saIoonkeepers Awful Threat.

Down on the west side there is a
little beer saloon run b. a little old
fashioned Irishman. IL saloon prop
er is about as big as good-sized hall
bedroom, and is furnished with few
tables and rickety chairs and small
stove. Nearly every night a lot of
freshmen of the neighborhood gather
here. to rley forty-five aal drink mir
ed ale. 4 je nights a. here was
row over a game. Ia : broke the
tables and chairs, tipped over the
stove and put the place in a bad
way generally.
The proprietor took the shindy
quietly for about half an hour. Then
when two of the bunch were IN a
corner trying to pound the life ont OF
each other ne spoke up and said:
Here, nowl Ye b'ys will have t.

IsTHE b. AND o. MAKING AN HON.
EST FIGHT?

Sincerity Is regarded as a very i'm
boitant element in trying to support
any cause or position. Without 1t all
arguments made in case fall to the
ground. We have before us the case
3of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Z Company which has appealed from
the assessments Of its property as
made by the Board of Public Works.
! Under the old law In this State It is
}a well known fact that property was
assessed at various estimates ranging
from about one-half to one-tenth of
the true and actual value, Under the
new law an attempt has been made to
equalize the assessments. The result
is that all kinds of property have
been increased. Farm lands have
been as rule doubled, although in
many instances the increases have
been much more. City properties
have been increased from three to
SIX times, coal lands from four to
ten, and in some instances In the
State, twenty times the former valua-
tons. AS consequence Of the in.
cFeases In assessments the rates OF
levy have been reduced from three
md one-haIf to four times. The
State levy has been reduced from IS
cents on the hundred dollars valuation
to S5k cents on the hundred. The
county levy in Marion has been cut
from 60 cents to IS cents and the
district levies have shown similar de.
creases. Now, what about the B. and
10. Railroad Company valuations? IN.
der the old law the property in this
State was assessed at about $15.000,-
600, in round numbers. This year,
nnder the new law the company asks
gt6 be assessed at about $l7,000,000. 1t
would have to be assessed at about
4 $50 ,000, 900 before the valuations
would be doubled. For years 1t has
haen a notorious fact that railroad
valuations were considered lower thar
that Of most other kinds Of property,
but this year the company asks for
an increase far below that of the
farms and homes. What would be
the result should its contention be
sustained? Let US look at the figures.
IA 1904 the B. and o. assessments
were about $15,000000. as stated
above. At IS cents on the hundred
Tint would produce $52,50O. How
much would $17,000,000 produce at
K cents? A calculation shows that
II would be only $22,10O. The same
thing would happen in the county
where the levy is only IS cents on
Tie hundred as compared with 60

A 4MEAM pIsposIrIoN.n

The Democrats show mighty mean
disposition in taking pleasure In see
ing certain peoples taxes increased
and in hunting up the records Of these
unfortunate individuals and publish
ing their troubles to the world. For
our part we prefer to spread glad tid-
ings and carry news that is pleasing
to the people. The West Virgintan
carries joyful tidings to from seventy
five to eighty tax payers in this coun'
ty each day. The news causes re1olc-
ing to the whole family, so we are
safe in saying that each tax list pub
lished makes from 300 to 400 people
happy over the large reductions ID
taxes as shown by the tax tickets. On
the other hand, the list published by
the Times makes the tax lodging cor.
porations and people heretofore not
bearing their share Of the tax burden
look down their noses and hang their
heads in shame. Oh, 1t is so much
nicer to be Republican and have good
and cheering news to tell. Now, real
ly, don't you think SO?

ANOTHER QUESTION.

The Times in attempting to answer
for Judge Raymond, Nm. 3. Ice and
II. H.. Rose as to what they think
about the railroads and other public
service corporations being assessed at
"five or six times" their
"true and actual value" says
they have nothing to do with
these assessments; that they are
made by the Board Of Public Works.
All right, that Is one way of trying to
eVade the question, but do these men
say they favor the law which makes
It possible for the Board of Public
Works to assess the railroads at their
true and actual vaIue7 Would they
vote to repeal this law? Do they
think the Board Of Public Works has
assessed the railroads too high?
