Let us observe how Mesdame Munds, senatoress,
acted when called to temporarily preside over the
Arizona senate, the other day.
With firm, quick steps and amidst applause, she
passed down the asle mounted the rostrum and
seized the gavel. The grip with which she seized
the gavel produced great silence, it so reminded
the senate Of boyhood days when mother seized the
hair brqlsh or stove-lid litter. But Presidentress
Munds did not throw the gayel She promptly and
vigorously raped for ORDER and got it, and in seven
minutes all Of Senate Bill No. had been read and
approved. Then, the lady turned and asked OF the
real president, "What shall do now?"
For this question she is being laughed at but why!
It was an innovation, but good one. Heretofore
presiding officers have been in the habit OF either
turning to some lobbyist and asking ''What shall
do now9, or have gone ahead with some program
previously arranged by some private interest to
work the senate.
Woman in office is going to ask that question
whole lot Of times in years to come and the answer
isn't going to hoodwnk her bit oftener than 1t has
man.
Cheers for Senatoress Mund's beginning! She
promises to do what she knows should be done, and
not to go it blind, when she doesn't know. 1t is

The tariff has been in operation something over

Senator Gallinger, one of the wind TANNERS who
propose to talk the shppurchase bill to death, says;
hHow long it will take to get arguments against
the measure before the nation it is impossible to
predict"
We can predict it, all right 1t will take forever.
What Burton, Smooth, Gallinger, ct al are getting
off against that bill isn't argument; it's wind The
argument all in days ago, and the nation thor
oughy understands that what is now being given it
Is Just talk for the sake of talk and impress
sve than would be the blowing of fishhons ring

Under senate procedure, there are two ways in
which to kill good measure. One is to get ma
iority vote against it, The other is play against it

mistaken if he thinks the nation is worrying because

20 thank the Times and All the other
newspapers of the state which spok.
of me in this connection. the object
in referring to this is to correct the
come he pays his property tax Just
the same. No reasonable tax based
on net income, which is all profit,
can be unjust. No class OF people are
better able to pay taxes than those
who are making a Net income and no
other class can long pay any amount
of taxes unless there is a net profit.
In addition to paying the $3.50. 900 en-
joyed as special privilege these COM
pan1es should pay an additional tax TO
build good roads to give all the peo-
pie who in the opinion OF Prof. Wiley,
as expressed in the bar some time ago,
something for their fast disappearing
birthright.
The Times has never opposed a tax
on the drayman for the special priv
ilege of hauling trunks scrap iron or
flour through the city of Fairmont.
Does not this drayman pay a tax on
his horse and wagon at Its true and &C
tual value? 1t has not objected to
the pool room proprietor paying a II
cense tax for the special privilege of
running a pool table. although he pays
a property tax on this property. The
fact is that direct tax for state pur-
poses would be unjust because every
county has a different standard of val,
ues and the assessors being only hu-
man cannot always assess the same
class of property in each county the
same. The direct tax should only ap-
ply for local purposes and then there
will be no inequality OF values. The
Dawson tax laws have for their pur-
pose the plan of removing the direct
state tax and this plan was concurred
in by the state tax commission com
posed of both Democrats and Republi-
cans. II the Times will take the pains
to interview 100 of It's Democratic
readers it will discover that at least
seventy-fve per cent OF them do not
agree with it when It advocates the d.
rect state tax and l have had many
of the most prominent Democrats in
F'airmont tell me SO.

From the time the trained kanga-
roos, Big Bob and Long Tom"
start their three.round boxing bouts
with their sparrihg partners, until the
clown bear, Tony, cuts his capers in
the hippodrome track, there is not an
idle moment in that portion OF the

which has been dedicated to trained
animals.
The kangaroos, who wrestle and
leap hurdles i'll addition to giving tistiq
exhibitions, are exceptional among
animal talent, and the clown bsar
possesses a real sense of humor. BUT
accompanying these performers are
scores of others even more marvellous.
There are three troupes of wonderful
seals who play at basketball. ride
horses, give concerts on IA different
musical instruments and perform feats
of juggling which surpass human at
tainments. There are five herds of
trained elephants. including the fam
Gus nursery TROUPE of pickanniny
pachyderms. These pondrous fellows
dance the latest tangos, give an imita-
ton of a minstrel band. operate and
talk over telephones, play at cards
and Billiards and walk ropes. There
are a dozen bands of beautiful trained
horses and knowing ponies. These
are seen IN q progression OF dances
extending from the quardrille to the
modern hesitation waltz and the
grape vine" Other troupes reared
upon their hind legs. march to the
ra-ta-tat-tat of drums like soldiers,
jump through great barrels or, stand
ing in them, are whisked out of the
rings. Still others of snow-white coats
pose as silent as marble statues in
representations of great paintings.
Added to these are trick mules, pigs,

in living pictures or ride horseback.

A REPLY TO THE TIMES.

Editor of The West virginIan. Dear
Sir: The Times of Tuesday morning
asked me some direct questions to
which would like to reply through
the columns of your paper
The article requiring this attention
In part, is as follows:
Mr. Davis, who is a prospective
state office holder, and who has been
signing the editorials in The West Vir-
gintan, says that the corporations OBJ
1ect to paying reasonable taxation?
What doees he mean by reasonable
taxation?" The gas companies, for in
stance, pay for taxes each year four
percent of the value of their product
Coal corporations do practically the
same. And the governors forces in
the legislature tried to add from three
q TO ten per cent additional. If four
per cent Is not reasonable taxation"
against whom does the weight OF rea-
on fall, the corporations or the state?"
It affords me the greatest pleasure
TO be able to accommodate The Times
in this particular.
The Times undertakes to discredit
snything might have SAID in these
! columns relative to state taxation on
the theory that l am "a prospective
state Office holder" The Times well
knows that am not nor have not
been an Office seeker in any manner.
The Republican party did honor me
! with the nomination for the Senate
last fall without my asking for the
place and although the district had
twice before elected Democrats. and
although, there was the Bull Moose
vote of over thousand in the district
lost to the Republican ticket ! accept
ed this nomination at sacrifice and
as a matter of duty which think any
man owes his party.
! am not, nor have l ever been,
seeker of any state office. One of the
prominent members of the Times edi-
torial STAFF was kind enough last win
ter to mention my name in connection
J with an appointment as Public Ser
VICE Commissioner and stated in the
Times that the solid Democratic dele
g3tion from Marion county was for me
rdf the place. This was the means or
start;aS round of comment through
tln b-eS5 of the state that was COM
psmentary. No application was made
by me for this position at that time
nor since, and none will be made.
After the resignation of Mr.. Kilmer
the commission was left without
quorum, with only two members, and
3as there was much pressing business
before the commission and the law re-
quires that one lawyer be on the COM
mission, which was not the case after
Mr.. Kilmer resigned. the Governor
made an excellent selection in naming
the Hon. Elliott Northcott to fill the
vacancy caused by the death OF the
Hon. Howard N. Ogden. of this city.
This appointment met universal ap-
proval by the people who understand
Mr.. Northcott's eminent qualifications
for this high position and as far as
am concerned 1 believe that the Gov
ernor can do no better than retain Mr..
Northcott upon this commission IL ne
can do SO.
1t certainly is no dishonor to be
mentioned in connection with place
Of this importance, place paying
greater salary than that of the gov
ernor, and one carrying great re-
sponsibility, and take this opportunity

DOING A GOOD WORK.

The Civic Department of the Wom-

for their work in cleaning up Coal Run.
possessed OF scenic beauty of high

a beautiful city park, and it is to be
hoped that the future will see the city
the owner of Coal Run either by gift
or purchase.
