FACTS ON
TAX ISSUE
DEMOCRATIC PAPER SHOWN UP
IN WILD CLAIM ON STATE
REVENUES.
Democratic claims Effectively Die
proven by Figures Of Auditor
Darst.
BY CAL r. YouHo.
fntsilizsnosr bureau.
Charleston, ". Va, July a8.


fntstli9snosr nursaa.
chArisston, ". Va, July 40.
Some OF these Democratic news
papers in West Virginia wander as
far from the gospel truth as Absalom
strayed from his fathers teaching.
Just recently several OF the Demo
cratic journals. for many years the
bitter opponents OF tax reform. mo.
mentarily forgot the numerous shafts
tney had hurled at the new tax laws
and when the board OF public works
reduced the state levy from ~ to "a
cents. and attempted to appropriate
the credit for this reduction through
the assertion that IL was made posi-
Die through h economy practiced by
n Democratic legislature.
The a~bsurdity Of this arrogant claim
was completely exposed by State
Auditor Darst. who cited the records
OF his office to show that the ex-
penditures OF the state administration
for he biennial period OF 1sOs-1O
were over 100000 less than the ap.
preparations mad by the Democratic
legislature for the biennial period OF
19ll-12.
The Darst statement was unanswer-
able and was unanswered. Instead or
backing down gracefully from an I'M
tenable position. one OF those Demo-
cratic journals sought to cover up
its sin by gently %prodding the whole
AK system. which Mr.. MacCorkle
sought to repeal In the legislature
last winter. The Huntington Adver.
tiser said:
As a matter OF fact practically as
much revenue was collected last year
from n five and one-half rent rate as
was collected six years ago from a thir-
ty-ive cent rate"
Disprove Statement.
Here are the facts in the matter
showing that the writer OF hat state
ment quoted above. vas m~isinformed.
The year 1904 saw the last time the
30 cent levy VAS in effect. In that
year there was a % cent levy for the
state fund and a 10 cent levy for the
general school fund. The 25 cent
levy raised s614,2O6.O4 for state pur-
poses and the 10 cent levy raised
~s390.425.06 for the support OF h
schools. making a total of 81. OO4. 721.I1
collected directly from the people
that year by the state.
In 1910. the direct state levy was
~ cents for state purposes and an
additional one eel for the state road
fund. From the 41 CEN levy. the
state collected ~s475.933.5O and from
the n cent road levy $S4.939.50 max
ing a total OF S560,S73 in comparison
with $1,000. 721.1O collected by direct
taxation in 1904. OF the whole amour:
collected in 1910. $405 1850 was
transferred 20 the general school
fund and ~ss4.93e.5O. the one cent road
tax. was refunded 70 the counties.
leaving just STOOLS used for state
purposes in 1910 in comparison with
S614.2O6.04 used for state purposes in
1904.
Another statement made bv the
Democratic press and refuted by the
record Is that the valuations OF the
railroads In 1906 are practically the
same in the year 1911. The records
show that the valuations placed on
railroads we're. in 1904. s30.O43.17O92:
