The Modern Wood1en deserve great
credit for the success Of the labor day
celebration at Traction Park yester-
day. Thousands OF people took advan-
tage of the opportunity TO spend day
away from the busy scenes of the city
and allexpress themselves as delighted
with the outing. The members of tne
NJ. w. A. were on hands with a large
supply Of good things to eat and they
sold out everything they had and could
have sold much more. The weather
was much better than The early morn
ing signs indicated. The Traction
Company did large business, the
number of fares collected being 1G,O9s.
This shows that Fafrmout people re-
spond to the call when they are asked
to participate in worthy cause. We
congratulate the NJ. w. A. on the sue
cess OF their celebration.

ST. Paul opened AZ per cent. higher
and sold up to 1873, high record since
tie stock was ex-rlghts week ago.
1t is tipped to cross 600 while there is
now expectations that Union Pacific
will reach 220. The sale of Pennsyl-
yania holdings in B. and o. and N. and

1.-THE taxpayers % this section OF
the state know that the true and
actual value rule was not carried out
in assessing their property. Indeed
not more than nifty per cent. Of the
true and actual value was. assessed
against them. They also know that
the Board of Public Works. under the
direction Of Mr.. Dawson has exceed
ed the true and actual value rule: in
assessing railroad properties, in many
instances fixing 1t at hx OF six times
its value. besides dealing in imagin-
airy and speculative estimates.
"when the property Of the citizen
was assessed he was consulted as to
its value and in most instances it was
agreed upon. AS to land the owner at
no time was put under oath. In re.
turning railroad properties the Off
GERS Of each company made out de-
tailed statement of the property owned
by 1t and gave a sworn return as to
its true and actual value The value
placed on the citizens property re.
matned untouched. But how about
the sworn return made of railroad
propertles2 The Board of Public
Works ignored them at the instance
of Mr.. Dawson and he then proceeded
to wage his war against them. The
railroad oft1cial' is presumed to know
what his company owns and its worth.
His sworn statement is entitled to as
much credence us the exparte state
ment OF any other property owner not
under oath. But not SO with Mr.. Daw-
son.
"This litigation and delay In laying
leyies is attributable to him alone.
He is the originator Of it and must
bear its consequences Any dema-
gogic appeal to the people through
partisan newspapers will prove fruit
LESS. as each case should stand upon
its merits and not what the Governor
and his cohorts say about it. The
people are on to his scheme. They
do not endorse system of taxation
intended as an institution of persecb
tion or has for its object the further
ance of the personal interests of de-
signing politicians.
"If the railroad officials have know
lingly made false returns, why not
prosecute them for perjury?
"The first citizen Of The great State
of West Virginia should bear his hon
ors with becoming dignity and not re-
sort to peanut politics"
The question is now up to the PEG
pie whether the fight for tax reform
is to be abandoned when victory is
in sight or whether the past achieve
ments shall not be taken as an earn
est Of what is before us yet to be ac-
compltshed
