We want to record an honest opin-
ion Of Hon. VIM. NJ. o. Dawson, who
has just retired from the high Office of
Governor of West Virginia. Our
State has never had better Governor
he has been fearless and wise, hon.
est and level.headed. During his adj
ministration our tax system has been
entirely changed, and the railroads
and other railroad corporations made
to bear their fair proportion of taxa
ton. If additional laws that he
urged had been enacted, as they should
have been, instead of being defeated by
venal Legislatures, we would by this
time have well-nigh perfect system
Of taxation. During his term of Of
fee our State institutions have been
well managed, and he held the off,
Gals, so far as he was able. to Q strict
performance of duty. he himself
has had an exalted regard for his po-
sition, and We believe has been entire.
ly conscientious and courageous in
eischarging his obligations to the peo-
pie.
The State is today vastly better of
than it has ever been before, and he
must be credited with wise and Ca
pabls administration. We wish him
good fortune in his future work.

only to be stuffed or defeated in the
Senate. The House was in earnest
and honestly endeavored to give the
people bene6cent laws. The Senate,
obedient to the corporations, and es-
pecially to the whiskey corruptionists,
boldly and de6antly killed moral
measures and defeated bills that
helped the people or that would have
put our State affairs on a higher plane.
Honest, patriotic men, who IRE not
controlled by the brewers and distil-
lers and who are not the servile tools
of the corporations. must be elected
to the Senate. And We must begin
right here at home

SzrpzEapsrows voted "dry" on
Saturday Last. This is something OF
an answer to Senator Silyer's conten-
ton that he represented the views Of
his constituents when he helped to
kill temperance measures.
Shepherdstown register. [volume] (Shepherdstown, Va. [W. Va.]) 1849-1955, 1909-03-11

WE understand that Messrs. Silver
and McIntire are still trying to MAKE
the people believe that they repre-
sented the views OF their constituents
when they helped to kill temperance
legislation. They are wrong. They
didn't vote that way because they
wanted to carry out the wishes OF
the voters.
1t is true that they heard their
masters voice. But it wasn't the
voice of the people.

THERE is a good deal of discussion
of an idea suggested at the recent ses-
sion of the Legislature, namely, that
each county in the State shall have a
member of the State Senate, instead
of parceling them out by districts.
We heartily favor the proposition.
Why should Jefferson and Hampshire
counties be afflicted with Senators
from Berkeley and Morgan countiss-
especially such Senators as at present
misrepresent the people?

Wake Tax List Shows Increase.

The Register of DEEDS of Wake
County has made his report to the
Board of County Commissioners and
has made a comparison Of figures for
last year and the present year.
The increase in the valuation of
property since last year is shown to
be $1,290,412, which means that the
sheriff will collect $66,77O.03 more
for taxes this year than last year.
The tax books show the total value
of property in the county to be $21,-
321,37S as against S2O,03O,96S for
1908, the increase in taxable prop
erty being $1,290,412. Of this gain
Raleigh township only adds $19,919,
while chief among the other town
ships are increases of $133,241 from
Marks Greek, s1O3,571 from Wake
Forest, S85,035 from Little River,
and S76,24S from White Oak Town
ship. Only two townships showed a
decrease, Cary of $2,709 and Oak
Grove of s2,417. 1t will be noted
that Marks Greek Township shows
the greatest increase.
