WILL PAY,sHFoR THEIR FOLLY.

There has always been strong sen.
timent for an export tax on gas, not
because IL would collect the tax from
the gas companies, but because 1t
would tend to conseryelt the gas supply
In this state and bring industries here
to consume the gas. An export tax,
though, iSconsidered unconstitutional,
but the effect of the Pierce tax on the
transportation Of gas would have soiY-
ed this question in the interests of the
industries OF this state. The Pierce
tax proposed o tax for each % miles
the gas was to- be transported, and
this made the tax, OF course, higher
on the exported gas. The gas com.
pany argued that any such tax would
be, in the END. paid by the people.
This might have been. SO a few years
ago before We had the Public Service
: Commission, but now the commission
would stand between the people and
the gas companies and say you shall
not impose this tax. which Is directed
nt you, upon your consumers In this
atate. This stand would have had the
effect Of causing the gas companies to
place q higher rate on the gas going
out Of the state, which would be equiv.
alent 70 an export tax, a thing We all
know would be of the most possible
benefit 20 the state, and that would
do more To- encourage factories to
come into West Virginia than any
other one thing The gas people were
not able 70 kill this bill alone 1t was
the combination with the coal organ.
ization, the oil companies and the
liquor interests that made 1t possible
to kill the Pierce bill This combinas
tion is very strong, but the people are
stronger and in the end they will have
to pay the same penalty for their folly
in opposing the revenue measures thai
was paid by the liquor interests.

When the people OF West Virginia
come 70 know that all persons en-
ployed In State Institutions cannot be
paid for the months following March,
they viii have q keen sense OF humlla
tion. Theipeople! OF the state are wont
to boast OF It's great natural resources
world outside OF the! state has become
impressed with the idea that this

view Of this faet, to have the news go
broadcast over the entire country that
the state IS unable to care for its Uni.
versity, its Normal schools. It's hos,
pitfalls, its insane asylums, and other
institutions, brings the blush to every
loyal citizen.
In his message to the legislature,
Governor Hatfield presented careful.
~ prepared statement Of the finances
Of the state, in which it was shown
that the deficits were and what would
be necessary to meet the reasonable
and urgent needs Of the state. These
figures were before every member OF
the legislature, and an honest con-
sheraton Of them should have led to
active help on the part OF every loyal
member, irrespective of party, to pro-
vide revenue for these needs. Instead
Of doing this, some members of the
senate threw aside their loyalty to the
state and institutions, for party loyal
", or for personal business interests,
thus bringing q personal loss and in.

state institutions, and keen humila.
ton to all Its citizens.
p Ii must not be forgotten that every
member took an oath to support the
constitution OF the state. In tho con-
stitution there are two distinct pro.
visions made which were ignored by
some members Of the'leglslalure. The
constituti ion plainly says that tho leg
islature shall provide revenue for any
deficit that may exist in the state,
and Ii plainly says, also, it shall pro.
vide revenue stuff cient to meet the ap.
proprfatio ions made. ri Some legislators,
in spite Of their oath, ignored these
provisions and based their actions, as

The situation during the last week
Of the legislature was such that II
two or three more senators had risen
to their full responsibility instead of
clinging To party or personal interests
revenue and appropriate bills would
have been passed, injustice to many
persons would have been prevented
and the good name OF the state not
narred. The present situation throws
o very keen responsibility on, those
persons who, &c they had been true
to their oath of! office and loyal to the
best interests OF hesitate, might have
helped in this time Of crisis. The
abuse OF the governor and of the
party that has been in power does not
suffice. nor does at free these persons
from the public responsibility which
they assumed in accspting important
public positions. The question has
been asked many times as to whether
the state senators from this district
measured up to their highest respon.
sibility. Did they?

NAeelNe 4. NEWSPAPER.

The World agrees with Mr.. Charles
R. Miller, editor OF the New York
Times, that the questioning to which
he was subjected by the Senate com.
mittee investigating the Ship Trust
lobby was highly improper. In say.
ing this we ask no privilege for the
press that Is not the elementary right
of every citizen.
In the minds OF those acquainted
with the Times. its opposition to the
Government Ship-Purchase Bill awak.
ened neither surprise nor suspicion.
The policy involved was contrary TO
the ideas which that newspaper has
held for many years. Any one ia.
miliar with the situation would have
predicted very accurately week in
advance of the presentation OF the
bill what the attitude OF the Times
would be.
Newspapers. like men. may be sub.
tect to improper influences, but they
ought not to be put on trail except
by formal accusation, and they should
