The Calhoun chronicle. [volume] (Grantsville, W. Va.) 1883-1984, 1912-10-08

There are about $50, 900 voters in
West Virginia and a simple cal.
culation shows that the finding
of the Supreme Court saddles g
debt of $28 per voter upon the
people of the State. If the Re.
publicans in the 16 years of their
administration in this State had
exercised the same economy the
Democrats did in their last adj
ministration this debt could have
been paid by this time without a
cent of additional taxation.
II
The taxpayers of West Virgin
ia turn into the State treasury
about two million dollars a year.
When they elect State officers
they are entitled to know that
these officers will not use their
taxes to exploit shaky financial
institutions in which they or
their friends are financially in
terested. A candidate for re-
election should be able to show a
clear record in this connection.
If man hires manager for
his business and at the end of
the year finds his money has
been handled loosely and part of
it lost through the lack of pre-
caution, he is pretty apt to en-
ploy a new manager. Before re
employing men to have charge of
the State funds, voters should in
vestigate and ascertain how their
State taxes have been handled.
The State collects annually in
taxes nearly $1,000, 1000. Last
year $85, 900 of the amount COL
lected was deposited in the FL
deity Banking and Trust Com
pany of Bluefeld, when that in
stitution failed, and it is believed
the State can not recover a dollar
of it. Thus almost five per cent
of the State revenues were lost.
The same State officers who per-
mitted the State to lose five per
cent Of its revenues because it
was deposited ia a bank i'm which
the State treasurer and one of
the Governors personal friends
were stockholders are nearly all
asking for reelection. They are
on the Republican ticket and
asking the support Of the Pro-
grcssives. Is it worth $50, 900 a
year to the taxpayers to reflect
Republican officers for the State ?

Bulk OF Coal Supply from Four States

From 1914, the date of the car
hest record of coal productiod i'm
this country, to 1911. inclusive,
according to chart just issued
by the United States Geological
Survey, Pennsylvania has fur
nished 2. 70, 798, 737 short tons of
anthracite coal and 1896, 491, 26O
short tons of bituminous coal, a
total OF 1868. 289, 907 short tons.
The greatest outputof anthracite
coal from this Stale was in 1911,
when 90, 464, OCT short tons were
mined; the record production Of
bituminOus coal was in 1910.
when the yield was 15O.52I. 526
short tons. Illinois ranks second
in the production Of coal during
the period from 1914 to 1911.
with 8l4, OH. 353 short tons of BIZ
luminous coal; West Virginia
third, with GAG, AS, POI short
tons; and Ohio fourth, with Gil. d.
949, 292 short tons None of the
other States has produced as
