In our opinion it will be wise for
the Democratic party in this State
to support the new tax system in
West Virginia, improved by such
amendments as may be necessary to
perfect the recent law. The fact that
the corporations are fighting it Is
proof sufficient that it is good for the
plain people, and the issue ought to
be placed above partisan policies.
