Would Mean Cheap Labor.

President Jesse Peterson of the
United Indurated Fibre Company of
LoclSport, writes:
I'VE have had important expe-
rience with this matter with Norway,
Sweden and Belgium. The problem
of having plants for the manufacture
of our ware in each of these countries
has been discussed, and it was stated
that labor such as we employ here at
from $1O.5O to $12 per week could
be gotten in Christiana. Norway and
Client. Belgium, at $500 per week,
and 1t was declared by both of the
firms with whom we discussed the
matter of wages would be a profit
that would Justify their investment.
and If the tarin should be taken from
commodities such as ours they could
must be a knowing man. He says. Il
America and a good profit realized,
and it would compel us to reduce the
prices we pay our labor so as to meet
the cheap labor of Europe, or it
would be impossible for us to main
tain our business. -

Less wages; Fewer Comforts.

Oliver Bros. Company. of Bockport,
say that thought their concern is COM
ipeting In the sale of brass beds in for
eign countries under present condi-
tions, ''in an indirect way we all de-
pend upon each other and need pro-
lection. We need 1t for the other fell
low whose article is protected and
who is our customer. We surely
cannot expect him who is today earn
ing SO per day to be able to purchase
of our goods the same amount, when
he is working for competitive wages
of $1.25 per day, and he certainly
must do SO If his protection is taken
from him
give the wage Garner the proper
remuneration for his only asset, lab
or. and he will make the country
prosperous by his ability to buy that
which like workmen in other coun-
tries cannot afford. Protect him
through the manufacturer. As so
many people view 1t in the wrong
light. 1t is the laborer who needs pro-
lection. not the manufacturer. He
needs the work. and the only way he
can have it in many lines of manu-
facture is by having his labor pro-
ected by duties

knitting Their own Ticket.

Cut and clash is the motto of a
Democratic candidate or two for Of
fee. The word has evidently been
passed around among the gangsters
to do some knitting and the majority
of the Democratic ticket is to suffer
for favorite or two of the gang.
Read what one candidate has on his
campaign chrome cards:
eff am not on the ticket YOU vote,
and you want to vote for me. be sure
to put the X mark in front of my
name"
1t was known from the opening of
the campaign that the gangsters were
not satisfied with the Democratic
county ticket as whole, there being
men on it not subservient to their
bidding they believed, and now it is
proved beyond question. Wonder
how the friends of the other Demo-
cratic candidates like it.

from the records of the Department
81 l9abpF, Of the advance made IN the
establ ishment OF industries under ten
years Of Republican administration IN
West Virginia from March 7, 1897
TO December 81. 1907. a Few inn
portant interests are selected frem
among a total of 2 JOB inaugurated
during that memorable period.
T1ie dFst is coal and coke. In the
ten years 1913 new Industries were
established, adding 33,051 new en-
p1oyess whose yearly payroll amount
ed to $14,89s.15 and which involved
an investment OF $67, 1866 OF cap
ftal. Next comes oil and gas with
I65 new industries opened. giving
out yearly payroll amounting to
$739,534 and which required the in
vestment of $10,2S9,705 of capital.
In transportation lines So new enter
prises were inaugnrated. increasing
the number of employees 1876 and in
vOlving a yearly payroll of $901.S60
with invested capital amounting to
$1Os467,55O.
This was an enormous increase 90
the wealth of the state. and the Re
publican party while recognizing the
rights and protection due all invest
ed capital in the state saw the in
CAPABILITIES in the distribution of the
burdens of taxation, and set about to
correct the injustice. The Iaboring
man, the artisan, the small home
owner had been paying more than
their share of taxation, and the Re
publican law-makfng bodies passed
laws that have made the burden to-
day more uniform and equal than
they were heretofore. In the taxa
tton of these leasehoIds for oil, coal
or gas, the assessment was raised to
$5O,OOO,OO0. This property was
never taxed before or paid cent OF
tax. The public utilities, which in
cluded all transportation lines, were
assessed in 1904 at $27S, 900, 900
This year they are required to pay
taxes on total valuation of property
amounting to $930.OO0,0OO. This
enabled the Republican party to re-
duce the tax rate for state purposes
from IS cents on the 500 valuation
to five cents. So 1t will be seen that
the small property holder has bene-
flied, and those OF the Industrial
class owning homes have had their
taxes reduced through the fair and
just increase on those interests that
never before paid their share of taxa
ton. Where, in these instances, can
the industriar class of this state do
anything but give the Republican
party credit for its ameliorating poll
cies?

1855 returned delinqnent. showing
S218, 65O actually SOLICITED that year.
IN 1906, 236.709 capitations were
assessed and 27.264 returned delin-
quent, thus making the actual collec-
lions for 900. S215s445.
In 1907, gS2 1929 OF capItatfons
was collected by the assessors. and
5Os233 turned over to the sherins
for collection. OF this delinquency
at least 20 per cent. has been col=
lected, bringing the total for 1907 up
to 1927. $50. Comparing these au-
then1icated figures with the imagin-
AIRY ones published in the Charleston
Gazette, the Justification ON the part
Of that paepr can readily be seen.

West virginia industry.

While some misguided labor advo-
Gates of the Democratic party in this
state are trying to fool their brothers
in toll, will the rank and file of the
great industrial class in West Vir-
ginia accept their abominabIy incor-
rect statements as the truth in the
face of the facts and conditions that
prevail today? We believe not; for
the average workingman of this day
and generation is too Intelligent to
be misled by demagogic appeals and
the distorted views of those persons
inimical alike to the free institutions
OF this country, and who are ungrate-
fully attempting to destroy the house
that gave them refuge from oppres-
sion and sanctuary of home, things
that they never enjoyed before.

trial class have never Jared so we'll

Capitation Taxes.

/ Never has there been a campaign
in this state in which there has been
such vicious misrepresentation OF
the facts on the part of Democratic
speakers and the Democratic press.
Some of the falsifications of the truth
! have been so Silly that they required
no refutation, simply falling to
pieces on account of their hamilton.
Sometimes, however. a paper or
speaker with a cupidity born of long
Democratic training is calculated to
! impose ON the people. Nothing that
has yet come from the Charleston
Gazette, a rabid prevarfcator, equals
its editorial utterances last week un-
der the head of Tax Reform in
which 1t seeks to twist the facts and
figures and throw discredit on the
new Republican method of collecting
the capitations. In its wholly mis-
leading references to this law the
Gazette says:
THE inducement held out for this
fundamental change was that many
people had been escaping the pay
plan promised an increase of revenue
under this head The lameness of
the law was pointed out during the
Cornwe1l canvass Let us see how
the new plan has worked. In 1904.
the last year under the old plan,
there was collected $234,0OO in
capitations. The first year after the
new law went into force the coHec-
tions were $235,OOO. Considering
the increase in the population for one
year, it can be seen that the new law
produced about the game as the old
law, certainly no more. There were
at least "a thousand more capitations
to be collected in the year of 1906
than in 1904. In 1906 the collec-
tions were $2OS,OOO. showing that,
the assessors were getting on to their
jobs, and had either held out $27, OOOI
or whereabouts of money, or else had
gotten careless, as has been predicted
by the Democrats. In 1907 the col
lections were $164,OOO, a loss to the
state by the new system of $4,000,
not counting the increase in popula-
ton. This shows that the assessors
had gotten wise to the possibilities of
the miserable scheme to put colIect-l
ors in the field to gather in the
states money with no check what
ever upon them"
Now the true statement of affairs
puts an entirely different complexion

misleading character OF the asser-

there were 231,791 capitations as
sessed. and 6S,4s4 were returned de-
linquent. so that $16S,3O7 was all
that was collected that year.
In 1905, under the new law pass

In 1904 the total assessed value of
all property in this state was. in
round numbers. $27S,OOO,0OO. In
that year the public service corpora
tions were assessed at $4,000. 900.
Now the total assessed value of all

pay taxes on $3.50. 100000 of prop

enough taxes and the public service
