II the people of West Virginia are
paying unreasonable high taxes it is
due not to the operations OF the State
government but to the local leyyfng
bodies of the counties and municipal
tiles. The appropriations made for
state purposes have been too meager
rather than too liberal. The story
told by the tables given above ex-
plains the seeming paradox in the
statement that the tax reform move
ment inauguated by the Republican
party has Increased the revenues of
the State and at the same time has
relieved the ordinary taxpayer, so far
ne his contribution to the support of
the State government is concerned.

DESTROYING THE GREAT
DESTROYER.

Another great triumph OF the peo-
ple OF West Virginia during this pc
rod of Republican rule which we have
been reviewing is the passage of the
prohibition amendment and the enact
ment and enforcement of, the Yost
Law by which we have freed ourselves
as a commonwealth from the curse Of
the liquor traffic. The economic and
Industrial loss and waste inflicted on
human society by the great destroy
err is appalling to contemplate. West
Virginia has now taken her stand in
the very front rank Of the states wag-
ing war of determination on that
malign force which has been one of
the most obvious obstacles in the
path OF an advancing civilization
The fight for the prohibition amend
ment was conducted on non-partisan
nlses, but the cause has had the stead
fast sympathy and the powerful aid
of successive Republican admintstra-
tons. and Gov. Hatfield is splendidly
redeeming his campaign pledges in
the way of a vigorous enforcement Of
the prohibition principle through the
agency of the Yost law.

FOR WISE ECONOMY.

Every honest man is in favor of an
economical administration of the
State government, but it is not true
economy to cut down the expenditures
of the State government when the
welfare OF the State and its tnstitu-
lions demands an Increase Of those
expenditures. 1t is not wise economy
to linger in the rear rank of the states
in the matter OF creating new and bet
ter agencies of government, when We
have at hand abundant sources of rev
enue to provide for all the states le-
climate demands. It is neither wise
nor economical to starve our educa-
tional and eleemosynary institutions
in order that big business in alliance
with corrupt politicians may escape
the payment. of its fair share of the
money required to finance the state
government.

WATER POWER DEVELOP.
MENT.

That the machinery of the. future
will be driven, in rapidly increasing
measure, by cheap electric power. gem
Grated by the action of falling water,
is the confident expectation of the en-
gineering world. For the production
of this power of the future West Vtr-
GINA has been wonderfully equipped
by nature. Her rivers are destined to
be a source of power rivaling that
which is now derived from her stores
of coal, oil and gas. Recognizing the
value OF this asset, and prompt to pro
tect 1t from spoliation by the great
corporate interests. our, lawmakers, at
the suggestion of Gov. Glasscock and
with the hearty and earnest approval
and cooperation of Gov. Hatfield. have
enacted the hydro-electric power law
which takes us into anew field of gov
ornamental activity and brings us face
to face with new and important prob
lens. The Republican party has
shown itself alert to protect and to
conserve all the interests of the public
in the laws by which the development
of this new source Of wealth is to be

to care for herself and her two little
brothers but the task was too much
for her and the humane officers took
charge of them as being destitute.
They were taken to the Detention
Home till provisions could be made
for them. Yesterday afternoon The
girl asked to be allowed to 60 back
to her home to get some clothing
and she was accompanied by one OF
the matrons in the home While ir
