The following is part of Tax Com
missioner Blues address at Parkers-
burg Gently. relative to the financial
condition of our state.
"The liquor people purposely, and
some who are not in the liquor business,
unadvisedly endeavor to create the i'm
preston that West Virginia suffers
financially because she prohibits the
manufacture and sale of Intoxicating
liquors. The appropriations for all
purposes of the state, payable out of
the general revenue, for the next ben-
NAL period. including over $500, 900 to
aid local public schools aggregates ST.
500, 900 annually. The state has pre-
sent deficit and will have a deficit of
approximately $500, 900 on June 30th,
neXt-the end of the present fiscal
year. 1t is also true, however, that
the state had deficit of $4,000 on
June 80, 1914, notwithstanding that in
the fiscal year then ending, the state
had collected license money from those
engaged in the liquor business. Back
of this, however. the state had deficit
of $4,000 on June Goth, 1918, not
withstanding in the fiscal year then
ending the state collected as much reve-
nue. from the liquor business as in any
year the state collected such revenue.
Now, inasmuch as we had deficits for
two succeeding years before prohibition
came into effect, what shall the liquor
people say. in their efforts to create
the impression that the deficit in West
Virginia exists solely today because she
is a prohibition state?''

GARRETT COUNTY BOARD OF TRADE
An Appeal to the Citizens OF Carrot:
County.

The work of the Garrett County
Board of Trade is intended to cover the
entire county, hence the business men
and farmers of the entire county are
urged to become members of the Board.
While the object is to boost Garrett
county, the Board of Trade will give
special attention to the interests of
each election district and town of the
county and will endeavor to call the
attention of the outside world to the
advantages offered TO home seekers and
investors in that particular locality.
The Board of Tr,j- will aim to en-
thuse Garrett CONTAINS in their home
county, to impress upon them the i'm
portance of developing the very best in
terests of the county.
1t will stand for Civic Improvement,
good roads. improved school buildings
and school conditions; cooperate with
the farmer in the marketing of his
crops, in the disposal of timber, etc; in
the developing of mineral rights.
1t will stand by the merchants in
building up home trade, by creating a
buy at home" movement. 1t will
labor to bring the seller and buyer to-
gether. 1t will represent Garrett
county as the ideal location for tourists,
vacatlonists and summer homes. This
is profitable field to cultivate
1t will boost Garrett county, every
nook and corner of it.
Its greatest success as booster re-
quires the hearty co operation of every
individual citizen. We must get to-
gether, pull together and do our level
best to put Garrett county at the very
front.
Boost Garrett county, it you DON
who will?
The two papers, THE REPUBLICAN
and the Democrat are Boosters from
Boosterville. They are giving US, as
Board of Trade. as county, column
after column of space to help develop
the county. They boost the county
fair, the Civic Club, the church work,
the school question. the good roads
movement-everything good and up
lifting.
Through these papers we appeal to
the citizens Of the county, hence one of
the papers should be in every home in

GIVING THE BOY A CHANCE.
corn or his acre last year. He also
raised, on 3 piece of ground his father
gave him, 500 pounds Of tobacco, which
will probably net him close to $50. As
a result of the boys interest in the
corn-club work, his father used the
boys yield OF last year for his own
seed and produced a frst-class crop OF
corn, under unusually unfavorable con
ditions.
The methods he followed are those
outlined by the State Experiment Sta
ton, which in regard to Cultivating
corn are as follows:
Cultivation should be thorough; 1t
should begin early and when neces-
sary continue until after the tassel or
even the ear appears. No rule can be
given for the number of times corn
should be worked; because, in some
cases four times may be sufficient, and
in other cases eight or ten workings
may not be too much; weather, weeds,
and soil conditions are the only guides.
If, after planting and before the
plants have pushed through the
ground, heavy rains form hard crust.
the field should be gone over with
spike-tooth harrow or weeder.
The cultivator should be started as
soon as conditions will permit not
waiting until weeds show up. The best
way to keep the weeds in check is
20 IoE 90 ~ N he
nearer each working is done at the
proper time the fewer will be the mum.
Der of civilizations necessary. Shallow
cultivation is preferable at all times;
if, however, the ground is hard. or
compact and weedy the first cultiva,
ton should be deep and close to the
corn; but when the plants have
reached a height of six or eight inches
the civilizations should be shallow,
running the shovels not more than
three inches deep. After this period
of growth tie lateral roots spread rap,
idly in every direction, soon ramifying
through all the soil between the rows
apd the plants. Under normal condi.
tons a large portion of the roots de
velop near the surface so that cult
waiting four inches deep may destroy
so per cent more roots than three
inches deep.
1t must be borne in mind that the
destruction of weeds is not the only
reason for cuitivating, breaking a hard
crust to allow the air to penetrate the
soil. and to conserve the moisture is
often eually as important as killing
weeds

FARMERS DAY AT THE AGRICUL
TURAL COLLEGE, MAY 2s.
President Patterson Invites All To
Attend

If there is any one class of citizens
who either by reason of their numbers
or through their Importance to the
community should have a Statewide
holiday set apart for their honor and
enjoyment it is the farming people.
Neither is there any place more fitting
as the centre of this celebration than
their agricultural college and expert
ment station, where Farmers Day" is
now an annual event for the gathering
of farmers and their families from all
parts OF the State to inspect the work
being carried on at these institutions.
The time selected-May 29-is singu-
larly fortunate, as much of the early
planting is out of the way, cultivation
Is just beginning and the summer harry.
est is still ahead of us.
BY this time if the farmer has made
a good start with his springs work,
he will find much pleasure in observing
further ways of enhancing his success.
If he has made poor start he needs
to acquaint himself with every method
of improvement possible that will help
him square himself with his investment
of cash and labor II he does not
find that which will in some way be
of help to him on this holiday 1t is
to his interest to find out why these
institutions are not doing work that is
Of practical value to him.
The Agricultural College and Expert.
ment Station are just as much any
farmers property as a farm or wood
lot would be except that it is owned
comparatively and must be handled for
the benefit of all concerned. What the
tenant is to the farm owner the adj
ministrative officer of the Agricultural
College must be to the farmers of the
State who are sharers in the benefits
of the institution. Is 1t not an indif-
ferent farm owner who does not, at
least, occasionally visit his farm to
make certain that his tenant is giving
the proper attention to its manage
ment?

Nigh Hypocrisy

Scratch one of the rhinoceros-hided congressman
who are roaring against the shippurchase bill as a
subsidy and you'll find lifelong promoter of sub
sides Of every Sort
The ship-purchase measure may be subsidy, ii
there's such thing as nation substituting itself.
But it is not the usual subsidy of private monopoly.
1t is infant offspring of the nation which it is
proposed to foster with national infants food.
It has another remarkable feature in that it's par
Ants Propose to sell it or leave it some private
doorstep is it outgrows infancy. It's fate is
to be decided exception in the history of fostered
infant industries But it is not this proposed diabo
ical treatment to which the erstwhie habitual pro-
r1oters of subsidies object They object to the very
birth Of the infant, the ground that the accouch
ment will be bad for the constitutional health of the
parents, but they IL be ON deck with eager out
stretched hands, if the child amounts to anything.
Once Uncle Sans tens of millions are invested in
developing the child, hel have no trouble finding
interests" at any time, who will help him knock
it in the head, or get it off his hands.
The statesmen at Washington most vociferous
against this awful subsidy are the very ones with
long records as promoters of subsidy, privilege and
spork, and the president should be excused if he
doubts their patriotism in the present case.

Individual initiative is probably the strongest

us take it to our bosoms, but why make it tyrant
and extortionst?
Moreover, these senators don't represent individ-
ual initiative They represent long established,
grown privilege cinches, not initiative.
At this crisis in commercial affairs, the Opportun-
ty for initiative is mighty and wide open. 1t is a
great national necessity that this opportunity be
fully grasped Individual capital refuses to take
hold and President Wilson is absolutely right in
being determined that the nation shall.
The present congress dies on March 4. Obstructed

circumstances, President Wilson will be perfectly

A nice opportunity is preparing for Gen. Bliss or

bloody prize-fight is being gotten up for Juarez,
Mexico, in which the principals will be an American
citizen named Johnson, guaranteed $4,000, and an
other American named Willard, guaranteed $4,000.
We say bloody, because if there weren't strong ex-
pectation of much blood and brutality there would
be no hope of $4,000 worth, and more, of American
fools to attend the fight
Juarez is right across the border from Ell Paso,
Texas and there will be in it, the day Of the fight
more moneyed American blacklegs than it ever be-
fore held. They will be there perpetrating things
which their own country has prohibited, as detri-
mental to law, order and morality.

Editor Times:
Dear Sir-In regards to the To-
hour law for laundry girls, /
would like to say few things.
Some time ago the proprietors of
one of Tacoma's laundries stated
that 1t was we girls who asked to
work 10 hours. There is no truth
in that whatever. L am sure
eight hours is enough for any
woman, especially in a laundry.
A petition was brought by the
boss for us to sign. We were not
asked to sign, but told to do so,
and Informed that it would not be
we'll for us ii we refused. Instead
of putting 1t up to all of us to-
gether. we were taken one by one,
sometimes two, in the private Of
flee, SO it was an easy matter to
persuade most of the girls to
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1915-01-20

sign Some of them we're kept
in the office fifteen to twenty
minutes, or until they did sign. I
don't think that was a very manly
way of getting signatures.
They also stated under the
eight-hour day they couldn't get
the work through. l have worked
in laundry a good many years,
SO l know better. On the last
three days of the week we are
through from 3:30 to 4. They are
no doubt looking for busy time
this summer and there will be
sure to be some overtime. That
would give them chance to work
us overtime without interfering
with the wage law.
Hoping YOU will give this lit
tie attention, yours for a fair
deal, M. j.
