Cost Comparison.

The state government costs $2.75
per capita under the Republican adj
ministration. The national govern
ment costs more than SIS per capita
under Democratic management.
For the $2.75 the people of West
Virginia get in return six state nor
nal schools; help for high schools.
for the common schools, the county
superintendent of schools. the SUI
preme and circuit courts. the state
hospitals for miners and industrial
workers, the industrial home. the
reform schools. the school for the
deaf dumb and blind. the state uni
rersity. the orphans home, the color
ed institute, the state accounting sys-
TEN, the public service commission,
the department OF weights and
measures which has saved the peo-
pie of the state more than So per
capita, the department of labor. the
mining department, the department
of agriculture. the department of
roads, which has saved the people OF
the state more than 50 per capita,
the administration of the workmen's
compensation and and all other de-
partmente of the state government
All of these modern institutions
and departments at cost Of S2.75
par capita. All efficiently and eco
nomically conducted. free from the
institutional scandals which prevailed
in the MacCorkle years Of 1924,
not . single case Of malfeasance and
cmbez2lement in all OF the sixteen
years OF Republican management.

In campaigns. the Democrats are
prolific OF promises. The Democratic
national platform OF 1912 bristles
with promises and pledges which
have never been kept. They prom
lsed economy and the result was the
most outrageously reckless and prod
lgal congressional appropriations in
the history Of the government, at
tended by doubling and quadruplng
taxes. special stamp levies, and the
increasing OF per capita taxation to
over Sl7. They promised to reduce
the high cost OF living but they didn't
do 1t. II is higher now than II ever
was. The list OF unfulnlled pledges
made in 1912 Is too long to take up
one by one in the limited space per-
mittcd in this article. Aud It Is
hardly necessary because the inlelli-
gent voters Of this country are famil-
lar with it.
What contrast between the DEM
cratic party in the nation and the Re-
publican party in West Virginia. Not
one single promise made to the people
OF the state by the Republicans in
that splendid document but has been
pnlously kept. not pledge in that
splendid document but has been re-
realized. The Republican state Plat
