the future is cheerful.

poor man pay as much tax as tho
rich man. II your statements in the
past have been true, tho day laborer,
who gets So day, will pay as much
tax as a bank president. Do you
gentlemen on that Bide believe this?
Did you ever believe It? Why, II
the Democratic doctrine be true the
man who. amid the dust and smoke
OF mill, mine or factory, laboring ton
hours day, supporting himself and
his family. will pay moro Of this tax
than the useless parasite who spends
his uneArned millions. who rides in
his high-powered auto, feeble-mind-
eddy pulling his doped clgaTot, with
his childleBs wife ana ner perfumed

Gentlemen, did you ever believe,
what for years you have preached,
except during political campaigns
when the fatal hunger for Office was
EnawlnE at your vItals? II, AZ you
have always preached. the tariff is n
tax, how dare you impose tax
which falls 80 heavily on the poor
man with his large family and so
lightly on the rich? Why have you
not the courage of your convictions?
Why do you not impose n direct tax
on incomes which will compel the
rich man to pay n share OF the tax in
proportion to his wealth."

An Uniust Tax

Taking up the reiterated assertion
Of the Democrats that ''the tariff is
a tax: 1t is added to the price OF the
article: the consumer pays it," Rep
resentatlve Humphrey scored the
Democrats for voting to retain a tax
of a cent pound on sugar.
why should the party that has
always posed as particular friend
of the poor, the enemy OF the rich,
levy a tax on sugar." he inquired.
"Certainly sugar Is a necessity.
Sugar Is life. Why should It be
taxed? II you must levy tax, why
not levy 1t as nearly as possible &C
cording to the ability OF those taxed
TO pay II? You have said ten thous-
and. times that a tax on sugar was a
robbery; that it was an unjust tax
which oppressed the poor and per
lnitted the rich to escape their share
of the burden.

So far as the News is able to dis
cover. the only objection to Judge Ira
z. Robinson is that he has SO many
friends, who are doing all In their
power to insure his nomination as the
Republican candidate for governor.
These friends certainly should not be
blamed, for they recognize that the
Grafton 1urist, more than any other
candidate Of any party. possesses the
qualifications of mind and heart
which will make us q governor OF
whom not only the Republican party,
but the state OF West Virginia will be
proud.-Parkersburg News.

Farmers have been advised to

That instruction was given up
on the assumption that there
would he a normal season and
that the ground would be set
tied by the time and the wheat
or rye started. It Is now evi-
dent that such will not be the
case and the seeding should not
be done so early. It now looks
like the tenth or fifteenth OF
April would be us early as the
wheat and rye could be har-
rowed with safety. II will pay
