The IntelIigencer has pointed out
these inequities before. and charged
that the coal companies were having

by other industries and manufactures

maintains that there Is an absolute
necessity for a shift in this matter.

tention with the fact that the general
industries Of the State during the past
two years have paid nearly $50 900 for

NEEDLESS PROFLIGACY

The appropriation bills OF the pres

items that have been decided on have

ministration that should the Republi

In the last Presidential campaign
Senator Scott gave one speech. in
which he told the story OF the boy
and the calf. for the benefit OF those
who expected to vote the Democratic
ticket.
The little boy was driving the calf

which tho calf forthwith followed.

MR.. WE'LL NEEDS PROTECTION

The Manufacturers Light q Heat
Company. guided by the spotless We'll.
agreed to pay Charles ID. Elliott s.. 900
for securing evidence besmirching the
Governor Of West virginia and the
Public Service Commissioner. The
question arises. why pay so much?
Elliott was out Of Job Just then.
and he would have undertaken the
task for $1,000 or 500. or even car
fare and board II he couldn't get more.
We very much fear that Mr.. Wen.
coming as he does from a great state.
and accustomed TO deal with large az.
fairs on a large scale. has gravely
overestimated the real value OF the
ordinary West Virginia CRATER.
Strictly as a matter OF business. Mr..

counsel with his Wheeling or Park

lavishly with Mr.. Elliott
