President RooscvelPs hunting trip
has not been a fruitless one. He
has evidently been feeling the pulse
Of the common people. In a speech
a few days ago he declared that be

ownership Of all the utilities" such
as the telegraph, the telephone and
railroads. This is good Democratic
doctrine and If the President con
tinues to preach this doctrine we
will take him into full fellowship.
This will not suit the men who are
at the head Of the Republican party
today, but it will suit the people.

The simple fact that the Secretary
OF Agriculture can afford TO send
agricultural explorers to all parts of
the world to discover new plants
and new methods illustrates very
torcibly the utility of his depart

individual farmer and no organiza-
tion of farmers could afford to do.

the Department of Agriculture make
a valuable discovery makes practic-
able the great expense which this
division of the work entails.
Speaking of the Department of
Agriculture, it is worthy of note
that all last year the cotton growers
of the country complained that the
Department was overcstimating the
cotton crop and that its estimates
were having tendency unduly to
"bear" the price of cotton. When
the Department made its final esti-
mate ON the cotton crop last Dee
ember it placed the total yield at
i2,I62, 100 bales, OF an average
weight of 500 pounds. The Census
Bureau has just made public its
final report ginned last year. The
hgures are r5,54a,5I5 so it will be
seen that the estimate of the Depart
ment was 1,G70,ST5 bales short of
the actual crop, or nearly eight per
cent. When the great size of the
crop is -onsidered and i; is reflected
that the Department bases its csti-
mates merely on the reports, in
percentages Of the condition of
the growing crop, it will be appre-
ciated that the estimate was not
remarkably far from the facts, but
it will also be seen that the Depart
ment unde-sinstead Of over estimated

growers believed the contrary to be
the case.
Apropos of the cotton crop, the
Department is preparing the plans

rHE INDEPENDENT STATE OF
RENO WAKES UP.

EDITOR ARcUs;-Wm you allow
me space in your widely read and
popular paper TO say that the "Inde-
pendent State of Reno" wants to
get into the Tax Reform band wa
gon before it is too lateP ? 1t is
strange that it has taken us all these
years TO get our eyes open. The
habit Of voting the ticket straight
has been a kind OF second nature
TO us people mp in Reno. While a
large number of us Republicans up
in Reno take The ARGUS and read
IT from cover to cover and then loan
II TO our neighbors TO read, still we
could not forget that it is Demo.
cratic paper and that we must not
take it seriously when speaking pc.
litically. This is what we have
been taught from infancy to not be-
lieye anything we read in a Demo
cratic paper. At last we have dis
covered that THE ARGUS is perfectly
reliable, if il is a Democratic news.
paper, and we find that what it has
been telling us about the new tax
laws is the truth. This leads us to
inquire, il THE ARGUS has been tell
ing us the truth about the tax laws,
is il not also TO be believed in its
other statements What you say
about the Kingwood Ring is abso-
lutely and literally correct. We have
known this to be true for years past.
Many OF us Republicans of Reno
who thought that our loyalty and
big majorities for the Republican
party entitled us to recognition,
have been turned down by the Ring
when we asked for place on our
county and legislative ticket. They
would bluntly tell us that the office
had been byomiScd to another gen
tleman This gentleman who had
been promised the Office we invaria-
bly, found out belonged to the Ring.
Still we seemed to be hopclcssly un-
able to defy the Ring and had to
quietly submit TO this injustice.
But better day seems to be dawn
ing for us The scales are falling
from our eyes all over the county,
and as our good and patriotic Pres
idcnt Roosevelt says, we are going
70 demand ga square deal"
THE ARGUS is the best paper in
the county and just the kind Of
paper we need up in Reno to open
the eyes of the people. Please send
me a few extra copies Of The AR
Gus to distribute in the community.

PLUCkING THE GOOSE.

1t is very gratifying to THEARCUs
to learn that the Republican farmers
OF Preston county are beginning to
realize that what THE ANGUS has
said relative 10 the new tax laws
was not said in a spiJit of political
prejudice. THE ARGUS studied the
new tax laws carefully and SO far
as 1t was capable of interpreting the
laws it could not see where they
were going to benefit the farmers.
laboringman and the small laxpay-
ers. On the other hand it believed
and the assessments are verifying
that belief, that the tax laws would
fall heaviest upon the shoulders OF
the common people.
But is a difficult matter to con
vince those who arc biased and pre-
JUDGED that those who profess to be
their friands are really their wors, en-
emies. This has been the case with
the new tax laws. The people who
arc responsible for the laws are the
worst type of politician. They care
nothing for corporations or the com.
mon people so long as they can re-
tain power. They will enact any
kind of laws If they only can know
that the enactment of such laws
means success for them. The cor
porauons being powerful and the
common people correspondingly
weak the oflice.h holder will naturally
choose the corporations and cater
to them for support. This is what
was done in the enactment of the
new tax laws. Il he Republican
Machine realized that they could
not hope to retain power unless they
could secure the support of the cor
porations which would contribute a
large campaign fund which the Re-
publican Machine would utilize in
corrupting the ballot box. But the
corporations were not going to con
tribute to a campaign fund unless
they had a guarantee that they would
be ami !y recompensated foi their
generosity. 50 til c Republican
Machine and the corporations CON
cluded to "pluck the goose" (the
common people, and divide the
feathers Thus we find the new
tax laws were created by an unholy
alliance between h c Republican
Machine n d h corporations
whereby the common people were
made TO bear the burden OF taxa
ton. There is no denying the fact
that they were eminently successful
IN plucking the common people in
the election of 1904. But the pco.
pie have gotten fealhercd over once
more and it remains to be seen
whether the Republican Machine
will be able to pluck them in zoos
aud not leave a tail feather i'm them.

WATCHING Us

The tax reformers and the anti
tax rcformers throughout the State
Of West Virginia arc watching the
Congressional contest in the old
Second District with intense inter
est. All admit that it will indicate
whether public opinion is crystalliz-
ing along the lines Of genuine Tax
Reform, or whether the Republican
Machine is still in the saddle in this
Stale. SO it bchooycs every tax
reformcr TO be out on the day Of
the election and cast his vote.
Both parties arc fortunate in having
for their candidates honorable and
representative men and there can
not be aught said against their char.
acter. II is equally true that both
Col. Davis and Mr.. LakIn are bust
ness men OF high standing. This
being The case the contest must he
fought along the lines Of TaxReiorm.
This is indeed the paramount issue
before the people, not alone in the
Second Congressional District, but
throughout the State of West Vir-
giuia. il should not be lost sight
of by The tax rcformers that every
time they go down to defeat that
10 strengthens the hold Of the Ke.
publican Machine upon the State.
If we are defeated this time the ma
chine will herald 0, as another vic
tory for their brand Of taxation.
Indeed, should we be defeated this
time 10 would lend coloring TO their
claim that the people are satisfied
with lhc new tax laws and that they

| understand what this means. He
wants to hold a conference with me .
He has received news that is not
| pleasing to him and he wants my
fatherly advice. He shall have it
from the pulse strings of my heart.
The Governor tells me he has Just
received a telegram that the Demo
Gratis have nominated Col. Tom
Davis for Congress. This is real
sad news for the Governor and my.
self. Col. Davis is thoroughbred
and hard TO beat in mile dash.
This means that Bro. Lakin will
have to do some lively racking il he
beats Col. Tom. 1t also means that
our new tax laws Will be discussed,
if not actually cussed, from one end
of the district to the other. This is
what brings the chickens home to
roost in the State House. The new
tax laws arc in no condition TO be
attacked from Monongalia TO Ieffer-
son. In the last campaign they
were completely riddled by the enc
my and the Governor and myself
have not had time to plug the holes
and examine them for a pension.
In their crippled condition VIC fear
they are at the mercy of our enemy.
Our main reliance back in Preston
is in the generalship of our new
commanders, Conley and Montgom-
cry. The eN.commanders, Flynn
and Whetsell, became Oslerizcd
and we had to chloroform them for
the good Of the new tax laws. We
figure that there is only one thing
that will save our new tax laws in
the Congressional campaign and
that is for the assessors to ret
around and see all the farmers and
assess their farms. From the letters
which we have been receiving from
the formers who have had their
farms assessed we learn that they
are more than pleased with the
earning capacity of the farms under
the new tax laws. They had no
idea that the old farms were so val
liable un:il the assessor took a walk
over them.
The Governor is more than de-
lighted with the improvement in the
old Family Journal. He conlem-
plates sending it another editorial.
He is amazed at the manner in
which Bro. Wheisell has rohashed it
for the past four issues. The Gov
ernor told me he knew it was good
one but he had no idea It would
last so long. lie said TO me in one
of his inimitablc jests that his edito-
rial was sticking to the old Family
Journal as long as the sod was hang
ing on the coat tail OF Bro. Whct-
sell. The Governor can be real
funny when there is no one throw
ing bricks at his new tax laws.
Say to Commanders Conlcy and
Montgomery if they want me to
come to Preston and do a little
