ACCORDING to the figures of the
United States Census Bureau, the
value OF railroad property in West
Virginia is $2Ol, 100000. The rail-
roads pay taxes on l4.2 per cent of
this valuation. This shows most plain.
ly how these big corporations are
lodging their fair share Of taxation
and what vast reform is needed in
assessing them.
Governor Dawson has promised
that next year the railroads shall be
taxed at their true and actual value. "
We commend to him the governments
figures. He can save great deal of
time and expense by accepting them
as a basis Of assessment and in levying
the taxes accordingly. The farmers
and land owners-iudeed all the peo-
ple-must pay on the true and actual
value. Here's the chance to make the
railroads do the same thing.

A LITTLE BEHIND.
Mass. Democrats Fail To Comply With
Caucus Laws-No Caucuses Sept. 26.

Boston. July 27.-Secretary Of State
Olin. To-Day. notified the Democratic
state committee that it could not hold
caucuscs throughout the state on Sept.
&c, because the Republican party. which
had selected the same date. had COM
piled with the law relating to the Sc
lection of caucus dates and because the
Democrats had not done this. The
statutes specify that no two political
parties shall hold caucuses on the same
day. The caucuses referred to are those
to b.. held in the cities and towns where
the joint primary system has not been
adopted.
The secretary of state points out
that. although the Democrats were the
first to select the date. Sept. IS. they
failed to comply with the law in two
particulars: First, the date was Sc
lected. not by the state committee, but
by the executive committee; secondly,
the Democrats neglected to file a copy
of the call with the secretary of the
commonwealth. Both parties wished
Sept. &C. because this is the last date
upon which caucuses may be held prior
to the state election.
