all; the decree was affirmed and there
were no dissenting opinions by the
Supreme Court. The Supreme Court
ofAppeals was in session at that time
at Wheeling, and passed only on one
question at that, term, and that was in
reference to taxing leases for coal, oil
and gas in this State. ", \,
The Harvey Coal and Coke Com
pany case was brought against the
State Tax Commissioner, the County
Court and the assessors and sheriff
OF Fayette. county, setting up the fact
that It had a lease, which lease is
like the other coal and oil leases in
the State, and they prayed in their
bill for a perpetual Injunction, asking
the Fayette Circuit Court to restrain
1.-THE assessment and collection Of
taxes on all their property, known as
leases or leaseholds. The case was
argued before the Circuit Court, in
Fayette county, and the Court there
decided against the company and that
I leaseholds are property and should be
taxed. Immediately the case was
taken as the test case to the Supreme
Court OF Appeals, and which has JUS
rendered an opinion sustaining tn,
court below, dismlssing the bill an,
deciding that leases and leasehold
are property and should be taxed. B
the decision the Supreme Court re

the collection Of taxes. a@3

staInaker In the WAY.

AS nearly as may be judged from
the somewhat scrambled doctrines
laid down by the Fairmont West
virginian. concerning its proposed en-,
largement of the State Senate, It's
overpowering desire is TO set up
game on Ran Stalnaker, railroad
lobbyist, who in some manner, no
doubt, has affronted tie West vir-
ginian.
Our beloved exchange, should not
overlook the transltory nature Of
things or that Ran is merely TEN.
poral being. No living human, ex-
cept Pres. Morris, is older than he,
and most of these glorious West Vir.
ginia hills area.his junior. There is
some reason to believe, nevertheless.
that the hills and those Of us who are
younger will survive him. And the
West Virginian is bound to admit, II
there is anything at all in its reason
ing, that an enlarged Senate would be
more or less a nuisance with Ran out
Of the way.-Fayette Journal.
Ran is not the only lobster" in thu
way. While he is the most conspicu
GUS and probably the Oldest one in tn,
State, yet there are numerous others
They are scattered hither and yon an,
everywhere. Quite a prominent an
one OF the most accomplished an
f. respectable OF that class resides i
Fayette county. Ran has never a
fronted the West Virginian in an
. manner, shape or form, but he is
Democrat, as he has always been, an
:, he is Objectionable to us on that a
: count. Still more Objectionable is h
because he puts his nib into Republ

= frequently dominates men for ofIlt
who are very distasteful to that part
: The West Virglnian thinks that
. would be to the best interests Of Il
'. State to rid 1t of all professional 10

The Fayette Journal thinks the ne ne,

The Fayette Journal thinks the new
law for collecting capitation tax is
going to be great success. In short,
the Journal thinks that the assessor,
unlike the sheriff, can collect taxes
Just as well where there is no money
as where there is.-Fairmont Times.
Oh, no, the Journal is thinking
nothing Of the kind. The trouble
heretofore has not been that those re.
turned delinquent did not have the
money. The difficulty that caused the
delinquency was the inability of the
sheriff to find the person so charged
The assessor meets him face 70 face
and makes the collection. That's the
difference.-Fayette Journal.
