ribIe railway accident accompanied by
great loss of life and injury TO scores
is reported from Okla. Ten bodies
have been already taken out, and thlr.

severe injuries. No attempt has been
made to eneumerate the slightly in

tween freight and a passenger. The
latter train was almost demolished.
Practically all the passengers were
buried in the wreckage. Fire broke
out and a number of fatalities are due
to flames and 1t is believed several bod

the list Of victims so far reported does

HOW Ii WORKS.

The Wheeling Intel!igencer figures
1t out this way:
The total real estate assessment IN
West Virginia in 1904 was $1GS,0OO,
900, which was taxed at So cents per
hundred. ana yielded revenue tc
the State of $5SS,OO0.
The total real estate assessment in
West Virginia in 1906 is $475,OOO,OO
which is taxed at SR cents per hun
bred and will yield 100000,
Real estate has been relieved OF
$1S4,OOO taxes.
The total assessment of railroads in
West Virginia in 1904 was sSG,o00,0o0
which was taxed at S5 cents and
yielded $4,000.
The total assessment Of railroads
In West Virginia in 1906 was S17G,'
100000, which is taxed at Sk cents
and will yield s159,GOO
This is one of the samples of the
working of tax reform, The farmer,
the merchant and the small house
owner can easily see where and how
he is benefited

WANTED A MOTOR BOAR.

A pathetic story comes from Parkers-
burg. A husband of but few months,
a trusted bank clerk, who had worked
himself up from messenger boy after
many years Of faithful service, Carroll
Picket, aged thirty years, has left the
city with about $4,000 Of the banks
money and his young wife knows not
OF his whereabouts. On last Saturday
evening he telephoned his wife that
he would not be home as he was going
on an excursion to Cincinnati, but he
said he would be back ready for work
Monday morning. In the meantime the
news spread abroad that he was de.
faulter. He has not been heard OF
since. He left $3.50 on the mantel at
home for his wife but as soon as she
heard of the shortage in his accounts
she knew it was not her money and
turned It over to the bank. She says
she fears he will take TO drinking and
end suicide. What caused his down.
fall? One report says he had been
planning enterprises beyond the means
Of a man with a moderate salary, one
Of which was the building for himself
Of a motor boat SO here we have an
other example Of what happens to PEG
pie who are unwilling to live in accord
ance with their income. The end,
which must come sooner or later, is
sure to be disastrous.

The TRANSITION PERIOD.

Sensible people know how to look
at thing in a reasonable way. II
is to that class Of folks we address
ourselves in this editorial. Our Dem.
ocratic friends have all of a sudden
discovered vast number of things
for which they think the money Of the
people ought to be spent. They say
the bridges OF the county are in bad
condition and that the roads are
worse than the bridges. Let us grant
that what they say is true. The same
thing has been true for number Of
years. The roads Of every county
in the State are and have been TO:
years VIGOROUSLY bad. The old sys-
TEN Of taxation was such a poor eX-
cuse as revenue producer, the PEG
lie Of small means bearing nearly all
the load that the funds of the coun.
ties all !an low. In Marion county we
suffered from double iniquity

competent or dishonest County Court.
the result was a tremendous debt
was heaped upon us. Nov, what have
the Republicans done in order to re
lieve the situation? They have adopt.
ed a new system of taxation and en-
deavored to practice economy. AS
soon as the new system gets in full
working order forty or fifty thousand
dollars a year more can be available
for public improvements tlan could
l.; We been possible under the new law
and yet the taxes of the. masses be
considerably lower than under The Oil
system. The Republicans have done
we'll this year. taking everything into
consideration They have provided
for payment Of about $1,000 Of the
Democratic deb[ left them as an I'M
welcome legacy besides paying about
an equal amount Of interest On the
same. They have set apart $4,000
for building and repairing bridges, as
the records show, and as has hereto.

the CITY. Several thousand dollars
more money has been raised this year
Tor county, district and municipal pur.
poses than was raised two years ago
and yet the taxes of the masses have
Leen reduced from 25 to so per cent.
on the average. Now, what are the
possibilities OF the new tax system?
t!nder the old law Marion county paid
annually nearly $5O,O0O into The State
treasury. BY next year there will be
an annual saving to the county FROM
this source Of from $4,000 to 100000
and the State tax may ultimately be
wiped out altogether. That is In the
plan and we believe It will succeed,
We're it not for the debts left over
from the old law under Democratic
administration. we could now have
easy sailing. But it is condition
and not theory that now confronts
us, so we must possess ourselves in
