The Tax Laws.
Bennett said in his speech that the
farmers of his countrS-I suppose he
meant his state-are paying more
taxes now than they did under the
old tax laws I would like to 20 be-
fore the people on that one Issue
alone. I say to you that stand as
candidate for your governor fairly
and sQuarely in advocacy of the Re-
publican tav reform laws, because n
believe them to be better than the
o4d system Farmers pay more taxes
now that they did under the old laws
Do you believe that2 Mr.. Bennett
says that you are paying more than
100000 now for support of your
state government. do not see
how Bennett can say that. In 1904,
before the tax reform laws went into
effect the people paid state taxes ON
thir real and personal property In this
state to the amount Of $975,0OO. In
the year 1907 they paid in taxes for
the same property. more than
100000 or about half million dol
lars less. The people OF Harrison
county, or perhaps some up in Lewis
county. may be able to figure OUT
that the farmer Is paying out more
taxes now than he did under the old
laws, but tell you we can't figure 1t
out that way over in donongahela.
If it becomes necessary to revise
the tax laws. I.say the revision should !
be done by its friend and not its en-

the state has grown considerably

1896.
When we turned the state over to
the Democrats the minimum school
term was four months. When we
took the state back from them in
1886 We found the minimum school
term the same. But we said that the
minimum school term should be six
months Instead of four months and
we also paid our school teachers sixty
per cent. more for their work than
the Democrats. and 1 want to say II
there Is anything I do stand Tor ana
with both feet it Is for the FREQ school
system OF West Virginia. We have
taken good care of our boys and girls
and we Will continue to do so.
Bennett says that nearly all of the
state institutions were founded the
Democrats. Where he got that. r
don't know. Ny friends, they estab-
lished only seven-seven out of TWEEN

more money. We founded ten state in

SURYEY0RS'tNlLL REACH
FLORENCE SOMETIME TODAY

The surveyors making the survey
for the electric railroad are expected
to reach Florence some time today.
They were working three miles this
side Of the new farming town Of
Penrose yesterday morning, and were
losing no time with the survey, it
being planned to build the road as
near an air line as possible. On ac-
count of this large amount Of
mouey will required In making
fills In hollow places aud bridging
those which should not be filled ow-
ing to their locations.
It 10 understood that this Is to be
the permanent survey and 1t is re-
ported that 1t would not be very long
until the company has Its plows and
sorapers out making the dirt fly on
the road bed.
Some Of the coal companies oper-
Ating hereabouts are receiving letters
from Promoter A. B. Hulit saying
that he ia anxious to have q meetin &
with them in Pueblo at an early date
to fix rate for hauling coal from
the Fremont county belt to Pueblo.
The present freight ratio on the
steam roads for hauling coal to Pu-
eblo Is 81. .25 ton, bot Hulit says he
proposes hauling 1t on the electric
road for eight cents per ton, which is
= saving Of forty five cents the ton.
Unless the coal dealers in Pueblo hog

will soon be able to burn coal cheap.
or than they hnve for years. as saw
ing Of forty five cents on the ton is
considerable. aud In addition 1t will
allow them to break away from the
grip Of the trust and coal barons.
Hulit does not offer to state In the
letters how long It will be before he
expects to be hauling freight from
this end Of the line, but the letter
to ehe local coal shippers Is an
urgent one.

the plant. but he has overesti mated
the tonnage by several times. aud

THE CANNING RIrsrNEss

The vegetable canning fudustry is
new one in Greeley, and so far too
young to make any sure predictions
as to what it will become. except as
based on the experience of Long
mont, Colo, where the i1austry is
an unqualified success.
Less than a year ago the Empson
Packing company Of T.ongmont
made proposition to the Greeley
Commercial club, whereby this CITY
might secure a great canning plant.
The citizens of Greeley rut mn the
factory building, eQuinBa5 by the
hmpson people, and rented the
building to the packiEg Daople for
ten years, at which time the com
pany IS under contract TO buy the

one thousand acres OF 1aos were
planted the first year, and 200 acres
or tomatoes, and about an eaual
acreage of cabbage. Some evcelient
returns upon the peas wora record
