BENDER WILL FIGHT.
likely to Resist to the Fullest
\ Extent the Ousting Powers.

If any one has the idea that Mr.. George
Bender, erstwhileJ manager and owner Of
the Richmond baseball nine, is taking
his busting quietly, a great mistake is
being made, for there is every inu.cation
at this time Of q. serious tilt between the
present owner OF the franchise and the
man who handled the team at first.
This tilt is likely to occur on tomorrow
when the game between the Brownies and
the Richmond mine is scheduled. Mt.
Bender maintains that he was not in the
ball business for the money that he
received from the games, but 1t was
amusement with hlm.is$ He alleges that
the proceedings which took his franchise
away were not legal. It is certain that
he will fight the proposition of giving the
franchise to another person and this
fight may terminate at the very first
game to be played.

It will be remembered that Gov
ernor White said in his message
to the Legislature recommending
the new tax system that it was ne
oessary in order to raise more
revenue. The representations
made to the people were that this
additional revenue was to raise on
certain species of property which
either been assessed too low or had
escaped assessment altogether. It
has already been shown that the
railroads will pay less taxes than
they did last year 1t has also
been demonstrated that the amount
of taxes which will be realized on
oil and gas leases will not amount
to asuffcient sum to out any figure.
Down in the southern part of the
State, where a big increase was
looked for of coal lands, the county
courts have reduced the valuations
made by the assessors from 40 to
60 per cent, so the large increase
in the revenue expected from this
source will not be realized.-Fair-
mont Times.

Changed the Figures.

Another "beantifur part of the
new tax laws recently came to light
when Assistant Tax Commissioners
Darst visited Monroe county, and
he and two assistants asked the
county to permit them to correct
the clerical errors" on the land
book.in the second district. The
three men are accused of changing
the assessments for the town of
Anderson by increasing them to
the amount Of $4,000. When the
book was returned to the county
court, that honorable body refused
to recognize it in its mutiIated
condition, and the assessor, L. A.
Burdette, disavowed the RESPONSE
bility of making the changes, and
restored the assessments to their
original figures.
This is a new departure in the
business of making land ASSESS
ments. and plainly shows that the
Republican party leaders are deter
mined to place the burden of the
taxes upon the farmers and small
home owners. because they realize
that the demand to run the State
government has become 30 great
that without heaping heavier bur-
dens upon the common people
that their pet scheme of raising
money will fall by the wayside.
The people should watch this
all-important matter as they are
liable to be finched at any mo-
ment.-CIarksburg News.
