Chapter ighteen8 is 1. a money max max
ing 1aw;for regulating the sale Of lands
for the benefit of the school fund
Tax Levies for School Purposes
Chapter nineteen is another very
important bill. relating to education,
reducing the levies for the building
fund, and imposing other restrictions
about the same, and also regulating
the emergency levies which are now
authorized to be made when necessary
to maintain five months school.
The "building fund" IS the fund to
provide school houses, furniture, fuel,
etc, and under existing law the Boards
of Education can levy tax of forty
five cents on the hundred dollars tor
this purpose. In the future this levy
is restricted to twenty cents, except
when a new building is being erected
and an added tax is absolutely neces-
sary. The effect of the law is, in nine
out of every ten districts in the State,
to insure a saving of twenty cents in
the tax levies.
The teachers fund tax remains at
a maximum of fifty cents. If necessary
school a special or emergency levy is
authorized; but only in order to get
enough money to run the school five
months.
Pertentiary Guards.
Chapter twenty authorizes the APP
pointment and use Of penitentiary
guards 10 convey convicts from jails.
A Money Saver Conveying Convicts.
Chapter twenty-one prescribes how
c0nvicts shall be taken from the coun-
ties to the penitentiary.s This act will
save the State. in about two years, the
entire cost OF the special session Of
the Legislature 1t relieves the sher-
ifs Of this duty and imposes it upon
guards from the penitentiary, thus in
surfing a great saving to the State over
the present method of taking a deputy
sheriff for each prisoner.
State Reform School.
Chapter twenty-five reduces i'll num-
Der the directors and reorsanizes the
board of the State Reform School. The
acr provides that the counties having
inmates shall pay $4,000 annually
toward the education and care of in
mates from their counties. This law is
based on justice and will save money
both to the counties and to the State
by preventing some Of the abuses liz
commitments TO this institution.
West Virginia Asylum
Chapter twenty-three is similar
measure to the above and applies to
the West Virginia Asylum or Home
for Incurables.'
Conclusion.
In this summary Of the several acts
it will be seen that the intention of
the Legislature is to
Lower local~-taX rates,
Fcuualize assessment values,

Make all corporations list their prop
erty accurately,
Abolish direct State taxes.
Raise State revenues from license
and privilege taxes.
Do justice to the small taxpayers.

More Justly distribute governmental
burdens,
Make fair and reasonable tax laws,
Systemic and create a head to the
taxing system of the State,
Deal fairly and impartialfy with all
interests.
Make every interest carry its fair
share of taxation

Chapter fifteen is one Of the most
important acts and provides for the re-
assessment Of all the lands of the
State in 1905, upon which the tax
levics OF 1906 will he laid. No other
assessment OF real estate is provided
for until the year 1909. The as
sessnenr mist be completed and
the books fled on or before August l.
The State Tax Commissioner appoints
one commissioner from each county.
Assistants may be appointed If APP
proved by the Board OF Public Works.
All real estate must be assessed at it's
true value. The law intakes the county
court a board Of equa liZatiOn in each
county, and the State Board of Public
Works acts as final board of equal
izatiOn. 1t is the most complete SyS-
TEN yer devised for occurring an accu-
rate assessment OF the real estate

or no system. This one assessment
holds until 1909, when the work of as
&cssing real estate will be done by the
regularly elected county assessor.
Prohibiting Expenditures.
Chapter sixteen fOrbidS the unau-
thOriZod expenditure OF public moneys
by any officer of State, by any county
court or board of education; prohibits
them from making unauthorized pub
lie improvements, creating thereby 4
public debt. This law alone is worth
several times the cost of the special
session of the Legislature, and is a dis
tinct reform measure.
Methods of Accounting.
Chapter seventeen provides for SUI
pervision Of, and uniform method in,
the accounting of public Institutions,
thus effecting economies. :

July Magazine Notes.

Privilege has had some fairly hard
raps of late, and the American people
have a pretty clear idea that Mr..
Roosevelt will give it few more be-
fore he lays down his Office. Both
those who buy what they should not
have and those who bulldoze are be-
ing taught their place in a democracy
where each is as good as his fellow
man, but no better. The gentry in
the Government Printing Office who
had expected to turn the public SER
vice into "closed shop, and to ad-
NIT and reject whom they chose, were
brought up with a round turn in the
Miller case. The people liked that
tremendously. The greatest magnates
in the land, aided by shrewdest law
yers, organized huge corporation in
violation of law. The Supreme Court,
at the instance of the administration,
ordered it to dissolve. The people
liked that tremendously too. There
is conviction throughout the country
that the interests of the plain people,
who ask nothing of the Government
but ample protection in their right tC
earn an honest living III their owl
way, are looked after by Mr.. Roose
velt, and that he does not forget them
when under pressure from the politi
