TAXATION OF GAS.


In another column OF this issue ap-
pears very interesting and inform.
ing communication from ex-senator
Crimes relating 10 a production tax on
natural gas as advocated by the In
tenigencer. Senator Crimes warmly
commends the consistent attitude OF
this paper on the matter. aud then
points ont the obstacles that have OBJ
truded in the way OF the passage OF
measures that have been before the
several legislatures. Heretofore the
gas lobby at Charleston has had a
powerful influence in obstructing any
contemplated legislation on this sub
ject. legislators opposed 10 this class
OF legislation have voiced the fear that
their constituents would have 10 pay
the tar.
But. Senator Grimes points out. II
this be true. why do the gas companies
oppose the levying OF the taxi The
consumer can well afford TO pay a
raise OF one cent per thousand cubic
feet. probably totalling ten cents a
month on the average. when he would
indirectly get back from the consum-
ers outside OF the state three cents
Tor every one paid out by him. II is
not believed. however. that the price
OF gas would be raised should a pro-
duction tax be levied on the product.
We are at present deriving no sub
stantial benefits from the nearness OF
the supply of this fuel that we should
enjoy; but. on the contrary, we are
helping TO heat. light and promote the
progress and prosperity OF commurl-
ties without the state

side OF other and equally weighty con
siderations
Senator Grimes advances an inter
esting suggestion in advocating the
enactment OF a law supplemental to a
the encouragement Of the promotion
and location OF industries within the
state. This law should provide for
the payment OF two cents per thou
san cubic feet 10 all consumers in the
state. This. Senator Grimes believes.
would be an inducement to manufac-
turers 20 locate I'm West Virginia. the
attractiveness OF which Is readily ap-
parent Another feature worthy OF
consideration is that the payment OF
this bonus would be without cost 90
the people Of the state. for every two
cents OF bonus there would be re-
turned three cents in production tax.
Just now when the state will stand
in need OF additional revenues to re.
place the liquor license taxes. these
suggestions should have some consid-

seeking ways and means TO raise such

he took means to prevent the body
from coming TO the surface.
While stopping at q local hotel
here last Sunday, Brown wrote
letter to his wife telling her that on
the following day, at noon, he would
end his life by jumping into the ST.

his intent to commit suicide. The
police say the case will stand full

There is some local interest attach
ed to the above as Brown stopped in
an Ocala hotel a day or two before
the letter was written. The manage
ment of the hotel received card
from Mrs Brown asking it to for
ward any mail that might be here
for her husband. She stated that she
supposed he was dead as he wrote
her that he would drown himself on
Monday noon, and she thought he
had done so.

DID MISSING MAN
JUMP INTO THE RIVER

Authorities, after investigating the
case, seem to discredit the belief that
R. G. Brown, a young commercial
travelling man of Americus, Ga,
committed suicide by jumping into
the st. Johns river last Monday.
Careful inquiry has been made of
the rivermen and no report has been
made of body being found in the
river in this vicinity in several days.
The police say that had the man
jumped into the river his body would
surely be floating by this time unless
