FEBRUARY FORECAST.
Weather for Month viii BE similar ia
January Brand.

Peter X. Smith predicts the weather
for February as follows:
The kind of weather that will prevail
in February will be much the same as
was experienced in January except a. the
close of the month is ncarcd when a
come as a surprise.
February will open with rising tenn
pcraturc in the west, which later will
spread north and over the central valleys
into eastern sections.
On or touching the Sd or 4th storm
conditions will be developed and on
transit passing east. The storm waves of
this period will reach their climax about
the 9TH or 9th. The storms of this period
will not reach more than a moderate de.
gree of intensity which on the 9TH will
develop rain, wind, and later snow
flurries. In northern sections the wave
will be much intensified, assuming the
proportions Of blizzard.
All sections generally will be reached
by the cold wave that will follow on
the 9TH.
\ reaction of weather conditions to
much warmer will materalizc on the sth
or 9th, attended by storm areas forming
and passing east about the 9th or 10th,
developing light showers of rain, which
will end in snow with much colder
weather on the llth.
The 18th, 18TH, and 10th will be the
centers of disturbed sections as the wave
on its passage moves to the eastern cx-
trcme of the country. Rain and snow
will prevail along the passage OF the
wave in limited quantities and the tenn
pcrature will change to much colder as
the wave passes on east.
change TO warmer will show up on
the 18th, and rain on the Goth, DIST, and
22d will visit most sections of the coun-
try. On the western hanks OF the wave
snow hurrics will materalize and cold
wave will follow the heels of the storm.
storm period will be central on the
26th, 9th, and 2Sth i'm the central, north
ern, and eastern sections, which will pass
over to March, followed by cold wave.
At the opening OF this period warm
wave will spread over all parts Of the
country.
On the 18th and 10Th the meteorology
will be charged with clouds and moisture.
attended with rain, slect, and snow in
northern, also in most of the central val
leys and ia eastern parts. The wires for
commercial purposes will have serious
time with the slcct wizard, who will be
sure to triumph throughout the north
and also in many other parts

They Miss Montgomery.

The editor of the Grafton Re
publican, who was fortunate in
drawing a piece Of pie, in writing
to his paper has the following to
say about Senator 5. b. Mont
gomery:
There is considerably more re-
greet over the absence of Senator
Montgomery at the present SEES
sion than there is over the alb
sence of Gen. Goodweather, who
hasn't been here in coon's age.
Many Of the senators say: How
we do miss Senator Montgomervr"
Officials and attaches i'm and
about the statehouse remark. sIf
Senator Montgomery were here
now everything would be lovely"
Senator Sam certainly stood well
with state officials, and that he is
exceedingly popular with the good
people Of Charleston is evidenced
by the inquiries made about his
present position with the govern
ment and the regret expressed at
his absence.

West Virginia argus. [volume] (Kingwood, W. Va.) 1877-1946, 1909-01-28

Gov. Dawson deals at least hon
estly for once with the tax ques-
ton. In his annual message when
he advises the drag net to be again
pulled to bring in more subjects
of taxation he places the recon-
mendation upon the ground that
the state must have more revenue
more money than the present
tax system will provide. Hereto
fore the tax thinkers have strcnu-
ously denied that this was the
prime motive behind the tax
reform.
In his message the governor
has created an Ananias club of
his own. He assigns all who have
suspected and charged IA deficit in
the states revenues to member
ship in it, His figures are clcv-
erly stated to show that the deficit
only amounts to about S12, 900 for
ordinary expenses" during the
biennial period applicable to the
payment of such expenses. This
statement is all right if there are
no outstanding obligations yet to
he met not included i'm lists of
expenditures That the governor
expected any one to be convinced
10y statement of monthly treas
ury balances that the revenues
were equal to expenditures would
be rs foolish rs to conclude that
because business man had n
thousand dollars in bank OIL any
one day that it was absolute proof
that he was solvent when he
might owe ten times as much as
he had in bank or was able to
pay If the governor and his add
ministration have been uniustly
accused in this matter it is large
ly because of the insuiliciency of
published statements and because
of its known methods of Juggling
with figures in its treatment of
the revenues and subjects of taxa
tion.-Fairmont Times.
The Juggling of the figures was
for the purpose of deceiving the
people until after the election.
THE ARGUS called attention to
the deficit more than once To
disprove this the organs of the
administration would publish a
statement of monthly treasury
balances and claim there was a
surplus in the treasury To the
uninitiated this looked good. Now
that the time has come when the
governor can no longer conceal
the deficit he reluctantly admits
it. He kept up the bluff long
time, but was finally forced to
show his hand.
