also one Of the best coal. counties In
the state with some. Of the best
equipped mines, and then see that the
oil and gas interests are paying more
tax than all the land and coal inter
ests combined we wonder why any
one could be so unfair as to advocate
a production tax on on and gsas, which
would practically confiscate the prop

handicap the industrial development
Eof the state, which Is adding. millions

The independent operator has been
OF great benefit to- the land owners and
every land owner should vigorously
resist such q discriminatory tax.
Why should q few counties stand
the burden of tax for the whole state?
The oil and gas operators are not
damaging the state, btit they are put..
ting millions OF dollars on the tax
books They give employment to
thousands ct good wages.
Why single out an industry that has
done more for the prosperity Of West
Virginia than any other and make ii

unjust share Of taxation? We do not

structiou work was in progress, extra
precautions have been taken by the
company to prevent trouble.
