FAIR TO FARMERS.

teThe farmers OF West Virginia
viii not be forgetful of the great
service rendered them by the Re
publican party of the State in Civ
ing them the most wholesome tax
laws they have ever had . says an ex-
change. For the first time, in the
history of the State they have been
required to bear no more than their
-fsir share Of the burdens Of taxa
hon. Heretofore the railroads and
the other big corporations Of the
State have been assessed at such q
small fraction of their actual values
that they have escaped bearing their
Just portion of the taxation Of the
State. If the Republican party had
done nothing else in a decade the
new tax law you'd justify its fur
Haer lease on power.
ssThe tax law Of West Virginia
: now being talked of and studied
all over this country as model tax
law. 1t is said to more evenly di-
Hde the burdens Of taxation than
the ta1 law of any other State.
AWhen the State administration
started out to asses the railroads
and kindred properties there were
those who were skeptical ABOUT it.
They declared that when the test
would come the Board of Public
Works would not dare put up the
assessed values of the railroads. But
how well they predicted may be
judged by the very large increases
that were made. As q result OF the
wholesome Law, and the fair and inn
partial manner in which the Board
of Public Works discharged its func-
lions the railroads have been assess
ed as much as the farmers, and the
dollar Of the corporations can no
longer saddle off unjust burdens on
the dollar of the farmer. It has
brought about state of square deal
for everybody in West Virginia as
regards taxation.
EsThe question now confronting
the people of the State in the selec-
sion Of the next Legislature is
whether the present Wholesome tax
law shall be made to continue or
whether it shall be replaced. The
Democrats have all along opposed
the measure and would today, if they
could repeal it. A Republican
Legislature means continuation of
present conditions. A Democratic
Legislature means a step back, a
resort to the old order of things.
The people will have to choose which
they will have.

dict that the answer viii be plainly

case is. as sc remarked, curious
and interesting.
As to the indignities to the
negroes that the war department
has laid such stress on, the Times
says:
However natural the disappoint-
ment OF the negro soldiers al find
ing (as was inevitably that their
uniform gave them no social pri-
vileges in a Texas town, granting
that they suffered what appeared
to them to be 'indignities" in
being treated precisely all ne

and elsewhere by the custom of the
country negroes are not allowed,
an armed raid into peaceful streets
at midnight with many shots fred
and citizens killed and wounded
was a method Of protest not to be
endured for an instant or justified
for a second. Least OF all should
il be attended by the breath of a
suspicion of sympathy on the part
of the officers IN charge.
The Times condemns the sug-
gestion that the people of Browns
vile ought to be punished" for
presuming to resent anything that
the soldiers might choose to do.
1t says, in concluding this very
sane editorial:
The hint that the president is to
punish Brownsville by discontinu-
ing the garrison. for the present, "
though Of course officially denied,
may or may not have basis of fact.
1t does not, however, appear that
the town IS in need of punishment.
For the raiders to escape without
severe discipline would be a scandal,
But the real responsibility lies at
the door of the war department for
the incredible folly of placing re
gro troops in fort Brown in the first
instance. The army, which exists
for very practical ends, is not
charged with any duty of teaching

While Fritz was snoozing his
father, who occupied the window

The Herald, Daily and Weekly,
is the only paper published in
Cameron county.

THE Corpus Christi Crony makes
a very lame attempt to palliate its
ofrense against Brownsville in the
editorial which was copied in THE
HERALD a few days ago, and
which the Crony now has the as
surance to say THE HERALD mis-
read. The article was read by all
of THE HERALD readers, both in
Brownsville and Corpus Christi,
and this paper is content to leave
them to decide whether or not THE

rather awkward kind of craw-

orado ~irrigators, Mr.. Blakesley has en-
listed the support of the local newspa-

out the necessity of outstanding the
large amount of water now going to
waste during the spring freshets. Ac-
.cording to Mr.. Blakesley there are
sites for 100 small reservoirs in the
Grey Bull valley alone capable of stor-
ing sufficient water for 100000 acres.
These sites are natural reservoirs, re-
quiring a short dam at their lower end
and a supply ditch leading from the
