MARION HELPED 70 FOOT THE
BILL.

Marion county paid something over
$4,000 as It's share of the State taxes
last year, on an assessed valuation of
nearly s12.000,0O0 Mcdowell county
paid about one-fourth as much as Ma
rion or a little over $4,000, on a ba-
sis of about $s,0oo,000 valuation. That
would have been fair and no one could
have objected, had Marion county's
real estate been worth four times as
much money as that of Mcdowell. 1t
turns out, however, that Mcdowell
county has $4,000. 900 worth of land,
timber. coal and other minerals, in.
stead OF three millions. We do not
know what Marion county's valuation
will be under the reassessment, but
presume 1t will go between thirty-five
and forty million dollars, or just a
little above that of Mcdowell. In
that event II can be plainly seen that,
in comparison with Mcdowell, Marion
county has for years been paying
from $4,000 to $4,000 annually more
than its share Of the State tax. But
that injustice will soon be a thing o
the past. Not only will the valuations
be more nearly equalized but the grad
nal elimination of the State tax will,
prohibit entirely a recurrence of sucf
inequality. Hereafter each count,
will pay Its own bills and Irregular
ties in assessment will not work q
hardship on any county.
Let the good work go on.

Fairmont West virginian.
The State Journal is not bothering
itself to any great extent at this time
about who will be elected to the Uni
ted States Senate in 1907. 1t has
claimed all the time that Judge Con-
will not be elected unless he comes
out as an open, active and aggressive
candidate. II does not share in the
West Virginian's opinion that he is
the best equipped man In the State
for the place. In fact, II thinks that
there are a number OF gentlemen in
West Virginia who would make bet.
ter members OF a legislative body than
Judge Golf. 1t says this in all due
difference TO his fine ability which
happens not to be along the line which
would eminently fit him for United
States Senator. He does not have the
kind of brain that would make him
a strong parllamentarian and an able
committee worker. Oratory counts
for nothing in Congress. 1t isn't the
one who has fine words that wins
there but the gentleman with the par.
liamentary axe and a lot of strings.
Judge Golf would make a better
President of the United States than
he would a member of either the Ma.
tional House of Representatives or the
Senate. The State Journal would not
favor having It's blacksmithing done
by a fiddler. moi would It take one
man for Office merely for the sake o.
defeating another. This is not a rid.
die but a comparison and a fact
misunderstanding State Journal.
