GOVERNOR SCORES PLUMB PLAN


A 6iarlng Case OF Class Seifshness
Shortly after appearance Of th'
Plumb plan 81 railroad control, Gov
Cornweli Of West Virginia. wrote tn,
governors Of other states. calling al
tention to the loss in tax receipts tbs
states would suffer II the Plumb plar
acre adopted He estimated yearly
Icss for his own state at $1,000, 600
His action wRs criticized by officers Of
certain labor unions al Huntington. w
Va. 10 whom he thereupon wrote as
follows.
when you asked for an eight hour
day was with you. heart and soul
was then and am now in favor Of
your securing not only fair, but a
liberal wage. but when you ask the
farmers and the laborers in other lines
70 40 in debt twenty billions through
the federal government to buy the
railroads and give them TO you to OPP
crate for your benefit and to use as
you please, you are making PROPOSE
ton neither sane nor fair.
ITO me il is little short Of amaz-
ing that men possessing the intelli-
gcnce of the trainmen | meet should
be gulled into making such unreason-
able ad outrageous demands.
III the people bought the railroads
and gave them TO you to run for your
benefit, telephone and telegraph en-
ployees would demand the same thing
Of those properties. They have as
much right to make that demand as
you have.
'Then the farm laborers, with even
better right would say, we produced
the food you live on--buy the farms
and give them TO u.s. Then we have,
not socialism, but chaos. They are
trying to run things that way in Rus
sia and we know the result.
Il intend to try to present to the
people Of the state what this plan
means, First, as to the shifting of the
burden of taxation, or some four mil |
lion dollars OF it, in West Virginia |
from the railroads onto the farmers
and home-owner If the Plumb plan
were TO 20 through. 1t would make
Cabell, Wayne, Mcdowell, Mercer and
Mingo counties unable TO pay the debt
they are creating to build public roads.
1t would stop road building, building
Of school houses, and all public i'm
provements.
