whole however, there fewer in the house that

CONGRESS MAY Be IN
SESSION ANOTHER MONTH
STATE LEVY
FOR ROAD TAX
Governor and Board of Pub
lie Works Will Decide
On Levy.

Charleston, July 19.-The Boarl
of Public Works will hold a meeting
th!s week before Governor GIascock
leaves for the West. and together
they iwll determine whether the one
cent property tax authorized by 'Ae
legislature for me road fuaa viii
be levied.
The one cent direct property tax
was authorized by the lcs,sia
last winter when 81 passed a bin
mading levy, the money rcsultn.
from which Was to go into a STATE
road FUND which would also cou,a.q
the license taxes collected from own
ers OF automobiles and certain sum
from ,hc penitentiary.
by adding one cent to the direct
property tax the direct state tax
would be increased to six cents, agd
while il is ualikely mat there would
be any serious objection from the
taxpayers knowing that such a tax
was going TO be expended for the inn
proyemen- of the roads in the sever
al counties, some OF The State Off
cials do nat take kindly to the prop
osition TO increase the state tax.
IN the law as passed by the legis-
la;ure there is conflict with the
constitution. The organic instru-
ment gives the county courts pow
er to supervise the expenditure Of all
moneys for road purposes while the
bill would place this authority IN the
hands of the commissioners of public
public roads.
At the present time there is little
use for the mon-y Ia the State de-
Dartment Of pullic works. The new
.omcials have comm-rced to ask the
county courts 70. data concerning
the amounts ,rrat ou road improve
ments in 1903 ana for road maps
and the total g., rrber OF miles of road
in each COUNT
Until such information is secured
by the department of public roads,
little money can be expended prop
.e'ly, and the taxes collected from the
one cent properly tax could not be
.apDortioneI among the several coun-
ties unth the state department aad
the proper information upon which
to work.
One plan suggested to the board
.of public works IS 10 reduce the five
cent property tax for school pur-
poses 10 four cents and add the one
cent property Ia xfor road purposes.
making the total direct state tax five
cents as at present This propos

JURISDICTION
OF JUSTICES
Mingo Judge Denies Their
Right to Hear Cases
Under the Johnson Pistol
Toting Law.

Justices OF the peace I'm various
counties of the state have assumed
their jurisdiction TO try cases under
the Johnson pistol toting law passed
al the last session Of the legislature
aad have imposed fines and jail sem
tences In number OF Instances.
Judge l.. A Sampselle, of the
Criminal Court OF Mingo county.
holds that justices have no jurisdic-
ton in cases of this kind.
In instructiug the grand jury at
the beginning OF the present term
of his court Judge sampselle made
especial reference TO the fact that
several Mingo county justices had
violated the Johnson pistol act by
trying cases without jurisdiction.
Lawyers and Judges seem to dis
agree concerning the question Of
jurisdiction with reference to jus
tees, and an opinion Of the attorney
general is being awaited.
