COUNCIL ACTS.

In response to the message of the
Board OF Control recommending a
searching investigation into the
charges made against Chief OF Police
Leyland and the counter charges OF
that Official, claiming to be the victim
of conspiracy. the city council ap-
pointed a special committee to con-
duct the inquiry into the truth or
falsity OF these accusations. The per.
sonnet OF this committee. so far as
the lntelligencer can Judge. assures
fair and honest inquiry into the
matter. IL is charged with a great
responsibility. but inasmuch as It is
endowed with the power TO compel
the attendance OF witnesses and the
production of papers bearing on the
case. there is no doubt that the find.
ings OF this committee will refute the
insinuation emanating from certain
sources as to a partial and prejudiced
examination
The action Of council in ignoring the
regular police committee of that body
does not seem TO have been taken as
a reflection on that committee. but
rather exhibits a desire to have the
Investigation made by a body of men
who could not be accused of holding
intimate relations with the police de.
partment. as the regular police com.
mittee is supposed TO sustain. II
the police committee conducts an ex.
animation Of its own. as IL has threat.
ened to do. and throws more light on
the matter than the special committee
will be able to do. the public. which

CHEWING THE OLD RAG.

In commenting on the reasons given
by Governor Hatfield for not making
effective the $4,000 appropriated for
the representation OF West Virginia
at the San Francisco exposition.
namely a prospective deficit in the
states revenues. the Hampshire Re
view. whose editor was an especially
bitter opponent OF the tax reform
measures advanced by the Republican
party. points with pride" TO the al
legged inefficiency OF the working OF
these laws. when his paper says:
Going away back to 1904 that
party perpetuated itself in power by
making a majority OF the voters be-
ueve that It was going to practice
some kind OF financial Iegerdemain
by which IL would reduce taxes and
yet raise and spend more money. that
II would entirely eliminate the direct
State tax. Those OF us who exposed
the inconsistency and absurdity OF
that position were subject 10 cruel

ton OF the tax reform laws is unwar.
ranted. They have held good in every
instance. and without them the state
to-day would have been confronting a
much more serious embarrassment
than the present one. which can only
be temporary. The withdrawal OF
$4,000 of revenue through the
operations OF the prohibition amend
ment and the cost Of suppressing miu-
ing disorders in the lower part of the
state. amounting to $500. 900. accounts
for the lack OF funds. The Hamp-
shire Review. like other Democratic
journals, believes In stationary ex-

Unusual demands have been made
upon the treasury for the upkeep OF

OF these additional expenditures the
treasury OF the state would have been
