Do you think that a msioriiy of
the present County Court com.
posed of two Republicans has been
worth so much more than the for
mer members of your CourtP
Why, it has taken over $1,000 to
pay them off this year. What
have they done to require three or
four times more than it has been
necessary to pay the County Court
in former years?
The Republicans have had a
majority all along, and they are
responsible for what takes place.
It's a sad reality that this Court
will go down in history as having
received the largest salary ever
paid to members of the Court.

Republicans, you have been
growing and dissatisfied for sever
al years about condition of county
affairs. and often you have openly
said, II am going to vote for the
best man hereafter Now your
nominees do not suit you this time,
and the Democrats have brought
out their best men to give you q
chance to play even. So vote as
your conscience dictates. Compare
the men on the Democratic ticket
with those on the Republican.
Then if you have been honest in
your expression, you will make the
old Republican ballot look like it
had been struck by den of cats.

The Charleston Gazette is trying
to get the Republican committee
to arrange "Home Coming" for
Governor Dawson in Kanawha
county. in which county he ran
over 300 votes behind his ticket,
and has agreed to advertise the
meeting for him. AT Clay Court
House last week. Dawson told his
hearers that the people in Charles
ton were corrupt. and boodlers.
and that it was this GLASS of people
together with the tax-dodgers, that
caused him to run 300 votes be-
hind his ticket. It is well known
that Dawson could hardly get a
corporal's guard if he made a
speech there at Charleston Where
property is assessed at its true and
actual value, the taxes are going to
be raised, and the Charleston Ga
zette shows how it has affected the
tax payers there. In some of the
other counties property has not
been given in as it was in large
number of the others and as con
sequence some of the property has
not been raised as it should be,
and tax has not been increased
proportionately.
This county. in many places. has
not suffered the in ,rease that some
of the counties have. and some of
them have not had their taxes
raised as they should. to their true
and actual value. Some of the
other counties do not have suffi-
oient revenue to carry on the legit
innate expenses of the county
Well. what a peculiar mix up this
tax law has made; and it is all
Dlwson's. He is welcome to it.
The Republican management in
Mason county have become alarmed
over the situation, and sent for
Dawson to come and make speech
here. 1t was just a few days be
fore the election, so that there was
no chance of correcting any state.
ments that he made; but that won't
matter; the people can think for
Themselves. He tried to explain
his fake tax measure to his own
satisfaction, and told how he had
succeeded in stopping all the pub
lilo improvements throughout the
State, 30 that no more railroads
are being built, nolmore coal mines
being opened up. and so on. He
also admitted that these same tax
laws, which was once claimed by
him to be absolute perfection, need
some amendments.
But what Dawson failed to ex
plain to the dear people. and where
he left off. will be taken up by
Hon Riley Blessing and the Hon

Decision Against Dawson.'


The Supreme Court of this State,
in an opinion handed down, on
last Wednesday. decided the case
of Dillon. Tax Commissions
against the Assessors. from Fay
cite County. against DiIlons' CON
tention The object of the suit
was to compel the assessors TO value
the leasehoId estates at their trne
and actual value. that vAlue being
far more. according to Mr.. billions
views than what the assessors
thought it should be. The court
held that the assessors had right
to fix the value at what they
thought was right; and. also, in.
cidentally decided that leasehold
estates were not the subject of
tsxation. in the manner in which
it was sought to t x them under
the Dawson law. So there is one
case that has reached the Court
that knocks out a part of the in
famous laws of Dawson As other
Gases reach the Court. they. too,
may beheld invalid So, it is hard
to tell just how much of the Law
will be left when it is thoroughly
sifted. 1t is also hard to tell what
taxes will be to pay by the time
this thing ends.

and see. Politics are changing ter
ribly. No man can tell what day

ing independent. and have decided
to vote for the interests of the

good of the whole people. That is

While there Is considerable diversity

30 biologists throughout the country
have expressed their willingness TO
accept any definition agreed on by
the majority Of active workers on
