QUESTION OF SHERFFs COHalSlOlNS

Parkersburg, W. Va, Aug. go
The initial steps in a proceeding
which may in the end mean thOus-
ands of dollars to the State ofWe. t
Virginia was instituted here yester-
day when State Tax commistioner
Townsend fled exceptions 10 the
settlement between the county court
of Wood county and ex-SheriF W.
Il. Carter. The Court allowed Car
fer five per cent, commission on all
taxes collected during the discount
period previous to the time when
the new acts of 1908 went into
effect and the State contends that he
should have been allowed but two
and hall per cent. The difference
amounts to about sls, 900.
The case will undoubtedly be ap-
pealed to the Circuit Court and then
go on to the Supreme Court for a
final Interpretation of this section of
the tax law. If Carter loses in this
county it would naturally follow that
the State will take the same pro-
ceeding in all of the other counties
of the State where similar settle.
ments were made by the county
courts, which would cause the ex-
sherifs to relinqu;sh thousands of
dollars they had received in commits
sions.

WHICH ARE YoU7

1t has been an uneven struggle
since time immemorial between the
money power and the wage-earner.
While the nonproducer-the money
power-has accumulated a colossal
fortune the producer-the wage
earnef-has been at his wits end to
exc out a living. Drawn and muscle
are the producers of all wealth.
Without the billions of honest toilers
throughout the world there would be
no millionaires. While the nonpro-
Queer reyels in luxury and the choi-
cest wines the wage-earner frequent
ly goes to bed hungry. Still, it
is his Drawn and muscle that
makes it possible forthe nonproducer
to feast on the fat of the land.
You may ask, how is this to be
remedieds We must admit that we
are not philosopher enough to an
swer. But this much we do know,
in which We think most sensible
people will agree, that we can i'm
prove the condition of the wage
Garner by placing men in public of
fee who are known to be in sympa-
thy with him; men who Will enact
laws which will be beneficial to the
laboring classes. And when we say
''laboring class we mean every one
who has to toll for living. Elect
men to Office who will not be build
ing up political rings and machines to
perpetuate themselves in Office for
life. Yes, elect men to Office who
will give the people an honest and
economical administration. When
VIC can elect such men it will not be
necessary to inquire about their re-
ligion and politics. We will be sat
isfed to know that they are capable
and honest.
The action of the extra session of
congress is enough to convince any
fair-minded man that the majority of
the members are the cringips Great
ures of the trusts. The people can
expect no relief as long as 'they re-
main in Office. But such tools of cor
porate wealth cannot be defeated SO
long as wevote for the party
The question for each one to de-
eide for himself is this: Which class
do you belong to, the non-producing
or the producing: 1t should not be
hard to decide. When you bave de-
cided it satisfactorily to yourself you
should be governed accordingly. If
you are even blind you can feel and
tell which side of your bread is but
tered.
When you are implored to stand
by the party give this moments
eOnsideration.-West Virginia Argus.
