a glance at this table shows that
West Virginia taxpayers are not ser
iously Oycrburdcncd in the way Of d.
rect state taxation as compared with
the citizens Of other commonwcalths
Take, for instance, the states Of Con-
nccticut, Maryland Nebraska and
Washington, all Of them in West VIr-
ginia's class as TO population, and note
in the table that West Virglnia's nine
cents is matched by Marylands thirty
two cents, Nebraska siXty-eight cents,
Washington's eighty cents and Connec-
ticut's $144 on the 500 valuation
The case Of Maryland is particularly
interesting in this connection. During
the primary campaign the Democratic
candidate for governor called particu-
lar attention to the fact that our
ncighbor had turned out the cXtrava-
giant Republicans, that the Democrats
had provided themselves with an econ
omy and efficiency commission and
were going to cut down expenditures
and tax rates. The net result Of that
movement is that Marylands state
tax rate Of thirty-twO cents for 1915
has been boosted by the Democratic
administration to thirty-fye cents for
1916 while West Virginia's rates has
been cut by Republican adminisra-
ton from fourteen cents in 1915 to nine
cents in 1916.
It is interesting again to compare
the West Virginia rate with those Of
our near ncighbors, Virginia. thirty
five cents; Ohio, forty-nvc cents. and
Kentucky, fifty cents. And it should
not be forgotten that half Of the money
raised by this direct taxation in West
Virginia is distributed to the school
districts all over the state enabling
schools to be maintained for longer
periods than would otherwise be pos
siblc in the less favored counties. Ger
tain ii is that comparison Of the West
Virginia rates Of taxation and costs
Of state government with those OF
other commonwealth furnishes the
strongest kind Of refutatiOn OF the
reckless charges of extravaganza made
against the Republican state admin
Istration Unless all the other states
of the Union are hopeless spendthrifts
on the high road to bankruptcy, there
can be no basis for the charge that
the Republican administration in West
Virginia has been either wasteful or
eytrayaEant in its expenditure OF
public moneys.

JUDGES POOR POLITICIANS

History repeats itself that Judges
are not a SUCCESS as politicians. In
1897, Judge Alton B. Parker was ell
ected chief justice of the New York
court of appeals by majority of
over 10000 votes. In 1904, the Demo
cratic national convention at st..
Louis selected him as their standard
BEARER and he was not only one Of
the worst defeated candidates for
president in Thirty years but lost
his own state by $4,000 votes.
When the Democrats in 1909 sell
ected Judge Gaynor as candidate for
mayer CT the city of New York, AL
Though very popular, he only won by
a division in the opposing party.
Samuel Seabury WHO was defeated
for governor in New York this year
by an Overwhelming majority, was
elected judge of the court of appeals
only two years ago by 10000 major
ity.
Charles E. Hughes was twice elect
ed govern Of New York by large
majorities and was afterwards trans
ferred to the Uni ed States supreme
bench, life posit on at $1,000 per
year. The reactionary Republicans in
convention at Chicago this year, re-
member.ng his heretofore wellknown
popularity, selected Linn for their
preside initial candidate and he too
went down TO defeat by jury com
posed of national freemen.
These incidents are hut few Of
those related in history where judg-
es of high courts nave been defeat
ed politically and it should be a
warning to parties in the future. 1t
is true that VIM. H. Taft, a former
judge, was elected president, but his
second race resulted in the most
pronounced defeat CT any presidential
candidate in history.
Our government is composed Of
three coordinate sections-the leg.s-
lative, the Judicial and the xeouive,
and those applicable for the one
branch are too often foreign to the
other and should not be wrongfualy
misplaced.
