Cut Bank pioneer press. [volume] (Cut Bank, Mont.) 1909-current, 1915-02-19

A writer in one of the cur
rent magazines makes the
rather surprising statement
that the number of people
who leave the United States
and establish homes in Can
ada is greater than the num-
Der that leaves the German
Empire each year, for all
parts of the world. Why,
then, all the alarm about the
immigration movement into
this country? We are in
clined to think that the Pres
ident's veto of the imrnigra-
ton bill on account of the
superficial tests imposed was
one of the wisest acts of
his administration. II has
been our observation that
those who clamor most vo-
cally against immigration are
the more recent arrivals to
our shores-people with lit
tie knowledge of our prob
lens, our language or our
institutions. Like the social
climbers, they soon forget
their own days Of trial and
stress IN the older lands, and
steel their hearts toward
those who have aspirations
kindred to their own, for
home and opportunity in the
western world.

TAX III

The failure of West Virginia to pay
her bills is not due to n p~rodigality
or extravaganza in the expenditure of
her resources. Our rate of expenditure
per capita for state. county and city
government in West Virginia is lower
than hat of more than forty of our
sister states. Our governmental ex-
penditures are so frugal. in compart-
son with our Astounding wealth of
natural resources, that we are in
danger of mourning a just charge of
RIGHTEOUSNESS. We are not collecting
and expanding anything like the
amount OF money we ought to expend
on our educational and other state in
stitutions. Other states are using for
these purposes five dollars where we
use one
Not only are our per capita rates
of expenditure for governmental pur-
poses relatively small. as compared
with our sister states, but our rate
of direct taxation of property is the
very lowest in the United States. In
levying indirect taxes on privileged
industries, moreover we have been
more conservative than any of our
peighbor states. OF the total of our
very modest revenues for all public
purposes, state, county n municipal,
only v per cent is gathered from
the privileged interests by way OF in
direct or privilege axes.
The reason we have a moratorium,
then, is not that we have exhausted
our sources of revenue. 1t is because
we have not used them. We allow
certain selfish interests to send their
representatives to Charleston to make
our laws. Those representatives or
ganZie themselves into a "combina-
ton to protect" the interests from
favoffnn n,1r IN cf{tnf{NnC arn Sfnrvad
our state employees unpaid. our credit
as a safe subjected to damage. in or
der that certain of our privileged in
dustries may exploit our
without contributing adequately to
the support of our government. The
cure for the situation Is to tax the
interest.-Charleston Post.
