ARREARS FOR GROUND RENT.

Attention Republicans.

There is emily one way for republic
can to mark his ballot and feel GER
in that it will not be spoiled and
thrown out. and that is to draw a
line from top to bottom through every
ticket on the ballot except the republic
can ticket, and thus vote the repuhi'
can ticket straight.
Four years ago the republicans lost
from 100 to $50 votes in this county
by having pallots thrown out because
of being improperly marked.
THIS year the democrats are encour-
aging the scratching of tickets for
two-fold purpose, viz: for the barely
possible hope that some one of their
county candidates may be polled
through. and that the scratching OF
ballots will cause more tickets to be
thrown out and not counted.
If You want your vote counted for
Roosevelt and Fairbanks, don't make
the mistake of listening TO democratic
advice to scratch the ticket as to any
other candidate, because it may be
thrown out for the very reason.

proviue taat all property shall be as.
sessed at its true ana actual value.
From tnis ployisicn no class of p OPP
erty is excepted. 1t may be that as
sessments NAV be doubled. but there
is nothing in that provision that re-
quires more money to be raised off
the property.
The reason for assessing all property
at it's true and az tual value is to get
the same standard for tax purposes.
AS it stands under the present law the
farms and homes are assessed an aver
age of go per cent of their value, coal
land at 10 per cent, railroads at ~ t,
90 per cent, oil wells at ! to per
cent, timber. lands at to 10 per cent.
Yet all pay taxes at the same rate of
levy. The only way to obtain equality
is to assess all at their true and ac-
tual value and reduce the levy to such
figure that no more gross revenue
W II be raised Then. each will pay
their share.
There is property on a business
street in Martiusburg that is assessed
at "a, 500. which is really worth $i3,-
500. There is little proper ty on a
side street assessed for 81. 200, which
is not worth over $l,50H. The tax
levy of this county for county pur-
poses is 80 cents ON the 500 valuation.
The business man is assessed for his
property $4, 500 and pays to the county,
the sum of $22 80. The man who
owns the little home on the side
street, which is assessed for $1,000
pays taxes to the.amount of Sc. The
business man has prouertv ten times
the value of the laboring man. yet
pays only 334 times as much tax.
The new law assesses these two
! properties at their true and actual
value. 1t values the laboring mans
property at $1,000 and the business
mans pr pertv at $3.50 Under
the new tax laws no additional ex-
pense.is imposed upon the county and
1t still has to raise but $2S. 90 on these
two pieces of property. How will it
do this under the assessment at the
true and actual value? BY reducing
the levy to 10 cents on the 800 valu-
alton. AT the 10 cent rate the labor
ing man will pay $2.85.
The business man will pay S2S. so.
Making the same amount of iuoome to
the county under the old law. The
laooring mans taxes are reduced 50. 10
and the business mans increased but
So and each pay an exact proportion.
That is the theory of the new tax
laws and it is bound to work out in
prao tice.

wear 1904. Ia s5. 8e4. 729. The property
owners Of Martinsburg are taxed this
year, % cents for state taxes, 10 cents
for state school tax, so cents for
county purposes. 40 cents for district
teachers and 25 cents for district
buildings. making in all 81 90 on the
800.
The taxes on the valuation for 1904
for state purpose. at 80 cents on tie
600. was $50, $780, 5.
The taxes on the same valuation
in 1907. when the state taxes will be
reduced from IS cents to cents. will
be 81. 532. 80.
Taking the difference in these, the
gross saving to the county in 1907
would be sl7.5 10.
Approximately this wear tile valua-
ton OF the PR perty Of the county was
$6. 600, 600. The county needed for ex-
penses approximately $50. 900 and this
was raised by levy of so cents on
the 500.
1t is reason able to suppose that the
affairs of the county. judieiously
managed by an ECONOMICAL county
court. will not be more expensive in
1907 than they ale in 1904.
Under the new laws the reassessment
Of the property does not go into effect

the matter say the values will double.

alton of sl2,000.0c9, while others
claim that the assessed values will ill.,

Take an average estimate of $15.-
900, 600. On this valuation of Si5, 900, :
0C0 the COUNTY court will be required
to levy only enough cents on the hun
dred dollars to raise $50, 900, which is
assumed to be the expenses of the
county in 1907.
A 20 cent levy on the hundred dol
lars, OF SIS, COO. 600 assessed valuation
will raise as much revenue as a 80
cent lew on valuation of So, 600. 600
This same ratio of decrease in levy
will hold good in the shoot and build
ing fund leyies, reducing the entire
county tag fro n $l.15 on the hundred
dollars to 46 cents. Add to this as
cents in the year 1907, the cents state
tax. and the taxpayer of Martlnsbure
paws 81 cents Oh the hundred dollars.
or just cent more than one-third of
the present levy.

Unequal Assessments.

The inequality of taxation in Mar
insburg as shown by the land books
is q most interesting thing to any one
who will take the time and trouble
to make a careful examination of
them. IL will be invariably found
that the homes in Martinsburg worth
SO, 900 are assessed at about one-third
Sneir value, while the small home.
worth a few hundred dollars is as
essed at from one-half to two-thirds
it's actual value.
A owns property on Queen street.
which he has refused to sell for $40,-
600. and which is assessed at $40. 525.
B owns a property on Queen street
which he purchased some time ago for
sl2, 600. which is assessed st 81, 800.
G owns propeIty which recently
sold for $1o.o5o. This is assessed
at So, 800.
d purchased property for $500
aud is assessed at $4,625.
E has property on one of the resi-
dence streets which he bought for
81, 900, this property was assessed at
"a, 900, but on application to the
county court he had it reduced to
SO. 600
+ has a property on Spring street
that cost Linn 81, 100 and is assessed at
$3.50.
G has a house and lot in Avery's
Addition for which he paid $3.50,
which is assessed at $3.50.
H owns a little home no High street
that cost him $500 and is assessed at
5000.
/ recently bought two lots on the
Cannery addition for 1913, they are
assessed at SIS each.
] owns property that he paid
81. 800 for some time ago.. that is as
sessed at 81. 200.
These few examples taken at ran
dom from the land books show who
pays the taxes in Martinsburg. II
is not the man that owns the valuable
property, but the laborlng man VINO
has bought himself little home and
is working hard, day after dav, to
pay for it in order that in his old age
he may have home that he can call
his own. and will not be beholder tc
any one for shelter, when bis days OF
labor are ended.
The man of means, who is able tc
own a comodious and comfortable
home does not pay taxes in proportion
to the value OF his property, as the
man who has to toll dav after day
to make sufficient to pay the taxes on
his little property.
Is this just and equal taxatoni
Surely not, but that is just what the
old law allows, and what the new
tax laws seek to remedy. Plain it is
that we need some kind OF tax reform.

The Truth.

If all the farmers of Be- kelley
county could have heard the excellent
speeches delivered by Hon. Tavlor
yinson and Governor White in this
city last Tuesday night further dis.
cussion on the tax question would be
entirely unnecessary. However, it is
not at all unreasonable to ask the
readers of tins paper to accept as an
indisputable truth the Governor s
statement when he emphatcallv said
that the new tax law will assuredly
reduce your taxes.

Subject of Taxation.

The subject of taxation seems to
have taken the front rank in the
political discussions of the present
campaign. Tax reform is a matter
that should interest every voter in
Berkeley county regardless of party.
The present system of taxation is ad.
mitted by all to be unjust and par
ticularly unfair to the small property
holder. Some reform in our system is
needed, and if the new laws passed bv
the special session of the Legislature
do nothing more than bring to US an
equality of taxation, they will be do.
ing the taxpayers great benefit. This
equality of taxation is matter
that is exceedingly interesting tc
one who studies the county land
books. But of this matter we will
have something to say later.

peronal property of Berkeley county

Reasons For First Voters.

A young man asked for some good
reasons why he should vote the re-
publican ticket. A man Of national
reputation has given few Of them,
viz:
First: You should vote the republi-
can ticket, because the record of that
party for the fifty years of its exis-
tence has been so uniformly honorable
and consistent that it is TODAY crown
OF glory to every man to say that he
was one of its founders, and has con-
tinued to act with it to this day. 1t
is a pivilege to any young nlan to
come into snch an Inheritance. No
other parry has existed in our country
fer that length of time, but its honor
able members have at some time or
other been obliged to admit that is
principles were vicious and its cand:-
dates unworthy at their support.
Second You should vote the re-
publican ticket because the party is
opposed to free trade and free silver,
and has consistently stood for protec-
ton TO both labor and capital.
Third: You should vote the repub-
lican ticket beause that party was
organized TO make the land OF free
men, free soil and free speech. Hav-
ing accomplished its purpose. it is the
party est fitted to serve them.
Fourth You should vote the re-
publican ticket. because man is
known by the company he keeps, and
no man is 10 bad COMPANY who is a
member of Fremont and Lincoln and
Grant aud Mckinley and Roosevelt.
All good men are not republicans,
nor are all republicans good men, bnt
the vast majority of republicans are
men of good repute. Look about in
your own community and see whether
this is not true.
Fifth: You should vote the repub-
lican ticket because it's candidates
now, as in the past, are honest, able
courageous men. AS has been said,
what more could any father or mother
ask than that their son should fol-
low the same ideals as Theodore
! Roosevelt has followed, and live the
same honorable, loyal, pure life as his
has been.
Sixth: You should vote the repub-
| lcan ticket because that party is dis
tinctly the young mans party, for its
| future offers so much of promise for
the upbuildiug of the honor and glory
of our countrv. If you wish to take
part in this work, if you like to be
doing things, if you are progressive.
if you are ambitious for your own bet
terment and that of your native land,
if YOU wish the world to be better for
your having lived, then YOU should
line up for the republican party. If,
on the other hand, You are always
looking backward, always carping at
what others do, and afraid If the
future, and fearful that our country
may become too great, then there is
no place in the repuI lican party fol-
you.
Vote the republican ticket from tor
TO bottom, and then, on ell ction
night, when the returns are annunoed,
you can throw up your hat and say
81 helped to win the day. "

MO Increased Expenses.

The state and each county requires
so much monev each year to run
them. The new tax laws do not in
crease the aggregate expenses of the
state and county. No more money
will be reqpired to run the state I'M
der the new tax laws than is required
to run it this year or last year under
the old laws. The new tax laws
simply provides that all property, real
and personal, shall bear an equal
proportion of this expense. T.e1

They do not hesitafe to misrepresent
the merits Of the new law In the most
vehement terms. showing that they
are wa9inQ campaign of deceit and
Misrepresentation
The facts are these The republiosn
party has passed a system Of laws that
relieve the farmer and laboring man
from unnecessary taxation: 1t has
done away with 30 cents OF state taxes
leaving but cents on the 500 which
comes back TO this county for school
purposes; it has taxed corporations,
piue lines, telegraph lines, coal, oil
and gas lands. at their true and ac-
tual value, it has taxed railroads ard
st,eet car lines likewise; 1t has in
augurated a system of taxation that
catches thousands of dollars worth OF
property heretofore not taxed in
short, this new system will save to
the taxpayers Of Berkeley county Sl6, :
233. 8S. Will the democrats deny this?
Now, whv believe democratic mis-
repres entation? The republican party
stands npon its past record as the
friend of the working man. 1t is not
reasonable. therefore. that 1t has liz
augurated a system Of taxation that
will impose increased burdens upon
the taxpayers. You can trust the re-
publican party; it is not in the habit
of doing wrong.
