A BIG SAVING.

Three million dollars is TO be the
saving to the people of the country
as the result of the fact that Con
gresham Ben Johnson, OF Kentucky.
is chairman of the house committee
on the District of Columbia. He dis
covered that the people in the states
ere paying oue-half Of the texes of
those who reside in the District of
Columbia and, until he began to
make fight in congress they did
not know it. Even some Of the mem
bers CT congress did not know it,
The practice OF the government
standing one-half OF the taxes for
residents Of the District of Columbia
is an Old one. 1t has been going on
fer years. Custom is a hard thing
to break down. But there is really
no more reason why the people OF
the states should bear half OF the eX-
pclse Of maintaining the District of
Columbia than there is why they
should pay half of the tgNcs Of the
residents of the capitals OF states.
The old policy of the government to
stand one-half OF the taxes makes
Washington a fine place for tax dodg-
ing milHonaire5 TO build there pal
aces 1t might only be expected
that when Mr.. Johnson began his
fight pressure would be brought to
bear on him to force him to abandon
it. 1t was. The great newspapers Of
Washington layed him and ridiculcd
him; the senate set itself up against
him, he was opposed on the floor of
the house, AID he had to fight, ard
fight hard. for every inch of Roadway
he made.
Hut Mi Johnson took the attitude
that he wa ssent to conghess TO serve
the best interests of all the people
aud not for the purpose Of perpetual
ing soft snaps for the wealthy of the
Distric tof Columbia Mr.. Johnson,
after a hard fight succeeded in strik
ing more than three millions of dol
lars out of the last appropriation bill
for the District Of Columbia

WE DON'T WANT WAR.

President Taft is TO be eongratu-
lated upon his deci sion in the Mex
leo affair. He trutafully states
there is no need for Intervention at
this time, but should the lives Of
American citizens. who have gone to
that country be in danger, il will be
plenty time to act then.
As the result of the Civil War we
are paying annually more than one
hundred and fifty million dollars as
pensions TO old solder. we have
standing debt of many millions in.
CURED by the war. and these com
bined have placed a great burden
upon the people Our national debt
was further increased by the Span
ish.American war as we'll as the pen
sion list made larger This matter
should be considered by those who
are anxious for conflict with our
Southern neighbor
It'i5 true that the lives of Ameri-
cans in Mexico are in danger, but
they went there on their own Volt
ton, and they receive the same pro
lection as other foreigners in that
troubled country. Unless they are
killed wantonly, there is no need Of
us rushing into another war.
A war with Mexico means a stag
nation in business. The money mar
kct is already troubled because of
the difficulty existing in Mexico and
for this country to declare war
might result in a panic. 1t would
require an immense sum Of money
to carry on the war volunteers
would be called for thus eau sing
many men to leave responsible posi-
tons which means a crippling of all
classes OF business throughout the
country. Let common sense and
good Judgment prevail, and we viii
safely get rid of the trouble without
the shedding of blood or the useless
expenditure of money.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

Business conditions in this couu'
try are not yet showing unfaYorablc
effects from the disturbed political
situation abroad, although in specu-
lDtive markets the influence has be
come apparent through curtailment
in the volume of trading in securl-
ties and slowly advancing io;fl
rate, which in some centers causes
more or less OF a depressed senti'
meut regarding the future. ADDED
to the foreign disturbances, includ-
ing the Balkan war. the Mexican
trouble and growing disturbance IN
Japan, there is areadjustment peri
Cd in progress and in this country IN
labor affairs that causes some amre-
hcpsion,
At this time 10 is difficult to ten

pears that all Interested parties
have issued thoir final ultimatum.

In the southern part of this State
labor conditions are very unsettled
1t seems impossible for the operators
and miners to bury their trouble.
Foreign influence, it appears, has
swayed the miners, and they are dc

However. in the face Of all difficult
ties, the future promises are bright
The steel industry is at It's height;
the lumber and coal interests are
daily employing more help; and, in
fact, every class Of business is thriv-
ing. And all this in the face OF a
new administration which promises
TO make some changes. No business
man need entertain any fear as to
the future, because no honest bust
ness will suffer All will be treated
with fairness and be encouraged as
long as they respect the law. There
fore, it is incumbent upon every one
to take fresh courage and help keep
prosperity in our midst

FIRE PREVENTION.

Ire move the conditions that cause
fire. and the losses will be cut in
half" said former Fire Chief Crok'
er of New York, in arguing for fire
as better than fire fight
ing As one Of the experts in tins
matter Croker says that fully 50 pei
cent. of fires are preycntable, and 1t
was due to the activity along TINS
line that m Sly ciries have an annual
cleanup day-that is, they remove
from their cellars and buildings ac'
foundations of combustible mater
ials into which a thoughtlessiy
dropped match might start Il contia'
grafton. Remove the kiudlins and
a fire cannot start,
In line with this policy it should
be proposed to train the Martins
burg drcmcn after the New York
system. which means alertncss be-
fore a fire starts as well as prompt
ness afterwards If fireman dis
covers q condition calculated to start

LIMESTONE LEADS.

More limestone is produced in tho

of stone. not excepting granite, and
its value is also greater
The value of the limestone ouiput
in 1911, according to the United
states Geological Survey was $50
897362, a decrease OF $7O6,316 from
he figures OF 1910 The decrease in
yalue was chiefly in limestone used
for tiuXing. These figures do not in
clude the value OF most OF the stone
that is burned into lime nor a large
quantity OF limestone used in the
manufacture of Portland cement.

THE COTTON TARIFF ROBBERY

The American people are paying
annually about $80,O6DoO0 more for
their cotton goods than they ought
to pay because of the Ubiquitous
Payue-Aldrich tariff law. The Gard
Congress is preparing to interfere
with this robbery There will be Il
big downward revision on all kinds
of cotton goods
The cotton schedule of the Payne
Aldrich law carries an average duty
OF about 53 per cent This means
tina tevery article Of cotton cloth
and every piece Of cotton yarn that
comes through the custom house, has
SO per cent. added to its foreign
price. And on cotton goods that
does not como through the custom
hou SO, but is manufactured in this
country, the So per cent. is added
Just the same by the home manufac
turer
When the tariff on cotton goods
is reduced onethird or onehalf OF
the present rates, this article 50

may be had at prices more nearly
representing the actual value of The

LEGISLATURE.

This is the last week Of the STATE
Legislature. and everybody should
rejoice. The session has proved OF
no benefit to the people, and what
has been done will benefit them but
very little. The Democrats have eX
crted their utmost to have worthy
legislation enacted, but they have
been met with such stern resistance
by the opposition that they could not
accomplish much.
Had the Republicans and Progress
sives desired to be true to their con
st,luents, the session would have
proved very important one, Good
laws would have been enacted, and
the people benefited. But such was
not their desire or intention. They
preferred to spend the time catering
to the wi hes Of the politicians
while their work was allowed to sui
fer.
1t will not he difficult to place the
blame. The Democrats, the only
Progrossiyes in the body, were anX-
ious to have written on the statute
books laws that would help all. This
was thoir earnest desire, but being in
the minority they could not aocomp-
fish what they had hoped. What
progressive logi Station we will have
will come directly from the Demo
Gratis because the majority has
fought with might and main to pre-
vent such
There will come a reckoning day
at the polls next year The record
Of all parties will be reviewed by
the voters. The Democrats are not
afraid to have theirs exposed, be
cause they have done nothing OF
which they are ashamed If the Re.
publicans aud Progressiye5 can make
satisfactory explanation, it is
more than they can do at the pres
cnt time,

While this bill may be subject TO
amendment aud will be bitterly as

have no appropriations in the bill
and who are opposed to an expendl-
ture this year for public buildings, it
IS generally believed that the bill will
pass, although it may be amended to
some extent
Any amendments that may be
made( however, are likely to be in
the way of additional amounts added
by the senate in order 10 take care
Of projects to which the senators are
friendly. which are not included in

Of the bill as reported to the house,
every congressional district in West
Virginia gets orc public building or
size for a building and the first dis
rict gets two items, both small, but
both important
one is an increase in the limit of
cost Of the building ALREADY authoriz-
cd at Moundsyille and the other is
for a site for a new building at New

SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE

For the third time within a year
martial law has been declared in
West Virginia, and the State militia
placed in the Paint Creek coal field.
Following the battle Monday night,
when twenty five lives are reported
10 have been lost, Governor Glass
cock Immediately exercised his aa-
thurity and hurried troops to the
scene
The Legislature should make a
careful investigation into existing
conditions, and ascertain where the
fault lies. If the mine guards are to
blame they should be driven away.
II the representatives. of the United
Mine Workers are melting the strik-
er3 to riot and urging them to com
init depredations, they should be Sc
yerely dealt with. This matter has
already gone too IN.
After the troops arrived tho trouble
somewhat ceased, but careful in
yestigation showed a reckless, def
ant gang was repeatedly violating
the law; that the leaders lost no op-
rortuuity to take life or destroy
property, ana that as long as they
were allowed to roam at large law
and order would be treated as
farce
The people have already been put
TO great expense in suppre5sins
riots in the Paint Creek field, and
they nave grown tired of permitting
Iawless gangs to cause to be taken
from the State treasury annually
hundreds of thousands of dollars
that they may live in di 3obedienco
TO tho law. only this week the Leg
islature authorized the payment OF
nearly S25o,ooo, and conditions are
no better. They will grow worse I'M
I'll every guilty man is punished, be
he striker Or guard
Since quite number of the strIk'
ers have been arrested, it is incum-
bent upon the military court to IN
fict the severest punishment upon
the guilty. 1t would prove deter
rent to others and would go far to-
ward preventing another outbreak
Such conditions are disgrace to
the state, and they will continue Just
as~ long as lax methods are employed
TO punish those responsible for them,
