INHERITANCE
Taxes for Month of January
Reach Several Thous-
and Dollars.

CHARLESTON, Feb. THE sum
OF $6.25O.33 derived from inherit
ance taxes, has been turned over by
Tax Commissioner Blue to the state
treasurer and deposited to the gem
eral fund of the state, as the amount
collected during January from that
source. This amount, however, is
much below the average, as 1t is
believed the amount from inherit
auce taxes will average at least
100000 a year, and in fact had
for some years. During the first
FIVE days in February. however. ST.
591,93 has been collected, and while
this rate is not likely to be kept up
for February, the indications are
the state Will receive much more
this month than last month.
The larger amounts collected thus

of Wheeling, $94S.3S; Isaac Jack
sons estate, Weston, s444.66;
George C. Deweys estate, balance

MINING La WIS ARE
QUITE OUT OF DATE

has been termed "the paralysis of
mining districts" and the rigid re-
qulrement of annual assessment
work should be made actual and eff
fective by inspection and super
vision, in order to put an END to the
present procedure of allowing a
claim to lie idle for practically two
years after its location, not to men
ton the many localities where
claims are held year after year with
only perfunctory compliance, or even
without any performance OF assess
ment work-a type of local disre-
gard for law that is in striking
contrast to the observation accorded
to the district customs and regula-
lions of earlier days, whereby the
right of possession was made abso-
lutely dependent upon continuous
operation.

And Legislation is Suggested
by Director of the Geo

WASHINGTON, Vi. c., Feb. =
Proposed amendments of the we'll
established laws relating to metalli-
ferrous minerals always raises the
warmest discussion. With the opin-
ion of mining men in general favor
ing revision of mining laws of the
United States and with commission
after commission appointed by vari-
GUS bodies to suggest improvements,
the statutes have remained practic-
ally unchanged for nearly forty
years, while the geology of ore de-
posts and the technology of metal
mining have made marvellous prog
ress.
Most important, perhaps, in any
amended mining law would be pro-
vision for enforced development, a
principle expressed, it is true, in the
present law but not made effective in
its workings. A requirement of
actual use as condition of occu-
pancy of ming land can not be re-
garded as either novel or radical AS
regards the large acreage of unde-
veloped land in many mining camps
to which patent has already been
issued, it is perhaps true that the
is without relief. unless
the western Australian plan Isl
adopted, whereby the government
steps in and permits mining under a
lease, the proceeds of which are
assessed, collected. and paid over to
the owner. The principle invoked
seems to be that no property owner

ment of the resources of the state.

Taft Gains Strength.

1t is fast becoming apparent that
the supposed Overwhelming senti-
ment in favor OF forcing the presi-
Dental nomination upon Theodore
Roosevelt has been greatly over es-
tlmated by the colonel's most ardent
admirers. The Roosevelt move
inent has not turned out to be so
popular and widespread as it was
recently supposed, according TO evil
dence that is now being amasscd.
Events Of the last week show that
the first tests of President Tafts
strength among Republicans during
the preceding two weeks were not
out of the general proportion.
tAmong the earliest tests was as
attempt to stampede a congressional
district convention in Oklahoma in
favor of Roosevelt by introducing a
Rough Rider feature, but this sig,
nally failed as the convention voted
by large majority to support Mr.
Taft. Tho Roosevelt boom met the

advisory convention held last week
in Chicago, a platform was adopted
In which President Taft was warmly

Endorsement was turned down by a
vote of SCI to 19S.
Within the last week a new state
committee was selected in Indiana,
with every district indorsing Presi-
dent Taft. Former State Chairman
Lee, who was not in sympathy with
the administration, was superseded
by Fred Sims, a loyal Taft supporter.
In New York the chairmen of the
New York county committees re-
ported to State Chairman Barnes
that the Republicans throughout the
state were strong for the renomina-
ton of the president. In order that
there might be no misunderstood

adopted a resolution indorsing Mr..

This year the day of the "wearin'

March II in the year of 1912 comes
this year on the fourth Sunday in
Lent.
The day falling on Sunday will real
ly make its observance wider, espec-
tally in the larger cities, where the
laboring class of people do not work
on Sundays. and this year their pa
rades will hold in line many men who
could not have taken part had the
day fallen on week day.
Already the large Irish organiza-
tons in this country are making prep

history of the observance of the day
in this country, and March II, 1912,

Mason,s welghty Words.

Judge John w. Mason than whom
there are no better nor truer .Republi-
can in West Virginia and who stands
ready at all times for the better
ment of the people OF the state,
where public or any other questions
are involved, a man thoroughly in
sympathy with national and state
progress, has made the following
declarations in letter to personal
friend in Wheeling, declarations that
will have great weight with the peo-
pie OF this state irrespective of po-
litical affiliations:
II favor the denomination OF
William Howard Taft and believe he
will be reelected. He has made a
great president. HE has rendered
public services of the highest value.
In practical achievement his admin
istration has been one OF the most
remarkable and most brilliant in
American history"
Commenting on Judge Mason and
his position on the presidential
question at this time, the Wheeling
Intelligencer contains the following
editorial:
Judge Mason dates his Republi-
.canism from the trying days of '61.
HE is one of the few men still in
public life in West Virginia who
participated in the stirring events
of the war, and who helped found
this state. Learned in law, a stu
dent and close observer of public af-
fairs, he is qualified as few men are
to pass cool and impartial judgment
upon national administration.
Judge Mason's opinion Is an evil
dence Of the sane and sound senti-
ment which all over this broad land
is turning to William H. Taft. Men
who believe in the ancient faith of
the Republican party, who believe
in the regular enforcement of law,
in the sanctity of the courts, in their
preservation from the pressure of
mob violence, who refuse to accept
socialistic doctrines of the recall of
judges and the overthrow of con-
stitutional decisions by popular
vote, are everywhere beginning to
realize that a great issue is at stake
in this campaign. This country is
rapidly approaching the parting OF
the ways, at which 1T must decide
whether the representative and or
derly government will be contin-
ued or whether the constitution will!
be overthrow and the rule of the
mob substituted.
William H. Taft stands against
the recall of judges. He stands for
the dignity of our courts. More than
any other man IN the land he has
obeyed and forced obedience to law
as it stands upon our statute books.
Much of the sentiment against his
denomination comes from the
preachers of socIalistic doctrines
with which pure Republicanism has
nothing in common. To surrender
to this opposition will be to sur
render to the most dangerous ele-
ments in American politics. The
Republican party will not make that
surrender and the sound common
sense of the American people will
sustain it.
