Louis Bennett calls it Fake Tax
Reform And that is no doubt what
he truthfuIly thinks It Is. It In
creased his taxes all right, as it did
many another rich and aristocratic
taxdodgeF. (. But It reduced and
equalized the taxes of the small prop
erty owners and they know that when
Louis Bennett calls It Fake Tax Re
form he Is falsifying and misrepre-
senting. The taxdodgers of the Ben
nett stripe and the taxdodging cor
porations may decry the new tax sys-
TEN with an their might night and
day, but the people OF the State know
that it has been boon to them; 1t
has saved them from carrying the
burden of taxation as they did before
the Republican party Installed the
new tax system.
If there is one accomplishment
above all others that the Republican
party is proud of it is the new tax
system. And Louis BENEFITS con-
spIracy with taxdodging corporations
to overthrow it. will meet up with a
severe rebuke at the polls. The new
tax laws have proved their own case
by actual trial. and they are here to
stay.

Bennett and Poor People.


Even out in the suburbs of my
home town the riffraff of the popula-
ton are in favor of my candidacy
and they have pictures of Louis Ben
nett placed upon poles along the
way"
That Is the way Louis Bennett re-
ferred to the poor people who live
in the districts along the West
Fork. They will probably appreciate
this afectionate reference by this
feudal lord and master. 1t will re-
call to their minds other acts of
Christian kindness which have so en-
deared him to them, and summon up
memories of philanthropies bestowed
by this warm and generous hand in
their midst"
Louis Bennett is an aristocrat of
the aristocrats. He is not of the
common people and is in hearty SYM
pathy with the memorable sentiment
uttered by the elder Vanderbilt in
reference to the common people. His
life proves It, His hard-hsted deal
ings with his tenants on his lordly
estates; his countless ejectment suits
against poor people; his usurous
treatment of widows and orphans
whom an unkind fate forced under his
domlnation-are calculated, indeed,

A Nut to Crack.

Here is tax reform nut for Louis
Bennett and those of his party who
are opposed to the Republican meas
ures to crack. In 1904 under the
old system of taxation, when the tax
rate for state purposes was 80 cents
on the 500 there was paid into the
state treasury on real and personal
property $975,9O4. In 1907 under
the new laws, with the rate reduced
from S5 to cents on the 500 val
uation, $464,97O, or over half a mil
lion dollars less than under the
working of the old laws.
Where were these differences made
up. and who were the beneficiaries?
The small amount paid in on real
and personal property resulted in the
1eveling of all values. and the small
property owner derived the benefits.
The difference was made up in taxing
interests that heretofore had not
been paying their share of the bur-
dens, and some interests that had
paid no taxes at all. 1t is the small
property and home owner and the
farmers of West Virginia who have
profited most under the tax reform
laws. and they are going to see to it
that they remain on the statute
books, in spite of the menace of
Bennett Democracy.

Progressive Government.

The workman wants progressive
government which will understand
and protect his interests. 1t is adj
mitted that the Roosevelt admins
tratlon has done more to protect the
interests of labor than any other
since the Civil war. The President
says that Mr.. Taft is one of the best
friends of honest labor and has help
ed the President in executing the
eight-hour law. in raising the wages
of American workmen at Panama
and in promoting other interests of
organized labor. Is not President
Roosevelt's opinion entitled to
weight? Think it over before you
vote
The issues of the national cam
paign which particularly affect labor
are these:
1. Good times and general employ
ment at good wages.
q The protection of wage earners
from reduction of wages.
3. The continuance of progress
sive government at the national cap
ital which will recognize the rights
and interests of labor in legislation
and administration.

Bennett Is Cllallenged.

Louis Bennett charges the Repub-
lican party with extravaganza. VIII
liam e. Glasscocls challenges Bennett
to prove it. But Bennett has not
proved 1t because he can not.
There is only one specific item that
Bennett bases his charge on, and that
is that state senators and members
of the house of delegates employed
more attaches during sessions of the
legislature than were necessary. That
is true. Glasscock admits it, and the
Republican party admits it. That
offense is not chargeable to one par
ty. but to both senators and delegates
of both parties. 1t is a species OF
political patronage distribution in
which represen tatives of both parties
indulge Senators and delegates
have it within their power to do this
thing If they want to do It, And
they have done it for years.
But insofar as the State admin
istration Is concerned, when senators
and delegates overstepped their pre-
negatives, and afforded Governor
Dawson an opportunity to step in, he
promptly did So He used his veto,
as Governor White used it in the
Isame circumstances in his admins
tration.
That is the basis of Louis Benefits
silly charge of extravaganza. He
can not name another instance.
Glasscock in every speech challenges
him to do so.
The Republican party has render
ed an account of its stewardship. 1t
points with pride to a clean and
honorable record of splendid achieve
men. Its administrations have been
business. like. progressive and abreast
of the marvellous growth and develop
ment of the state. 1t has nothing to
apologize for or evade. 1t is proud
of its record and feels assured that
the people at the polls next month
will approve it by an overwhelming
vote.

The Wheeling Register has finally
and at last, tackled the tax question.
Compare yNlr tax ticket" 1t cries,
which is the same old stereotyped cry
1t printed in previous campaigns.
One would think that the Register
had had enough" on this. question.
since it has been soundly rebuked in
its position heretofore, and the new
tax laws have by actual test of three
years proven a success. The Register
cannot hope to do any good for its
battered old party by attacking the
tax laws. The people of its own city
and county reaped rich benefits when
they were enacted. So. the Regis
ter's position at home is over
whelmingly discredited. and it is
hardly to expect that it can accomp-
lish much abroad. The tax laws are
here to stay. The voters of West
Virginia will not vote to give Louis
Bennett. John McGraw and George
Neal a chance to wipe them off the
statute books.

That was clever turn of the tables
when Mr.. Glasscock in his Mounds
VILE speech, denying that he was any
mans candidate for governor, pointed
to Louis Bennett and charged that he
was the candidate OF John T. Nc
Graw, boss of West Virginia Democ-
racy, and George l. Neal, vice-boss
OF Democracy He asked his hearers
if they wanted to fasten McGrawism
on the State, and the noes" that
came from the big audience showed
that they at least did not care to.
