POCAHONTAS NEWSLETTER
FROM RUSSIA.
Pocahontas. Va. July

POcahontaS, Va, July Il.
Talking about the high cost of liv-
ing, our American people are not in
it, according to letter received by
Louis Raffel, of Pocahontas, from
his mother in Russia. He has just
received letter from her which was
dated Dec. 10Th. She made no men
ton of conditions there under Boil
shevik rule, but she did refer to the
prices being paid for commodities.
She says she is paying 80 cents per
pound for beans, $3.50 per pound for
meat, cheap lard $4.00 per pound,
butter $500 per pound, and $500 per
pair for ordinary shoes.
Some seven or eight automobiles
loaded with Pocahontas Masons and
also members from Abb's Valley,
Boissevain and Mud Fork, went to
Graham Friday night to attend a
stated communication of Harman
Lodge No. 222, A. F. and A. NJ, at
which there was work in the Master
Mason's degree. Rt. Wor. B. E. Ward
paid his official visit also at this time.
The Pocahotas team conferred the
degrees and from reports received
the work was we'll done. Those who
went from hero were: B. E. Ward

PRICE OF COAL AT THE NINE.
(New York Times.)

Whenever the high price of coal
becomes a subject of discussion from
the owners of the mines and from
the men who stand between the own
ers and the consumers comes first
and rs the best of their explanations
or excuses, the undeniablc statement
that cars for carrying conl are scarce
and all transportation and terminal
facilities inadequate to the country's
needs.
The tendency of that to make the
coal prices high is Understandable Inv

TAxORDINANCE
IS UNDER FIRE
Merchants to Attack Meas
ure When Discussed at
Public Hearing
SMALL DEALERS
ARE OPPOSED

The pending tax measures before
City Council will be discussed at a
meeting OF the committee Of the
whole next Wednesday night. and from
present indications there will be a
large attendance OF those who feel
That their business is being taxed too
heavily. The ordinance is only in the
process OF drafting, according to
Councilman Forwood, chairman Of the
finance committee. and the public is
invited to meet with the committee Of
the whole Wednesday night and state
their objections.
The concensus Of opinion is that a
number OF changes will be made in
the proposed ordinance before its
passage, as under the present arrange
ment some businesses seem TO be
taxed unjustly The small grocer. il
is said, would be subjec. to from one
TO ten taxes on the various side lines
he carries in stock. ~ feel that the
grocer woul make no protest AGAINST
a single direct tax" William 4. Skel-
lenger, secretary OF the Retail Gro
GERS Association stated last night Mr..
Skellenger stated that it was likely
that the association would meet prior
10 Wednesday eevning when City
Cauncil will give a hearing on the or
dinance.
Mr.. Skellenger said that he would
discuss the ordinance with Council
man FoiwOOd, chairman OF the finance
committee, before this Wednesdays
meeting. lie added that in stating
that the grocers would not oppose a
direct tax he was speaking as an in
dividual
William r. Budd. secretary OF the
Chamber Of Commerce one OF the
committee that brought about a sat
isfactory arrangement for computing
the State mercantile tax commenting
on the proposed ordinance, said he
felt the most equitable way TO levy
such a tax would be to base 1t on
the gross business per year as in the
case OF the State tax. Mr.. Budd in
his statement makes it clear that
this is only his personal opinion and
in no way reflects the sentiment OF
the Chamber Of Commerce.
The ordinance under consideration
is the subject Of much discussion. In
pointing TO the necessity OF increas-
ing revenues during the current year
prominent city official cited the re-
cent authorization OF an increase In
the police force which received univ
ersal approval, adding $4,000 10 the
expense OF conducting the city this
year and the likelihood Of increased
