realty, which latter caused more
than three-fourths of the increase,
because of the fact that building op-
erations have been almost at a
standstill and not anywhere near
their usual normal increase.
This increase does not, as Mr.
Hallanan has pointed out, in any
sense represent the true and actual
value" requirements OF the tax laws,
but it shows that big step has
en- taken toward that standard,
which, when obtained, will bring
taxes down proportionately every
where and at the same time pro-
vide the needed revenues with
which to conduct the state govern
ment and it's institutions. Many of
the larger counties of the state did
not show as large increase in as
sessment valuations as the smaller
ones, but Mr.. Hallanan explains
that this was due to the fact that
there was not ample time for a
thorough revaluation in such coun-
ties. Steps have been taken, how
ever, so that a complete revalua-
ton Of the property in these larger
counties will be had for next year.
This will greatly increase the state
tax duplicate and further enable a
reduction of tax rates.
The theory Of the state tax law
is all right The fact that valu-
tons fell so low was due principally
to the war imitation and the dropping
of the value of the dollar and not
to any inherent fault in the theory
upon which the state tax law is
based

COMMENT OVER
WEST VIRGINIA
HIGHER EDUCATION MEANS
HARD WORK.

The president of Union College
remarked to the students at open
ing of the semester that There is
no reason why a boy who comes to
college should expect an easier time
than the boy who goes to work in
factory or an Office" Doubtless he
meant to convey the warning that
the boy who expects to have an easy
time in pursuing the college course
is doomed to disappointment, as he
should be. II college means any
thing for a boy, or girl either, it
should mean hard work. Otherwise,
it were better that he stay at home
All over the land the institutions
Of higher education which amount
o anything have as many students
as they can accommodate and many
have had to turn away applicants.
No longer is it question Of get
ting students. The problem is to
find room for those who come with
out urgent solicitation. That being
true the institutions are in posi-
ton where they need not hesitate to
weed out those who think college
course is lark and that the chief
object is good time. A college
course is an investment and it is
hopeless to expect profitable unless
every possible opportunity it offers
is used.
Further along the president said
THE idea that in coming to college
boy is postponing his life work for
four years while he floats down the
stream OF time untroubled by the
hard relations that other young men
Of his own age have to face is not at
all our idea Of what college means"
OF course, that does not mean that
student is to have no relaxation
or enjoyment, that he shall be a
grind. The grind is never very
popular and it is not certain that
he gets the most out of college.
Health demands recreation but col
lege spirit does demand that one
shall stand we'll IN ones classes.
1t is the boy with brains yet not
recluse who commands the most
respect. 1t was President Garfield
we believe, who said that his idea
Of a college was boy on one end
Of log and Mark Hopkins at the
other. We have come beyond that
today but it is fully as important
that the boy be of some account as
that the college stand well. If the
boy is no good no college will make
much out of the material. Most
any college can do lot Of good
to the right kind of a boy. That
goes for girls too.

STATE TAXES AND THE WAR
STAMP,

(From the Carksburg Telegram.)
The state administration deserves
credit for the splendid showing it
has made in the effort to bring about
valuation OF property for tax pur-
poses in the face of the great eco
nomic upheaval occasioned by the
world war, which cause, a whole.
sale change Of values and prices
everywhere.
The total assessed valuation of all
property in the state for 1921 is
1892, 646,S63, which is an increase
over the preceding year of $113,O52,-
464, according to statement pre-
pared by Walter S. Hallanan, state
tax commissioner. This is one of
the largest increases ever made in
property valuations in the state ex-
cepting during 1905 and 1906 when
the first revaluations were made I'M
der the revised tax laws. The in.
crease represents for the most part
a readjustment instead of a normal
increase in property, especially

We believe all this was evidenced
by the pilgrimage this afternoon.
The plants at Inwood, to be sure,
are worth visiting-they are doing
an important work and they are ex-
tensive enough to attract attention.
But beyond the motive Of curiosity
to see a new plant W believe is the
feeling among the business people
of Martinsburg that they want to
keep in touch with the interests in
the county and for that reason are
glad TO return the visits which the
country people make to the city.
ACTION AHEAD
We are informed that the only
obstacle to prompt opening of road
work on the state highway system
by the state authorities under the
$50,000,000 bond issue has been the
failure Of the sale of the first install
ment OF the bonds. News yester-
day tells Of arrangements for. the
sale of this securities to New York
banking house at par with accrued
interest. The prospect for work.
therefore, is materially increased,
although 1t is regarded as question
able as to whether work should be
opened up now with winter and
cold weather not far ahead. How
ever. the sale of the bonds is the
first step towards execution OF the
plans since the appointment of the
commission which will handle the
work: and West Virginians may
feel assured that road improvement
will not be long postponed now.
SUCCESS TO THEM.
A committee of Rotarians yester-
day, business and professional
men, was named and instructed to
consider the problem of remedying
conditions at the local Jail with the
view of making some arrangement
whereby the county will cease to be
the target for judicial and general
public criticism of tSe manner in
which it tanes care Of its prisoners
who are, despite their incarcera-
ton. human beings and thereby en-
titled to decent consideration. The
County Court has indicated that 1t
Is unable to find any way to remedy
matters except through a bond is
sue which woulr provide a new Jail.
Many disagree with this view;
many hold that the matter Of sew
erage could be taken care of prop
erly by the expenditure of a sum
which would require no bond issue !;
and 1t is believed that the sewerage
is the chief difficulty. The Rotar-
ians are good business men, accus'
toned to attacking difficult prob
| lens, and they are prompted by a
| desire to render assistance in solv
ing a public problem. We hope
they can suggest remedy. and we
| are inclined to believe that the
committee, acting with the County
| Court, will find solution.
