The Fairmont Times in reply to
The request Of the State Journal that
1t tell what is the proper and honest
way to effect tax reform goes on in
a column article devoted to some
mysterious and unseen political con.
spirators who It says made bargains
and sales against the interests Of the
people and throws no light whatever
on the matter under discussion. The
point which the State Journal pro.
posed for the Times to pass upon
was what better methods than those
being carried out could be devised
and for that paper 81 IT had any in
view to state what they were. The
only paragraph in the long article of
the Times which the State Journal
considers worthy Of any attention Is
the following:
Now IL the proper and honest
had been sought. coal. oil and gas
would have been honestly and direct.
ly taxed, not by an unstable and un-
certain decision Of the Supreme
Court, which may be wholly evaded
next year, or which may be even re.
versed by the Court itself, but by a
clear, honest and direct act of the
Legislature which would have left
nothing to be guessed at. We would
not favor such a plan, but 1t would at
least have the merit Of being square
and honest, whereas the present plan
is only designed to fool the people in.
to supposing these interests are be.
ing taxed. while in pursuance Of the
bargain heretofore made, they will
be allowed to escape entirely after
this year."
II any paper in West Virginia has
succeeded In twisting itself into a
worse tangle or tangllng itself in a
worse twist, than the above, 1t has
not reached this office. If the taxing
of coal, oil and gas directly is an
honest, Just and proper thing to do,
why doesn't the Fairmont Times ia.
yor 1t? II 1t is not SO why does It want
the Republican party to do a thing
which is not right? That which is
wrong cannot be square and honest.
That which is right should be favored
by the Fairmont Times and everybody
else. There is no possible way that
the Times can reconcile its position
with integrity or credit at all. excep:
to acknowledge that it does not know
itself what 1t is talking about and
that it is merely an honest b%lunderer
and that It advocates that which is
wrong because 1t does no know
better than to do so.

are being reduced. 1t thus replies TO
its own statements and o~verthrows

says the insurgents at White Sulphur
Springs are seeking for safe and
sane leadership of the party" We
began pounding our head and beating
our brow as Don as we saw that in

We had seen that expression before.
All at once 1t dawned upon us that
the Cleveland wing of the Democratic
party had helped TO defeat the party
nominees twice using the same slo-
gar as a battle cry. 1t seems very
clear that Montgomery, Marshall.
Blizzard and others of their kind are
trying to pattern after the Cleveland
following to bring everlasting defeat

they unite their strength, whether he
be Judge Blizzard or somebody else,

him within the past six months. The

ITSELF The object Of tax reform as
has been pointed out by the State
Journal is 70 conform to the constitu-
tional idea which was long violated
in West Virginia and to secure equal
and uniform taxation as far as posi-
bic. The necessary reform can not
be made in a day or in a year but It
is coming and viii be fully carried
out and administered by the Repub-
lean party Of this State unless the
Democrats choose to turn in and help
accomplish itst Much good has, al.
ready been done. Great progress has
already been made and all that is
necessary to do is to keep on in the
right path. There is plenty of time
yet in which to tax coal. oil and gas
directly and SO far as the State Jour
nal knows there is nothing to hinder
the next Legislature from doing every.
thing necessary to fully accomplish
