Tax legislation throughout the Unit

a final report on taxation of corpo-
rations presented to President Will

bureau of corporations. One of the
striking features of legislation re-
viewed is New York's secured debts

tax law OF 1911 is considered the
most important tax legislation in the
eastern central and Western central

In later years the same influence
was found Affecting the farms OF New
York. Pennsyl yania. Maryland. ana
Virginia. In another generation we
found the same influence at work IN
Ohio. Michigan, Illinois and Indiana,
and today we findsft at work in iowa,
Kansas Nebraska, Minnesota and the
Dakotas.
To-Day in these wealthy agricultural
states of the Union we find great cities
entirely dependent upon the trade
from the business of farming. THESE
cities are large, thrifty enterprlsiag
and progressive. In fact, they IN al
respects compare favorably Win the
industrial cities of New England, New
Ynr kand Pennsylvania. 1t then is
evident that the farm merits more
serious consideration from the city
mans point of view.
City Depends on County.
The city is dependent upon the
county for It's development more than
! we are accustomed to think, and It's
dependence upon the farm is as great
today as it ever was. For many years
wAhaye recognized the fact that under
tn conl ftions as they have been, the
city has had need to draw strongly

has been noted many times that the
people in the cities who rise to posi-

as 1 rule, country born and country

which 1t affords, the city has drawn
much of the best from the country.

So long as the farmer produced
enough food, so that there was q cheap
supply, the city man was satisfied, but
within recent years radical change
has taken place.

Endorses Freight Rate Increase!
AS previously announced the Fair
mont Chamber of Commerce has
gone on record as favor.ng the in
crease Of freight rates sought by the
railroads Of the country. That body
knows the shippers and merchants
of it's community to be in favor of
such increases for the reason that
the railroads are tied up to a great
extent on account OF being restricted
to freight rate maximums which
handicap their operation and i'm
proyement, and the general business
OF the country is disastrously affected
thereby with a probable paralysis
In sight helped along by legislative
action and agitation.
That the matter is one for urgent
consideration is beyond question and
all bodies and publications which
the general business of the country
are urging the granting of the in
crease asked for by the railroads. The

No Extra Session Needed.

Taylor George, speaker of the
West Virginia House of Delegates,
and Samuel ". Woods, president of.
the West Virginia Senate, want an
extra session of the legislature con-
vened February l. and they are send
ing out letters suggesting such ses-
sion. Threelfiifths of the members of
the legislature can memorabilia the
governor ana thereby call an extra
session, but why not leave the mat
ter to the governor? The only reason
ASSIGNED by George and Woods for
one is that provision must be made
for raising taxes to take the place of
LIQUOR license revenues the next fs-
cal year. The Telegram takes the
position that an extra session is not
needed and in it's judgment when one
is needed the governor will recog-
nize the fact and call one.
Why there is no necessity for an
extra session now is shown by the
Wheeling Intelligencer as follows:
At the present time, no present
business requires an immediate ses-
sion of the legislature. The Virginia
debt case is not in condition to enable
the legislature 20 act and will not be
for several months At the last ses-
sion, non-partisan commission was
created. The members of this body
have been appointed and have devel-
oped a new line of defense for the
protection of West Virginia's inter-
ests. Until further action is taken
by the supreme court or some new
suggestion a comes frQtaA Virginia,
there will be nothing more definite
for the West Virginia legislature 10
consider than it had a year ago.
If the state finances require added
taxation on account of the loss of the.
liquor revenues. the governor of the
state will be the first to know this
and will doubtless take necessary ac-
ton.
Extra sessions of legislatures are
not as rule popular in West vir-
gfnia and any effort to call one over
the head of the governor should such
action be contemplated, will be fore
doomed to failure

Baker on Stand.
Floyd Baker, bookkeeper for e
control board, was the only witness
examined this morning Much of his
testimony dealt with the practice OF
splitting contracts between competing
bidders practiced by the present as
we'll as by previous boards, chiefly
with the idea of giving to the several
institutions the brands or classes of
supplies specially preferred by their
respective heads. Baker testified to
his belief that this practice has dis
couraged bidders from competing and
that if continued will ultimately work
to the disadvantage of the state.
eff the bidding were left to me /
should split no bids whatever except
on few items such as clothing. where
a single bid could not be SO made as
to cover all institutions. There would
be no division Of contracts for coffee,
teas and many other articles now

stitution superintendent" declared he.
State Buys Close.
Most of the largest manufacturers
of flour in Kans do not compete for
the states business because the state
buys on a closer margin than they can
command in the general market, ac-
cording to Mr.. Baker. The flour con-
tracts are divided among millers SO
that the supply is usually furnished by
the manufacturer closest to each instf-
tuition because the narrowness OF the
profit would not allow the miliers to
pay freight rates on the longer hauls.
Some testimony was taken to show
that an additional contract for an ex-
tension to the boiler house at the
Larned hospital for the insane was let
to the original contractor, involving
about $4,000 without calling for bids.
The original work was barely COM
pleted when the extension was or
dered.
