10 TAKE TIE PASS

With thu coming of the sugar
factory. . stream of unemployed
men has naturally headed in the
direction Of Monte Vista.
Many Of them are useful and
law-abiding people, but there are
among their number some who
come clearly and fully within the
definition Of undesirable" citizens.
Monte Vista has always welcom-
ed the industrious man-rich or
poor-but for the hobo and yeeg
it offers cool comfort.
Within the last few days nine
arrests have been made for dis.
turbance and drunkenness and
practically aa have been turned
loose by the Police Magistrate who
seems to fesi that be is dealing
with the ordinary class of law
breakers.
II Monte Vista is to continue in
the even tenor Of its way, the pol
ice must be vigilant, and the police
judge must not fear to hand out
something to discourage breach of
ordinance.
That boldnsss is becoming an.
parent in certain localities has been
remarked, and those who feel that
the ordinances Of Monte Vista are to
be trifled With. will attend q fine
awakening some Of these mornings.
The merry elink of chain-gang
has proved s6cacious elsewhere,
and might WORT in this altitude.
So, then, 70 the bootlegger, the
tramp. bawd and yegg, it's moving

State Geologist is correct the waste Of
this precious fuel is equivalent to the
destruction of 100000 bushels of coal
or 10000 tons daily, 100000 tons
yearly, and this waste has been going

twenty years. In other words In this

times the amount we have spent for

IN lieu thereof raise the revenue

Gas Tax.
want to urge upon you, as my pre-
decessors have done, and as recon-
mended by the Tax Commissioner, the
advisability Of placing a tax upon the
natural gas produced in this State.
This is a subject Of great Importance,
aud one which should demand your
very careful consideration. Gas is one
OF cur most valuable natural resources
and for the past twenty years and
more our State has been produc ng
vast quantities of this, the best and
purest fuel with which nature has en-
dcwed us, and from which We have
been receiving but very little return.
The value of this fuel consumed in
side and outside of the State and vast
ed is almost beyond computation. The
figures of the State Geologlst, who on
different occasions has called this mat
ter to the attention OF the people OF
the State, are startling and it is be-
yond my power to comprehend why We
have 50 long neglected not only our
opportunity but our duty TO receive a
fair return from those who have been
depicting our State of its great wealth
From the best information | can ob-
tain the annual production of gas in

GOVERNOR GLASSCOCK'S MESSAGE
NOW BEFORE STATE LEGISLATOR

tho maintenance and Improvement OF
our public highways. West Virginia
has rnade wonderful progress IN the
development OF her free school sys-
tenn, but she is not yet giving to her
boys and girls the advantage to which
they are entitled, and the subject Of
education always has and always will
be one CT the most important ques-
tiCns with which our people, or any
other people, win have to deal. Our
hest and most valuable asset is our
boys and girls, and it is impossible for
us to give them greater opportunities
than they are entitled to. We need
and ought to have free text books,
longer terms Of school, teachers
should have better salaries, new high
schools should be created, our Univer-
sity and NormalSchools should have
larger appropriations, and in every
POSSIBLE way, and in every direction,
we should safeguard the interests of
the Boys and girls who will become
the men and women of the future by
giving to them every advantage posi-
bic in order that they may be well pre-
pared for the duties which will soon
Gevolve upon them. A tax of one-half
cent on each thousand cubic feet of
gas produced in this State would be a
mere bagatelle to those who have to
lay It, but would mean al enormous
benefit to the subject of education and
the improvement Of our highways. We
can maintain our State Government
on the moneys we now receive but we
cannot discharge our obligations to
TIE people of the State if We fail to
conserve properly our natural resour-
ces. or fail to require every interest
to bear its just share of the burden
OF taxation. Some will argue with
you that the gas companies of the
State are already paying their share
Of the taxes, but would they dare com
pare the amount they pay with the
amount paid by the farmer and the
small property owners of the State?
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1911-02-04

Some will contend that it means an
unjust burden on these gas companies
to impose an additional tax on them,
ard they even go so far as to say that
it means financial bankruptcy to them
IL they are required to do SO. | hope
you will not be deceived by such state
ments.
1t is said by those who have made a
careful study of the gas question and
whose opoaions ought to and will car
nv great weight, that "the past 20
years have clearly demonstrated that
few enterprises have returned as large
net profits, have as enviable an earn
ing and divided record and have met
tDeir obligations as promptly, as
nt tural gas corporations There has
been no failure of any company to pay
interest and principal on its bonds at
maturity, of which record can be had
In Pittsburg, while dividend disburse-
ments have shown a steady rising ra-
ito"
In addition to The tax I r commend
the enactment OF law similar TO that
PASSED by the Legislature of Indiana
in 1909 which will limit the pressure
under which gas produced in this
state may be pumped.
State Board of Control.
The legislature OF 1909 passed an
CT providing for the government and
control of the public institutions OF
the state by creating State Board of
