CARRIERS fight FOR A Progress
SIVE ideal And PRAC.
TICAL HONESTY.

Ex-Governor George r. Carter at
the meeting called by the Chamber of
Commerce voted alone for that which
is progressive and busness-like in
government And every business man
in the city will agree that such is the
fact, if he stops to think
Mr.. Carter called for the retention
of every legal detail that will protect
the financial integrity of the Terri
tory.
Mr.. Carter also talked straight bus
mess when it came to discussion of
the limitation of the tax rate. He
protested, and rightly so, against the
retention of the ancient and dscred-
tied system of holding the tax rate
iron bound while allowing the Valua-
lions to be juggled to suit the eX-
igencies of public necessity and Off
cial whim.
Everyone, and especially the bus
mess men of the city recognize that
the present property valuation sys-
tenn is morally wrong and utterly I'M
businessike.
1t is morally wrong because it puts
the small property holder at dis
advantage He knows that the valu-
alton of his property is wrong and

his case to the tax appeal court is too
great to warrant his making a fight
for his rights. So he pays. The man
or corporation of wealth and large
property interests, however, can af-
ford to carry the case to the tax APP
peal court and get review of the
valuation
The result is that assessors, being
human will be careful with the hold
er of large property and careless with
the little fellow
Everyone admits that the scheme Of
elastic" valuations is wrong and sill
ly from a business standpoint.
Conduct business on business
like basis" cry business men when
they are criticising the government
officials.
That's what they say
And what have they done in this
instance?
On the occasion of an opportunity
arising to put the valuation and the
taxation of real and personal prop
erty on better business basis-at
one of the stopping places in the his
tory of the city when they are called
upon to bring their influence to bear
for a fair deal in valuation and more
scientific and accurate scheme Of tax
ation-their response is, with Mr..
Carriers single dissenting vote, in eff
feet, ooh let that part of it go. Per-
petuate the unbusinesslike system of
the past. Continue what we know to
be wrong and violation of every

Justice Robertson previous to going

COVE RNll E VT WILL
GET AN INVITA- TON
To Have a Part in the Semi.
Centennial Celebration
at Wheeling.

WHEELING, Dec. 20-That the
United States government win very
probably participate in the celebra-
ton Of the West Virginia seml-cen-
teunial was the announcement made
yesterday by Col. John n. Day, sec
rotary OF the commission. Some
tine ago Colonel Lay enlisted the
West virginia delegation at Wash
ington in. the cause and he has had
considerable correspondence with
Senators Chiffon and Watson, and
the FIVE representatives of the state,
regarding the matter Henry G. pa
Wis, OF Elk!ns, chairman of the semi
centennial commission, has gone to
Washington, where, within few
days, he viii meet the seven gentle
men mentioned above and take up
with them Just what is to be asked
from -the government. Senator
Chiffon is heading the movement at
the capital to make the West Viz
GINA affair success, and under his
leadership the form of the federal
participation will be worked out.
While 1t is the farthest thing in
the world from the intention of the
semi-centonnial promoters to arouse
any of the old war feeling, and the
chances are slim that any such feel
ings will be aroused, since the cele-
.bration is to commemorate his,
torical event in the Civil war, the
government will be approached on
exactly that footing.
west Virginia saved the
Union" viii be advanced in the ma

tain state had not separated from
the Old Dominion, the United states
would have been divided. The Con-
federates would have sent their
troops north through this state and
spread east and west through Penn.
sylvania and Ohio. The strateglcal
Importance of the states position is
at once seen; West Virginia was al
most necessary to the union.
This idea will be strongly advanced
when the West Virginia senators and
representatives make their demands
in Congress. Among thesthlngs to be
asked for are two regiments of the
National Guard aud possibly a monu-
,ment
While it is not yet certain that the
German bank officials will erect a

fact that the bank building is on the

monies will include the unwilling OF

A movement is now on to ,have a

on or in front of the old postoflce
