OLD DEBT
Judgment viii Be Easy to Pay,
if Real Value of Property
is Actually Made.
CBy Farmer.)

LOST CREEK. June 26--Twelve
million dollars sounds big but it is
comparatively small when you con-
slider our vast present and prospec-
tive wealth. The assessed value OF
all the property OF West Virginia IS
more than twelve hundred millions
Twelve million dollars is only one
per cent on our valuation This the
rich are able to pay and the poor pay
no property tax.
The actual and true value OF the
property In West Virginia is far in
excess of the assessed value As evil
dence of this fact the Higg1nbotham
farm was sold this week at over ISL
per acre, assessed at S44 per acre
Much property in CIarksburg would
sell for four times its assessed value.
and on the actual value OF all the
properly in West Virginia. the twelve
million dollars does not represent
more than si1-tenths OF one per cent,
not counting the secreted property
that amounts to millions
The ten thousand juggernauts
owned In West Virginia have cost
more than twelve million dollars. an
average OF twelve hundred dollars
each All this money has left the
state and on these +dreadnaughts We
never. stop payment. Gasoline, oil
and repairs add twenty-five per cent
to the original cost annually. We
are Increasing In value so rapidly
that Is the twelve million were bond
ed to be paid in twenty, thirty or for
ty years we could pay it and never
feel 1t.
Our own commissioners appointed
by the legislature more than fifty
years ago, reported that we owed
Virginia approximately one million
dollars One million dollars at COM
pound interest for fifty years since
June 20, 1853. would amount to
twenty-five million dollars
Whether the debt is just or unjust.
the supreme court has said we owe
it and its decree is final and steps
should be taken Immediately to set
tie. While it is true that. the certi-
hcate holders paid out little. from two
to FIVE per cent, they bought lot
terry ticket and have luckily won the
prize.
We are not bankrupt and we can't
stand the stigma of liquidation

Of age Miss Miller has been dane
ing ever since she was four, but until
last year she had to be content to
play IN cities other than New York.
