Where the Money Goes

The usefulness of one and possibly
more departments OF the state has
been seriously impaired because of
the fact that so much OF the funds of
such departments have to be used for
salaries of useless employees instead
OF for the public. AS an example of
this the pure seed law passed by the
last Legislature is almost a dead let
ter. The commissioner of agriculture
has let il be understood that he can
only enforce the provisions of the law
insofar as an inspection OF the seeds
handled by wholesalers, because of
lack OF funds. Ample funds would
be available but for the fact that c.

department of agriculture although
there Is no authority in law for such
an appointment. The money which
otherwise might be expended for max
Ing the seed law effective is going To
defray a man who was appointed to
satisfy political obligation. In short
the departments of the state govern
ment are not being used so much for
the public good as they are for politi-
cal purposes. Under its present adj
ministration the department of agri-
culture is probably the most useless
department of the whole government
Inc experiment station at Morgan
town is the only part of the depart
ment which has been of any practical
service to the state and the commits

cal value to the state The impetus
TO farming in West Virginia has not
come through any announcement of
the commissioner of agriculture. but
principally through the experiment
station. In short the office of commits
sioner of agriculture is practically
useless as it is now constituted and
yet the commissioner is seeking re-
election.-Randolph Review.

TRYING TO DECEIVE

The Wheeling Intelligencer objects to
the West Union Record calling attention
to the Republican party promise to abol-
ish the direct state tax levy and charges
the wicked Democrats" with preventing
the Republicans from fulfilling their
promises to the taxpayers, which is about
as near the truth as that publication
usually gets.
1t cites the 35c levy under Democratic
administrations, but fails to state that a
lac levy under a quadrupled assessment
under "tax reform" amounts to SIC on
the 500 valuation as against Soc under
Democratic, or an increase of dc more
than the Democratic levy.
1t asserts that the Republican party
reduced the state tax to the minimum
OF one cent is another one made out OF
the whole cloth of fabrication. 1t was a
Democratic legislature that reduced it to
one cent, to be followed by Republican
Legislature which increased it TO ten cents
and later to II cents.
With senate composed of twenty-one
Republicans and nine Democrats the
lntelligencer declares the Democrats pre-
vented the Republicans from passing that
legislation which would have been a
fulfllment OF their promises. What rot (!
Was it the Democrats who forced sena-
tors Arlington Bliss McCrum and Samuel
Oliver Billings and delegate Carleton
Christopher Pierce to resign 80 Governor
Henry Drury Hatfield might appoint
them to more lucrative public office?
Was 1t the Democrats who compelled
the board Of public works TO reduce the
assessment of the gas and oil industries
Sl,75O, 300? Does it think ii is deceiying
the taxpayers OF West Virginia by such
transparent misrepresentation?
Its charge that the loss OF 500, 900 by
the liquor license caused the deficit is
equally untrue. How could the loss OF
s7Oo,00 create a deficit Of 81, 500, 900?
Why does the Intelligence Insist on It's
misrepresentation?

Doc Expounds The Law

From the news columns OF Mr.. Og-
den's Intelligencer we gather good
deal OF additional light upon the Gov
ernor's famous speech TO the Method
list conference in which he threatened
TO send the state militia to Ohio coun-
ty. According to the Ogden publica-
ton the ubiquitous Doc McCuaig was
on hand.
1t seems that Brother McCuaig read
to the conference sections OF the state
constitution giving the Governor the
power to remove officials for non-en-
forcement of the law and the power
to call out the militia. II would be
reasonable TO suppose that every in
habitant OF West Virginia not detain-
ed In Spencer or Weston, already
knows that the Governor can call out
the militia. But somehow or other
since first Doc McCuaig crossed the
Alleghanies into West Virginia his
campaign for eugenics has taken the
form OF expounding the common and
statute law and boosting our governor.
Whether Doc read the law to the
conference to prove the way for the
Governors speech is not set out in
the news dispatches, but the Intelli-
gencer says that the Gov spoke after
the Docs expounding OF Che law, and
that he said:
III the prohibition department can
not enforce the laws OF West Virginia
L will. according to my prediction
promise, make effective the state en-
actment in Ohio county If it requires
the State militia to do So
Does this mean that the Governor

might clear IL by stating who it is that
he is going after. We have missed

Praising Secretary Daniels for his
organization OF the naval advisory
board. Hudson Maxim said at the
meeting OF the American Defense So
ciety:
at is a great big. noble thing that
Mr.. Daniels has done. His comman-
deering and organizing the abilities
and genius OF the country for national
defense is the biggest thing that has
been done yet for our security
1t is the biggest thing done for ma
tional security because II is the first
thing done TO marshal for the coun-
try's aid its great resources OF civilian
talent on which II must rely for de-
Tense. The merit OF the plan is the
recognition OF the fact that prepared
ness consists less in the size of a
standing army than in the brains OF
the men who by inspiring the coun-
try's great progress in industry have
given an earnest OF what they could
| do for II In war
Yet in establishing the naval advis-
| DRY board the government has hardly
begun to utilize its wealth OF potential
defenders. There are thousands upon
thousands OF engineers with techni-
cal training whose education for the
industrial pursuits has rendered them
available for war-men equipped To
direct the construction of trenches or
the erection of Notifications: who
would be invaluable for stan duty or
for artillery service. They constitute
a national reserve of the highest tech
nical intelligence. an army" discip-
lined in the training camps of the
scientific schools and the instituts OF
technology.
If the European war has proved
anything, it has proved that modern
warfare is a contest OF scientists more
than OF mere soldiers. The great thing
about Secretary Daniels plan is that
1t goes to the true sources OF prepared
ness and to the quarters where the
foundations of security, under modern
conditions of warfare, lie. Its radical
innovation is in adapting the peace
genius of the nation to the common
defense.-New York World

CHARGES WITHOUT EVIDENCE

III Mr.. Townsend was honest and right
as tax commissioner working under his
official oath he Is a scoundrel as an attor-
ney. He is dishonest in one or the other
OF these cases. We are inclined to think
1t is the latter.-Journal.
How reckless the Journal is in it's char
acterizations of dishonest" "scoun-
drel, thief and similar epithets which
II hurls at those who do not measure up
to its standard OF partisan politics. Here
is .ex-State Tax Commissioner Townsend
who is charged with being dishonest.
Does the Journal submit any evidence to
prove Mr.. Townsend dishonest? No.
Has jury OF his peers, before the proper
tribunal, after hearing the evidence,
found him guilty OF dishonesty? No.
Then upon what evidence does the Jour
nn find him dishonest2 None whatever.
1t is simply making partisan changes in
the hope OF creating sentiment that may
help in bolstering up its charge that the
Steele audit was illegal.
Admitting TOR the sake OF argument
that the Steele audit was illegal, does
that prove that the members of the
county court and Mr.. Townsend are dis
honest? Undoubtedly no. II il proves
anything 1t simply proves that they erred,
common.Ifailure among the human
family, except the estimable and cour-
teous editor of the Journal.
But it has not been proven by the
proper tribunal that the members OF the
court and Mr.. Townsend erred, and I'M
til such tribunal passes upon the legality
OF the action OF the court there is no law,
human or divine, that gives the editor OF
the Journal license to call people "dis-
honest" ''scoundrels' and thieves
because they refuse to accept his brand
Of politics.
1t is easy to discern the motive which
underlies this TRADE OF abuse OF the
members OF the county court. It's a
clumsy effort on the part of the Journal
to divert attention from the enormous
increase in the tax ticket under the Daw.
son tax laws which the Journal 80 We.
hementlY declared would LOWER the
taxes OF the common people. But il
shall fail in its attempt. The people
know who is responsible for the increase
in the state appropriations from 81, 6OO,,
600 to approximately $50, 000,0 900.
