 tin real estate association that if the 60 per cent law is repealed the result will be to increase assessments in Jefferson county more nearly to 100 per cent and leave unchanged assessments in many of the other counties. With this club over the property owner money will be raised where 1t is easiest to get it. The real estate association believes it would be a profound mistake for the 50 per cent law to be repealed and thus give this arb- trary power to the taxing officers. We believe that what is needed Is not an increase in the legal rate of assessment, but greater uniformity in assessments throughout the state and greater effici- ency in the administration of our taxing laws. We know that if the general aver ages of assessments can be brought up to anything like 60 per cent of real value the state. the counties and the cities will have all the revenue that is required. This committee appointed by the asso- ciation respectfully invites your consid- eration of this important subject. and would ask from each of you a public expression as to whether or not in the event you are elected. you will oppose any bill looking to a repeal of this 60
 per cent law for the purpose of increas- ing the legal rate of assessments in our county.
 It is further the belief of the mem- bers of this association that there arc too many different officers charged with the duty of assessing property, and that the responsibility of assess- ments is too much divided. We do not believe that there is any need for both the office of county back tax commis- sionsr and the state tax commission as now constituted and clothed with the power of sending clerks and attor- neys into a county to undo and set aside all that has been done by the a tnx nt al 4, CT and any verdict of the board of rev. enue.
 If we are to have a back tax com-
 missioner we believe that he should be

Judge Dayton Help
Br eak State Laws

To the Editor of The Majority:
Will you allow me a few lines in
your valuable paper, the only paper
that the workingmen in this part of
the country can depend upon, to say
few words about the law violations
of Judge Dayton.
was in a lawyers Office short
time ago, and he called my attention
to the law of West Virginia, as it is
found in Chapter 70, section 10 of the
acts of the legislature of 1907, regular
session. Which rweads as follows:
Nor. shall any person or persons,
or combination of persons, by force,
threats, menaces, or intimidation of
any kind, prevent or attempt to pre-
vent from working in or about any
mine, any person or persons who have
the lawful right to work in or about
the same, and who desires so to work;
but this provision shall not be so con-
strued as to prevent any two or more
persons from assoclating together I'M
| Ter the name of Knights of Labor, or
any other name they may desire, for
any lawful purpose, or for using moral
suasion or lawful argument to induce
any one not to work in and about any
mine; any person or persons who
shall violate the provisions of this
section shall, upon conviction, be fin
ed not less than fifty nor more than
five hundred dollars, or be imprisoned
in the county jail not less than ten
lays nor more than ninety days in
the discretion of the court"
What becomes of Judge. Dayton s
ginia. l never knew until the other
opinion that any person who belongs
to a. labor union is a criminal? What
becomes of his injunction which pre-
vents any union man from talking, oil
trying to persuade any person from
working in non-union mine? Either
the Legislature of West Virginia, were
fools, and not competent to pass laws
for the State, or Judge Dayton stands
convicted of the charge against him
that he by his opinion is su5verting
the rights of the people of West Vir
day that this was the law of West
Virginia, rand I write this thinking
that it may be of value to some PEG
: pie who are now making a magnifi
cent fight for the preservation of oul
laws, and for the removal of a judge
who ignores the laws of the State, il
he has made the decision that have
been reported.

WILL DEMONSTRATE
ROAD WORK UNDER
THREE MILE LAWS

Remonstrance to all road improve
ments under the three mile road law
will be filed in the commissioners
court by Richmond man, it was an
nounced today by Ray X. Shiveley, of
the firm Of Shiveley and Shiveley.
Mr.. Shiveley refused to divulge his
clients name but stated that the per-
son will make himself known later
in the week when remonstrance will
be made to the improvement of the
roadway of South Twenty-third street,
in city council.
Mr.. Shiveley stated that his client
believes public opinion is adverse to
| the Improvement of roads until all en-
! cumbrance of tax payers incurred by
road improvements has been relieved.
The board OF county commission
ers has seriously taken under con-
| sideration holding an election in the
| township to determine the public's at
! titude towards the Twenty-third street
! improvement and all similar road i'm
provements which may be contemplate
| ed in the future.
| 1t was Mr.. Shive1ey's suggestion that
this be done and County Attorney
Hoelscher concurred in his opinion
that it will be legal.
| 1t is said stakes are already being
set for the battle against the Fair
view road Improvement for which a
petition will be filed soon This i'm
provement is short of three miles and
is said to have strong backing of Fair
view residents. With these conditions
! the commissioners cannot refuse the
improvement on ordinary grounds.
| A petition was filed Saturday ask
ing for the Improvement of roads in
Washington township.
Because it Is believed the election
petition for to determine on a subsidy
of $4,000 from Boston and Wayne
townships to- the Richmond-Hamilto
Traction company, is mandatory the
board of county commissioners de-
ferred action at today's session until
next Saturday. The board may find a
loop hole which will place in their
hands the responsibility for the cleo.
ton in order to make further investi-
cation.
Unless it is definitely learned that
the election must be held under the
law making elections petitioned for
by twenty-five or more freeholders of
the township mandatory, the commits.
sioners will conduct an investigation
of Eugene B. Purtelle's project.
The commissioners say the propos-
ed traction company is of no especial
benefit to Wayne county, Wayne
township of Boston township-at least
not to the extent of a $4,000 public
subsidy. The territory opened be.
tween here and Hamilton is not of a
character which is expected to bene.
fit the city of Richmond materially
Gus Hoelscher, county attorney
said today that he has found nothing
as yet to indicate that the election
is not mandatory.
