CHARLESTON, Feb. THE
house committee on judiciary this
morning reported bill to tax gross
earnings of companies or persons
engaged in the production of coal,
oil and gas with the recommendation
that 1t do pass. This decision was
arrived at by the committee at a
meeting held Saturday.
The proposition is embodied in
four bills, three separate bills deal
ing with coal, oil and gas singly, and
fourth bill. sort of an omnibus
bill. in which the three products are
collectively considered.
Theses are the administrators
bills-those 1t holds chief in i'm
portance and behind them the admin
istratton will put all the machinery
and power at It's command. They
are the money getting measures of
the administration for this session,
and, we are assured by an authorized
spokesman of the administration.
that should these bills become laws.
they will bring into the state treas
ury a very large sum of money and
place the government on easy
street. so to speak, for some years
to come. Indeed. this official de-
clared that should these bills be-
come laws, they would settle the
question of revenue for West vir-
GINA for twenty-five years to come. 8
AT the same time he stated that an
accurate estimate OF the sum to he
derived by these laws could not be
made because there were no statis-
tics at hand giving the gross earn
ings of coal, oil and gas companies,
vet 1t was safe to estimate than an
income of from 100000 to ST.
100000 would accrue from these
three subjects of taxation should the
legislature take favorable action.
While this statement is not alto
gether clear and logical, it is never
theless interesting.
1t is proposed by these hills to
levy license tax on the gross re-
celpts as follows: one per centunl
on the business resulting from min
tng coal; one and one-half on oil
and two, on natural gas.
On this issue one of the hardest
fought contests of this session is
detined to be fought. The interests
affected declare they are taxed nov
more than their equitable share AMI

seemed to me that it was absurd to
leave that china dotted along the road
for her to spy the next morning; so
with a sudden resolution, opened the
door again and stepped out into the
darkness. AS the door closed behind

drive
There were no fragments OF china,

up a silver spoon. So far Rosie's
story was borne out; l began to won

thing cleaning, which proved to be
the handle of a cup. and a step or

of plate. But the most surprising
thing of all was to find the basket sit
ting comfortably beside the road, with
the rest of the broken crockery piled
neatly within, and handful of small
silver, spoons. forks and the like, on
top, could only stand and stare.
Then Rosie's story was true. But
where had Rosie carried her basket?
And why had the thief. if he were
thief, picked up the broken china out
of the road and left it, with his
booty?

In another part of the paper ap-
pears a coupon for voting for a
candidate to attend the Apple
Show in Denver as the represent
ative of the Town of Paonia. She
will be a candidate for Apple
Queen, and we can think of no
place in Colorado so we'll entitled
to that honor; and when we eX-
anime the list of beautiful and
accomplished girls who are being
proposed for the honor, we only
wonder which one of the many
should be awarded the place,
Our readers will observe that
the coupon in this weeks paper
is for FIVE hundred votes. This
will not occur again. 1t is run
for the purpose of giving our

start off a candidate in good

Continued From Yesterday,

H
On the front page, with great head
lines, was a double Headed article of
several columns devoted to Colegrove.
In it was laid bare C~olegrove's whole
| career. especially his management of
the great railway interests confided to
him. AS Senator March had seen long
before, Colegrove had gained a COM
plete ascendancy owe his associates,
who followed his leadership like SO
many schoolboys. Then came the most
singular part of all-the assertion that
Colegrove had got advance information,
which was invaluable to him. through
the wife OF q certain public man, and
although Senator March's name was
not mentioned, 1t was Sc plainly In
dicated that it was impossible to mis-
take who was meant. Then came a
history of Colegrove's alleged transac-
tions in stocks for the benefit of the
senator's wife. and many other par
ticulars, which Alicia had supposed
were known only TO herself and Cole
grove. She read the article through
rapidly, to the accompaniment of the
steady beat of theshorse's hoofs on the
park road and the soft caroling of the
woodland birds. She felt herself grow
ing benumbed like a person being para
USED by inches; when she finished
reading the article she made an effort
to speak, which seemed to cost her all
her strength.

then turning to her husband said: Let
us walk q little way in the woods down
by the water
The carriage stopped and the foot
mar jumped down and assisted Senator
March to alight, and Mrs. March fol-
lowed him. The two walked together
into a path which led down to the
water where there WAS a bench con-
cealed by some ~shrubbery. They both
looked so pale, and Senator March
moved so heavily, that the footman ex-
changed looks with the coachman and
remarked. putting his finger to his
nose:
Something is up between EN-
Down by the water Senator March
dropped upon the bench and Alicia
seated herself beside him.
1T is a great blow" he said. after a
minute, "a very great blow. 1t is the
first dispersion cast upon me or any of
my family during the thirty years of
my public life. Itsis easy enough 10
