NUMBER 10
Will the legislature Be Called In
extraordinary Session?

There il talk of an extraordinary
session of the West Virginia Legis-
lature To amend the new tax laws,
which according TO recent decis-
sion of the Supreme Court IN case
from Writ county, are declared de.
toient aud can only be remediei
by fun ther legislation.
The decision il To the effect that
Section 20 OF Chapter 63 Of the acts
OF 1907 does not repeal Section %
OF Chapter 43 OF the Code. La other
words that county court has the
power To levy, in addition TO the
forty cents for county purposes,
any amount for road purposes up to
'he extra 6fty-tive cents, which
would bring the total levy up to
the constitutional limit of ninety
five cents.
The Parkersburg State Journal,
regarding the decision, says:
'The whole cause of the trouble
the little rift within the Lutte
that led To this decision which has
Knocked the props temporarily from
under tax reform IL the emission Of
the words 'including road levies,'
from the empowering clause of the
amending act Of 1907. These magic
syllables had figured in the previous
amending act of 1905, but were
left out of the latter act.
The original provision IN the
Code which was the subject of these
lamentations IL contained in Section
90, of Chapter 43, and simply gives
the county courts the unquah6 fed
power to make road levies. The
Supreme Court holds that this pro-
vision is neither expressly nor by
implication repealed in the 1907
act, and tnat the county courts can
therefore exercise the power grant
ed In addition to using that which
they possess under all the tax laws
that is, to levy forty cents for
CounIf purposes.
In the amending act of 1905, to
'prevent the county levies from be-
ing put up on the increased basis of
valuation, this increase was express
ly limited to five per cent of the
previous years, and il was explicit
ly stated, In so many words, that
the whole, 40 limited, should in
clude all road ievies. The object
everywhere was To prevent extrava-
gance and to guard against the
abuse of the increased valuation.
The defect can be remedied if
action is taken at once, in time to
prevent much if any harm being
done, and II is thought that Cover
nor Dawson will not hesitate In this
verltable crisis which the new tax
laws are facing. For, of course,
this decision affects not Writ county
alone, but every county in the State.
'lt can be readily seen, said an
advocate of the new system of taxa
ton, In discussing the matter this
afternoon, that if the county courts
are permitted to put a total levy at
the old figure, on the new basis of
values. the whole end and aim of
tax reform is defeated"

Political.

The Washington cores pondent OF tne
Richmond News-Lsader writes II hs'
been learned 10 Washington that sena,
tor Thomas s. Martin, who is abroad
for the benefit Of Mrs. Martins health,
will return within a short time ana ru-
nor has il that he will take an active
part in the Eighth district congressional
race in favor of Charles Q. Carlin, 10
return for the vigorous campaign that
Mr.. Csrliu wsged for Senator Martin
two years ago when the junior Senator
was being opp sed by Ex-Governor Mon
taeue. At that time there was no strong
or Martin supporter and worker any
where in Virginia than Mr. Carlin, and
he put in some telling ticks for his
candidate. -.
The fight to secure the Rixey seat will
undoubtedly warm up considerably with
the return of Senator Martin and some
interesting developments are looked Tor
The Eighth district ia composed OF the
counties OF Alexandra, CulprPer, Fair
fax, Fauquier. King George, Louioun,
Louisa, Orange, Prince William a. q
Staff ,rd, and has a total population oi
about $50, 900.
1t is impossible yet 10 say who has the
lead in those counties. The FIVE candl-
dates row in the field Judge Nicol,
Oharl 8 @. OArlin. James @. Hooe,
John F. Ryan aud r. L. Gordon are
all popular aud have many followers.
The News Leader correspondent has
made an effort several times lately 70
find out what the general sentiment OF
the people is with respect to selecting
a successor to Representative Rixey, but
for the reasons given, 1t is almost imPos'
sible at this day to say that any Particu-
lar candidate has a lead over the others.
If Senator Martin takes hand in the
FIGHT upon his return home and helps
Carlin. as it is said he will, the latter
will undoubtedly gain big lead. be
has had a considerable amount OF exPe-
Renee in polhes generally within the
last few years
GOVeFDOT SWhHSohI "hhS 49,
advocating he election of any OF the I'VE
candidates in tho field, is understood,
like Senator Martin, to look with favor
upon Mr.. CarlIn. The influence of the
governor, though silent, will undoubtedly
me.n much TO Mr.. Carln.
The other candidates, however, arr
not without s,rong support in the E'ghth
district and IT muet not be understood
That because Senator Martin and Cover
nor Swanson probably favor Carlin In
preference to the others that the latter
lack followers. Such is not the case,
aud many persons who have been here
recently from different parts OF the dis
trict are warm in their PRAISE of some Of
the other men.
Between this time and the date OF the
pnmary-June l9--it is said that the
coming coutest in the Eighth distric'
will develop many interesting situations,
and especially upon the return OF Sena'
tor Martin.
