N ENTAIL ANGUISH

The Argus is bowling about the State
administrator failures, but it fails to
tell its readers about the miserable failure
the administration at Washington IL
making. Preston County Journal.
We regret to note that the Preston
County Journal is unduly excited over
that 81, 100000 deficit in the state 4
finance, otherwise its vigilance in such
matters would compel it to admit that
the national administration has been
legislating for the whole people for the
past two years, and in appreciation OF
this the people endorsed the Wilson adj.
ministration by giving the president both
branches of congress for the next two
years, an endorsement which no presi-
dent has received in fifty yeare after the
passage OF tariff bill.
In an unguarded moment, due no
doubt to mental stress, the Journal vieor.
ously denied there was any deficit. but
when confronted by the admission of the
governor, the auditor and state tax COM
missioner that an enormous deficit did
exist. and il the legislature did not pro-
vide ways and means to tax the people tn
raise more revenue the state would he
plunged deeper into debt, which means
the Dawson tax laws will have TO be re-
vised and amended. We can appreciate
the anguish which this must bring TO the
Journal sanctum, Inasmuch az it was the
valiant champion Of the Dawson tax
laws and promised the farmer and the
poor man large reduction in their tax
receipts just as soon as the tax laws were
put into operation, but 80 far the tax
receipt has been increasing year by wear
without one word of explanation from
the Journal. Is it not legitimate TO in
quire Why no explanation OF this increase
in taxation and this gigantic deficit under
tax reiormP' The taxpayers are won
dering where this increase in taxation

a decided increase over that Of 1913, and
with the governor calling for ''more
revenue and asking the legislature 10

OUTRAGEOUS

Have you lifted your tax receipt for
1914? II you have not, you can prepare
to pay ten per cent interest after January
LIST until it is lifted. The customary six
per cent interest was not enough tor the
tax reformers." They knew that the
corporations and those in moderate cir
cumstances would pay their taxes in
time to save the discount, but the poor
man would be the one in all probability
who would not be able to meet the tax
receipt by the end of the year. So, in
order to tighten his burden ten per cent
interest was added after the first OF the
year. What a farce. Still the "tax re-
formers" will tell you tins was done in
the interest of the poor man Do you
believe it? Have not the operations of
the Dawson tax laws proven, as far as
fulfilling their promises, that they are
gigantic fraudP
