West Virginia argus. [volume] (Kingwood, W. Va.) 1877-1946, 1907-10-10

When Bill Dawson was can
didate for governor he told the
people if they would elect him he
would give them "an economical
and business-like administration"
Has he done it? Let the Journal
answer, and while it is preparing
Its answer we want to say TO the
taxpayers that Bill's economical
and business-like administration"
will cost them over sG,0OO,OOO,
while the last Democratic admin
istration cost but 100000. This
is what 'Preston's favorite SON"
calls "tax reform"
West Virginia argus. [volume] (Kingwood, W. Va.) 1877-1946, 1907-10-10

If the Republicans in Union
district have ever entertained the
idea that the Preston County Jour
nal was the representative of the
Republican party its opposition
to their candidate for governor
should convince them that the
Journal represents nothing but
the machine and will support nc
candidate who has not the label
of the machine blown into hi.

West Virginia argus. [volume] (Kingwood, W. Va.) 1877-1946, 1907-10-10

Won't the Journal tell the peo-
pie whom it so hypocritically pre-
tends to represent, why the friends
OF the Dawson administration de-
feated the senate bill placing a
tax upon the production of oil and
gas? Was this in the interest of
the farmers and small property
holders? The oil and gas is taken
out of the stete and the people of
West Virginia derive no revenue
from them, while the oil aud gas
companies are making their mil
lions.

They are having another Cuban
instruction, which reminds us
that Bill Dawson is not the only
oflice-holder who is having his
troubles in trying to stem the tide
against the gubernatorial breast
works. There seem to be several
gentlemen on the "of-side" who
are training their guns in that di-
rection.
West Virginia argus. [volume] (Kingwood, W. Va.) 1877-1946, 1907-10-10
What is 'tax reform?" Increase
in public expenditures from ST.
600, 900 to So, 100000.

Will some one kindly inform us
what The pieman and the under
brush author know about politics?
We have searched in vain through
the columns of the organ.
West Virginia argus. [volume] (Kingwood, W. Va.) 1877-1946, 1907-10-10

The Journal is all the time tell
ing its readers what the Dawson
administration has done TO the
railroads in the way of taxing
them. If it meant to be fair it
would tell how the same admins
tration has taxed the coal, oil, and
gas companies. Even as dumb
an animal as the Journal is it is
aware of the fact that the railroads
are assessed much higher than the
other corporations. Why is it?
West Virginia argus. [volume] (Kingwood, W. Va.) 1877-1946, 1907-10-10

Men who worship political ma
chimes never see facts. They are
carried to the utmost extremity of
binding subserviency. There is
a blissful instance of this in the
local organ. If the head of the
machine Is not extolled by the peo-
pie with sackbut and psaltery the
fanatically devout worshiper of
the Boss spits contumely at those
who refuse to fall down and wor-
ship. But the flames of wrath are
harmless and the people do not
mind the braying of the organ.
West Virginia argus. [volume] (Kingwood, W. Va.) 1877-1946, 1907-10-10

Here is one thing we want the
taxpayers to remember when the
Journal is spouting about what
the present state administration
has done in the way of taxing the
railroads: The gas and oil hold
ings in the state of West Virginia
are estimated to be worth from
$150,O00,0O0 to $2OO,OOO,OOO.
They are assessed for about $780,
100000. Do the taxpayers of
West Virginia consider that the
"true and actual value?"

The Journal is as enthusiastic
for the saloons as it is for Charley
Swisher for governor. But a short

If Arnold Scherr will just stay

Why is the Journal opposed to

Because Mr. Scherr "has never

would not permit Bill Dawson and
