain talk and solid argument
have made him many votes. At
Fairmont Ex-Governor Fleming preai-
ded at an enormous meeting, and in
Wheeling the great tent used TOR pollt-
ical meetings was filled and another
hall had to be hired. At Parkers-
burg both of the theaters were filed
to overlooking.
The party went from Parkersburg
to Huntington by the Ohio River
Railroad, great crowds gathering at
every stop. At Huntington and
Charleston they had splendid meet
ings. Thi. week the special has been
over the Chesapeake and Ohio and
Norfolk & Western roads. Tuesday
at Bluefeld business was suspended
and thousands gathered To hear Mr..
Davis, Senator Daniel and other
speakers. Mr.. Davis made charac-
teristic speech, in which he referred
to "the accidental President, the
Rough Rider who was never elected
to the presidency, and l don't believe
he ever will be. Then he declared
that if Parker is sent to the White
House eve will have an old-fashioned
Democratic administration and no
Booker Washington dinners, either"
The tour has been splendid sue
cess in every respect, and the Democ-
racy of West Virginia has been
aroused to the greatest enthusiasm.
The tour ended last night at Wayne,
on the Norfolk and Western Railroad.
Senator Davis made a recapitulatlon
Of his trip, showing that he hast
eled 1900 miles, made IS speeches in
rs places and has spoken to considera-
bly, more than 100000 persons. He
crossed the State four times and en-
tered % counties, which embraces
three-fourths Of the population Of the
State.

The dickens is to pay among the
Republicans in West Virginia. The
Democrats are gaining ground so ire
mendOusly 1t is quite evident that they
will elect their State ticket and prob
ably win the Legislature, while the
splendid success that Hon Henry G.
Davis has met with makes it reasona-
bly, sure they Will also get its elector-
al vote. The result Is a panic among
the Republican leaders Senator
Elkins and Senator Scott want to let
Dawson and the State ticket go and
concentrate all efforts toward saving
the Legislature. Chairman Cortel-
you Of the national committee says
sacrifice everything in the interest Of
the electoral vote. Mr.. Dawson is
making his fight for life, and thinks
the State ticket must be first.
It's pretty kettle of fish, and with
80 many conflicting elements and or
ders the local managers are about
ready to give up in disgust.

SOME of the Republicans say that
no harm will be done by the new tax
laws, even if the valuation of farms,
houses, lots and personal property
such as live stock, etc is doubled or
trebled, because, they say, all the
other property in the State subject to
taxation will be treated exactly the
same way. If all property is assessed
high, then the levy may be reduced
for all alike.
Unfortunately this argument does
not hold good. All property will not
be assessed the same way. The farms
and houses and personal property will
be assessed by an assessor under heavy
bond, at the direction Of the State
Tax Commissioner, Eat It's true and
actual value; that is to say: at the
price for which such property would
sell if voluntarily offered for sale by
the owner thereof, upon snch terms as
such property, the value of which is
sought to be ascertained, is usually
sold, and not the price which might
be realized if such property were sold
at a forced sale.
On the other hand, the railroads of
tie State are to be assessed just ex-
actly as they have always been assess
ed, by the Board of Public Works.
1t is matter of common knowle ]ge
that under this system not one rail-
road pays taxes on anything like its
real value-nowhere approaching it.
What reason is there to suppose trat
Mr.. Dawson's Board of Public Works,
in the event be should be elected,
would do any better than the present
board? Indeed, we have no idea
that it would do as well. Governor
White made as honest an effort as
any man could make to increase the
assessment of the railroads, but he
utterly failed because the other men,
bers of the board declined to give
him their support, Mr.. Dawson, can
didate for Governor, is secretary Of
that board Auditor ScheF, candi-
date for reelection, is a member ;
State Superintendent of Schools Thos.
c. Miller, candidate for reelection,
is another. Clark W. May, candi-
date for Attorney General, is cor
poration attorney Charles W. Swish
er, candidate for Secretary Of State,
is controlled absolutely by the rail-
roads. The railroads would have
the Republican Board of Works un-
der their thumbs absolutely, and
would use their power as never before.
1t would take the faith Of Abra-
ham, Isaac and Jacob all together
and then great deal more, for any
reasonable man to believe that Mr..
Dawsons Board of Public Works
would assess the railroads of West
Virginia at their true and actual
value.

The New Tax Law and the Merchant

That section OF the new law regard
ing assessment of property in West
Virginia gets after the merchants with
thoroughness. In chapter 4, section
80, it is required that the merchant
shall between April and June make
written report to the assessor of his
business, including the following:
l. The amount and value of all prop
erty used in connection with his bust
ness.
2. The true and aetna! vakHc Of all
goods and property kept for sale and
remaining unsold.
3. The amount of money on hand,
whether in or out of the State.
4. The amount of all book accounts,
notes, etc, whether due or not.
). The amount and value of all in
vestments.
6. The location, quantity and true
and actual value of all real estate owned.
If the merchant has any debts
which he desires to be placed as an
offset, he may present them by max
ing an itemized statement, supported
by affidavit, showing the amount Of
each debt, to whom made, to whom
owing and when payable. This state
ment il filed with the assessor. and
the assessor files the same with the
county clerk.
No such inquisitorial process has
ever before been known in this StateI
and unless this law is changed or re-
pealed it will practically require every
merchant to take stock in the spring
and lay bare every detail Of his bus
mess. The following is the copy Of
the oath that the merchant is COM
PEELED to take.
II do solemnly swear that the fore
going list is true and correct one %
the hes; Of my knowledge; that the
value affixed 10 the property therein
listed believe 10 be true and actual
value thereof by which | mean the
price at which said property would sell
if voluntarily sold ON such terms as are
usually employed in the sale Of such
property, and not the price which might
be obtained if sold at forced sale or
auction sale that none of the assets
belonging TO me have since the first Of
April of last year, been converted into
non-taXable securities for the purpose
of evading the taxes thereon so help

President Roosevelt is up against
serious proposition, and whichever
way be decides it there is trouble for
him. 1t appears that soldier in the
U. S Army, a white man named John
T. Smith, stationed at Fort Mott,
New Jersey, recently married a negro
woman. The other men as well as
the officers at the post were greatly
disguised, and Surgeon Sparrenberger
called for Smiths discharge. His rec
ommendation was forwarded to Brig
adier.General Frederick D. Grant,
who approved of the call for the dis
charge Of Smith from the army. Smith,
who had refused to resign when re.
ouested to do 50, is protesting against
his proposed llsmiss4l, and says be
has violated no Jaw of the State Of
New Jersey or any order of the army.
He is quoted as saying "if President
Roosevelt sat at dinner with negro,
it is my right to wed my choice re-
gardless of creed or color" Smith ia
from Nebraska, and the woman is
typical negress from Southern Mary
land. The papers in the case have
been forwarded from one army officer
to another, and yesterday Surgeon
General O Reilly added his approval
to the recommendation for Smith 8
discharge. This brings the matter
squarsly before Secretary TAFT and
President Roosevelt, and it is up to
them to say whether they will declare
against mixed marriages or whether
this government shall approve OF mis-
cegenation. The probability is that
the matter will not be decided until
after the election.

to defend Mr.. Dawson by saying that

lie therefore not responsible.
