The Board Of Public Works Of
West Virginia has added 100000
to the railroad assessments IN this
State, an increase of about 10 per
cent. This, in our opinion, is real
tax reform. Taking off the State tax
from individual taxpayers and adding
it on the county tax, or by inquisitor-
ial processes bringing out additional
personal property for taxation, isn't
helping the cause very greatly. But
when the big public service corpora
tons can be made to pay their fair
share of the taxes, then relief will be
given ordinary folks. Ten per cent
increase is pretty fair start in the
right direction, and We hope the good
work may go on until the railroads
are compelled to pay according to the
privileges they enjoy and are assessed
as to their true and actual value.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT has made
public statement concerning the
work on the Panama Canal. He says
that while there are many difficulties
in the way, there is no reason to be-
lieve that the canal will not be COM
pleted in due time, and that our gov
eminent will surely accomplish what
it has set out to do.
1t is noticeable that those persons
who have not been on the Isthmus of
Panama are quite sanguine about the
completion of the canal. On the con-
trary, however, the men who have
been there to see conditions for them
selves are pessimistic on the subject,
and they agree in the belief that if
the canal is ever built it will be at a
vastly greater cost and will take a
much longer time than is now con-
templated.

TAX LEVY TO BE REVISED
County Court May Reduce It tol
Much Lower Figure.
WHISKEY MAY BE ASSESSED
Reported That Mr.. Ellis May Add
100000 to Taxable Property
The Court Notes.

The members of the Berkeley County
court will hold an important session
10 the court house on Saturday next,
at which time revision of the
county tax levy for county and road
purposes will probably be made.
Other impor tsnt business will be the
appointment of road supervisors and
overseers Of the poor where vacancies
exist, the consideration of applications
for admission to the home for incur
ables, and the revocation of brewery
license.
The more important, of course. will
be the revision of the tax levy for
county and road purposes. At re-
cent meeting the court fixed the levy
at 48 cents for county purposes and 2
cents for road purposes in all districts
except Gerrardstown, where the levy
was made as cents This was re-
duetion of cents for county purposes
under last years figuree, and now the
members of the court are con templat-
ing still further reduction, it being
rumored that they will drop from 2
to 5 cents all around. OF conrse, this
is a matter of conjecture. but it
would surprise none il it were done.
In connection with the rumor OF
reduction of the tax levy comes
statement that Tax Assessor Ellis NAV
lew upon the large quantity OF
whiskey stored in the warehouses of
the Hannis Disti)ling Co., in this
city, aud if this is done it will mean
about $500, 900 added to the taxable
property Of the countv, as the whiskey
stored there is estimated to be valued
mt that figure. Mr.. Ellis has not
determined that this step shall be
raken, but il 10 reported that he is
contemplating it. The fact, also, that
there has been an increase of 81 900.
600 in personal property over the tax
able basis of last year is taken to
mean that the county court will ultl-
mately reduce the levy to much
lower nRure tnan lafV year.
The brewery license to be revoked
is that of the Leder Weidman Co. OF
Harpers Ferry. The members OF this
firm applied for wholesale license
here last spring, decided that they did
not need it aud refused to pay for II
until compelled to do so by Sheriff
Gardner, as told in The Evening World
q week ago. They have now applied
for the refunding of the license fee OF
1875 and, will get their money in due
time.
There Will he two or three applica.
tions for admission to the state home
for ircnrabies, as well as several va
cancies in small offices in the county
to fill.
