The Difference.

There is one thing certain and
that Is II the railroad property ia
this state is worth sI60, 900, 900 the
oil and gas holdings are worth
$50, 600, 900 In 1906 the oil and
gas properties were assessed at
something like SIS. 900, 600 and in
1907 Al alb Dut S35, 900, 900. This is
assessing corporations on he hori
zontal plan. When the Standard
Oh Company's assessment v as raised
from SO. 900, 900 ia 1900 to Sss,
900, 900 in 1907 il entered a mud
protest, although the Preston County
Journal did not chronicle the fact.
1t was too bisy denouncing the
railroads-that is, certain ones.
When bill was introduced IN the
last session of tie Legislature to tax
the productof oil and gas it was
defeated by the frie0ls of the Daw.
son administration. We challenge
the Journal TO deny this. This
shows the Inslnceriiy of the friends
OF the state administration in tax.
ing certain corporations. 1t is the
opinion of those acquainted with
the oil and gas holdings in West
Virginia that they are not assessed
at one. half their "true and actual
value" which further proves that
the board of public works is Just
as liable to err in their judgment Of
the "true and actual value" as
other mortals.
1t is going to take time and
patience to expose all the iniquities
OF the new tax laws. The cry of
"tax reform" was catchy and fooled
many. By passing a bill restricting
the ievying power and reducing the
direct state tax they were able to

duction in taxes, but this was done
at the cost Of public improvements.

more than likely that the elements

in taxation. We shall quietly

Moved Up a Peg.

L
The Coal * Coke railroad had its
inning with the board Of public
works. President Henry G.. Dasis
and Senator Stephen b. Elkins ap
peared and protested agains, the in
crease Of s., 900. 900 over that OF
1890. The board is reported to
have gwen the gentlemen cous,c
Gus hearing, LI r,fIscI to change
the assessment. Here was an OK
cellert chance for tn Preston Couu-
y Journal to- have added another
feather to its headgear and roasted
the corporation which dared TO ask
Tor reduction. 1, would have gone
long way to convince some people
OF the sincerity OF the Journal in de-
nouncing corporations that appear
before such tribunals and ask redress
for what they believe TO be an IN
justice To them. But the wise ones
will say that Senator Elkins is not
only railroad man and coal oper.

postoffices, which some people have
a peculiar lnfatuation for. A per
son would be an migrate who would
denounce his benefactor.
Then, again, some people who
otherwise are brave 10 the point of
rashness, have a well defined re-
spect for the political club in the
hands of the master.
This is indeed a peculiar world,
and 1t seems to be encum bered with
the faker as well as the genuine pa
triot and hero. 1t would not be in
conformity with the facts to saw that
the faker does not fool some of the
people all the time, but it is a trib.
ute to the progress of the age that
the sphere of the faker is within the
limits OF the unlettered. 1t is with
them that the political faker plies
his nefarious vocation.

The journal Answered.

We spoke in a former issue of
federal judges appointed by Roose-
welt, as fighting the states in favor
OF the railroads, and have since been
called upon TOR the names Of some
OF these judges. Well, upon :he
18Th day of last March President
Roosevelt had appointed twelve cir
cult court judges and forty four dis
trio, court judges. Among them are
Judges Pritchard of North Carolina,
Jones of Alabama. Quarles of Wis
consin, Boyd Of North Carolina.
and so on through the long list of
fifty SIX names. 1t IS notorious
fact that hardly any one has been
appointed to seat on the bench of
any inferior federal court since De-
cember /, 1901, without the indorse-
ment OF some great corporation Of
which he was at the time, or had
previously been, the attorney. Sew
eral Of these men had occupied seats
in the United States senate as the
result of railroad influence. Putch-
