Every railroad that has beeh built
in West Virginia, with the possible
exception of the Ohio river branch Of
the Baltimore and Ohio, was project
ed because of the coal deposits. The
railroads likewise pay enormous sumo
into the state treasury for taxation.
Credit for that should be given to the
coal industry. which invited their
construction.
At the fourteen cent rate OF taxa
ton for state purposes levied for the
current !sear and based upon the as
sessed valuations of 1914, the nine
counties named will pay the sum Of
$424,966.04. minus the ordinary ae-

During the year, probably zoe, 900
people in the United States will con-
tract typhoid fever. The average
period Of invalidism will be more
than a month for every case develop
ing, SO that the economic loss. even il
recovery does ensueh can be reckoned

Moreover, this Is an annual toll
and represents the minimum fatal

there is some dimunition IN the total
