1t is not strange that the large
number of accidents on our rail.
roads recently should have invited
criticism from a prominent Lon
don journal. Certainly the list of
casualties is an appalling one. In
1902 there were S,58S persons kill
ed and 1862 injured on our rail.
roads, and last year the number
was increased to 9,S40 killed and
1858 injured. This year, judg-
ing from the number of accidents
recently reported, there is reason
to fear that these numbers will be
much increased. 1t is of course
imI oesible to avoid many accidents.
But it is also possible to greatly
cut down their number. judging
from the experience of Great Bri-
tain, where the proportion of cas-
uslties TO the number of passen-
gers carried is much less than in
this country. In less than 10 years
the casualties on our railroads have
doubled, a showing which certainly
ought to call for more caution in
the operation of the roads. Some
of the roads are operated with
great care, but others are not up to
the standard OF course the num-
Der of persons killed is but very
small percentage indeed of those
who travel, and the same may be
aid of the injured. Nevertheless
both lists are much too large.

ADVISE YOURSELF.

Every property owner ought to
advise himself thoroughly and in
teIIigently as 10 the provisions OF
the new tax law before he makes
up his mind no he will cast his
vote in November.
A vote once cast cannot be re-
called. nor undone; its work per-
formed the voter is helpless for
prevention or cure. There is moth
ing to be done to cure the evil,
wrong or mistake of an election.
If the people of West Virginia
endorse the new tax law by their
votes in November they must then
accept the consequences as the re-
suit of their own voluntary action,
and try to live under the poverty
and bankruptcy it will entail
There will then be neither escape
from, nor remedy for, the misfor-
tunes that will fall to their lot.
Neither real estate nor personal
property will be exempt from the
ravishment of the tax gatherer
after January first, 1905.
Four months hence the work
will begin of reassessing and re-
vauling the property of ever kind
in the state. The revaluation of
the property will be upon the basis
of the new law, which provides:
SEQ. IL, Chap. A, of the Acts of
the special session:
All property = shall be as
sessed at 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 suoh terms as
suoh property. the value of which
is sought to be ascertained, is usu-
ally sold, and not the price which
might be realized if such property
were sold at forced sale.
Read, consider, think and then
vote.-Parkersburg Sentinel.
