CHARLESTON. Sept. 3O.-John ].
Cprnwell, in his frantic attempts to
get 10000 Republican votes. has
Numbered into die same old story that
the people of West Virginia are paying
three times as much in salaries for
lheir state officers as they did when
democrats controlled the state. But he
is careful to say nothing about what

Gratis in the way OF fees in these old
days, which, had he at any time at

COrnwell, the state OF West Virginia

brought revenue to the state in 1916 as
follows: Automobile licenses. $l62.-
$50, as compared with nothing under
the Democrats; license tax on the
charters of corporations, SS27 ,455. as
compared TO Sl05. 400 in 1897, under
Democratic control; excise taxes in
1916, S234,9lS, as compared with moth

pared with nothing under the Demo-
Gratis, and so on down the list. For
1916 the total revenues OF the state
were S3,5SS0i0, as compared with
S9ii,360 in 1897, but of the expendi-
lures of the fiscal year 1916, S3,ll3077
the sum Of Sl,96i,763 was expended on
educational, charitable and penal in
situations Of the state. while the ex-
punsGs to run the state departments,

Of the judges, mileage, etc, was only

over $220009.000 in wealth 4 year
What great corporation, producing two
hundreds OF millions in wealth a year
could be or has ever been so economi-
caily administered?
Making Assessments.
The assessments are not made in
Charleston, il must be noticed, but in
the counties. and they are made hy
Democrats and Republicans alike, the
assessors. except that the board OF
control does assess the public service
corporations, since they are intra-
county, and turns back these monies
10 the counties proportionate to Tho
holdings Of the corporations within
the county boundaries. And still fur
ther under cloud is the Democratic
regime placed when the proportions OF
these returns are compared for 1916
and 1897. The Republicans in 1916 OF
the $3.5S9,O4O collected in revenues,
returned S2.s62.532, or about four
ifths. while the Democrats returned
Of the S94i,360 they collected in 1897,
only S333,5sl. or not one third. This
money returned to the counties the
counties used. not the state. and II
went to Democratic counties the same
as Republican counties, and Demo-
cratic counties used II under their own
county control just as Republican
counties have used II under Republican
control.
How this has been brought home to
the people is shown in the fact that
while the Democratic administration
of 1896 returned to Cabell county only
81, OO7. in 1916 the Republican admin
istration returned 10 CaDell county
SS0O.63 Fayette received S2S,S7S in

Harrison county $5,O5l in 1896 and
$1S5,125 in 1916; Kanawha county
S23.793 in 1897 and $2SS,63i in 1916;

Hampshire county has to spend, not

How LeVles are Laid.
The fourteen cent levy of 1916 raised
in the state the sum of 1859 ,35S.O5,
and OF this sum $4l4.422.63 was paid
back into the general school fund.
leaving S1,16S,93342 as the direct tax
of the state government on the people,
or S1.lO on the $1,000 valuation of
property. making the state tax on a
mans property assessed at $4,000 the
sum of $40 The state government
has nothing to do with leyies in the
several counties. The sum and sub
stance of the whole argument is that
