1t Is believed that the valuation will
increase about one-tenth this year.
When the last legislature set tho
straight levy Of fourteen cents on the
hundred dollars. 1t was pointed out
that the increase OF four cents was
made necessary by the deficit whicl
had been brought about by the long
and bitter strikes in Kanawha couii-
ty. the loss Of about $750,000 from
license taxes for the first year OF
statewide prohibition etc, and that
the increase would be temporary. It
la now probable that with the states

crease In revenue due to the revised
tax statutes. the straight levy of four
teen cents will be reduced to ten
cents. or possibly nine cents.

This Is Not the Time.

This Is not the time to create
aarin commission. Its existence could
bring about no good results to Amer
lean Industries, says the Philadelphia
Press. Whatever may be the merits
of such body, that is not the ques-
ton at issue now. No commission
appointed by Woodrow Wilson would
have the confidence of the manufac-
turing interests of the nation. His
views on the tariff are too we'll
known, his methods Of appointment
has been experienced too often. He
cannot be relied upon to name non
partisan body whose work would be
welcomed by those who believe in the
principle of tariff that protects the
American producer. Since his term
as president began, he has never once
displayed a disposition to name
commission that would represent
both sides of a question.
Mr.. Wilson has had ample oppor-
tunity to prove the existence of ca
pacity for non-partisan appointment,
II such he possesses. He has had the
selection of number of commissions
and boards which should be abso-
lutely non-partisan in their makeup.
In none Of them has he risen above
the level of narrow partisanship. He
refused to name a single Republican
upon either the federal reserve board
or the federal trade commission.
When he sent commissioners to NJ.
agara Falls in that ill-starred attempt
to settle the Mexican situation by the
interference Of other nations to the
south of us, he selected only Demo.
Gratis for the position. There Is no
reason to think that he would act
otherwise in the makeup of tariff
commission.
With the incoming OF the next Re-
publican administration, the first ster
will be the framing of tariff Law
that will keep step with the demand
Of the whole country for tariff that
protects alike American employer and
employed. That action should not,
and will not, be held back and hin.
dered by any tariff commission ap.
pointed by Mr.. Wilson. The creation
Of ruch body at this time, and un.

There's No Place Like Home"

The picture theater
Has taken its place.

With two bars OF wood under one
arm, hammer under the other, and
ten penny nails in his mouth, Artie
Choke walked into the Perfectly Grand
Movie Theater. AS soon as he found
a seat, he fitted the bars OF wood from
the arms of hic chair 10 the back Of
the seat in front. and began pounding.
He was not noticed at first, because
a wild and rather wooly-west picture
was on, and everybody thought the
pounding was part of 1t, but such was
not the case when the pathetic Death
of Pete booster in Two Reels" began.
An usher tapped Artie Choke on the
shoulder.
"Lookit here, bo," he said. you
can't pound like that in here"
But Artle slipped him quarter

pentry. Very shortly the manager
stepped up.

commanded.
