SOME TAX T1NKER1NG.

1t is folly for The Times to preach
increased taxation under Republt-
can rule.
The Democrats have given US an
income tax. in addition to other
forms of taxation, and now they are
giving us q war tax Of $100,O00,OO0.
In Fairmont the Democrats have
done little tax 'tinkering OF their
own. We have had within the last
few months, vehicle tax. an In
creased dog tax. many new forms OF
license taxes, an automobile tax. and
we would have had an increased wa
ter tax of about $4,000 per year
added on. plant that Is showing q

a compromise they would have in
creased the expenditures $15o,0O0,-
900 or nearly half million dollars
every working day in the year These
expenditures OF the national govern
ment include the most wanton ex-
travagances, many of them SO fla
grant us TO have been publicly con-
demned by leading members of the
Democratic party itself. The Dis
patch-News submits that in the light
Of the Democratic party's promises
made and broken, and in the midst
Of an era of war tax in the time OF
peace, the criticism which has come
from the Watson dominated press
has come with poor grace.
The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1914-10-06

out that his critics have been without
program, and that they have sin
gled out not even single appropria-
ton to which they could with pro-
prlcty attach their charge Of Tex
travagance." They have resortcd to
| the cxpedient of repeating a certain
sset Of figures which show that the
expenditures Of the state have grown
! instead of remaining at fixed
point.
1t would be too much to expect
from a Democratic press. dominated
by the sinister influence of Watson
and the corporations, any concession
that the increase in expenditures
had followed corresponding in
crease in the state supplemented by
a corresponding increase in the func-
lions of the. state government. The
government Of West Virginia is to-
day performing new functions and
serving new purposes; serving them
efficiently and with profit to its cttl-
Iens. Yet no intelligent person could
lave considered that these new ac-
.tivities could have been made posst-
HE without the necessary increase
in the governmental expenditures.
Added to the development in this
direction has been the necessity OF
rehabitating state institutions, for
which the last legislature merely be-
gan making provisions. Let us turn
to the governors speech for few OF
the figures, to illustrate the state
ment that our need has increased
and that the increased expenditures
have been efficiently and economical
ly rendered.
The administration Of the public
service communication has cost LOT
the fiscal year $72,262:O7.
The last legislature, for the first
time in the history Of the state,
made an appropriation for the BoaFa
OF Health, adding $15,ooo 70 the
states expenses.

sity, where in the last year OF the ad-
! ministration of President Hodges
$4,000 more was expended than in
any preceding year in the institu-
tons history.
The sum of $4,000 was paid out
for needed improvements on the Deaf
and Blind school.
The sum of $4,000 was invested
in a new building at the Industrial
Home for girls.
The sum of s6,595 was invested in
an additional building for the Tuber-
culosis Sanitarium.
The sum of approximately $780,
600 more was expended on the DIFF
ferent departments OF the normal
school, which the Governor points
out was authorized by the Board of
Regents, non-partisan body, whose
expenditures were made necessary by
consideration of the best interests Of
the institutions.
The geological survey cost some
$4,000 more in 1914 than in 1912.
as. the result Of enlargement of it's
labors.
These are only some Of the larger
items Of increase. Not single item
we have mentioned, nor single one
of the smaller expenditures, of which
space forbids a mention here, has
been criticised by the Watson press.
1t dare not assail the administration
OF the institutions which have occa-
stoned the increased expenditures.
It resorts to the blind, narrow, venal
cxpedicnt Of raising prejudice by at
lacking the tables OF figures it has
created itself for its own political
purpose, and confines itself to gilt
tering generalities.
The governor has given the Wat
son press the explanation which It
demanded. But no one need expect
that the Watson press, after having
so studiously misrepresented the sit
ration, will pass that information OF
to the people.
Gov. Hatfield has been honest with
the people. He has told them that
the states institutions stand in need
Of rehabilitation and that more rev.
enue is needed. He has explained
the occasion of increased revenue.
He has created no new offices; he
has administered the affairs of the
state economically. Even under the
activities Of the state gov
eminent the rate of direct taxation is
now less than one-thirdr it was
under the last Democratic admins
tration.
Above all the Dispatch-News be-
1ieves that the voters should consider
well these Democratic promises OF
economy In the light Of the Demo-
cratic performances. The Democratic
party two years ago made the same
