The Fayette Journal, edited by
that veteran newspaper man George
C. Mcintosh. on the subject of 1.-THE
Corporation in Politics, +" is pronounc-
ed in its views and does not hest
tate to state forcibly the rtghtful
place Of Industrial and railroad cor
porations in the political game. Per-
haps, the position taken is more
radical than has generally been tax
On heretofore, hut it is strictly in
line with public sentiment. and.
Therefore will be fruitful. On this
subject the Journal says:
"A warning needs to go to the IN
dustrlal and railroad corporations Of
The State that If it is their pur-
pose in future TO play their hands
for political points, 1t must he with
steadfast aim to better the game
and net degrade 1t. They need no
special representative in any office in
the State. All that they need or
can possibly desire is to share equal

end burdens OF government, unhin-
dercd in the affairs OF their bust
ness by the malignments Of dema-
sogues, and unpreiudiced before the
tribunals Of the people in Their ac-
Cnuntings there.
The Journal speaks this warning
for a purpose. If the purpose be
hidden to the general reader it will
he well enough understood by those
to whose special attention It is d.
rected. This paper has in the past
shown its friendship to the business
institutions of the State by under
taking their defense against the in
decent and clamorous assaults of
rarting demagogues. And 1t is with
no abatement of that friendship that

to encourage public respect they
must do it by being respectable.

Men who handle their resources with
thrift and economy are usually the
ones to give character and RESPONSE

Taxes Are Lower.

The Fairmont Times makes the re-
markahle statement that the Dem
ocratic party has rellgiously observ-
ed the rights of the people when It
came to taxing them, something
which the Republican party has
not"
The assertion is one OF the most
brazen paper could make in view
Of the course of the Times and It's
party in this State both as to State
and county affairs. Remarkable, in
deed. that such a declaration should
be made, when one compares the
taxes now with what they used to be.
The history of Marion and Harri-
son counties now under Republican
'.ra shows that the taxes of the COM
mon people. or average property
tolders were higher under Demo-
cratic administrations than at pres
ent. A casual glance at the matter
also emphasizes the fact that right
now taxes are lower than ever and
mis- applies to the State as well as
these two counties.
The Times ought to throw aside
IT, prejudice and take the advice OF
some of It's party papers, which are
now advising its party and papers to
eliminate the question of taxation as
