al arbitrary and summary ruling
to discontinue waste matter going
into the rivers would mean that
scores Of mines and industries, many
OF them the largest in the state,
would be shut down for an Indefinite
period and would throw thousands of
men out Of employment and for this
reason the state officials claim that
they are trying to work out the
problem deliberately and with the
idea Of conserving the best interests
of the state. It is stated by Mr..
ViQuesney, whose plans have the ap-
provaal of Governor Hatfield that it
Is not the intention to needlessly

mediately to take care of the pollu-
ton from their plants and thereby
free the streams from pollution and
contamination.
Settling Pools
The only method of preventing
the pollution from tanneries, pulp
mills and other similar industries in
West Virginia." said Mr.. Viquesney,
has been by constructing settling
polls and even this has not proved a
success for the reason that the set
Ting pool soon becomes SO polluted
and contaminated that It does not
prevent the poisonous matter from
escaping to the streams. The long

Governor and Game and Fish
Warden Hold Conference
with That End in View.
es,EelAl 70 rn. rEl.eaAn,

CHARLESTON, July 13.-For the
purpose Of outlining a policy to be
pursued in preventing the pollution
of various rivers In the state, amonng
which are some OF the largest
streams. Governor Hatfield has been
conferrinng the last few days with
the state forest, game and fish war
den. j. A. Viquesney.
Many complaints have recently
been heard in re2lrd to the pollution
of waters and the state administra-
ton will wage a vigorous campaign
to correct this evil. During the un-
usual dry weather Of the last several
months, the pollution in many
streams has become more noticeable
than ever before, not only making
the water In number Of the rivers
deleterious to fish life, but also unfit
for domestic use AMI injurious to the
public health. Warden viquesney
has been making visits to the var
ious Industries throughout the state,
whose waste matter goes into the
rivers for the purpose of formulat-
ing some efficient method by which
this pollution may be entirely elm
mated or reduced to minimum.
To Utilize Waste.
1t is stated that already the Par
sons Pulp and Paper Company at
Parsons has begun the construction
of a by-product plant for the purpose
of utilizing the waste material thar
has heretofore been permitted to flow
into and pollute the Cheat river.
Other similar industries have signi-
fled a willingness to construct such
plants as soon as it is detrmined that
they can be made practical and ef-
fectiye. To gain information that
will aid in this experimental work.
Mr.. Viquesney will spend the next
several weeks visiting the paper
mills and tanneries of Pennsylvania,
Virginia and other adjoining states
for the purpose of collecting data
and comparing methods.
Few persons realize the enormity
of the problem. which the state ofIi-
cials are now trying to solve. 1t is
extremely difficult and is being given
the best thought OF both state and

BOARD OF EQUALIZATION
AMENDMENT ADOPTED

What is known as the state board
Of equalization amendment to the
state constitution was adopted by
a large majority at the recent cleo
tion. The amendment gives the
state board of equalization the
right to value every dollars worth
of property in the state for assess
ment purposes. The board will be
composed of the governor, score
tary of state, state treasurer, state
auditor and attorney general.
In times past the state board of
equalization has only had the right
to value inter-county property and
during the past year it has had the
right to value public utilities. The
assessors valued the remainder of
the property. Under the present
amendment the assessors become
merely advisers to the board. They
list the property and the board fol-
lows their recommendation if it
deems best to do 80. The state
tax commission will be retained
and act as adviser of the board as
to property valuations. Hereto
fore if the state board of equaliza-
ton felt that piece of property
was valued too low by the assessor
all it could do was to order a raise
in the valuation of all the property
In that county. Under the new
order of things the state board can
order raise on the valuation of
any property or any piece of prop
erty.

1t seems that because Pete Bow
ers did not reply to a letter written
to him by the Saguache county
w. @. II. U, asking him for state
ment regarding his position on the
wet and dry proposition, that or
ganization turned in and defeated
him at the recent election. Bow
ers is poor crippled man of ex-
oellent reputation and character
and was a candidate for assessor.
This strikes us as about the worst
example Of pernicious political ac-
tivity shown by the adherents Of
the dry cause in the election.

AN ELASTIC CURRENCY

With the opening of the twelve
federal reserve banks last Monday,
the nation will begin actual opera
tion of its new currency system
designed to produce an elastic cir
culating medium based upon mod
ern ideas of finance and economies.
1t has taken the reserve bank or
ganizatlon committee and the fed
eral reserve board almost twelve
months to work out details of Or
ganization to the point where an
opening date was chosen.
More than $25O,OOO,OOO of the
new notes have been ordered by
the comptroller of the currency for
the twelve banks. The reserve re-
quirements will release about $464,-
100000 now tied up in reserves
and will afford far greater oppor-
tunities for a borrower to get a
hearing and a loan. Within the
next six months all business will
reap the benefits to be derived
from an easy money market.

HOW TO SECURE
CHEAPER COAL AND OIL

The Cheaper Fuel league has is
sued bulletin from its headquar-
ters at the national capital which
contains highly interesting infor-
nation to all consumers of GOAL,
kerosene and gasoline. We give
below some extracts from this pub
lication:
Anthracite coal 80 a ton, BIZ
luminous $2, gasoline four cents
and coal oil three cents gallon.
That is what the Cheaper Fuel
league is going to bring about
whenever enough people who are
disgusted at being compelled to
pay to trusts and monopolies 81 to
SO instead of SO, or l3 to 30 cents
instead of 3 or 4 cents, wake up
and exercise their political power
in the right way to compel con-
gress to grant relief by passing a
bill introduced in congress by Rep
resentative Bailey of Pennsylva-
MIA, which authorizes the secretary
of the interior to lease any public
lands in the United States or in
any of its possessions containing
deposits of coal or oil, and that
hereafter the mineral rights in
such lands shall not be sold or let
on any terms other than as pro-
vided in the bill. The rent for
coal lands shall be payable annu-
ally, beginning two years after the
date of the lease. The rent shall
be $50 per acre for each foot of
thickness of coal, subject to de-
duction of III for each ton of coal
produced during the preceding
year. There shall be payable an
nually, beginning one year after
the date of the lease, a sum equal
to $40 per day per acre for each
acre not kept producing at its nor
NAL capacity. Failure to pay any
rent when due shall operate to ter
inmate the lease.
"Under this law no lessee could
afford to take land and hold it out
of use, and those who took out 2.5
per cent of the deposit each year
would have no rent to pay. When
this bill becomes law 100000
acres of good coal lands and abun-
dant oil lands will be made access
ible to producers rent free, and the
independents will then produce coal
and oil to the extent of at least 80
or 40 per cent more than is now
produced. With the increased sup
ply prices will fall and continue to
fall until they reach level where
an adequate but not excessive
profit is fixed by healthy competi-
ton. The only losers will be the
monopolists, who are getting two
to five times the prices they ought
to get.
"The bill is now in the hands of
the house committee on public
lands. Congressman Edward T.
Taylor is member of the CON-
mittee, and persons desiring copies
of the bill can secure them by
addressing him at Washington,
d. c."
