FROM the BarkcrsburE News.
The Huntington Herald Dispatch
which seems to have been constituted
a defender OF the coal interest OF
West Virginia in the night between
them and Governor Hatfield and his
supporters in The light over special
taxes. let loose Ill its guns yesterday
at The News because this paper pre-
sumed to state that the people OF
West Virginia should array themselves
on the side OF the governor and
against the interests.
The Herald Dispatch seems to have
gone into its venom files for epithets
TO apply o this paper, and into It's
more kindly repositories for terms TO
be lavished on the coal men. Its
tire statement is a fair sample OF the
campaign OF Misrepresentation that
has been resorted 20 in the night TO
discredit the governor and TO bolster
up the u OF the coal men.
One statement OF the down-state or
gan no one denies-that the develop
ment OF West Virginia and its cities
has been pushed forward by the bush
ness that accompanies the coal indus
try. That is a self evident truth.
II Is not necessary to devote several
paragraphs TO the exposition or sucn
a fact.
But the coal champion says nothing
OF the extra expenses that the mining
industry has cost this state. and for
which the coal barons are now un-
willing 70 pay. IL says nothing OF the
powerful lobby that worked In the leg.
islature to prevent the enactment or
special taxes. and hat Is believed 20
have had a great deal TO do with the
detection OF the worn representatives
or the people who defeated the bills
which would have taken a step toward
the adjustment OF the mero in
CAPABILITIES in West Virginia taxation.

Governor Hatneld's address at
houndsvfiis. while Il brought out
nothing new with regard to the imam
cief dimcuity the State IL facing. It
did bring very forcibly to the atten-
ton Of the people what he has been
striving for In their behalf. and In the
interests Of the taxpayers of the State.

legged interests TO take up their share
Of the burden OF TAXATION by paying q
fsfr proportion OF the expenses OF
State government. which. so far. they
have escaped through methods we'll
known to those who have kept tab on
their activities during the sessions OF
. legislature. As has been pointed
out In these columns. and In the State
press. we are now facing a crisis In
the history of the State In this mat
ter In the attitude OF a large portion
OF the legislators and the apathy OF
the people toward this important u
ton. IL is 10 awaken the dormant
public to a sense OF their escheatment
Of their birthright. OF their natural
heritage by the coal. oil and gas inter.
ests. who are fattening and flourish
Ing without any return for the privi-
ieges they enjoy. that Governor Hat
feld has Instituted his campaign.
As was said in the illuminatiye COM

subject. under the present situation

sources OF West Virginia. coal. oil and

~ a little while West Virginia will
be denuded OF Its principal wealth;
we Will have parted with the basis Of
a great development and prosperity:
we will have lost the prestige OF a
very rich State. and we will be rated
as a poor. impoverished State which
capital and population will pass by.
We will have soil our birth-ight for

These resources are the OF
the State and as such every individual
citizen has a coordinate interest in
them. The State extends protection
and gives service 10 the special inter.
ests working these resources to the
last vein OF the minerals. and should.
In all equity. in common fairness. be
compensated for that protection and
service. This is especially true OF the
coal business. which has cost the
state millions which has been
paid by the general taxpayers
while the receivers OF the bene-
hts have not contributed n

THIEVES TURN
TWO MORE JOBS
Looting Of Hotel Register
Last Week Followed by
Two More Robberies on
Saturday Night; Johnson
Shop Suffers Heavy Loss

The theft of several hundred dollars
worth of clothes from the Johnson
Cleaning and Pressing Shop and of a
gold watch out of the cash register at
the Butte Garage. was accomplished
early yesterday morning and investi-
cations made yesterday place the blame
for both jobs on the same parties who
made away with the cash register from
the Casa Iona hotel Thursday night
and looted it of it's contents. Neither
Of the Saturday night robberies came
to the attention of the officers until yes
terday afternoon and up to late last
night no clues had been found.
The theft of the watch from the
garage was noted yesterday morning
but the manager did not think it
worthy of mention to the officers and
paid no attention to the matter. A back
door was pried open. a second lock to
the office on the interior was picked,
and the watch taken Auto supplies
and accessories worth probably a thou
sand dollars or more We're not touched.
1t was on returning from examining
the evidence of the garage robbery that
the marshal noted the rear door of the
cleaning shop being open. Investiga-
previously tempered with on the night
that the Casa Iona was entered, had
been unlocked, glass in a second door
was broken and that unlocked, and en-
trance was gained through a third door
into the establishment by climbing over
the transom and then unlocking the
door from the interior. Manager john
son took an account last evening and
ascertained that at least a half dozen
Valua bic suits and several oVercoats
and sundry other apparel had been re-
moved. In fact everything that was
in shape for delivery. and the best of
the goods that had not yet been
cleaned We're taken.
Foot prints plainly showed that the
same two men were implicated in the
jobs OF yesterday morning on the ga
rage and the cleaning shop. And coup
ling the circumstances surrounding
their work it is quite apparent they
were also the fellows who took the
change from the hotel.
Marshal Browning was emphatic last
evening in his warning to people to
lock up their homes when absent and
to exercise the cloest watch on their
property.

is thought that in such a central loca-
ton where farmers from near Tempe,
from Kyrene, the Highline and Jordan
can conveniently reach it, that a large
crowd will turn out. Prof. Clothier, for
ten years associated with the agricul-
turaI department at the university, now
with the L. S. department of agricul-
ture had made a detailed study of
crops most suited to growth in this
