TO be assessed at Its true and actual
value" The object Of the writer is to
leave the impression that an emer-
gency condition exists in Wheeling
which prompted the city government
10 impose this method OF taxation.
The character of much OF the en-
venomed SANDER puts 1T beyond the
pale of patient discussion. but the
specific assertion hat Wheeling is
not only bankrupt. but its balance
leaves it s162, S3S worse of than moth
ing demands vigorous denial.
Wheeling il far removed from a
bankrupt condition. Its public debt is
not onerous compared with It's wealth
and its taxable property. II can also
boast OF the lowest AK rate of any
city of its own classification. and, for
that matter. compared with cities OF
greater population. Its public utilities
consist OF the water works. gas and
CRY electric lighting plants and
crematory. These establishments.

monts. These things being true. why
then. these Calumnies in the name of
a cause whose propaganda is truth
and righteousness? II this is tn be
the spirit hat will animate the pro.
hibition campaign in this state, then
God help the temperance cause: or.
save it from such friends.
There is much incorrect Information
contained in the circular about good
government movements in Wheeling
and placing the blame for labor
troubles. Ii may interest the mem.
bers OF the business Mems Association
Ia know hat il is charged with being
scared away from its original purpose

count the L. =. Steel Go. seriously con.

samples OF the reckless statements IN
the circular. The whole is a shameful
libel on the city. II Is q matter OF
