OF confiscatory. as claimed, re-
lief would be granted them, but,
by vetoing the bill, Gov. Hughes
deprived the people of the chance
to have their side of the case
heard.
In other words, there was such
a thing as a square dSal both
ways. Neither the governor nor
any one else could determine
which side was entitled to relief
without exhaustive investigation,
but Gov. Hughes, who was elect
ed by the people as a whole and
not of one particular part of
them, and was therefore, in a
sense. trustee of the interests OF
the people. gave the railroads the
benefit of all the doubt in the case
and estopped the people from
having their claims heard on
their merits. He assumed tina
the roads were entirely in tn,
right and the people entirely il
the wrong.

HUGHES AS A FRIEND OF THE
PEOPLE

Among the high lights of
Hughes record as governor OF
New York was his veto of the bill
prohibiting railroads from charg-
ing more than two cents per mile
for fares in the state of New
York. The bill was passed by
both houses of the assembly and
Gov. Hughes, after due cOnsidera-
ton, applied the executive axe
on the grounds, as stated in his
veto message, that it was unjust
to the railroads.
Mr.. Bryan's reply to Gov.
Hughes message was and is alb
sOlutely unanswerable: The gov
ernOr might honestly believe that
the bill did the railroads an injus-
tice, but it had had the approval
of both houses Of the legislative
branch of the government, and if
it became a law the roads had the
right of appeal TO the courts.

THE DEMOCRATIC REVENUE
BILL
THE

The comparatively rapid prog
ress of the emergency revenue
bill through the house allowed
the country little opportunity to
study all its provisions. Atten-
ton has been attracted to the eX-
traOrdinary features of the in
come tax, and to the sections pro-
viding for a tariff commission, but
not so much has been heard about
the tax on munitions. The bill
is designed to bring in Sf97,00O,-
600. The munitions tax ought
to supply a considerable portion
Of this amount. Although the
bill probably will not pass thru
the presidents hands for a num-
Der of weeks, even postponed APP
prOval will not dimish the rev.
enue which is counted on from
the munition manufacturers. AS
it went through the house, the
bill was retroactive to the list of
January, 1916.
The tax is regarded as a novel
adventure in the collection Of
revenue. It's adoption has been
urged ever since the beginning of
the war, especially when it became
manifest that certain industries
were in the way of making enor-
nous profits. It has been felt
that this business could we'll af-
ford to bear an extra burden.
Doubtless this belief had much to
do with the ease with which the
whole measure went through the
house. Section 2Oi specifies
that every person manufacture
ing gunpOwder or other ex-
plOsives shall pay for each tax
able year an excise tax equiva-
lent to given percentages "Of the
gross receipts during such year
from the sale or disposition of
such explosives manufactured in
the United States, except blast
ing powder and dynamite" The
tax on receipts to $1,000, 600 is 8
per cent and on receipts i'm eX-
cess of Si,OOO,OOO is per cent.
The production of cartridges,
loaded OF unlOaded. caps or prim-
ers; prOjectiles, shells or tOrpe-
does of any kind, including shrap-
mel, loaded or unlOaded, or fuses
firearms Of any kind, including
small arms, cannOns, machine
guns, rifles and bayonets, shall
become liable to taxation in the
following degrees: 2 per cent on
receipts up to S25O,0O0; 3 pei
cent between S25O,0OO and $500,
900; per cent up to 100000
and per cent on more than ST.
100000.
1t is evident that the small
manufacturers, those who handle
job lots for the big war contract
ors, will not have to pay so heavi
ly, in proportion, as the great
centralized arms factories anC
powder mills. The tax is eX-
tended to the smelling of copper
ore, the refining of metallic cop
per or the alleging of copper. Per
centages in this case are eX-
tremely low. 1t was felt tina
copper, as an essential element il
she production of munitions, Tho
much used in other industries
should bear some part of the tax
The law provides against evasion
and a long but rather obscure
clause deals with exemptions
chief allowances being for a II
per cent profit. Administration
of this law will mean greatly in
creased labor for the commission
eT of internal revenue.

REPUBLICAN MONEY -----

ON the success Of the Republican
ticket IN state and nation. From but
two places in the entire state has this
challenge been inquired about. Tne
gentlemen OF inQuiTinE minds at the
other end Of the phone were told IN
each instance to have any local banker
acting for them call up and money
would be covered. But no bankers
called up and no part Of that FlO'ooO
The OFFER still stands and the syndi-
cate is prepared to take on twice that
sum II it can get that much placed.
Its members are still hoping that they
can get part OF 1t UP II not all. but al
init thar the outlook is not very bright
since there doesn't appear to be any
body in the whole state OF West Vtr-
ginia who is anxious to take any one
or all OF their propositions.
Locally, there hasn't been any VIII
son or CornweIl money OF any conse-
ouence put up for ten days. and the
snoring element at Fairmont which
two weeks ago was making a noise
like betting on Wilson and Cornwell
have shut up since their offers were
