FEE SYSTEM ENDS SOON
All County Officers on Sal
ary After First of Next
January.

The lowered state tax, which has
been reduced from u cents from this
county TO 10 cents, will cause Mar.
ion county's total tax bill for the
present fiscal year TO be considerably
lessened. The scnool and road tax
are practically the same throughout
the county this year as last year. The
county court today stated that the
county tax in Fairmont had been re.
duced Two cents in consideration OF
the added five cents that the Fairmont
city officials had laid.
Although considerable added ex,
pense will be placed upon the coun,
ty fund during the present fiscal year,
because Of the fact that the fees from
the sheriff and clerks will cease Janu.
airy first and these officials will IN.
der the new law be placed on the sal
ary list OF the county, yet the court
did not raise the levy as a balance
of about $4,000 was on hand at the
beginning OF this year which is
thought sufficient 10 carry the added
expense until July !, 1917.
The total sum in Marion county
from which taxes are collected Is
s133.127,0s5.2S as stated in The Yves,
Virginian yesterday. but this Is NOT
the total valuation OF the property in
the county which is only S6,563,567.64
This psradoxical condition arises
from the fact that some of the 66 odd
million are taxed two and three times
thus bringing the total that is taxable
to 1873 million odd.
The complete report of all the tax
levy in Marion county which was
made yesterday by the county court
and the boards OF education together
With the various municipal govern
ments in the county is being prepar.
ed for publication and will likely be
ready in few days.
The most noticeable feature OF this
report will be the fact that the tax
for school purposes in this county is
more than the added taxes for all 9th.
er purposes.

The Fairmont Cooperative associs.
tion, a unique venture in the Fair

that their new store will be ready foi

new association is the first attempt
10 operate true cooperative owned

Such stores in which the customers
share In the profits Of the business
are now being successfully operated
in Grafton. Star City and many other
nearby cities.
The local association recently in

ter specifies that the stock shall be
issued in SO shares and not more
than FIVE shares to any one person
Thus II each subscriber to the stock
buys the limit there will be at least

are held in the ". C. T. L. hall more
subscribers are joining each day.
The directors Of the new association
are all well known men of the city

by the high.price Of foodstutfs that is
noticeable this summer. Following
are the names Of the men: ". NJ
Rogers. ". H. Snider. Arthur Finley
Victor Walker, J. H. Nye, Watson Lee
W. c. Smith, George Gross.
The plan Of the new organization Il
simple and, since their charter gives
them the privilege 10 sell at both
wholesale and retail, II is possible for
owners OF restaurants and boarding
houses as well as individual families tc
become members and stockholders
Groceries, meats and foodstuffs Of all
kinds will be the sort Of merchandise
sold at the store when It is opened
although later the stockholders may
decide to-carry other lines. A fea
ture Of the plan is to make the store
market for, the farmer and especial
II the truck grower. This will dc
away with the useless duplication oi
routes now practiced by truck grow
ers who attempt to sell their produces
direct to the consumer. In this man
ner and by paying the farmer prompt
ly the best price for his products, /,
is thought that the present almost pro
hibitive price Of vegetables and green
goods will be materially lessened. Such
a store with dependable demand
for garden products will tend to en-
courage truck farming In this coun
ty and thus the directorssof the asso
citation believe that much good will
result.
The location Of the store has no,
yet been selected. butzwill be at some
convenient point near the center o.
