The editor of the daily World has
at last, after long and persistent re-
search found a point in the new tax
law where the taxpayers are going to
save money. Yes. indeed, indeed they
are! He says they are going to save
IS cents every time they have the title
to real estate transferred, but he over
looks the fact that the clerk gets 25c
for giving the transfer to the assessor
and so the saving is the great sum oil
so cents. Now this would be an i'm.
portant item If the farmers sold five or
six farms every day but as the aver
age farmer does not sell more than
one farm in his life he will during his
life save 5oc.and yet the fakirs poiut
with pride to the great saving in real
estate transfers.

Sincerely Yours.
Anothy Sun 18th.

Heretofore quantity of personal
property on farms has been exempt
BY law, but the Acts of the special
session have changed all that.
UudeI the new law the farmer must
give in everything, Section 100. chap
ter a, is mandatory on this point, aud
rrescribes in detail that the farmer
shall give to the assessor as follows:
(c) the number of horses, mules, &c.
and the value Thereof:
(d) the number of cattle and the
value thereof:
(e) the number of sheep aud the
value thereof:
q the number of hogs and the val.
ue thereof:
81 the value of farming and gard.
ening utensils and implements;
(h) the value of agricultural prod.
ucts and the products OF animals;
There is the list the farmer must
give to the assessor. Horses, colts, COW
calves. wheat, corn. potatoes, plows
wagons, even garden utensils, must
now pay their share to the tax gath.
erer. There is no escape from it. And
why? That the corpoI atoms, the coal
oil and gas may go scot free, untrou.
bled by the assessor and undisturbed
by the tax gctherer. The farmers in.
teres,s are traded off. they are LET,
helpless and without prot ection be-
cause they are not com bined, they
lack cohesion, they are Indifferent t.
their own interest S.

Mr., William 7. Hubbard, an emf.
nent lawyer, member OF the orlgi-
nal tax commission and OF the Re
publican auction committee which
sold CUT tne people " tAe CORPORA
tons OF the state, was here and spoke
at the Opera house en- last Thursday
night. We were not present. but are
informed, that ne took occasion to
reading just Two and halt lines itoIn
the Statesman of September 30 which
said that the original tax bills as for
mulated by the tax commission were
what the people needed. This caused
a laugh among the few who were still
present, He then went on to say that
the new tax laws are the exact bills
recommended by that commission. Mr.
Hubbard from the reputation that pre-.
ceded him, certainly could not have
raised himself in the estimation OF his
audience by such a statement. He
knew when he made that statement,
If he made it, that it was not true and
that it would be an insult to the in-
telligence of any man of the least
knowledge on the subject.
Mr.. Hubbard helped to frame both
sets OF bills. He has the reputation OF
being an able and honest man, but he
seems to have fallen into Gordon
Dayton's sin of trying to bunco the
people into the belief that they pass
ed the tax commission S bills when as
fact there is hardly enough of the old
bills left in the new law to recognize
1t at all.
Mr.. Hubbard ought to have fairnes:
enough about Kim to have read a,
least few lines more or the whole
article which did not contain IN ore
than twenty lines, but no, there wa.
a singer in it. 1t told bow he hac
yielded to .s.r. Dayton as the repre-
sentative OF the trusts and corpora
tons and lett out the very bone o
tax reform the tax on the production
of coal, oil and gas.
Martinsburg statesman. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1869-1906, 1904-11-04

The most cowardly trick yet resort
ed by the advocates OF the new tax in
fanny, is the circular which is
now being sent to every voter de-
claring that the copies ofthe Acts sent
ovt by the democratic committee dc
not contain the tax laws as passed at
the extra session. This is done in
order to keep the people from reading
and informing themselves as to those
laws. The Republican managers dare
not submit their work to public scru-
tiny. What sneaking campaign they
are Conducting to be sure.

TO SCHOOL PATRONS.

The School Boards throughout the
County, excepting Gerardstown dis
trict have again failed to have, for
and against power to levy on the cleo
ton tickets. The tickets are now
printed and the only way TO avoid the
necessity of holding another special
election is for the voters, or some con-
siderable number to vote on the sub
ject by writing For power to levy
on the bottom OF their tickets and the
number of months they wish the
schools to run.

The great and only Rossi M. Fisbe

The great and only Rossi M. Fisher
of the county of Morgan was in town
on Wednesday. This is election time
and Rossi is very busy, we presume as
usual seeking something to devour in
the form of slush. but we are glad
it was the other fellows he was after
this time. He has our best wishes
that he may pull them as heavily as
he ever did the Democrats.

whose craftsmanship and rep ublican-

by selfish ambition. We are now ask

ms Will be the last issue of the
Statesman until the votes are counted
and the results aseertained. We have
earnestly tried to impress upon the
voters the Importance OF weighing the
matter OF voting to their intesest.
J We have carefully pointed out the
tuiquities OF the new tax laws and
how they will weigh upon the poor
people and the people Of moderate
means and have carefully avoided
making statements that are net
borne ont by the laws itself. Every
body IN Berkeley eounty,w we regret to
say, does not read the Statesman,
though more than 1900 copies are seut
out each week to subscribers, but W.
will suggest that those who do read t
and are posted upon the effects of the
new tax laws will do well not oaly to
vote against it them selves butmake 1t
: Point . 'ei' thci- naivhs ors how the
laws will effect them and thus extend
the good work. There are many men
who are so blindly partisan that no
Argument could cause them 10 vote
against the nominees of their party.
but we are happy to say that there
are large number with whom word
from a neighbor in whom they have
confidence viii go long ways. We
are Convinced that if the new tax laws
are properly set before this class there
will be no doubt about the defeat OF
NO. i.-4 i. . st4.d sol .los1 laws.
We solemnly and seriously warn
all voters to put no confidence in
the premises to repeal the tax laws
Ii Mr.. Dawson and Republican leg
islature are elected this fall they will
at once proclaim it is au endorse
ment of the tax laws ana they will
not only let them remain but still
ut more burdens upon the larm-
ers and the working people who may
be blessed with little property.

THE LOLLYPOP.

We have eaten all kinds O.. candy, But have ate nothing so handy, AS the lollypop on the stick; It is nice, sweet and thick. When we first commence to eat We think it's the best of sweetmeat Until at last we get to the stick, And there's nothing more to lick. The lollypop is all the rage, And is considered the best made, Until it gets out of date, And then it's little late. Perhaps this you have never read, And it might not stay in your head, But when you get another lollypop, You will probably think a whole lot The next will be the lollypop song, Before the raging candy is gone.
 IC. A. H.
