In 1896, the last year of Governor
Maccorkle's administration, the dis
tributable. school fund of the State
amounted TO $3S0995. and the per
capita distribution to s1,2Slk. In
1909 the distributable school fund was
ST09.559. and the per capita distribu-
ton, including the supplementary
fund, was S1.SI. Here we have an
increase Of $32S,564 in the amount of
the distributable school fund in 1909
over 1896. and an increase Of 55c per
capita. This gets right back to the
people. 1t shows what the Republican

The insurance department has

out fire or life insurance policies,
have been saved from adventures

The Office of the State Fire Mar
shall is new department created by
act of the Legislature of 1909 and 1t
is maintained wholly by the fire in
surance companies, b; I Is of vast
benefit to the entire public. Several
States have Fire AIarshals and they
have been found 10 be a valuable aid
in decreasing the fire losses through
their prosecution of incendiaries.
To decrease the fire losses In West
Virginia was the desire OF the fire
insurance companies and they believ-
ed State Fire Marshal with one or
two deputies would be instrumental
in ending the great destruction of
property by incendiaries, The fire
insurance companies are taxed to
pay the fire marshal and his assist
ants and besides meeting all the OBJ
legations of the Department they
have responded readily with financial
assistance in prosecuting several ag-
gravated cases of incendiarism.
Democratic speakers have referred
to the Fire Marshal and his office as
a useless expenditure OF money by
the State. They did not attempt to
make an investigation which would
show the fire insurance companies
maintained this department at their
own expense and that it has not cost
the taxpayers one dollar.
Beginning with March 4, 1905, all
fees in connection with the Auditors
Office, which formerly went into the
pocket of the Auditor, were paid into
