Mr.. George G. Baker, who is
one of the prominent attorneys of
Morgantown, fought desperately,
but valiantly, to assist Bill Daw-
son to make his fake tax laws
popular with the taxpayers. He
contributed many columns to the
public press in praise of the tax
laws, and while he was thus en-
gagged the Journal had not tile
command oflanguage to portray
Baker as one of the first apostles
OF "tax reform" AS far as its
vocabulary would permit it Topped
over in eulogizing George c..
Baker as the "true friend of the
people" Now, forsooth, because
Baker cannot swallow Bill Daw-
sons candidate for governor, one

Many reasons have been assigned
for tie doubling Of this tax, but
The most plausible one given is
that the court could not lay a

a fair sample ofhow the Dawson

No doubt many have observed
that the Journal Is not quoting
the Greenbrier Independent and
the Shepherdstown Register on the
beauties Of the Dawson tax laws.
1t Is a safe inference that the tax
payers Of the good old counties of
Greenbrier and Jefferson have
gotten possession Of their tax re-
ceiPts which disclosed an IN
pleasant increase in the tax re-.
ceipt over 1906. Under such
painful conditions the Journal is
wise in chewing polk root.

Taxpayers of Preston county,
remember this solemn fact, that
the object of Bill Dawson in call
ing an extra session of the legis-

which he hoped the people
would quarrel over IN order to

scheme but it won't work this

vote Bill and his gang out of
