ar being paid by the county, are also
being paid regular monthly salaries by
the road contractors.
The West Virginian demanded an
investigation of these charges, but
none has been made and no denial has
been made except from few of the
contractors, who were not at all impli'
Gated, and in the refusal Of the County
officials, VINO are paid and sworn to pro
tect the tax payers, to investigate these
charges, we find the best possible eyi.
dence that the charges are true.
The charge has been made, and never
denied, that inferior materials were
being used in the construction Of these
roads, and that the tax payers we're be-
ing defrauded of thousands of dollars
in this manner.
The charge has been made, and never
denied, that a II year old, inexperienc.
ed boy was employed as inspector on
the Fairmont district road WORKSHOP
900 road job for political purposes.
These charges reflect upon the honor
and integrity of the county officials
who have had this work in charge, and
their refusal to deny or investigate
them points the finger of suspicion to
we'll planned system of graft and
many believe that the toll the tax
payers will pay on this work will
amount to something like 100000, In

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-From a
official whose knowledge Of the situa
ton is believed to be unquestionabls
it was learned that the last serious
opposition to an increase in freight
rates on the Eastern railroads was re
moved and the Interstate Commerce
Commission formally voted to permit
the 5 per cent advance.
Announcement of the decision will
be made within ten days, probably
next Saturday afternoon. The Com
missions practice in the past has
been to make public in its rulings at
such times in order that business men
may be given an opportunity to dt
gest them.
Under Consideration Long.
The increase in rates now declared
to have been allowed has been under
consideration for eighteen months,
The first application was made in
May, 191S,. and was denied. A month
later the Commission, on its own tni'
tfative, ordered an investigation into
the conditions on which the railroads
based their claim to consideration. 1t
was begun and continued for the en-
suing year.
on July 20 last, just as the first days
of the European war we're working
havoc with the financial markets OF
the world, the Commission denied the
application so far as it concerned
trunk line or Eastern rates, rail and
lake rates and international rates in
official classification territory. In
creases were allowed in Central
Freight Association territory. but the
conditions complained Of chiefly by
he railroads were not materially Of
fected.
On September 10 the Commission
granted a petition for rehearing,
which was held without delay. With
out in any wise offering suggestions to
