Democratic "Mismanagement."
The records show that in a
large number oi cases public Of
hcials who had charge 81 the
lands that had been returned de-
linquent and purchased by the
state as forfeited, delayed pro-
ceedings against these lands un-
til some shadow Of title Had ma
tured, due to taxes having been
paid by other parties, who in this
manner had acquired title under
adverse possession In this way,
hundreds Of thousands Of dollars
were lost to the State by the
neglect, if | should use so mild
a term, of the public officials OF
those days. As an instance OF
the manner in which the forfeit
ure of delinquent lands has been
treated, there were certified to
the Commissioner Of School
Lands Of certain county for the
years 1873 to 1904. taxes amount
ing to $IaI,oI8, and | have been
unable to find any entry Of any
amount having been paid to the
Auditors Office on account of
these delinquent taxes. What is
true Of this county in this respect
is equally true OF great many
other counties.
Has the Democratic party re-
pented for their misdeeds or their
sins of the past? And if they
were given power again, would
they repeal these laws that have
meant SO much to the people2
Here is what Hon w. Z. Chill
ton, who is one Of the leaders Of
the Democratic party in this
State, said two years ago, and
what Ex-Governor MacCorkle,
another representative and leader
of the Democratic party, actually
accomplished last winter in the
Legislature.
Hon. w. T.. Chiffon, in a kew
note address delivered on the oc-
casion of the Third District Dem
ocratic Congressional Convention
held i'll Hinton, w Va, August
6, 1910, said:
I have always been opposed
to the new tax laws: they are a
fraud and deception: a snare de-
vised for the purpose of carrying
gentlemen into office and not in
tended to give the people any
permanent benefit These laws
have for their purpose the build
ing up OF a political machine to
keep lot OF gentlemen in office
and well have the laws per-
formed their purpose"
MacCorkle Favors Corporations.
Ex-Governor MacCorkle, in
speech made at Charleston, May
IS, 1912, said, among other
things, that the reason why the
party he represents should be re-
turned to power was that they
passed in the last session OF the
Legislature in the House a bill
abolishing the Tax Commission
er's Office. have been a mem
Der of the Legislature for ten
years, and closely associated with
it for eight years more, and l
have not seen in all this time
piece of legislation offered which
championed the cause of the
great money interests as against
the masses of the people, to the
extent OF this bill, backed by
Governor MacCorkle, to which
he proudly refers as passing the
House. 1t was deliberate plan
to put the masses under bondage
and compel them to pay tribute to
the great corporations MIR Mac
Corkle could mean NOTHING less
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1912-10-26
Tax Burdens Equalized.

These figures speak for them
selves, and show to what extent
under Democratic rule the great
masses OF taxpayers were COM
PEELED TO carry burdens in the
way OF taxation, which should
have been borne by others, as
they are now. No wonder that
the treasury was empty, and that
at the same time there was no
money for humane institutions,
even though the small property
holder was paying great deal
more than his fair part.
In addition to the Republican
party's policies already mentioned
having been of great service to
the people of the State, the Pub
lie Accounting Act has been ac-
comprising wonders, and before
four more years have passed, all
public business, whether it be
municipal, county or State, will
be dispatched with the prompt
ness and accuracy of well-man-
aged bank, and the State will
continue to save large sums Of
money because of it.
The Board of Control. another
child of Republican business sa-
gacity, is employing the most
improved methods in looking
after the affairs of our public
educational, penal and charitable
institutions. The results OBJ
tanned speak for themselves.
Leaks have been stopped. Thou
sands of dollars are being saved
each month by the State, At the
same time, increased efficiency
and service have been attained
for the institutions under its con-
troll.
The Insurance Department
under Republican management
has been entirely made over. In
stead of the State being dump
ing ground for all manner of wild
cat insurance companies, as it
was under Democratic rule, we
have cleaned it up, until we have
the respect of our sister States
as well as our own citizens. This
was brought about by fighting
everything bad in insurance, and
encouraging and protecting the
good. Our people know they
have an Insurance Department
to which they can look with CON
hdence when trouble comes.
This Department has not only
been OF great service to the peo-
pie, as hundreds will testify, but
has been a revenue producer as
well. Last year it turned into the
State treasury approximately
$4,000, while the cost of main
tanning the department is about
$500.
Nor is this all. The records OF
the Auditors office reveal a sad
story relative 10 Democratic mis-
management. The records show
that when the State fund became
exhausted, which it did very fire.
quently, they borrowed from the
School Fund TO replenish it. The
accounts with the Sheriffs were
kept in very loose manner.
Many of them show they were
never balanced at all. Some Of
them show a balance due the
State, with nothing to show that
All attempt had been made to Sc

Sheriff and his securities from

than to affirm that It IS wrong to
compel the corporations of this
State to bear their fair share Of
taxes, and instead OF the vast
sum of S2,2oo,ooo, in round num-
bers, being collected from the
public service corporations. he
desired, no doubt, to collect from
them, as his partner formerly did,
100000, and then grab about
one-third of ii to run the State
government, and return to the
counties, districts and lnunicipali-
ties the sum Of about 100000,
instead Of more than S., 100000,
as now.
DO you want to turn your
property over to men who have

A very distressing case has come TO

corning an Italian, Antonio Rapolillo,
who some months ago was stabbed in
the right breast by another foreigner
by tie name OF Vito Cayalcapti.
The stabblng occurred, at Barns.

escape, FORGETTING his bond, which
last week some time was paid over
to the State and county.
Then within the last few days the
sad part of the affair comes out, when
Rapolillo, still suffering from the
wound in his breast, and with sur.
geon's drain.pipe still in the wound, is
said TO have been turned out of the
hospital on account OF not being able
to pay his surgeons and hospital fees.
The man is on! of money, and
though able to walk about, is unable
to do any work. and willsnpt be able
Ito. work until the wound has healed.
Numerous men Of this city who
should be able to 3make correct state,
ments seem ID. think that the man is
really a county charge aud that the
county should look after him. As 1t
is the man is III destitute circum'
stances, and not 1t for any labor, and
is now without a surgeons care.
The man has stayed around in the
basemen. corridors and offices in the
court house since his release from the
hospital, and says that his wound
pains him severely.
The man claims TO have relatives iii
Pennsylvania and many think that 1t
would be good idea for the county
TO furnish the man car fare to the
home of his relatives in Pennsylvania,
where he would be looked after in q
proper manner.
