STATE TREASURER
WANTS THE TAXES
Corporations Are Advised
to Make Their, P Payments
Direct. Il i

tBy Associated Press)
CHARLESTON, w. Va, Dec. 81
Breaking down practices which have
been in use in West Virginia since the
state was founded. by which the state
auditor has exercised the authority Of
designating the banks. known as state
repositories, into which the public ser.
vice corporations of the state shall pay
their taxes, later to send certificates Of
such deposits to the state treasurer
for record, Treasurer w. S. Johnson
las taken the position that this author
ity belongs to him and declares that
he intends to be state treasurer in fact
as we'll as ii, name.
In support of his position, Treasurer
Johnson has secured the passage by the
state board Of public works of reso-
luton directed to all public service cor.
rorations in the state, requesting them
ito pay their i917.1S taxes, when due,
by check or draft, in amounts not to
exceed $4,000, drawn in favor OF w.
$. Johnson, state treasurer, and for
ward same to j. s. Darst, auditor. And
The auditor is Hereby directed to trans
NIT copy of the foregoing resolution
TO each public utility corporation"
In stating the purpose of his action,
the treasurer points out that 1t is nee
essary, so that he may be in position
properly to protect the state and its
funds under two important risks for
which he, as treasurer, is held respon-
sible. One Of these risks Is the over.
depositing Of funds in some Of these
banks beyond their bonded liability to
the state, over which his only means OF
cntrol, under present practices, is
through checking out those funds in
paying the states obligations as drawn
en- him by the several departments.
The state, he further explained, has
165 designated repositories; each OF
which is required to furnish minimum
bond of $4,000, and each OF which,
under that bond, is permitted to have
not more than three.fourths of that
amount Of state funds on deposit at any
one time. These bonds must be renew.
ed each year and the record of such
bondsc and their renewals are in the
hands Of the state treasurer.
The second risk in the present sys.
tenn is in depositing state funds in
banks at times when their depository
bonds may have expired and have not
been renewed, in which event the state
is without any protection whatever.
In view Of the fact that the taxes

In these words he explained yhy he

Twelve thousand calves a day are

calves are from to 10 weeks old. and

"But so long as the people will pay

work and enthusiasm on the part of
our ladies. This is real patriotism
manifested in deed rather than mere
words.
The Base Hospital soon to be es-

reports from headquarters, expects
great co operation from the Algiers
Branch. A knitting class will soon
be organized for the purpose OF knit
ting sweaters for our boys in France
and elsewhere. The Southern boys
will need these more than any others,
hence it makes this work more neces-

to be hoped that the comforts they
