this respect, for it inspires con-

the actual situation, which must i'm
press all as most favorable and in
viting. Lower and more equal
taxes constitute that situation as
well as the fact that the system is
honestly and economically admins
tered. These not only invite in
vestments and developments from
outside but they also emphasize the
advantages of availing ones self of
them, and those are things most inn
portant to manufacturers seeking
locations.
Also these conditions remove the
burdens and h~ardships inflicted un-
der the old system of taxation, when
there was such inequality of taxa
ton to say nothing of their being
so high.

tax lessons for all.

tician to go into Harrison and abuse
the Republican policy of tax reform
and the men who have carried it to
a successful issue. Wonder what
the Democratic spellbinders will
really talk about in Harrison"
Republican and Democrat alike
should bear in mind this fall, when
the Democratic stump-speaker comes
into their neighborhood with a bit
ter TRADE against the new tax
laws and those who made them and
those who are administering them,
that the Republican party and its
representatives in the legislature,
the State government and the coun-
ty government brought about lower
and equal taxation. They should
also recall the fact that the Dem
ocratic party bitterly opposed the re-
duction and equalization of taxes.
They should also bear in mind that
the Democratic party has threaten
ed to restore high and unequal tax
alton, if it gets control of the legis-
lature. Remembering all these
there is but one logical thing
to do and that lis to support and
vote the Republican ticket and for
the party that brought these better
conditions about.

o I N EXAMPLE.

The operation of the new tax
laws and their administration in.
Harrison county attract wide at
tention throughout the State, so
much so that many favorable COM
ments are being made. Harrison
county seems to be one of the very
best examples in this respect and
quite worthy of imitation. In this
connection the Wheeling Intel
hgencer has had several very com
| plimentary editorials relative to
Harrison county and the operation
of the tax laws here and follows them
with this latest one, which places
strong emphasis on the splendid
situation in this county:
Harrison county has some more
tax lessons for us.

amount of county taxes levied this
year in Harrison county instead of
being seven per cent. more than in
1904 is ten per cent. less. The
county does not owe a dollar in any
form but actually has a surplus.
The Republican management of
Harrison county affairs makes an
unrivalfed financial showing. A
good system is being well adminis-
tered there.
"Once more is refuted the Demo-
cratic assertion that levies are al

Harrison county levies are far be

the levies by the Ohio county court

OUR COUNTY AGAIN.

Since the laying of the levies
Harrison county is getting her name
up some as a notable example and as
teaching real tax reform lessons. A
number of papers in the State have
only the highest words of praise. AS
an example the following is taken
from the Morgantown Post:
EUnder the old law Harrison's
county levy was so cents, under the
new it is 10 cents. In 1904 Clarks-
burg property owners paid a COM
bined levy, state, county, city an
school, of $3.50. This year the
combined levy is 50 1-2 cents. The
tax tickets of Harrison county far
mers will be about half what they
were in 1904. The reason for the
change Is that the new tax laws have
brought upon the assessors books
millions Of dollars worth of Har-
rison county property which escap-
ed taxation under the old regime.
The great corporations holding vast
areas of valuable coal land and the
railroad companies must now pay
taxes on the same basis al the far
mer OF the owner Of a humble home

It is gratifying to the people of
the county and especially the tax
payers to know that Harrison coun-
tv does not owe a cent, but is out of
debt altogether and has a surplus.
Not many counties anywhere can
say so much and we all ought to be
proud of this fact in reference to
our own county. 1t is a condition

Both France and Germany have taken

Germany should now agree to give over
Morocco to France, the efforts of years
would be fruitless and long period of
unrest in European affairs. 1t is believed,
