revenues, and the Governor was obliged
to veto items involving nearly 100000 in
the last appropriation bill to prevent that
deficit from reaching nearly million dol
lars by the time the next legislature con-
vened The system of management that
brings such results is criminally wasteful
The effects are seen in the strenuous eff
forts now being made to change our sys-
TEN of taxation to q new one which
would paralyze investments and bear
harshly upon every taxpayer, all to get
more money to continue an era of eX-
travagance that has never had a parallel
in the history of the State.
As an example of this wasteful ex-
penditure of money, we publish the fol-
lowing comparative statement of the
number and cost of legislative attaches in
the year 1898, the last legislature con-
trolled in both branches by the Demo
cratic party, and the number and cost of
such attaches in the legislature of
1903 at its regular session. The
comparison is absolutely appalling. But
this table does not show it all. After
the legislature had loaded itself down
with expensive attaches, with no duties
whatever to perform, at a cost to the
State of nearly three times as much as
was necessary TO conduct its business. in
a spirit of jocular extravaganza both
branches passed resolution after resolu-
ton increasing the pay of such attaches,
until finally the auditor refused to pay
any more of them because the legislative
contingent fund had been exhausted.
Four or FIVE thousand dollars more for
attaches paid by these resolutions will
therefore have to be added to the cost of
the session just closed on that account.
The cost of the unnecessary attaches of
this legislature would have nearly paid

The question of taxation, especially
that of direct taxation, is, and always
has been, of vital Importance to the peo-
pie Its discussion at this time is of
particular interest because of its general
agitation in. West Virginia for the past
two years, though for a much longer
period there have been continued sugges-
tions looking to a reformation in our tax
system. The present pronounced agita-
ton began in the adoption of a joint
resolution by the legislature of 1901, pro-
viding for the creation of Tax Com
mission of five members to be appointed
by the Governor. The compensation and
expenses of the members were provided
for and their duties defined by the joint
resolution. These expenses amounted to
about $4,000.
Reason Assigned by Gov. White for Gre
ating Commission.
The reason assigned for the creation
of this commission, as stated by Gov
ernor White in his message to the legis-
lature of 1908, was that it was "neces-
sary to obtain more revenue for State
purposes, and desirable to amend the
laws concerning the subjects, rate, col
lection and disbursements of taxes. in
itself, as well as incidental to the princi-
pal object of increasing the State rev.
enues"
In all the beclouding of issues since
that time, it must not be forgotten that
the movement for tax reform was or
iginated because the Republican leaders
thought it was necessary to have addi-
tional revenues to meet the extrava-
gances of their administration of State
affairs.
Gov. Fleming in 1893 Recommends Tax
Reduction.
All the public buildings of the State
were largely projected and built under
Democratic administrations, and so far
back as 1898 State expenses had been so
much reduced by reason of the compile
ton of public institutions and economy
in their management. that Governor A.
B. Fleming recommended a substantial
reduction in the State levy; but upon
the accession of the Republican party to
power in the legislature OF 1895, and in
every department of the State govern
ment in 1897. an era of profligacy was

inaugurated, which so absorbed the pub
lie revenues that new forms and subjects
of taxation were thought to be required
TO meet public expenses.
Incidental to this purpose of raising
revenues, it was urged that the relative
assessments of real and personal prop
erty in the different counties of the State
were unequal, and that real estate was.
under existing laws, assessed much high
er proportionately in some counties than
in others, and that it always had to bear
a greater share OF tax burdens than in
tangible personal property and the hold
ings of corporate interests.
These were arguments that strongly
appealed to the taxpayers. They looked
with interest for the result of the Tax
Commissions latnrs.
Commission Reco amends Repeal of State
and Sta e School Tax.
The commission reported that if the
tax laws could be revised so as to abro-
gate State and State school taxes en-
tirely, an equalization between counties
which are not now assessed in equal or
fair proportion could be secured; or,
rather, that if State taxes were removed
wholly from lards and property, the
equalization of county valuations would
become a matter of public indifference,
as each county could choose its own
method of assessment and levy without
injustice upon other counties. The State
tax is 25 cents and the State school tax
is 10 cents on the one hundred dollars.
Commission Recommends License Tax on
Coal, Oil and Gas.
The Tax Commission. as before stated
which was appointed for the purpose of
aumenting the revenues of the State by
amending the laws relating to old. and
by bringing in new, subjects of taxa
ton, reached the conclusion that a rad
ical change should be made in the whole
tax system; that the provisions of law
for a levy for State and State school
purposes should be entirely repealed, and
that the State government should be
maintained, as far as possible, by the
imposition of new and an increase on old
license taxes, particularly upon the bus
mess of mining and producing coal, oil
and gas, and also license taxes upon GER
tain professions; and to balance and

A net increase of about fifty-siX per
cent. 1t will be noted that there are
only seven items on account OF which
the expenditures were less during the
Republican than during the Democratic
administration. In the case OF four OF
these items Normal Schools) the de-
crease is due to the fact that over seven
ty-five thousand dollars was laid out IN
building during the years lS93-4-5-6, In
the item of Public Printing etc, the de-
crease is due to the fact that the DIT
f,rent State institutions have, during the
last four or five years, borne the expense
of their own printing, and also to the
accumulation of a large surplus, OWING 10
-, very large appropriations made our
inc the intermediate four years, amount
inc TO Sl74.697; and the latter reason Is

II will be observed that the increase

npnt improvements naturally arises, put
is equally apparent in other items that
do not include any acquisition of prop
ertv for the State; as for instance, Leg

sion of the legislature.
None of the other items appearing in
the table run through the entire period
of twelve years, and each would have to
be taken up separately to ascertain
whether or not it should have been made.
Among the number of special appropria-
tons that were uniustifable, may be
mentioned that of Military Claims, for

vision Committee for $500. The former
consisted of Anticipated Civil War claims,
that had been unhesitatingly repudiated
a quarter of a century back by the Re-
publican Senate, and the latter, after
many tedious sittings, wound up with
out any results other than expanding ITS
appropriation.

For twenty five years the Republican

five years the Republican party in every
State platform demanded control of the
State under the most solemn pledges OF
reforming such extravaganza in public al
fairs. AT last it was successful, and how
has it redeemed its pledges? The reve-
nues of the State have been more than
doubled in the last ten years, the public
buildings have nearly all been completed,
and yet so eXtravagant and incompetent
has the management of public affairs
been, that there was in 1908 an acknowl-
edged deficit of over 100000 in the State
