words. At the hearing before Ta:,
Commissioner Dillon few days ago
the representatives OF these great in.
terests were, loud and vehement; In
their declaration that they did not
wish to- escape any part of their just
taxation, and were willing to pay on q
fair assessment Of all their property.
Commissioner Dillon has decided that
sSthe. duty Of the assessors TO reach
a. fair valuation of all this property
aud in doing so they must include the
enormously valuable, leaseholds under
which the coal, oil and gas compa.
MES control and operate a large por.
/ Etiona Of the coal, oil and gas territory.
Of the State. The process. by. which
assessors are TO arrive at the value OF
these leaseholds under the Commits.
sioner's instructions is simple. The
lease holds are to be regarded as any
other property, and: their value reach
ed by an estimate based, on the mon.
eys earning capacity. A coal, oil 2or
gas lease hold capable Of earning ST.;
900 year for r;an operator. will be as
sessed on the same basis as any other
property capablesof earning $1,000 per
year. When leaseholds are producing
the problem of value is thus reduced
to the simple question Of the amount
and value Of production. Non-produc,
ing leaseholds are, Of course not to
beitaxed,5 except on a fair estimate Of
their market value, and the assessors
The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1905-04-01

are given minute instructions as to
the methods OF ascertaining the fair
value of a non.producing lease hold.
The proximity 10 producing territory
the probable price at which the lease
would sell, and other conditions are
also to be taken into consideration in
assessing non.protlucing lease holds.
The Triumph of Tax Reform.
No feature of the reform program
has been more bitterly fought over
than the proposition to tax the enor-
mously valuable lease holds Of the
coal, oil and gas companies. Govern
or Dawson has been an earnest advo.
cate of such taxation from the start,
and during the heat Of the bitter cam.
paign Of last! year he never wavered
in the declaration that If he were
elected governor these great sources
Of wealth which had hitherto escaped
taxation would be listed on the assess.
or's books. The opposition to the tax
has been violent in the extreme, and
did not cease either with the election
Of the governor or with the fight in
the legislature. The pressure brought
to bear on both Mr.. Dawson and Mr..
Dillon during the past month has been
enormous, Influential members Of
both political parties; attorneys and
agents Of the coal, oil and gas compa.
MES Of all shades and descriptions
have pleaded, argued and threatened;
and all without avail.

At the clusion Of tie interview

Speaking to representative OF the
press, Governor Dawson said:
These taxes are nothing more
than fair. Our Instructions are. In
effect that these lcaseholds are 10

property. There is no enmity to cor:

1t is reported here that a number

TO fight the tax, and will endeayor
to make a test case, but both Mr..
Dawson and Mr.. Dillon express conf.

In a fit Of religious frenzy. He shot
himself through the heart with a

John the Baptist was John NC.

preached wherever the spirit moved
him-on the street, In his own home
or in a street car. Several times he
jumped from his wagon and rushed
into church and insisted on being
