Ennn1izing valuations.

The increase in assessed value of
developed farm lands in the State has
been hardly as much on the average
as one and one-half to one.
In Berkeley county, under the old
law, the assessed value was $1,000 an
acre, or an average, on real estate.
Mcdowell county. under the old law
$3.96 per acre. on an average. Under
the new assessment, Berkeley county,
is S13.S4 an acre. an increase of 30
per cent Mcdowell county $6261
an acre, or 1900 per cent. The val
ne ofrcoaI lands accounts for this.
-Greenbrier county, purely an agri-
cultural county, $4.9S, under the old
law; Logan county $2.53 an acre. I'm
der the new assessment. Greenbrier
county about so per cent. of an in
crease. It is now $S.5S, and Logan
county $1,000 an acre, or an increase
of 500 per cent.
jackson county is a typical agricul-
tural section. and under the old law
it was assessed at $3.50 an acre; Fay
cite county was S6.22. Under the
new assessment Jackson county has
increaed just so per cent. or to
$500 and Fayette county to S31.o4,
or an increase of about 500 per cent.

Bennett Tax Tables.

Tables showing the amount of
taxes paid by Louis Bennett, the Dem
ocratic nominee for governor of West
virginia, under the old tax laws and
under the new, reveal clearly the
motive OF Bennett in his bitter at
tacks in this campaign and a prev
ious campaign on tax reform. These
tables show that he escaped proper
taxation under the old laws and in
some instances the taxes he paid
were merely nominal and not in keep
ing with the value of the lands taxed.
Louis Bennett was not only not
willing to pay any more taxes but he
resorted to the influence of wealthy
man over Democratic county courts
to reduce the valuations OF his lands
so that his future taxes would be
lower.
Bennett was not content to stop
there, however, but announced him
self for governor, made hard
fought campaign to get the nomina-
ton and is now busily engaged in try
ing to persuade the people that they
ought to elect him.
Why does Bennett want to be gov
ernor? Why is he fighting laws de-
signed to make equal taxation and to
relieve the average I'm pay CT ny III
posing taxes on special privileges and
in proportion to mems wealth? With
his record on tax reform at command
has this paper not the right to insist
that his motive in aspiring to the gov
crnorship is to occupy n position
which he may use to bring about a
complete destruction of the system Of
taxation, which has succeeded to
some extent in the states deriving
more proper amount of taxes from
vast areas of lands In the state, such
as he is interested in? Does he not
seek to be governor to restore old
conditions, when his taxes were
much lower than they ought to have
been and not in lair proportion to
the taxes paid by the smaller proper
ty owners?
These tables are lessons for all
men in the matter of taxation and
they will sink deep into the hearts of
all men, who desire to pay their just
proportion of the taxes and no more,
and who want all other men to pay

The solar PIeyus BLOW.

Democrats are not at all pleased
with the enthusiastic receptions that
are being given Candidate William E.
GIasscock on his speaking tour in the
state First, his appearance here
brought out large numbers and they
did not like it. So they showed
their tIispleasure by making slurring
remarks about the meeting. Next
the homecoming affair at Morgan
town in his honor was SO large and
enthusiastic that they again scowled
and grumbled.
Next was the FHairmont meeting,
where multitudes gathered to hear
and cheer him. They simply could
stand it no longer and their newspa-
pers had to resort to defamiIg him
by making destinations that he was
not his own man.
Then came the climax at Cfbarles-
ton, where the big wigwam would not
begin to hold the people. That was
too much for the Democrats ard they
broke loose again about Senator
1fkins and since then they fehrfully
read the news that comes from Mr..
GIasscocl1's meetings in the southern
sections of the state. They are I'M
able to understand why the Republic
can party is unit again. They
hoped they would have advantage of
a divided Grand Old Party.
But Mr.. Glasscock's nomination
crushed out that hope, and IL they
need more Information in order to
come to some understanding as to
what has given them the solar plexus
blow, all they need do is to recall the
fact that Mr.. GIasscock suits the Re
publicans of this state and as they are
largely in the majority he is going
TO be the next governor of the state.

The Tnx Commissioner.

Democratic politicians resort to the
deceit OF attempting to impress the
people with n Matched idea that the
state tax commissioner Office is a
luxury and imposition. They hold
out that it is useless and expensive,
yet they appear to have no definite
idea OF what they are talking about.
Evidently without investigation of
the work and expense of the office
they jumped to the conclusion that
it was no good and must go. Au-
thentfc information on the subject
shows that the Office has no horde"
of employees, as the Democrats assert.
Indeed, there are but six employees,
including a lady stenographer. and
the cost to run the department is, less
than 100000 a year.
Now, We know the cost. How
about the benefits derived? Let us
note the latter briefly.
Last year by the activity of the Tax
Commissioner ONCE, with it's awful
..horde' of six employees, including a
lady steuographer, over S3O0,OO0.OO
of money was put into the State
Treasury and it is safe to say that
one-half to three-fourths of this
would have escaped had it not been
for this department There was also
a saving of over $3.50, 900 effected by
supervision of the tax levying bodies,

BrIan the E1tern1lnator.

William Jennings Bryan went into
business as an extermtnator in 1895
and has stuck to it ever since. He
got after the gold bugs that year
and announced that he would ex-

by copious applications OF his cele-
brated free silver powder. He an
nounced his program In speech in
Albany, N. Y, August %, 1895, in
the following terms:
THE Democratic party has begun
a war OF determination against the
gold standard. We ask no quarter,
we give noIquarter. We shall prose-
cute our warfare until there is not an
American citizen who dares to advo-
cate the gold standard"
The war of determination which
followed that heroic utterance was the
most gorgeous free amusement enter
tainment ever organized in America
In every town where the show aD-
peared Mr. Bryan rode in the street
Darade and took part in two perform
ances in the big tent every day He

tiEht-rope acts of the daring artists

holders and the owner OF the show
himself performed various antics on
his famous trick mule Democracy,
which alone was considered we'll

The show ended it's season in No

money in bank and hope still strong
