CLAUDIA SNYDER
Died at Mt. Lake Fark a. Half Pas.
Twelve O'clock To-Day.

A telegram was received here to-day
hearing the sad tidings of the death of
Mics Claudia snider, which occurred
to-day at half past twelve at Mt. Lake
Park. For the past year Miss Snider
has been in declining health and with
Ter mother spent the past winter at
Orange City, Florida, but derived very
little benefit from the change. Early
this summer the family removed to
their summer home at Mt. Lake Park.
Shortly after their arrival there Miss
snider became worse and gradually
grew weaker until death came at the
lour mentioned.
Miss Snider was the only daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. d. N. Snider and was
obout nineteen years of age. She had
lived in this city all her life, where she
was great favorlte among a wide cir.
Gle of friends. She possessed bright,
sweet disposition and her loss comes
rs great blow to her devoted parents.
No arrangements for the funeral SER
vices have as yet been made.

ARE DYING HARD.

, The captains and the kings de-
part; the tumult and the shouting
dies.a That is reasonably true OF the
antI,tax reform movement, although
its Sponsors are dying hard. Their
latest fieeting breath OF protest IS that
the taxpayers are due to pay five per
cent. taxes more this year because Of
The restrainer which limits the collec-
ton of taxes to not over five per cent.
more than was collected last year.
Like the majority of their other ar.
guments the ants only see one thing
at time. No taxpayer who has been
assessed in the past win have to pay
Ave per cent. more taxes this year. He
viii not pay as much taxes as he did
last year. He viii not pay as much
State taxes by Is cents. where he
paid S5 cents last year he will pay
only 20 cents this year. How is he
going to pay more local taxes when
there is more taxable property on the
books to meet the common burden?
Taxes will be lower for State and
county purposes and time VIII dem
onstrate this welcome fact. Monon-
gala and Peasants and other coun-
ties which have completed their as
easements are demonstrating it by
steps to reduce the county ievies along
with the State leyies.
The tax reform laws are demon
stratins their benefits and their faith.
ful execution assures In coed measure
all that has been promised for them.

Whatever the Fairmont West Vir.

Judge Mason and Tax DODGERS.

Judge Mason of the Marion.Monon-
gala circuit in his decision in the
lease cases Saturday expressed some
sentiments regarding taxation which
every man inclined to dodge should
paste in his hat. Judge Mason said
that the State in enforcing the collec.
ton of taxes must not be regarded as
an unjust master demanding some
thing for nothing. 1.-THE State is not
public enemy or usurper. It is Gre
ated by the people and exists because
they want 1t for their benefit. No man
Of means, possessing manly spirit
should be willing that orher people
shall pay the expenses of government
Tor his benefit. He should be as I'M
willing to be sponger or deadhead in
public Affairs as he would in private
or social life. The person VINO eyades
payment Of taxes which he should pay
does not simply defraud the State, for
the State will be paid whatever is
necessary for its purpose from some
source, but he does wrong 10 his fel.
low citizens and associates by casting
upon them an additional burden"
Boiled down, Judge Mason's re-
marks include the essence of tax re.
form. Tax reform means equalization.

idefeated the win OF the people. At the
same time he says when It was pro.
posed to amend the bill so that an.

he wanted 1t killed. The fact is the
bin was designed TO make a plnce for
Harry Shaw. and It was wished to
have It so that lie could serve until
1908 under the appointment, the fear

II is possible the Gazette does Sen.

He told the writer that he never was

bin. and only supported It because Of
the continued urging of Delegate Pow.
