Cannot Understand.

We cannot understand why Bro.
Lavelle of the W est Virginia Argus
cannot understand plain English.
We always try to couch our writing
In language so plain that no one
can misunderstood; but it seems
that the edi or in the county
famous for "Buckwheat" has not
understood US. Among other para
graphs in an article in regard TO the
new tax laws the Argus of March
18th contained the following:
"Bro. McDougal offers as an ex-
cuse for the increase in the farmers
taxes that the taxes of the corpora
tlon has been increased, forgetting
TO mention that the promise was
that the increase would be In the
corporations taxes aud a CORES
ponding decrease In the farmers
And on this point Bro. MeDougal
must stand or tall. We demand
that he meet the issue squarely
without evasion or equivocation
Our contention is that the Dawson
tax laws have increased the taxes OF
the farmer and workmsn, which the
advocates of the laws declared
would reduce them"
We never offered an excuse for
the increase in the farmers taxes;
have always contended and do now
contend that the farmers taxes have
been materially decreased by reason
OF the passage Of wha. is known a.
the dawson Tax Law" IT'S true
the corporations now pay more taxes,
but the laborer and the farmer pav
much less than they formerly paid.
If our dear, deluded brother of
the Argus will allow his memory TO
stretch back to Democratic admins
tration times in West Virginia he
can readily discover the good effects
of the new tax law. In the Demo-
cratic times the corporations paid
only a small per ceHtage of the taxes
and the farmer and laborer, the
"commOn people" as it were, paid
the major portion of the taxes. Now
1t is different. But unless the Re
publicaDs and Progressives join
forces and work together we are
liable to go back to the times when
the corporations, the moneyed IN.
terests, will again issue large dlvi-
dends, much larger than they do
now, and the tax burdens of the la
borer and the farmer will be in.
creased many fold.

While Spicer was waiting for the bird
to turn. so as to become q favorab bic

him. Before the hunter could fire the
hawk was upon him. Spicer threw up
ms left hand to guard his face and
the hawks talons pierce his hands.
Spicer soon bore the hawk to the
ground, and, getting his knife from his
pocket with his free hand, cut the
leaders in the hawks legs. In this
