TEACHERS ASKING
FOR a TAX ON GAS
Are to Send Petitions to the
Legislature Along That
Line.

County Superintendent of Schools
A. p. Morrison is sending to the
teachers of the county The following
letter as we'll as a petition to be
signed by them in connection with a
movement to place small produc-
ton tax ON gas:
AT meeting of the county SUI
perintendents held at Charleston
January 10, 20 and 81, the enclosed
petition to the legislature of West
Virg mia concerning a small produc-
ton tax on gas was recommended.
Many Of the men in our legislature,
among them the chairman OF the
House of Delegates. Mr.. Wetzel, ex-
pressed their approval Of such tax.
These men thought it proper and
believe that such petition from the
voters of West Virginia would mean
much toward the passage OF such a
bill.
While at present we as a state
rank very high in the production OF
gas and other minerals, and boast
of our position in the Industrial
world, our public schools do not
compare favorably with the schools
in states OF like resources: in fact,
do not rank equally with those OF
many states that have much less OF
natures wealth. Should this be
true? In the very near future, il
we may Judge, the gas supply of oul
own by that CT other states, this, al
present, one OF our most valuable
assets, will be no more, and what
will we as a state have to show fol
lit? Practically nothing. This small
tax on gas production would hardly
be felt by the producers, and wonlc
add greatly to our school funds
The boys and girls OF our state arc
as bright and Intelligent as those o
any other, and have as much RICH
to thebenefits of the best schools ant

girls in the United States.
DO you as teachers of Harrison
county know that in districts o
many counties in ou~ own state
owing to lack Of funds, the schools
can be in session only -four, (4) t.

Mr Bryan's Greatest Work.

II is difficult for us to realize the
full significance of what 1t means to
have heard Bryan. One, who. holding
no title save that of preeminent lead
ership amongst his people. while tour
ing In foreign lands was accorded a
homage usually held to be due only
to crowned heads or the royal po-
tentates OF earth.
When has II come to us, that a
great statesman and publicist upon
whose mighty strains august assem-
blies and listening multitudes have In
breathless tension hung and whose
supreme leadership is yet among the
probabilities, has taken upon himself
the greatest task and the grandest of
all work-the propagation of the
story of the Prince of Peace?
Bryan, Christian teacher as well as
political economist. He teaches local
self-government, but Goes not hesitate
to align himself on the side of moral
ity when an issue arises.
For instance, take the question of
the public sale of intoxicating liquors
which, as a menace to society and a
source of social and domtstic demon
alization and crime surpasses every
thing else known to civilized peoples
The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1911-06-21

Bryan advocates local option and then
does not hesitate to advise that. in
the exercise Of that option. to place
the sale of intoxicating liquors in the
category of those things or crimes
that are forbidden by the law.
He is an earnest advocate of per-
sonal liberty, but he is equally earn
