The Clarksburg telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1874-1926, 1909-05-20

The Charleston newspapers are
busy these days trying to convince
the city council that there is no man
SO big and no interest so great as
would challenge the right OF the
people of that city to govern them
selves. The council did not think
that way about it. when 1t voted the
saloons out. But 1T may change its
mind after a little more newspaper
philosophy.

Eliminate Gambling Evil.
Appealing to the city council Of
Charleston to return to. sanity in the
matter Of saloon licenses, the
Charleston Mail emphasizes points
that have been brought out frequent
" ins other sections Of the state, as
well as at Charleston. or these is
the demand that gambling and other
vices shall not be attached to or
run in connection with saloons, or
rather that saioonists shall eliminate
the vices named.
The Mail further shows the injus.
tice Of the suddenness with which
the city council has undertaken to-
confiscate mems business. The Mail
comments as follows:
The loss Of approximately forty
five thousand dollars in revenue BY
the refusal to grant license to the
saloons is the smallest consideration
in the proposition to confiscate the
property Of some fifty or more OF. our
citizens who have been engaged in al
.legaiized business. In one month I'll
Is proposed to empty the places OF
business Of fifty or more firms,
firms that have been engaged In
business. the pursuit Of which they
had no intlmation would be inter
fered with. There was no local OPP
tion issue involved in the election
which created the present board
of affairs and city council. There
was no demand for the elimination Of
the saloon in Charleston. 1t is true,
there was q righteous and insistent
demand for the repression OF nm
abuse that had been allowed to-
creep into the relationship of some
of the saloons. viz: the gambling
evil, but that could have been
handled successfully and eliminated,
by honest effort on the part of the
city administration, with the help
that was vouchsafed by the county
officials.
THE city council and the board of
affairs could have signalized their
entry into municipal power by the,
enactment OF. a license ordinance
that would have provided more Wig
orous regulation of the liquor traf-
tic and yet not to the extent of con-
fiscating the property of men en-
gagged in legitimate business, legal
lied by the state and permitted I'M
der express authority.
"There is time yet to do this.
"1f the board of AFFAIRS will get to
work, provide an ordinance laying a
proper license upon tho business,
and provide regulations which will
secure forever the elimination OF the
gambling, as well as some other
pressing evils. in connection with the
saloon business and send 1t along to
the council body, We feel assured
that that body will meet the occasion
in proper spirit, and we will not be
confronted with a situation little
short of disgusting to the general
public"
A few months ago since the saloon
keepers of Clarksburg expressed
their intention in an emphatic way
to keep gambling out Of their places
of business and they have been in-
sistent upon the remaining few do-
ing likewise. They are as much
gratifed as any one over the de-
termination of the city authorities
to break up gambling and the way Is
easy. Vigilance. diligence and exc
cution are all that is needed for the
purpose.

improvements.

Officials OF the various public service
corpors tons In Omaha resent the proposed
ordinanc. IS of the city council TO compel
the cs..ectlon of a 3 per cent occupation
tax proposed in the ordinances introduced
in the council and declare that the city
cannot be built up by tearing down the
factors which have a large share in the
growth of the municipality.
Three of the comprehensive Independent
telephone, the gas and the electric light
are now paying small royalties into the
treasury OF the city and therefore they do
not object as strenuously as some of the
others. q
IF The policy OF the city is to be the tax
ing of our company and other public SER
vice corporations to death it is certainly
a big mistake said Frank 7. Hamilton,
president. Of the Omaha Gas company, when
asked as TO hts opinien of the ordinance

william C. Billiard, vice-president OF the
Independent Telephone company had not
Omaha daily bee., 1909-01-21

read the morning papers and knew nothing
Of the proposed ordinances until asked for
an opinion. When shown the ordinance he
declared that he believed his company was
paying a large enough tax-2 per cent on
It's gross earnings-and that 1t should not
be compelled to pay more. Mr.. Billiard,
however, chuckled at the thought that his
rival telephone company and the other cor
porations might be compelled to pay a tax,
which they arc not now required TO do.
I'll Postal Telegraph company is not
a public service corporation, the city has
no hold on 1t, as 1t is a national affair
and does an interstate business, and
therefore the council should not contem-
plate the collection OF an occupation tax,
were the remarks of r. +. Williams, local
manager OF that company. He further
said that his company is paying a large
property tax into the city treasury and ex-
cessive taxation should not be imposed.
w. w. Umsted, resident manager of the
Western Union Telegraph company, de-
cllned to express an opionion, but pre-
sented the theory that the city should not
attempt to collect a tax for the occupancy
of its streets for the reason that its wires
are under ground and do not interfere In

Characterizing the action Of the council
in passing the first two readings of the
ordinance affecting his company as Tut
terly foolish and n-onsenslcal," r. s. Hall,
attorney for the Omaha Water company,
said there might have been some sense in
the proposition before the city bought the
water works.
The city OF Omaha has bought the hold
ings of the Omaha Water company and
therefore this idea Of placing a tax against
the property is child's play" said Mr.. Hall,
1T would never stand in the courts, and
1 believe the city's own legal department
would advise against it,"
Double Taxation.
Not having seen a copy of the ordinance
or a full statement as to what 1t contains,
Judge w. w. Morsman, attorney for the
Omaha Electric Light and Power company,
said he was not in a position TO give an
opinion on the merits of the proposed ac-
ton.
"A similar occupation tax was attempted
IN Lincoln and litigation growing out OF an
ordinance passed by the city council OF
that city Is now i'm the supreme court,
said Judge Morsman. 1T is claimed by the
companies in Lincoln that the occupation
tax there imposed is double taxation, and
the same claim can be made on the same
grounds In Omaha. We will have to await
the action OF the supreme court"
In the absence OF President Yost, W. B
T. Belt, general manager of the Nebraska
Telephone company, declined to say much
about the occupation tax ordinances, other
than that he viewed the collection of an
