State Board of Control,

The claim is made for the act of the
legislature creating the board Of con,
troll, which is to have charge of state
institutions that it will save the tax
PAYERS 1926, 900 year. 1t is devoutly
to be wished that the saving will prove
to have been not overstated, but as the
estimate is largely conjeciual it will
hardly be disputed that the value of
this act as a measure of economy will
largely depend upon the character of
the men chosen for the board The
salaries and legitimate expenses of the
members will amount to sum much
smaller than the aggregate per diem
and mileage of the separate boards I'M
der present laws, but if there is corr
ruption, neglect or incompetence on
the part Of members of the board of
control 1t will be easy TO defeat the
primary object of the act economy.
Governor-elect Glasscock will no
doubt realize that through no official
act during the early part Of his adj
ministration will it be possible for him
to gain the confidence of taxpayers to
a greater degree, than by looking to
character and fitness, rather than par
ceiling out these important positions
as reward for party service.

In this issue we publish the last
chapter Of the proceedings Of the AL
word investigating committee appoint
ed by the State Senate to investigate
the charge made by Mr.. Alverd, Su-
p.rintendent of the state Anti-Saloon
league, that the liquor interests spent
large sum Of money last year to defea:
the SUBMISSION of the prohibition
amendment to vote of the people.
This ne after sent out in pamphlet form
has been published In full in cur col
umns and the Statesman Democrat is
the only newspaper in the state, so far
as we have observed, which has pub
Hshed this matter in full. We have
published il that the people may know
something of the way in which mat
tiers move in our state legislature and
it has been an astounding revelation.
That there were votes bought there
cannot be entertained In any unbiased
mind shadow of N.oubt, but the mat
ter as not pushed far enough 10 I'M
cover the guilty fellows. This In
vestigation shows that not only were
votes bought for the defeat Of the
amendment but that there were others
who wanted to be bought sus were
turned away empty because their votes
were not needed.
This is a most shameful state of af-
fairs. There is hardly another state in
the Union, unless it be Pennsy lvania,
so cursed as West Va, and the most
sham full part of the whole business is
that there is so little said about it.
Public conscience seems TO be asleep
and even the press of the state, with
but few exceptions, has let the matter
pass without criticism, or the feeblest
fert to arouse the public conscience.
Where is this state of affairs, this cor
ruptien and bribery, to end and where
will it lead?
There was time and 1t is still the
case In many sections, when and
where men stood or stand of their
homer and charge Of this character,
or even hint of it, would arousesmen
to such pitch that they would resent
it by physical force or lead to call to
the field OF honor, but not SO in West
Virginia at this time.
IT seems that bribery and corruption
have run so high in our elections that
political positions are Regarded by
many people as license to commit
crime and to despoil the people with
impunity.

The two u iited States Senators
from this state, Messrs. Scott and El-
kins have declared themselves against
the tariff bill now before Congress
because there are some features in II
which will reduce tatifi on articles
produced by w. Va, such as ceal and
lumber. These gentlemen prefer put
thug tax on the necessaries CT lie
thus making it harder for the poor peo-
pie to live than to reduce the profits to
the coal and lumber trusts. In other

The tariff question Is an old one. 1t
has been agitsted year after year for
generations. 1t has been discussed 90
often by the leading men of the couD-

vocates of both sides would leng ago

the question, but not 80, at least 30 far
az our republican friends are concern
ed. The democratic position has been
held steadfastly "tariff Is tax
and the consumer pays it-' On the
other hand the republicans have been
shifting lcontinually. Some years ago
they admitted 1t to be a tax but con-
tended that the foreigner paid it. Later
they aband oned that foolish notion
and said it was for the benefit of the
workingmen and now about the only
excuse is that it promotes prosperity

There is much being said these days
about Congress passing an income

from people who denounced ar income
tax when 1t was passed by demo-
