PORTER

Frank F. McCaulley sprung a
surprise on his host of friends in
this city by going to Parkersburg
last night and being quietly mar
ried to Miss Leila Porter of that
city. The happy couple arrived
here this morning on the 1914
train, and will make this city
their permanet place of residence.
The bride is a very attractive
and popular young lady, and pos
sesses a large circle of friends in
her home city.
The groom is a highly esteemed
and worthy young man. He holds
a lucrative position as book-keeper
with the Carter Oil company, and
is a brother of George McCaulley,
who is also a book-keeper for the
same firm.
Mr.. McCaulley is a prominent
member of the military organiza-
ton of this city, being captain of
the company.
The newly-wedded young cou-
pie were the recipients today of
numerous congratulations from
their friends.

One of the intangible beauties
of the new tax law is that the
owner of the "real estate must
pay taxes on the coal, oil and gas
under the surface-that is, the
farmer must pay on everything
appurtenant to his land, over it,
in it or under it, while the owner
of the leasehold estate pays moth
ing. The farmer pays, but the
lessee doesn't. The operator who
takes out the coal, or the oil. or
the gas does not pay taxes IN his
product. but the person in whom
is vested the title to the real
estate" is taxed with everything
pertaining to the property. That
is one of the beauties OF tax re-
form that will not find much IA
vor with the farmers.

OF INTEREST TO EVERY ONE.


day a remarkable official letter
sent out by NJ. A. Kendall, Com
missioner of Banking for this
State. The features of this letter
most noticeable is the implied
threat to the bankers of the State
that unless they support the Re-
publican ticket there will be some
thing doing, but in the event that
their support goes that way, and
brings success to the Republican
ticket then their assessments are
to be kept down below what Mr..
Kendall himself says they ought le-
gally and honestly to be, but "all
other property appraised at its
face value"
Now, as to Mr.. Kendall. lie IS
the appointee of Gov. White and
no doubt the promisee of Dawson
to a rich State office, but the du-
ties are so ineXacting that he has
plenty of time to act as a pro-
moter of the interests of the pres
ent State house combine.
But the letter itself. Note the
remarkable sentence conveying
the threat:
If after mature considera-
ton it should be found that
the Act will work an injus-
tice to the banking fraternity
it will doubtless be repealed
before it ever takes effect.
Read that sentence over once
or twice and gather its full i'm
port and significance before form
inc a conclusion as to its intent
and purpose. Mr.. Kendall says
that, if after mature consideration
the act will be found to work an
Injustice to the bankers it will be
repealed before it ever takes eff
feet. There is no mistake about
what mature consideration may
mean. Nor, either, the pledge to
repeal the law before it ever
takes effect. Conceding to Mr..
Kendall all that he knows, and all
that he thinks he knows, yet we
are constrained to assert that un-
til the law has been in operation,
tested by experience, it is impos-
sible for him with all his great
knowledge to tell whether it will
work an injustice to the bankers
or not.
But is it any more unjust to as
seSs the banks upon the voluntary
salable value of their possessions
than it is to assess the farmers
and other real estate holders cat
the price at which they would
voluntarily sell their landY"
Mr.. Kendall thinks it is, and
so declares himself. He is of the
opinion that bankers will be as
sessed lower than other property
owners are assessed, because he
says so. This conclusion of his is,
we take it, based upon the way
the bankers vote. But, he prom
Uses, insofar as his conclusions
reach, that the bankers assess
ments shall be kept down to the
figure which is fixed by. as Mr..
Kendall terms him, "the banker
with a flexible conscience" The
pledge is made directly and pos
itively to the bankers that their
assessments may remain where
they are now. But what are the
conditions essential to the fulfill
ment of this pledge by the as
sessing authorities. Ask Mr.. Ken.

speak by authority, and one per-
haps authorized to make pledges.
Republicans who are honest
and who have studied the tax
laws will very frankly admit they
are wrong, but they say the OBJ
noxious laws can be repealed.
They can and will he. but they
will not be repealed if Dawson is
elected for the very good reason
his election is an out-and-out en-
dorsement of the new tax laws,
and it is simply nonsense to say
a candidate, representing the tax
reform issue as Dawson does can
be elected and then expected to
repeal the very law he was elect
ed to enforce. Dawson defeated
Teter for the nomination for Gov
ernor simply because Dawson was
known as a radical tax reformer.
He is now running for Governor
upon the tax question as an issue.
If he is elected it means the vo-
tiers have endorsed his methods
and he would be simply a gigan-
tic and tremendous fraud and de-
ceiver if he was to turn around
and have the very laws he now
advocates and was elected to en-
force, repealed. He will not do so.
Hill voted for these laws, and is
not going to oppose them. He is
opposed to taxing railroads, oil,
coal and gas except the interests
in the coal, oil and gas the far
mers own. He has voted for just
such a law, and if he should
change his mind another meeting
at the Fl. Henry club in Wheeling
will be held and then all will be
lovely again.

Rubber for Tires.

Automobile makers are beginning to
worry already over a possible substi-

that the demand for this material has
increased rapidly the last few years,
the importations into the United States
alone the last year being s9.O00.000
over those of 1908. This means, it is
said, that rubber trees are being over
taxed and that there is danger of their
dying out. The consumption of rubber
