The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1905-07-03

The word comes from other coun.
ties, as well as our own, that asses.
sors often meet with surprises in this
that men supposed to be possessed of
great deal of personal property-es-
pecialIy money and bonds-do not
make the fact known to the Off.
cers-do not list 1t for taxation.
There has been way in the past for
persons having money to evade taxa.
ton by. investing it in government
bonds. That has been deemed lie.
climate way, and many individuals
as well as banks took advantage of
IL, but under our new tax laws the
payment of taxes can no longer be
eyaded in that manner How to reach
persons who will not honestly report
to the assessors the amount of money
they have in their possession is the
next important question to be deci.
ded in connection with our tax laws.
A good suggestion has been made, and
that is that a law be enacted by our
next Legislature that will seize a
mans estate at his death, and If 1t
be found that he has not been paying
his just proportion of taxes that they
be deducted from his estate. or
course. such law as this would not
be successful in all instances, but It
would no doubt be of considerable
benefit. That there should be legis-
lat.on along this line most people can
plainly see. AS long as some tax.
payers believe that others, who are
thought to be in better circumstances,
are eyading the laws, there will be
disposition on the part of many TO
do likewise. AS Commissioner Moore,
of our County Court; remarked the
other day, If ell the people would be
honest and report their property to
the assessors, taxes in Marion county
would hardly be 20 cents on the 500
valuation.

In speaking of Judge Mason's de-
cision in regard to taxing leaseholds
and OF the laws passed by the last
session Of the Legislature authorizing
their taxation. the Wheeling Intelli.
gencer made the remarks below,
which should not be forgotten:
The old Democratic laws did not.
The new Republican laws do.
The Republican party is the party
which does things. That's all.

1t is so tiresome that 1t is really
disgusting to attempt to follow up the
Times in its meanderings on the tax
question. The editor lodges around
from one place to another, weaves so
many wondrous theories and makes
so many false deductions that some
people mistake his notions for wis.
dom. That is probably the reason he
continues TO wriggle and wrlthe.
a few days ago we we're told that
the Tires man was greatly surpris.
ed at the lensehold decision which
was handed down by the State Su.
preme Court. We have no doubt of
it. He will likely be surprised TO see
how well the new tax laws are going
10 work. He was PROBABLY surprised
when he saw in the West Vlrginian
on Saturday that the Board of Pub
lie Works is planning an additional
cut In the State levy this year. An.
other surprise may be in store for
him when reduction Is made in the
county and city tax rates. But what
we started out to call especial atten-
ton to was the statement OF the
Times that the Republicans ought not
to have any credit for the law taxing
leaseholds as it had been on the
statute books for number OF years
and had not been enforced. Judge
Mason knocked that statement into a
cooked hat on Saturday by deciding
that the law passed by the West Vir.
ginia Legislature in 1905 was the only
one by which such property could be
taxed. But Judge Mason and the
State Supreme Court don't know
much; the Times and Wait Conway
are the fountains Of wisdom on the
subject OF taxation. The Lord forgive
us for lying, even in satire.

While a resident of Sioux Falls she was

however has positively denied over being
married Last January, when it was dis
covered that the woman who was sup
posed TO be his wife was in Sioux Falls, he
issued a statement that he never was mar

wife was often repeated as the work OF per

Nevertheless, the woman in The ques-

but the father has the privilege, II he wishes

After procuring her decree, Mrs Frawley

and where il is understood she will make
her home in the future. The fact that she
instituted her divorce suit in a county in
the interior of the State and on the fringe
of settlement indicates that she desired
to prevent knowledge of her suit becom-
