WASHINGTON, D. c., May 12.-
If any West Virginia corporation, pri-
vate partnership or individual citizen
is tickled plumb to death over the pro-
posed new revenue tax bill now before
the House, it, they or he hasn't been
heard from senator or representative
composing the states delegation.
There may be such, doubtless are, but
they are prompted by no necessity to
write and tell Of their elation. Such
cannot be said Of numerous others,
who are keeping stenographers, the
mails and the telegraph wires busy
with protests. Taken them by whole
sale, by and large, If the proposed tax
es go through approximately, there is
going to be general business disas-
ter in West Virginia. There isn't a sin

protest which doesn't predict the ruin

which he is concerned If the tax pro-
posed to be placed upon 1t is accord.

ton, are by no means cool, calm and
collected under the bombardment.
Quite the contrary. They are very
much stirred UP and uneasy over it
for, in the main, they can do little to
stop what is proposed to be done in the
way of new taxes. Here and there
there may be change in the bill as
drafted; in fact, there is likely to be
any number of changes. But 1t is
doubtful If they will be so numerous as
to satisfy every West Virginian who
is sending in an plaintiye wall over
what is proposed to do to him par
ticularly in taxable way. The Sen
ate will hold limited hearings on the
bill, which the ways and means COM
mittee of the House did not do, and
that body, 1t is probable, will, 1t Is pre-
dicted, effect so many changes as to
virtually rewrite it. However, that
isn't expected to minimize the num-
Der nor the vigor of the protests, for
it is reasonable to expect that where
change satisfies some, 1t will operate
to cause dissatisfaction among an
equal number of others.

"The coal industry in West Virginia
is thriving to an extent that is almost
beyond human comprehension" said
Fleming s. solden, of Clarksburg at
the Willard today. Every person in
West Virginia who is lucky enough to
own a tract of coal as small as an AGRA
or two is opening 1t up and placing his
product on the market.
Large corporations which have
been operating for years are reaping
a harvest, and justly soSbecause when
one considers that these companies
have operated at loss for great
number of years it is no more than
right that they should reap benefit
from the present high market. Time
was, and has been for years in West
virginia, that the people had to &C.
cent in the sale Of their product
price which no more than paid for the
expense OF mining. During those
times the overhead and fixed charges
incident to the operation of a large
corporation in the coal business were
a dead loss"

grotesquely displaying fantastic shoes,

A FOX AND A CROW.

SIr. Grow was sad thief. He hadn't
didn't quite understand that 1t Is very,
very wrong TO take things that don't
belong 10 you.
So when he saw nice piece or
cheese In a cottage window he wanted
IL very much. He waited until no one
was about, and then he flew down and
took the cheese.
or to the woods he flew, thinking no
one had seen him, but In this ne made
a mistake. Mr.. Fox had seen him. Mr..
Fox was providing about the chicken
house, wondering If he could not carry
of nice fat hen for dinner.
When Mr.. Fox saw Mr. Crow sneak
right after him. Mr.. Fox liked cheese
too.
When he reached Mr.. Crow he found
him perching on top OF tall pine tree
with the cheese fondly balanced In his
bill.
MY dear Mr.. Crow, how are your
Mr.. Fox began. I'm delighted to see
you. You're looking splendid. But,
then, you always do look well, and
your high spirits seem never to leave
you. heard yesterday you were the
life Of that charming party In Farmer
Gruff's cornfield."
The crow looked so pleased that Mr..
Fox went on:
las you know, l never flatter, but j
want to tell you how delighted i was
with little snatch OF song / heard as
l passed the corntield. A more delicious
voice than yours l have never heard.
| wonder If you could repeat that little
song for me? l had little argument
about il with Mr.. Owl. He was sure
the chorus ended with three caws in
stead OF with long drawn out cav, As
| said 1t did"
Cav, cav! began the crow, and the
cheese fell right into Mr.. Fox's open
mouth. He gobbled IT down IN Sec
Ond and then trotted off through the
woods, laughing to think how easily
he had fooled Mr.. Crow.
The cheese which the crow had stolen
had been fixed by the housewife for
the rats that troubled her greatly. She
had only laid it in the window for
minute before she took IL to the cellar
10 put in some dark corner to tempt a
rat. Inside of the cheese was poison,
and when Mr.. Fox swallowed 1t he be-
gan to feel dreadfully ILL., BY the time
the crow came along looking for his
cheese tho fox was too Ill to speak. 1t
took long time for him to get well,
and now / don't know whether he
hates cheese or crows the most.
