CHARLESTON, W. Va, Oct. "a
The Supreme Court refused to grant
the mandamus asked by Tax Commls-
sioner Dillon to compel B. E. Ware
and S. T. Garter, assessors of Fayette
county, to reasSess about thirty coal
leaseholds in Fayette county so as
to make the assessments nearer the
real value. The assessors valued the
property at about half million and
the tax commissioner thought they
were worth about six million five hun
dred THOUSAND dollars.
The opinion was by Judge Pofen'
berger. Judges Brannon and Cox Dis
sented and will later set out their
reasons. Judges Sanders and Nc
Whorter concuned in the principal
points in decision and that the man

WHAT THE. ASSESSOR DOES STANDS

= f.. e j
assessors acted fraudulently or arbi-
trarily In assessing the leaseholds is
insufficient to establish the charges
made. It is held that neither the val
ue of the improvements nor the value
of the land is to be considered in hx-
ing the value OF the lease, but only
the extent and quality of the coal held
under the leases and the adaptability
Iof the fixtures to the successful work.
ing of the mine. These facts are to
be considered as circumstances in de.
termining the market value of the
leasehold. II errors have been com.
mitted in valuing the Improvements
on the land for taxation they can not
be corrected by changing the omitted
values in making up the values Of
leaseholds which are considered as in
tangible right.

Judge Pofferberger also handed
down the opinion in case OF Dillon,
Tax Commissioner against j. Walter
GraybeaI, assessor of Mcdowell, in
which the tax commissioner sought to
compel the assessor to assess certain
bank stock that 1t was claimed had
already been assessed and the writ OF
mandamus asked for was awarded. 1t
seems that the assessor allowed the
Mcdowell county bank to exempt
$4,000 of stock in a coal company,
which had already been taxed and tho

tate in making a return Of Its pro-
property. Under the Law chosen by the
bank to make Its return 1t had the
right to deduct the value Of its real
estate which had already been charg.
ed against 1t on the land book. The
bank in asking the deduction took
what is considered the true and ac-
tual value of the property which ex-
.ceeds by several thousand dollars the
assessed value. -,
Judge Pofferberger held for the
State on the matter Of real estate and
for the assessor as to the further as
sessment of the coal. Following is
in the case.

The POWER OF The PRESS.

Mayor Mcclellan was a news
paper man for three years, and the
Philadelphia Record notes that the
heads of the fire and bridge de-
partments were recently reporters:
the Health Commissioner was an
editorial writer; the License Com
missioner, the Assessor, the Water
Register, the Mayors Secretary
and Assistant Secretary, the Secre-
taries of eight city departments
and thirty other officeholders of
some importance were all recently
engaged upon the daily papers.
This is interesting, but not strange.
Two of the three Commissioners
Of the District of Columbia are
newspaper men, and the capital is
a very well governed city. A
good all-round newspaper man is
capable of efficiently performing
administrative and executive work
in almost any position he may be
placed, in which intelligence.
judgement and hard work are re.
quired.

TRAINING is REQUIRED

Thinking men are gradually
reaching the conclusion that our
system of education is fundamen-
tally unsound, in that it is increas
ing its scope of mental training.
Take the tens of thousands of idle
able-bodied people in the country
today and they are persons of more
or less education. Their training
or something has created within
them an antipathy to manual labor
Throughout the country there is
a demand for people who can work
with their hands. They are need
ed in the household, ON the farms,
in the shops and in hundreds of
ayocations. The idle educated
classes do not know how to work
with their hands and there seems
to be an insufficient amount of en-
pioyment to provide for all the
head workers.
And it is a fact that the de-
mand for manual labor is increas-
ing faster than the supply, in spite
of the enormous immigration pour
ing into the country, while on the
other hand, the openings for edu-
Gated people are not increasing in
The ratio that the educated popula-
ton is.
1t is fact that the negroes are
suffering more than the whites be-
cause there are fewer openings for
negroes in ayocations requiring
educated workers. Therefore, when
negro does not known how to
perform skilled labor and is not
inclined to perform common labor,
he is about ''alf in,' as Bob F'itz
simmons would say, for him in
office work or the professions.
But the truth of the matter is,
the negro is not the sole sufferer
in the matter of ignorance of how
to work with the hands. The
white boys who never learn how
to do anything are frequently in
the ranks of the idle and tens of
thousands of them never accom-
plish anything in life because they
lack the independence and oppor-
tunity which manual training
affords.
1t would be a good thing if most
of the money now spent for the
education of negroes were devoted
to manual training.
