SENATOR SCOTT is leaving no stone
unturned in his campaign for election,
and his obliging confreres of the Senate,
who wish his services retained for the
benefit of the trusts and corporations, are
giving him every sort of encouragement.
Almost every day he gets bill through
the Senate for public building in West
Virginia or for some other special benefit
TO the State, and the same is duly herald
ed by his excellent press bureau. Of
course, few of these bills will ever become
laws, for they are sure to be held up in
the House, where it is fully understood
that they are passed in the Senate for
campaign purposes only. Friday Senator
Scott engineered bill through the Senate
placing upon the pension roll for the bal
ance of their lives all persons who could
establish claim that they acted as nur-
Ses on the Union side during the Civil
War. This bill has been before Congress
for many years, but has always been very
properly rejected. II is again revived
for the benefit OF Senator Scott, and the
CIRCULARS" are willing to give his cam
paign the boost it will bring, even if il
does saddle useless expenditure o.
many millions upon the people every
year.

THE Board of Public Works of West
Virginia is engaged in the strenuous task
of assessing the railroads and other pub
lie service corporations doing business in
this State - one of the most important
functions that the board is called upon to
perform. As usual, the corporations have
their most astute attorneys and repreSen-
tatives on hand, trying to convince the
board that they are poor and destitute
and that taxes should be levied very
lightly, and il will take all the powers of
resistance possessed by our State officials
to stand against these persistent tax dod-
gers. We hope that the board will not
be bullied or fooled in to reducing assess
ments of properties that are constantly
increasing in value. For many, many
years the railroads escaped anything like
a fair tax rate in West Virginia, and now
that they have been made to yield up in
something like the manner that private
individuals pay, there should be no unde-
served favorS shown.
