BIENNIAL MESSAGE READ
Governor White Makes MANY Rec
ommendation to Legislature.
NEW TAX LAWS DISCUSSED
Wants Measures Perfected By Add.
tiona1 Legislation Doesn't Like
the Dispensary Law.

Charleston, w. Va. Jan. 12.-Gover.
nor White this morning submitted bis
biennial message to the legislature.
the document being read to both the
senate and house. The message occu.
pies SO printed pages. and contains
many recommendation on important
subjects which are expected to come
before the legislature.
Considerable attention is devoted to
the new tax laws, which the governor
reviews. He saws the purpose of tie
direct state taxes. and to raise the
needed revenue by license and priv.
lege taxes and other indirect methods.
1t is not claimed that these laws are
perfect, but. that the underlying prin.
ciple is economically sound. Supple.
mental legislation is needed to perfect
the measures. aud this the governor
recommends.
On the matter of registration law
Governor White calls attention TO the
fact that such a law was provided for
in constitutional amendment ratified
in 1902. which said that it shall be
passed. He therefore renews his rec.
ommendation that the legislature pass
such measure. saying that the pres
emit election laws need revision.
La paragraph devoted to the pro
posed dispensary law. the governor
SAYS he is not favorably impressed
with the workings of that system, that
the time is not propitions fer the
enactment of such law. and that this
is subject which requires extended
Thought and investigation. II the
legislature is disposed to take this
matter up, he recommends the crea.
tion of commission to investigate and
report to the next legislature.
On the school question the governor
recommends a minimum term Of six
mouths. and also that the minimum
teachers salary limit be increased.
He recommends the passage of a
stringent law regulating the sale OF
cocaine, "dope' and similar drugs.
Their use has spread alarminalv in the
state, and many crimes are directly
traced to the use of the drugs.
The passage of pure food. law
aimed to prevent adultefations, is also
recommended.
The legislature is asked to make ar
appropriation of 50, LAB IL. to REIN
burse the governor for the expense OF
protecting the rapist Williams during
the trial held at Charles Town las

summer. This amount was borrowed
by the governor to pay the militia and
the railroads for transportation.
The report of the trustees of Berke.
lev Springs, who extended the time OF
building the new hotel, by Charles p
Jack and A r Unger, lessees of the
property, to June /, 1905, was approx.
ed by the governor. and board of pub
lie works.
The enactment of fellow-servant
law designed for the better protection
of the employees of railroads. mills and
other places of more than ordinary
danger, and which would result in
holding the EMPLOYER responsible for
injury TO a workman through the
oarelessness of another employe, is rec
commended.
The creation of railroad commits
sion to take charge of all matters be-
tween the state and the great corpora
tious. particularly the question of
equitable taxation, is recommended.
SLATE GOES THROUGH.
/ Charleston, W. Va, Jan. IL The
opposition TO the nomination of

nothing left of it. 1t was proposed to
make the test of the proposition to
postpone the caucus nomination of q
candidate for senator until next week.

sent around and been signed by all
the repu blican members of the legisla.
ture, agreeing to enter joint caucus
for the pnrpose of nominating sena.
torial candidate.
When the caucus met there was
nobody mentioned but Scott, and those
who were named as leading the oppo.
sition to him were all perched on the
seats OF the band wagon. After a
humber of eulogistio speeches and the
adoption of resolution expressing
conf ience. Senator Scott was renomi-
mated by reclamation. He was con-
Quoted to the speakers stand and re.

The state administration won sig.
nal victory last nioht in the nomina.

of the senate. The fight was very
warm one. and the majority was

This game of being Representative

Japan May Float
Loan in America

ST. PETERSBURG. March "a tel
egram from Tientsin says that negotia-
tons for Japanese loan by American
capitalists have been concluded.
The conditions upon which the loan
is to DE made have not transptred, but
it is said to be known that one group
of capitalists is to receive guarantee
in the shape of japanese railway and
mining shares, and another the naphtna
and other resources of Saghalien Island.
BERLIN, March A.-Tne Frankfurter
Zeitung says that the Japanese govern
ment is about to raise per cent loan
in Germany. 1t Is rumoced that the
Deutsche Bank will raise the loan
through its afIiliation with the Deutsche-
Asiatische Bank.
It is learned that English as well as
German bankers were approached with
regard to "a japanese loan The preilm-
mary discussions were held in London.
whittier the managing director of the
Deutsche- AsiatiSche Bank proceeded.
Probably the first definite statement of
Sthe fate OF the loan may be expected
from London. The Observation-Disclosures
Bank. through which the loan eventually
will be negotiated is a syndicate of the
leading masking houses of various parts
of Germany, the presidency Of which is
exercised by the Disconto Geselischaft,
and not, as was commonly believed, by
the Deutsche Bank.

Why do work and worry and excess and
strain and oyer-indulgence break down con-
stitutions and make men ana women worn
out and run down and restless and sleepieSs
and discouraged and morose? Because they
weaken the tiny, tender nerves on which life
itself depends.
Not the nerves you ordinarily think about
not the nerves that govern your movements
and your thoughts
