lBy oharIea BfooI.s smlnN

CHARLESTON, Feb. .=-l-The
house committee on Judiciary this
morning reported bill TO tax gross
earnings, of companies or persons
engaged in the production of coal,
oil ami gas with the recommendation
that it do pass. This decision was
arrived al by the committee at a
meeting held Saturday.
The proposition is embodied in
four bills, three separate bills deal
ing with coal, oil and gas singly. and
a fourth bin. a sort of an omnibus
bill, in which the three products are
collectively considered.
Theses are the Administrations
bills-those it holds chief in i'm
portance and behind them the admin
istration will put all the machinery
and power ut lis command. They
are the money getting measures Of
the administration for this session,
and, We are assured by an authorized
spokesman of the administration
that Should these bills become laws,
they will bring into the state treas.
ury a very large sum of money and
place the government on easy
street. so TO speak, for some years
to come. Indeed. this official de-
clared that should these bills be-
come laws, they would settle THE
question OF revenue for West Vir-
ginia for twenty-five years to come. "
At the same time he stated that All
accurate estimate OF the sum to be
derived by these laws could not be
made because there were nos stats.
tics at hand giving the gross. earn
ings of coal, oil and gas companies,
yet ii was safe to estimate than an
income OF from 100000 to ST..
100000 would accrue from these
three subjects of taxation should the
Legislature take favorable action.
While this statement is not alto,
ge,her clear and logical. ii is never.
! theless Interesting.
Ii is proposed by these bills Il
levy license tax on the gross re.
ceipts as follows: one per centun
on the business resulting from min.
ing coal; one and one-half on oil
and, two. on natural gas.

1T may surprise you to learn

Orders have been taken by the New

for a large quantity of lumber to be

sible. and as a result the big mills
at Redwood are working men day

sual that a lumber plant away over
here in West Virginia should supply
lumber for such distant point as
Italy asd Sicily, and asked a repre-
sentative of the lumber company
about it. Hetold me that West vir-
ginia was the best place to obtain
quickly a large supply OF lumber
for building purposes. =
