DAWSON TALKS
Says He Finds Much Unrest Among
the Voters of State, But G. o. p.
VIII Win.

Former Gov. William NJ. o. Dawson,
If West Virginia. finds great deal OF
unrest and uneasiness among the vot-
ers of his State. but believes The Re
publcans will be successful in both
the legislative and the congressional
elections He is in Washington on
business before the Supreme Court
connected with the Virginia deb case.
West Virginia" said former Gov.
Dawson at the Willard last night, us
a protection State, but there is no
need disputing the fact that there is
considerable dissatisfaction with the
present tariff law; not so much with
the law itself ! would say, as with
the manner in which it was construct
ed and put through Congress. The
logrolling that accompanied that bill
and the evil results that grow from
such methods are Objectionable to
good citizens. A feeling exists that
| they are lot getting all the govern
ment should do for them, and that the
government is devoting too much at
tention to the special interests. This
| feeling of discomfort this demand on
| the part OF portion of the voters for
a change comes, too, at time when
we are having good crops and wage
| earners are all employed and fairly
good wages are paid. The situation is
| much the same as in 1892, in the Harr
son campaign, when, with big crops
and good wages, the unrest OF the peo
pie became a menace to the party in
power and eliminated in the Home
| stead strike. This situation is local
to no State, but seems to extend
| throughout the land.
West Virginia, regardless of these
conditions, will support Republican
principles and elect the Republican
ticket. The majority may be less than
| in recent years, but have no fear Of
defeat. for the sober second thought of
| the voters will convince them that no
good can come from putting the Dem
ocrats in power. They made that eX-
pertinent in 1892. and have not forgot
ten the consequences. Upon the sue
| cess Of our legislative ticket depends
the return of Senator Scott. There are
fifteen hodover senators. eleven Of
whom are Republicans. Fifteen sena-
| tors are to be chosen, and the entire
i Sc members of the house of delegates.
In 1906 the usual $4,000 Republican
majority prevailed in West Virginia
and in 1908, an off year. even with the
Swisher iSche~r trouble, we carried the
State by practically the same vote. A
hard fight is being made by the Demo
Gratis in the various congressional dis
tricts. but no Republican expects any
upheavals there"

AUTOS All RAILROAD CROSSINGS

The frequency of fatal accidents 10

ings gave decided pertInence to two
decisions by the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals on the rules of con

victims OF such acc dents.
In one case, New York Contra vs..
Maidment, the Court held that the rule

more imperative in the case of auto

That Is Liberal Education For

Mr.. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen
Of the Fourth Senatorial District:
Hon. w. e. Chiffon in his keynote
address delivered on the occasion of
the Third Democratic Congressional
convention held in Hinton, West Vir-
ginia, August 9Th, 1910, said: Il have
always been opposed to the new tag
laws; they are a fraud and a decep-
ton; snare devised for the purpose
Of carrying gentlemen into Office and
not intended to give the people any
permanent benefit. These laws have
for their purpose the building up OF
q political machine, to keep a lot Of
gentlemen in ofI1ce-and well have
the laws performed their purpose"
II is with reference TO these remarks
that ] wish to address this conven-
ton for a short time.
Mr.. Chairman, the Republican par
ty is ready and willing TO stand on

Mr. Chilton's words are true, we
have been playing with the people,
and when they ask for bread. we
have given them a stone: and If his
indictment of the Republican party is
true, then we should be routed from
power and others more worthy of the
confidence Of the people placed in
authority.
The tax laws were passed some
five years ago. At that time the
state tax was twenty-five cents on the
hundred dollars valuation and the
state school tax was ten cents on
the hundred dollars valuation, max
ing a total of thirty-five cents for
state and school purposes. The as

DEBT CASE GOES OVER.
Continued to The January Term Of
Court

Court.
Washington, d. c., October 12.-Thc
hearing of the Virginia debt case by
he supreme court Of the United
States was continued til January 16.
1911.
The motion to continue was made
by Attorney General Conley Of West
Virginia, in order that the case might
be heard by a full court. The motion
was not opposed by Virginia and the
court fixed January Is of its own Volt
ton indicating a desire to take The
matter ND al an early date.
With Attorney General Conley in
cour. were former Ex-Governor Daw-
son and George w. McClntock. Gov
ernor Dawson was admitted TO prac.
tice in he court and took the required
oath. An interes. ed spectator in the
court room was Elliott Northcott,
United States minis er to Columbia.

sessments, as made in the counties
on real estate, were so unequal
some counties having valuation of
twenty-five cents on the hundred dol
lars, and running up, in other coun-
ties, TO sixty and seventy cents ON
the hundred dollars. Under these
valuations, some counties contributed
much more than their fair share 10
the running expenses of the state.
while others paid much less than
their fair share. The new law, how
ever, contains provisions for the re-
assessment of all real estate at its
true value, in order to secure a more
uniform assessment. This was done
with much nearer approach to uni
formity than was ever had before.
Then the law provided for the grad
ual elimination of the state tax,
which. practically. was accomplished
in three years, leaving the state tax
to be paid by the people, FIVE cents on
the hundred dollars valuation for
state purposes, instead Of thirty-five
cents and recently the Board of Pub
lie Works has reduced this direct tax
to AZ cents.

WHERE THE MONEY COMES
FROM.

1t is not necessary for me to re-
view the whole history OF the new
tax laws, What we are most inter
ested in at this time is after five
years trial. what are the conditions
now at the close of the fiscal year
1909, and where did the money come
from to pay the expense of the state
government for the fiscal year ending
September 30. 1909, and what did we
do with it?

WHAT DO DEMOCRATS PROPOSED
Now, what does my friend, Mr..
Chiffon. propose to do? Here are the
more important items of the expense
of the state government. Just look
them over briefly. Does Mr.. Chiffon
propose to close the university, being
run at $l26.S3S20? Would he bar to
the youth of our state the doors of
the Normal schools being run at
$l03,221.S0? Are any of those other
institutions which have for their pur-
pose the education of our people, the
care of the insane, the support OF our
wards and the maintenance of our
hospitals Of so little value to the peo-
pie OF the state that we could aban-
don cur unfortunate dependents to
save paltry sum of money? Mr.
Chiffon will be compelled TO answer
that the state can not do without a
sing.e one Of those institutions, no
difference what the cost may be.
Now, Mr. Chiffon, If the Republi-
mans are wasting the peoples money.
It must be i'm the remainder OF the
Items making up the total OF expend-
lures for the fiscal year 1909
Does Mr. Chiffon think the state
officers are paid too much $22.210.00?
But it would make little difference
what he thinks, because the constitu-
tion fixes the salaries. We paid the
judges of the supreme and circuit
courts $92S21.77 Does he want to
make a cut here? Does he want to
cut the salaries of the clerks OF state
Offices, the state house labor fund,
and the contingent expenses of state
Offices? He knows these expenses
could not be cut materially without
doing an injustice.
Mr. Chiffon think. would be glad
to give the state $4,000 paid for the
property on Capitol street The mil

An Unwilling Congress.

There has been in late years a
marked change in the voluntary re-
sponsVenes8 Of lawmakers To public
opinion. Law-making bodies do not
wait for the machinery Of elections
TO turn them out; they act in antici'
patton Of the ballot. In speech
made on the day the Postal Savings
Bank bill passed the Lower House
Murdoch said:
"Eot since ! have been In Congress

many members against it and a meas
ure for which 80 many members will
vote. And there il a reason for that,
Generally, over the United States the
bankers are opposed to it. Now
have made several little tests around
this house and in the senate, and
find that in Congress over fifty per
cent Of the members are connected
with banks. chiefly az directors. Here
IL a measure generally opposed by
the bankers of this country, which

ute to representative government, and
in this instance, evidence OF the re-
sponsiye capacity OF the American
Congress TO public sentiment"
Really radical action Is far distant
from a Congress where one-half are
bank directors, and not one Is the
representative Of labor. England has
one labor man In the Cabinet and
forty in the House OF Commons.
