Unless there is protective tariff European pro-

WHERE SOME OF THE MONEY WENT

r Until there are sweeping changes in some of
~ the offices in the court house it probably will
be impossible to clear up the mystery regard
ing what becomes of the $4,000 Of the taxpayers
money which is paid out OH account of the poor al
though the aims house is self sustaining, but a
glance at the records of the Inspector and Super
visor Of Public Offices of West Virginia makes it
apparent where lot Of other money has been going
In years past These records show, for instance
that the gross compensation OF the Sheriff of Mar
ion county for the fiscal year 191j-16 was $32 900
When the fifteen per cent of all fees and commits
sions, which under the law is refunded to the coun-
ty, Is taken off there remains $27 200 Out of this
the sheriff must pay his deputies. What this costs
the sheriff does not particularly interest the public
The $27, 200 was what the sheriff. office cost
For the year 1914 the gross revenue of the
bounty clerk after the countys fifteen per cent had
been taken off was 81 COZ O3 while the circuit clerk
for the same fiscal year got 81 ,3037s
Il A Republican legislature which had some regard
for the interests Of the people put an end to the
system of fees which made these large incomes pos

THAT COST OF LIVING PLEDGE.

WHEN you have to buy shoes for your wife this
w fall and find that SIS is merely an ordinary
price, we commend to you this extract from
the Democratic platform on which the Democrats
came into office: THE high cost of living is seri-
GUS problem in every American home. The Repub-
ican party in its platform attempts TO escape from
that they are due to protective tariff We take
issue with them Oh this subject and charge that ex-
cessive prices result in large measure from the
high tariff laws enacted and maintained by the Re.
publican party There are no ''IIigh tariff laws
now but the high cost of living is more than ever
serious problem in every American home.
