THE LEGISLATURE.

The West Virginia Legislature convened
in its regular biennial session in Charles
ton yesterday, and was organized by inc
Republicans, who are in a majority IN
both branches. E. T. England, OF Logan
county, was elected president OF the
Senate, with John 7. Harris, OF Parkers-
burg, clerk; Will E. Long, OF Middle
bourne. sergeant alarms; Jack Smith, OF
Huntington, doorkeeper In The House
of Delegates Vernon E. Johnson, OF
Berkeley Springs, was elected speaker;
!. Guy Pritchard, OF Fairmont, clerk !;
DR.. Geo. w. Otto, OF Wheeling, sergeant
alarms and A. w. Davis, OF Harrison
county, doorkeeper. The Democrats
honored c. L. Shaver, Of Marion county,
by giving him the nomination for speaker
of the House, and Fred L. Fox, OF BraX-
ion county, was nominated for president
OF the Senate.
The message of Governor Henry D..
Hatfield is a very comprehensive docu-
ment, dealing with all phases OF State
business. The Governor recommends
the adoption OF many new laws, among
which are laws for State primary cleo
tons; aboliShing the fee system for coun-
ty officers; corrupt practices act; the
initiative, referendum and recall; regula-
ton OF child labor; free text books; a
simplified ballot reform in judicial pro-
cedure, etc. The Governor goes into the
management OF the various State inslltu-
tons and makes many important recon-
mendations concerning them. He also
shows in detail the condition ofthe State S
finances, and how the money has been
expended. The message is very clear
and satisfactory and we regard il as one
OF the ablest and most progressive docu-
ments issued from the Governors Office
in a long time. We hope that most OF It's
recommendation may be adopted.

Genuine Hardness.

A fact concerning modern religious
activity. which seems to have escaped
general remark. is that Christians
know better how to play than ever
before. In the normal times of re-
cent years visitor at one of the sum
mer conferences Of the student Young
Mems Christian association, for in
stance. would be surprised and de-
lighted at the hearty good times which
the delegates enjoyed. Christian En-
deavor, too. has taught young people
how to play. The whole conception
OF recreation and it's place in life has
received new attention of late years.
Anybody who is seeking for it may
find abundant evidence that there is
more genuine happiness and intelli-
gent pleasure among Christians than
among the followers of frivolity.-

PAYROLL Of
CIVILIZATION MET
BY FARMER
WANTS NO "DEADHEADS" ON
LIST OF EMPLOYEES.
A CALL UPON THE LAW MAKERS
TO PREVENT USELESS TAX
UPON AGRICULTURE.
BY Peter Radford


Lecturer National Farmers Union
The farmer is the paymaster OF
industry and as such he must meet
the nations payroll When industry
pays its bill it must make sight
draft upon agriculture for the amount,
which the farmer Is compelled TO
honor without protest. This check
drawn upon agriculture may travel to
and fro over the highways of COM
merce; may build cities; girdle the
globe with bands of steel; may search
hidden treasures in the earth or
traverse the skies, but in the end it
will rest upon the soil. No dollar
will remain suspended in midair; IL is
as certain to seek the earth S surface
as an apple that falls from tree.
When a farmer buys pillow he pays
the man who mined the metal, the
woodman who felled the tree, the
manufacturer who assembled the raw
material and shaped ii into an ar
ticle OF usefulness, the railroad that
transported it and the dealer who
sold him the goods. He pays the
wages OF labor and capital employed
ia the transaction as we'll as pays
for the tools. machinery, buildings,
etc, used in the construction OF the
commodity and the same applies to
all articles of use and diet of him
self and those engaged in the sub
sidiary lines of industry.
There is no payroll In civilization
that does not rest upon the back
of the farmer. He must pay the bills
all OF them.
The total value Of the nations
animal agricultural products is around
$12. 100000, 600. and It is safe to esti-
mate that 81 cents on every dollar
goes to meeting the expenses of sub
sidiary industries The farmer does
not work more than thirty minutes
per day for himself the remaining
thirteen hours Of the days toll he
devotes to meeting the payroll OF the
hired hands of agriculture, such rs
the manufactured railroad CONNER
Cial and other servants.
The Farmers Payroll and How He
Meets 1t.
The annual payroll OF agriculture
aprroximates $l2,000,000,0 200. A por-
ton OF the amount is shifted TO for
eign conntftes I'M exports, but the
total payroll of industries working for
the farmer divides substantially as
follows: Railroads, sl,252,000,000;
manufacturers, s4,365,o0O,OOO; mining,
S655,000,000; banks 100000 900;
mercantile $3,5O0,O0O, 900, and a heavy
miscellaneous payroll constitutes the
remainder.
Il takes the corn crop, the most
valuable in agriculture, which sold
last year for sl.692. 100000, to pay OFF
the employees Of the railroads; the
money derived from our anfhlaI sales
of livestock of approximately $1,000
100000, the yearly cotton crop, valued
at $4,000 ,000 the wheat crop,
which is worth 500, 100000, and the
oat crop, that is worth $i40,000,o00.
are required to meet the annual pay
roll of the manufacturers The
money derived from the remaining
staple crops is used In meeting the
payroll of the bankers, merchants,
etc. After these obligations are paid,
the farmer has only a few punches OF
vegetables, some fruit and poultry
which he can sell and call the pro-
ceeds his own.
When the farmer pays off his helm

that the men who as a rule try for
