THEY ARE DEFECTIVE.

The laws that experience proves
to be wrong can be repealed. If
there are defects-and there are
they can be cured by proper amend
ments at the session of the next Leg
islature. IS. B. Elkins.
For the emil ghtenment Of the
Journal and the Fridays" we put
Senator Elkins on the stand to testi-
fy as to whether the Dawson tax
laws are perfection. lie testihes
that there are defects" in them and
at the next session Of the Legisla-
ture that they will be amended.
When the Senator uses the word
"defecp he means that the Dawson
tax laws are HHfaiy and HAIH5f to
the poor people. lie is willing that
that the laws should be repealed
and amended that the injustice
maybe wiped out.
But the Journal and the FRIDAYS"
who arc prospective candidates for
the Legislature, say the tax laws
are so perfect that they dare anyone
to touch them. They tell us they
'feel proud Of the tax laws" and
that they must be given entire
credit for the enactment Of the
laws. Senator Elkins says there are
"defecls" in the laws and they must
be remedied by amendments at the
next session Of the Legislature.

A FLOWER GARDEN BAsTILI.

The Kingwood Jail is thing of
beauty and joy for the summer
season-looking at it from the out
side. 1t may not be so attractive
on the inside. In fact we much
prefer the exterior view. The
whole yard around the Jail is filed
with beautiful flowers of many diff
ferent varieties, colors, hues and
perfumes. The jailer's wife and
daughters seem to have tried them
selves how attractive they could
make place generally considered
dismal and to be avoided. There
is large porch in front filed with
potted plants and house flowers.
Then there are stands out in front
loaded down with them and all
along the fence on the inside of the
yard, clear around the Jail in front
and on both sides as far back as you
can see from the street are a mass of
floral beauties, growing in luxurious
profusion, with all the colors of the
rainbow or any other beau. The
fair sex of the Hotel de Jalle de-
serve great credit for thus relieving
the monetary and dreary existence
of the prison as the inmates can
stand at the windows and feast their
eyes and olfactory nerves on these
summer beauties. We hope no one
will be encouraged by this write up
to stray from the straight and mar
row way and land in the midst of
this boquet of beauty, for remember
you can see and appreciate the
flowers much better from the out.
side and then go away when you
tire OF the gorgeous hues and mixed
perfumes and il costs you nothing,
but looking at the scene through
iron bars seriously impairs the beau
ty and considerably defects the per-
fume and but illustrates that every
rose has its thorn and the most
beautiful flower may have a canker
in its midst.

no limit. There was S Districts of the
county, 20 different schools, and ( different
denominations represented in the Conven-

about 100 at each session, and being at one

SOMETHING WORTH READING.

Anyone who reads the letters oil

Of the Reno farmer. 1t is plain to

Gus tax laws which places the bur
den of taxation upon the farmers
and the small property holders.
His appeal to his farmer brethren,
who are victims Of the tax laws like
himself, is the most natural thing
in the world. There is fellow
feeling which binds the farmers to-
gether. 1t is the earnest pleading
of an honest man, which THE
ARGUS knows the Reno farmer to
be.
1t is gratifying to THE ARGUS
to say that the letters of "Only A
Farmer" is making a deep impress
sion upon the farmers of Preston

that the Reno farmer is not misre.

CAN'T STAND THE MACHINE.

The Journal thought it had found
hens nest with golden eggs in the
person Of Sheriff J. J. Milton, of
Kanawha county, who is a Demo
crat and avered that the new tax
laws suited him, according to some
of the Republican machine papers.
1t is generally conceded that the
new tax laws will suit all Sheriffs.
The Journal has not heard State Tax
and Assistant State Tax Commits
sioner Dillon and Darst, who are
paid handsome salary, say that the
new tax laws did not suit them. The
people who object to the new tax
laws are those who will have to pay
the increased taxes.
You may scan the columns of the
Journal and you will not see one
word in the Journal telling about the
State Journal and Charleston News,
two of the leading and most inAuen-
tial daily Republican newspapers in
the State of West Virginia, which
have come out openly against the
Machine and declare that the "time
is ripe for a revolt against these
Methods" meaning the corrupt po-
litical methods of the Machine.
Hereafter the State Journal and
Charleston News must be counted
on the side of the "Insurgent." And
the army is growing every day.
Senator Montgomery, Leader Shaw
and others IN Preston who are defy
ing the Ring and the Machine are
to be congratulated on the splendid
fight they are making in behalf OF
the tax payers. They can afford to
stand the abuse of the Ring and
Machine organs in their noble work.
This is fight of the people against
the Ring and the Machine for pure
politics and just and fair taxation
to all. We all realize that it is an
uphill fight for the enemy are in full
control of the county and State ma
chinery and their corrupt method:
are such that it will be no easy task
to dislodge them. But the people
are determined that the Ring and
the Machine must be routed horse,
foot and dragoon.
We call upon all who believe in
equal and uniform taxation TO Join
hands with us. No less an authority
than the Hon. Stephen B. Elkin:
says the "tax issue is not a party
question" This is what The AR.
GUS has claimed all along, but the
Journal insisted that it was a "party
issue" But the Journal must no
be taken serious on the tax issue as
it is but repeating what the Ring
has instructed 1t to say. Its inau
ence with the rank and file OF the
Republicans in Preston today is or
the wane and each week brings il
nearer to the goal of defeat.
Since Sheriff Melton came out in
an article and showed up that h,
had been lied on and quoted as say
ing exactly to the contrary of whaI
he did say, the Journal has beer
like the boy the calf run over anc
had nothing further to say on tn,
subject.

If THE ARGUS is not "busy"

applicant. 1t is not necessary for

telling them about their taxes being

else they would not have gathered
in here by the hundred this week,
clamoring for a reduction of their
assessment. II it is going to reduce
their taxes, the new valuation will
not hurt them, but judging from the
expressions heard about the court
