PRESIDENT TAFT seems determined to
fill all the offices possible before he va
Gates the presidential chair, and plainly
announces that be will appoint Republi-
cans to all vacancies. This wouldn't be
SO bad if he had the wisdom TO select the
right sort OF men, but the country has SUI
fered so much from his mistakes that the
Democrats will not permit him TO unload
his lame ducks on President Wilson's

. A LAW to pay county officers regular
salary instead OF allowing them fees is
recommended by State Tax Commissioner
Blue and will be earnestly urged for pass
age at the next session of the LeglSla-
ture. Such measure ought to pass
the old method has long since psSyep
itself an extravaganza that ought TO be
repressed. In some counties the sheriff
and clerks get greater salaries than the
Governor or any other State officer, and
the present methods induce all sorts OF
corruption. In our own section OF the
State there are no such abuses that we
are aware of. but there are serious evils
in other counties. The Legislature should
allow liberal salaries and cut out the fees.

THE West Virginia Legislature ought
to pass measure providing for a rail-
road commission, such as the State oil
Virginia has. Hundreds OF matters OF
interest to the people are adjusted each
year in Virginia because OF the action OF
the railroad commission, and improve
ments are being continually made by
reason OF its watchfulness and readiness
to hear complaints from persons affected.
The railroads are as rule Indifferent 10
the needs OF the people and little or no
attention is given to even the most rea-
sonable requests. When, however, any
matter concerning the public is brought
TO the attention OF the railroad commits
sion, an investigation is assured and a
remedy is usually found.
Let us have railroad commission.
