The Fairmont West Nirginian new
says Col Tom Davis had the support
Of the Republican insurgents and
this proved to be enough to bring
about a Democratic victory, such as
It was.' This is strangely at variance
with that papers previous position

SO contemptuously in the future

Col. Davis majority was only a few
hundred-considerably less than a
thousand, therefore there cannot be
many insurgents" in his district. We
doubt If all told there are a thousand
in the State. What the West vfr-
ginian said was that Col. Davis re,
ceived the "insurgent" vote. let 1t
have been much or little. But every
body knows that the most potent thing
in the old mans favor was his bar'l,

OH, YES, tNpgEDi

Oh, yes. the taxes of the masses
nnder the new tax law is going TO be
less. The masses are the landowners
and the fact that they will pay less
tax is evidenced by the increase in
the assessment Of lands in Marion
county Of about 300 per cent; in
'Monongalia county about 400 per
cent; in Barbour county of over 400
per cent; in Tyler and wetzel coun.
ties about the same. The landown-
ers are the substantial taxpayers ev.
erywhere, and Of course, to largely
increase the valuations OF their lands
will cause them to pay less taxes, II a
fellow does not care what he says
Fairmont Times.
The Times gives figures once in a
long while and they always prove It's
undoing. To begin with, the increase
in Marion county under the reassess.
ment was about 200 per cent instead
of 300. When property doubles 1t Is
increased 100 per cent. and when 1t
is trebled 1t has been increased 200
per cent. But that is not the most
important misleading statement in
the Times editorial. 1t leaves the i'm.
preston that the valuations of farm
lands has made the entire increase
in valuation as shown by the reas-
sessment. The records show that farm
lands were increased in valuation on
an average of Just about 100 per cent.
As the aggregate increase on farm
lands, coal lands and town properties.
all told. was 200 per cent. we think
the tillers of the soil can easily see
where they come in in the new dear
Democratic editors seem to think
farmers are as stupid as oxen and
write their editorials accordingly, but
they will wake up some fine morning
and find themselves mistaken.

Watch your tax bills. Compare
them with your 1904 bils.-wheeling
Register.
What Has the Register gone back
on the anti-tax reform crowd? II all
the taxpayers whose tax tickets will
be lower this fall than they were in
1904 vote the Republican ticket here
after the Republican majority in this
State will be 1so,2o4 next year, as
fully seyen-eighths of the 24O,275
voters who exercised that right in
West Virginia last year will enjoy a
reduction in their taxes this fall. OF
course they viii not all vote to their
best interests, some because of preju-
dice, others because Of scussedness,s
so the majority may not be more than
10000.
The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1905-09-08

There never was a truer statement
or prediction made than that by
Governor Dawson to the effect that
the new tax laws would not be an
issue in the next campaign in West
Virginia, and that all business men
would accept the principle as finally
and forever. settled.-Charleston
Mail.
And settled right, the Mail should
have added, for taxing all property
at its actual worth is the only way to
bring about fair and equal taxation.

The columns of the Gazette are

Well, you have been saying this for
some time, and we would suggest
that you send a messenger to the
State House to tell His Excellency
that your columns "are still open"
That's the only way he is likely to
learn that they are still open," for
we understand that neither the gov

The west virginian recelv

The West virginian received a
brief but pleasant call last evening
from two popular Charlestonians-
John Foster. printing clerk IN the of
fee Of the Attorney General, and ].
l. Hizer, printing clerk in the Office
OF the Secretary OF State. The gen.
tlemen had been attending a meeting
Of the State Federation of Labor at
Clarksburg and were en- route to
Morgantown for a short visit. The
West yirginian, many copies OF
which go to Charleston, is read with
mnch interest by officials and attaches
of the State House. they said. We
have an idea. and have always had,
that the West virginian is read with
considerable interest wherever II
goes.
