the city government as ii should in
clarksburg because Wheeling is
three times as large as clarksburg,
we have this situation:
Wheeling IS three times as big as
CIarksburg; Wheeling is now cost
ing $17.54 per capita, while clarks-
burg isscosting but trifie over half
that amount. Three per capitas in
Wheeling stand at s52.62, and as
Ciarksburg is but one-third the size
OF Wheeling the proposition set forth
by the News admits Of but one per

which Is little more than one-sixth of
the cost In Wheeling in proportion,
or in other words. as a matter Of the
sort of LOGIC advanced by the News
the per capita tax here is really but
a little over one-sixth what it is in
Wheeling.

ERE
Per Capita Cost.

The following astounding editorial,
for ignorance and lack of under
standing of the term per capita"
appeared in the Democratic paper:
''The ring is trying to show that
Clarksburg's per capita cost is far
less than that of Wheeling. Be not
deceived. Wheeling's population is
three. times that of Clarksburg, hence
Clarksburg's per capita cost should
only be one-third that of Wheeling's.
The per capita cost OF. the govern
ment OF Wheeling is $17.54. Clarks-
burg being one-third the size of
Wheeling the per capita cost should
be but $3.50. We are now paying
1920 per capita, which proves that
we are paying $685. too much"
Such palpable ignorance is shown
that the Telegram would treat It in
ridicule, If the Democratic sheet had
not assumed to impose on its readers
in such an innocent manner.
That paper says Wheeling is three
times as large as clarksburg, and,
therefore, it ought to take but one
third as much per head to run
Clarksburg as it does wheeling.
Suppose Wheeling has $4,000 per-
pie, then, If Clarksburg is -but one
third as large. our city would have
$4,000. According to the rate quot
ed and the population here given Of
Wheeling the amount required to run
wheeling, IL the per capita in both
cities were the same, would be
three times the whole amount re-
quired TO run Clarksburg. But our
per capita rate is but little over half
of that in Wheeling and thus in the
proportion given, to /, the aggre-
gate cost Of government in Clarks-
burg falls far below that of Wheel
ing in proportion to the size.
Since that paper makes the state

SO solicitous is the Democratic
writer about the welfare of the al
legged ants and what he terms old
line Republicans, that he might con-
fer a favor on the ants as they style
themselves by telling all about Hub

themselves to be consistent in their
pretenses might recall the fact that
Hubbard spent a considerable part
of his life voting against true-blue
Republicans, the same as some Of
them have been doing the last sever
al years.

"A hotel might have three guests
at the rate Of $17.54 a week or a
month, but, If another hotel had but
one guest. the News, according to
its per capita argument in reference
to Wheeling and Clarksburg. to be
consistent, must insist that the hotel
with but one guest should charge that
CUES but $3.50, or just one-third Of
what the other charges each of its
three guests, Such insistence is
silly and the one who springs that
sort of argument on an intelligent
public is to be pitied.

terms. Senator Hazlett is popular

GlarIssburg's Republican Government.
When comparisons are made with
other cities of its class in the state,
clarksburg makes a splendid show
ing in its municipal government as
has been exemplified with official fig
ures by the Telegram from time to
time. At a far less per capita cost
this city has been provided with a
progressive and able city govern
ment that has given all of the neces-
sary protection and advantages of
other cities of its class In the state
and in spite OF the big start and more
years Of increased revenue that other
cities of the same size and import
ance have had, this city stands in the
lead as having accomplished more
with less means in shorter time.
While Clarksburg is now in the
class of such cities as Parkersburg,
Huntington, Charleston and Fair
mont as to size and Importance, 1t
has not been in that class as long as
those cities themselves, 1t is only
within the last decade that Clarks-
burg has expanded from a town to
city. Yet the progress made in
that comparatively short time has
been remarkable. And in keeping
with that growth and progress the
city's municipal government. with
perhaps the exception Of an unfortu-
nate mayoralty term when regret
table cessation of Improvements took
place, has kept abreast of the times
and conditions.
In this brief span of years. with the
single exception noted, Clarksburg
has accomplished a great deal with
its progressive city government. Miles
of paved streets, paid for by the city,
have been laid; fire department has
been established, city crematory
built, miles of sewer pipes aud curb
ing have been laid, water mains and
pipes have been extended to thou
sands of new houses, new streets
have been opened and graded, addi-
.tional lights provided and paid for,
miles of slewalks, paid for by the
city, bave been constructed; the
methods of transacting the clty's
business have been improved and
systematized so that all accounts are
in shape at all times for public in
spection, bonded Indebtedness of
former years has been promptly liq-
Undated. necessary and up-to-date
laws have been enacted and the city's
affairs generally have been conduct
ed in prompt and business-llke man.
ner. From town to city in its
government as well as in Its mater
ial expansion has this community
been made. All this and much more
which is not necessary here to epum-
crate has been accomplished within
few short years at less cost than
other cities of Clarksburg's class.
During that time of progress and
prosperity the Republican party has
been entrusted with the responsibility
of placing men in charge OF city Of

All that the Democratic clique can
say against the Republican nominee
for mayor is that he has accepted the
nomination given him by the Repub-

his party but from the clique who
slated the ticket in star-chamber
meeting, as usual.
