The farmers must not be deceived
into thinking that their next tax re
ceipts will show the full iniquities
of the new tax laws. Not much.
They will not go into full opera
tions until the next assessment in
1896. BY that time the Journal
will have to return to the sod from
whence it came. 1t will be a case
of too much tax laws for it to re
main on the paved streets and argue
the tax issue. This is sad.

Ii is really amusing to hear the
Journal, which is owned body and
soul by the Machine and the Ring,
yelling about the corporations being
supported by The ARGUS. When
did the machine and the Ring sur
render the support Of the corpora.
tions Its yell is that Of the thief
who wants to attract attention
while he pluuders and robs the in
nocent But the Journal cannot
direct the attention Of the poor peo-
pie and the farmers from the real
issue. 1t is what the new tax laws
will do to the poor people and the
farmers that the Journal should ex-
plain.

The ARGUS has frequently as
sured the Journal that it had its
hearty support in its death-like
struggle to recapture the Kingwood
postofice. No one has greater
sympathy for Bro. Whetsell than
THE ARGUS in his contest with Rev.
little over the Kingwood postofice.

Another fellow that faxed u s
right here at home was John Shrout
who used to be considered all right
and a square man. lie was a hard
worker and his credit was good and
we sent him the paper for years.
lie used TO make loud claims in re
gard to his Democracy and worked
that racket on us for several years
telling as what big things he could do
among the Nation about election
time and making as believe we had
20 send him the paper to hold him in
line for the good Of the cause.
Running the only Democratic paper
in the county and being chairman
Of the committee for years, has en-
abied a good many fellows to work
that same racket on as and help
keep our pocket book in a lean and

a little as we grow older and the
man that gets Us now as bad as
John Shrout did will have to make
some loud claims and have some
thing TO back 10 up.

The ARGUS has discussed the tax
issue in all its phases with the Jour
nal and put the old organ in a hole
every time, still it pretends that it
cannot understand the position Of
THE ARGUS. If the Journal is so
dumb that it has no knowledge of
the new tax laws it cannot expect
THE ARGUS to lift the lid from its
dumbness and insert brains in the
old organ. 1t will have to wait
until the next election when the peo-
pie will use club on it.

MIN was over about NewbuTg, but
we never got any haul out of him.

will knock off about three thirds OF

| ]. w. Calhoun has so far been
unknown to fame but we have a
little boost for him right now. He
used to read THE ARGUS and be re-
sIected by his neighbors. He was
a blacksmith in Kingwood at one
time, although he was a white man,
but he moved from here to Bloom
ington, Md, and there he bloomed
out into a dew-drop, as he dropped
THE ARGUS with S4.5o due on it..
We hope he was not related In any.
way with old John c. Calhoun, who
was an able builder and constructor
of State craft, but most likely could
not make a horseshoe. The Cal
houn that we are interested in to
the extent of S4.5o) wrote us a
pitiful letter begging us to stop pub
fishing "Old Man Bowser" as h
said his wife always read that every
week and throw it up to him and if
we did not stop publishing it he
would have to stop the paper. He
said he would have quit anyhow,
but he knew his wife would borrow
their neighbors and read it and rub
it in on him worse than ever. 1t
was too much fun for us to stop Old
Bowser and we kept it right on re-
cording his antics for years and
Calhoun stopped his paper and
moved away to a neighborhood
where no one was taking it and his
account is still like the weather has
been all this accommodated.
ftf
One of the well-known citizens of
Terra Alta is so richly deserving
of a place in this procession that
we cannot forego him the pleasure
any longer. His front and rear
name is Lot Sturgeon and he is a
bad Lot on the debt question. We
do not know that he has been Splu-
gin around much, but he was swift
enough to get THE ARGUS about
ten years for nothing. He is a
butcher by trade and he bled us all
right and skinned us besides, as we
were rather tender streak for him.
But we will give him a roast any
how and make it rare and well dun
besides. Had he been little more
brisket and hoofed it into our field
of operations and laid down some
of the long green, he need not have
been in hot water over this scrape
as we would not have butted in
and sailed him down in this way,
and this tale might never have been
told. But he stuck us and now he
is our meat.
West Virginia argus. [volume] (Kingwood, W. Va.) 1877-1946, 1905-07-27

The Journal says that we are
kicking against the corporations
being assessed and made to pay
their just share of the taxes. Can
the Journal or anyone else point to
single utterance of this kind in
The ARGUs7 If they can't they
have lied. If they can we have
lied. 1t is now up to the Journal
to make good or take a sneak.
There Is such a thing as talking too
much as the parrot found out.

OUR DEAD BEAT LIST.

In accordance with previous an
nouncement, in our columns, we
herewith publish to the world an
other chapter from our famous
serial, in which short sketches OF a
personal and pertinent not to say
impertinent nature, are a leading
speciality. We have given fair
warning time and again to the
parties who were eligible for a posi-
ton in this record of delinquency
and the light will hold out to burn
Till the vilest sinner may retuIn,"
but we give here below some cases
that we consider far past redemp-
ton.

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP

Golfers Weekly takes the view that the
ountry will be in great measure guided by the
uccess or failure of Chicagos experiment with
ownership:
The new mayor of Chicago is man of
superior personal quality. On that point
danger lies in faults which are near akin to
virtues. His humanity and good fellowship
may make him trust men whose influence
will :" weaken his administration. Chicago
wishes keenly that her traction experiment
should end in triumph and not in ridicule
and elements which opposed Judge Dunno
as candidate will lend him every assistance
now that he is the city's magistrate. 1t is an
intricate problem that confronts him. If the
difficulties special to Chicago prove too much
for municipal ownership to be achieved, that
system will be set back. If municipal own
ership is tried with bad results, the setback
will be much greater. The police and fire
departments now enjoy much political con-
troll in all our cities. Street railway en-
ployes under city operation will be added to
the class of permanent ofice-holders to whom
politicians cater, and whom politicians ap-
point for party benefits conferred. Perhaps
citizens will take enough added interest to
prevent political evils from becoming worse
If not, the city experiment will count against
national ownership of public utilities, under
which SYSTEM if begun today more than
million ofice-holders would be added to the
list. Whatever the outcome in Chicago, the
undertaking will help to clear the air.
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1905-05-18

The American Farmer holds with Secretary
Taft that railways can not be conducted on the
same basis as private business enterprises:
Our railroad friends would be less sens-
tive to the proportion to establish government
control if they would reflect that railroads
occupy the same position toward the people
as the old highways before the coming of the
iron horse. No one thought it out of the way
that the collection of tolls should be regulat-
ed by law. The railroads, when they collect
freight or passenger fare are simply gather
ing toll, like their predecessors. This bust
ness, SO vital to the public welfare, it has
been found, can not safely be entrusted to
those who, as owners of the line, are inter-
ested chiefly in making money for them
selves. The power is too great to be left
to any man or set of men and it's abuse
works great public calamity.
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1905-05-18
Oh Nebraska Independent

accidents is alarming and horrifying. t is
misnomer to call much of this human
slaughter the result of accidents and it is
often very unjust to charge it to careless
ness of employees as is generally done. The
fact is, railroad employees are generally over
worked in this country, and the wonder is,
not that so many accidents occur, but that
more do not occur.
Labor laws should be more generous to
railroad employees and more vigorously en-
forced. But among the reforms for the pro-
lection of the travelling public perhaps no one
thing is more important than the general
adoption of the block system If this system
were in operation on all the lines of railroad
in this country, the mortality from railroad
wrecks would be immensely decreased OF
course, the compulsory adoption of this sys-
tenn involves a large expenditure of money,
but when human life is involved, monetary
conditions should have but little weight, and
certainly should not control
