IN COUNTY.

There are many sources of wealth
in Harrison county outside of the
farms. but it's CHIEF wealth is in its
agriculture. 1t has the highest per-
centage Of cleared land of all the
counties in West Virginia. 1t is.
therefore, the leading agricultural
county Of the State. There has been
much discussion of the question
whether the new tax laws will benefit
the farmer. The result in Harrison
should throw some light on the mat
ter. 1t is the leading farming coun-
ty and the tax rate is the lowest. The
IClarksburg Telegram speaks thus OF
the levy:
"rhe annua, 1eyies under the new
tax laws have been laid. No county
In the State has done better than
Harrison with the county levy
which is only 10 cents instead OF 60
cents under the old lAw. The school
leyfes are down low, as well as the
district leyies. In Cfnrksburg The
total levy, including state. county
CITY and school levy, is but 69'A cents.
Under the old law in 1904 It vas
$3.50. ANY one who a do n fig
airing at Ill knows that the change
~ an lower taxes. And It Is Fra'ity'
Ing 10 trow the land owusrs general

y .c.l all along ami asserted that the
assessment was high, most all tho
real estate owners will pay fewer tax
es this year than under the old law,
and the few that pay higher, II any,
are but paying their equal share as
they we're assessed under the old law
under their neighbors' values. The
truth is, farm lands and city lots will
have very much lower taxation than
under the old law, and Harrison coun-
ty will be found well satisfied with
the workings of the new tax laws.
Lower taxes tell the, story and the
story has been told in Harrison coun-
ty. Now, let the Democratic poll
ticians accept the situation as it is
and admit the truth"

main part of the quotation, thus gar

see that the goose which lays the.
golden egg is not killed?
The fact is that under Republican
state and National rule West Vir-
ginia has prospered to an unneard OF
degree. why, West Virginia voters
were SO well satisfied with conditions
in west Virginia in 1900 that they
gave the administration an unprece
IDENTIFY large majority to keep the pace
of prosperity that had alreay been set.
If it had not been for the wise eco.
nomic laws enacted by the Repub1i-
can state and Feredal governments
does any one think that those great
strides Of progress of the past five
years could have been made?
When things are progressing so
well, when everything and everybody
is prospecting ought there be a
change? DO you want 10 risk a step
backward? 1t would be foolish to
make any sort of a change under these
circumstances, to turn the Republican
party out of power in the interest OF
any other party. but how much more
so would it be when it is the old Dem
ocratic donkey that we are asked to
ptn our faith to. We tried that once.
Times went back as fast then as they
have gone forward under Republican
policies. We followed him once and
he led us through the wilderness of
financial distress. Shall we then
leave off following the G. Q, P. ele.
plant, which a ever led us through
the paths Of peace, plenty and pros
perity?
Never before has Let well enough
alone" been such good advice. And
we predict here that never before will
1t have been so generally followed as
it will be here in West Virginia this
year.
The Republicans In Congress have
helped enact the laws which have
made West Virginia SO prosperous.
Senator E1kins played a most con.
]spicuous part in it. 1t was he who
secured the tariff on lumber. 1t was
he who helped put in a dozen sched-
ules that have helped West Virginia
in her growth. The Congressman
helped to do it, too. They deserve
reelection and the States interests
require it. The Legislature helped,
by framing wise and beneficent State
laws. They should be returned and
they will be. we predict.
