Wanted-An Angel

The hacker Of theatrical enterprise
OF any kind, particularly those musical
comedies which are advertised rs Mostly
Girls" is referred to as an "aneel."
From the beginning the word now may
mean any one who pays the expenses Of
any undertaking
Our own idea of an Undertaking of
gigantic proportions is for the Republi.
cans to go before the taxpayers Of the
state, after the record OF extravagance
for many years. and ask that the party
be returned TO control OF the state gov.
eminent. This undertaking will require
AN angel" and the question is, who
will it be.
That faction OF the Republican party
now in control of the State House is
now looking for some one with wealth TO
back the candidates in the primary.
Response to such a statement will be
that the corrupt practices act prohibits
the expenditure of large sums of money.
This is too humorous to be considered,
but the fact remains that money and lots
Of it will be needed.
In 1919 the present governor in his
campaign for election had the wealth of
such men as Isaac T. Mann, former Sena-
tor Davis Elkins, the late William Sey-
mour Edwards and others TO assist him.
From time TO time facts have even crept
into print as TO how much money was
contributed by these men. Other inter
ests also gave freely to the realization Of
the ambition of man who afterwards
repudiased the men who acted as "his
angels
There may be more angels" in the
material world in which we live, but
who are they? Are they willing TO finance
the campaign Of the State House orRani-
cation candidates?
1t is matter Of no interest to The
Gazette, except one OF adding 10 the
sum total Of ones knowledge. The per-
sonnet Of "the angels" will be interesting
If they ever are located and agree 10
loosen up.
No one ever explained the phenomena
OF the mama which ''came from Heaven"
10 feed the Children Of Israel. Even they
required material nourishment. IL Bib.
lical Mosaic history about TO be repeated
by "manna coming from an unknown
source? Charleston Gazette.

Republican Miner Gives HI. Views

Editor OF The Argus,
Kingwood. w. Va.
Dear Sir:
In last weeks Issue notice an edi-
torial on the taxation OF coal, oil and
gas, and In that article I see where
you arraign Governor Hatfield for his
failure to support this measure. You
are mistaken when you say that Gov
ernor Hatfield promised I'm his plat
form and in his speeches four years
ago to favor this form of taxation.
He was always opposed to II and the
Republican party is opposed to such
tax for 1t means double taxation.
Hon. Carleton G. Pierce introduced a
bill into the legislature which had
for its purpose the taxation OF oil and
gas, and l am glad to say that the
Republican legislature voted II down
by an overwhelming majority. You
might as well talk about taxing the
wheat I'm a mans field or the cattle
grazing on the hills as to talk about
taxing coal, oil or gas. One Is Just as
much OF production tax as the other.
Then IL you would tax coal It would
put West Virginia coal out OF the
market. Coal cannot stand the tax
and even IL a tax was placed on It II
would come of the miner. OIL and
the corporations that produce II al
ready pay a tax to the state of West
virginia, and while / do not own an
acre OF oil producing territory, l am
opposed to the double taxation. Like
wise, In the same manner gas Is taxed
once and II you would tax 1t again
II would be great burden upon the
gas consumers of the state of West
Virginia. Every man who has gas in
his home would have to pay more for
II because this is case where the
consumer would have the tax to pay
| and further tax would be unfair to
the man who owns the gas wells and
1t would also work a hardship upon
the people who use the gas. The
farms should bear the burden OF taxa
/ ton. They are productive and their
wealth is inexhaustible, and IL prop
erly titled, they will be as productive
a thousand years from now as they
are today. Their value can not be
destroyed like the value OF coal, oil
and gas, which possesses value only
so long as they can be produced, and
when once exhausted are no longer
of any value The value OF land Is
permanent and can not be destroyed
or consumed. While 1 am a Repub.
lican, 1 take The Argus and am op-
posed to Hatfield on account OF his
high taxes. but 1 do not think your
article last week was entirely fair tc
him or the Republican party.
l. A REPUBLICAN MINER.

In commenting upon the withdrawal
OF Auditor John s. Darst from the race
for governor, the Grafton Sentinel. a
Republican paper, and partisan sup
porter within the Republican party Of
Judge Ira r. Robinson, in urging bic
election says:
West Virgins needs Governor With
some Of the qualities Of statesmanship
and With mind capable Of grasping the
problems and public questions requiring
solution in this state. Too long nov have
We been plagued with governors Who
have bcen either mere political gangsters
tit only 70 dish out the pie With a firm
hand or TOO weak n merit any sort Of
description"
The Sentinel says, and we must re.
peat It
Too long now have We been plagued
With governors who have been either
mere political gangsters, ft only 10 dish
out the pie With q firm hand. or too
weak 10 merit any sort Of description"
On March 3, 1891, Governor William
A. MacCorkle retired and turned over
tbe office 70 HE SUCCESSOR, George W.
AtkinsoD. Since this date the following
have been the governors % the state
George ". Atkinson, four years.
Albert p White, four years.
William VI. 0. Dawson. -four gears.
William =. 0lasscock, four years.
Henry y. Hatfield, three years.
These men are REPUBLICANS.
Thrs u is charged that m nineteen
years the governors Of the state have
been political gangslers'' OF weaklings.
and this indictment comes not from
Democratic opponent, bot a REPUB.

Nation ON Brink Of Crisis

Striking paragraphs from President
Wilson's speech on preparedness:
There are men all over the United
States prepared. equipped and ready to
go out at the call OF the national gov
eminent upon the shortest possible
notice.
You will ask me, why do you say the
shortest possible notice?
Because, gentlemen, let me tell you
very solemnly you cannot afford to
postpone this thing. / do not know
what a single day may bring forth.
l do not wish to leave you with the
impression that am thinking OF some
particular danger. / merely want to
leave you with this solemn impression
that l know that we are daily tread
ing amidst the most intricate dangers,
and that the dangers that we are
treading amongst are not OF our max
Ing and are not under our control;
and that no man I'm the United States
knows what a single week or a single
day or a single hour may bring forth
These are solemn things to say to
you, but 1 would be unworthy OF my
office il did not come out and tell
you with absolute frankness just ex-
actly what understand the situation
to be.
The world Is on fire.
Sparks are likely to drop anywhere.
Things are getting more and more
difficult to handle
II all could see the dispatches |
read every hour they would know how
difficult II has been to maintain peace.
New circumstances have arisen for
which the country must prepare itself.
America is not afraid of anybody.
l am afraid Of the danger OF shame.
am afraid of the danger of made
quacy.
am afraid of the danger of not be-
ing able to express the great charac-
ter OF this country with tremendous
might and effectiveness when we are
called upon to act in the field of the
worlds affairs. -"
And where the action of others may
bring us l cannot fortell You may
count upon my heart and resolution
to keep you out OF this war, but you
must be ready IL IL is necessary that
should maintain your honor.

Good old Preston county is coming
to the front and getting out OF the
woods In spite OF her big Republican
majority. The good roads movement
Is the all-absorbing question over

the great war in Europe and even the
big political campaign that is right
upon as has been side-tracked over
there By the good roads movement.
Recently Portland district. one OF the
largest and most mountainous in the
county, with Terra Alta az the metrop-
oils, voted for over a quarter million
dollars issue OF bonds for good roads,
by big majority. and Tuesday OF this

THE CAUSE OF rHs DEFICIT

1t Is well to jog the memory OF the tax
payer that he may understand who was
misrepresenhng to him the deficit and
the causes which lead up to it. The Re-
publican press claimed that the deficit
was due to the cause Of the loss of the
liquor license and the Paint and Cabin
creek strike in the Kanawha valley. 1t
was stated that the Kanawha valley strike
cost 100000. The audit just issued states
that 1.-THE industrial trouble in the Ka-
nawha valley cost over 500, 900 for main
tenance OF law and order" or 500, 900
less than the Republican press claimed.
In the meantime the state tax had been
Increased from one cent (under Demo-
cratic legislature) to six cents, and again
from six cents TO ten cents TO cover the
loss OF the liquor license and defray the
expense OF the Paint and Cabin creek
coal strike. And in 1915 it was again
increased from ten cents TO fourteen cents.
In addition TO these increases in the state
tax Gov. Hatfield, in an address before
the coal operators at Fairmont recently,
was quoted as saying that there was now
a deficit Of $776, l5l.Os. But the Gov.
ernor failed to explain why deficit
after raising the state tax from one cent
TO fourteen cents. In reply to fragrant
extravaganza the Governor says there
has been no extravaganza. Let us see:
Take the state senate. For the regu-
lar and two extraordinary sessions Of the
Legislature the senators were paid s., 2s4,
while they paid to the attaches, such as
clerks, stenographers, pages, ETC., $32,-
969.S0, or FOUR times more than was
was paid the senators. 1t was claimed
by many that they had so many useless
attaches they were actually in the way OF
one another. AS an illustration they had
NINE janitors. Would any business
man employ nine janitors to look after
building the size Of the senate chamber?
Here is the real cause OF the deficits and
the constant increase in the state tax
creating useless offices TO give TO men
who will work for the state house
machine.
West Virginia argus. [volume] (Kingwood, W. Va.) 1877-1946, 1916-02-03

Here few items taken at random from
the state audit that will give an inkling
as to bow the money lie expended: For
the rear ending June 80, 1915, the total
expenditures Of the state tax commits
hionsr's Office was $56, 7oI.2 20; public SER
vice commissioners Office $50, 500. 70;
department Of mines $40, 5S0s1, and
adjutant generals office SOC, Os3. 96. One
OF the big items in each department is
travelling expenses. 1t is surprising how
much they have to travel.
