G. 0. P Administration Has
Failed to Inspire Conf
dence OF PEOPLE.
Lack of Courage and Accomplishment
Has Marked First Year of Execu-
tive Career of Gov. Morgan

A lack of public confidence, a Lack
Of courage and the absence of any ac-
complishments of constructive ma
ture for the good of the
people as whole has mark
ed the first year of Repub-
lican administration in West Virginia
under Governor b. F. Morgan. accord
ing to r. f. Dunlap, Democratic state
chairman.
In reviewing the first year of the
administration upon the request of q
Charleston newspaper, Chairman Dun
lap says in part:
AS 1 review the first year of the
present state republican administra-
don, 1 observed three outstanding
facts, a lack of general public conf
dence, lack of real courage, and a
lack of governmental Accomplishment.
The wholesale auction of suffrage
which has been practiced I'm the cleo
tons in this state and which was 80
prominently brought before our peo-
pie in the last primary between the
republican candidates for governor
has become so common that details
no longer shock or appall our people.
NeWberryiSm, which has been so
roundly condemned throughout the
nation Is not new in this state. The
public has general knowledge of these
facts and also the disregard in which
party platform pledges are held so
that confidence in the public govern
ment is at a low ebb and IN its place
has sprung up suspicion and distrust
Of public officials and contempt for.
our laws.
"The methods employed to bring
about the nomination and election oil
our present officers, their failure toI
measure up to the responsibility oil
maintaining the law against the trea-
sonable marchers, the prodigal wastei
Of the peoples money by the last leg-I
islature, the attempted destruction oil
all the accomplishments Of the tax
commissioners office in the way Of as
sessments in the past - years. the
disturbing Of property values and bus
mess conditions throughout the state
by new and r6Siical reassessment are
matters Of statewide importance that
conclusively establish that the public
have lost confidence, that the admin
istration has shown weakness when
courage was demanded and has fall
ed TO safeguard and protect the gener-
al interests Of the citiz0ns OF the
state"

ton throughout the state, for efiicien-
cy and economy in administering the
affairs of state, county and district
and that it is opposed to any arbitrary
increase in farm assessments, that Il
believes before any general increase
in valuation is made a statute SHOULD
be passed reducing and limiting tho
rate OF levy and the amount of bond
issues, that the values fixed in the
year 1921 are as high as they should
be, and that these values should no:
be changed, except in the equaliza-
ton thereof"
The law the state tax commissioner
is now trying to enforce is the Daw-
son tax law of 1904" says Chairman
Dunlap, when we were given the
same promise by its patrons as we
now hear, that by re-valuation OF
property our taxes would be reduced.
The state tax rate was reduced until
In 1917 IT was one cent (lc) but since
that time ii has had continuous up-
ward trend until now it has reached
the maximum levy allowed by the
law and although businesses have
been heavily taxed until the burden
has greatly restricted the activities
of our industries and the progress OF
our state is impeded, the funds are
not sufficient to meet the wild extrav-
agance of the Republican administra-
ton and increased valuation is an alb
solute essential to enable the collec-
ton of sufficient revenues to defray
the Increased appropriations given by
the last legislature
This explains the great activity TO
increase valuations and this false
promise Of reduction in amount of tax
Is only political anaeSthetic to quiet
the people until they are bled to eX-
hauStion. The people have been fool
ed once by this same propaganda
They Will not be fooled again.

GENERAL WEATHER CONDITIONS

Generally fair weather has pre-
vailed over the country east of the
Mississippi during the past twenty
four hours, under the influence of an
area of high pressure of considerable
intensity centered this morning over
the upper Lake region. This high
pressure area has caused colder
weather over the northeastern states,
and temperatures we're below freezing
this morning in the Lake region, New
England and New York. 1t is slightly
warmer, however. over the southeast
ern states, except locally on the Flor
ida west coast.
In the west, there has been rain or
snow over the Pacific states, the pla-
teau region and portions of the Rocky
Mountain region. The low pressure
area which was centered Thursday
morning over Idaho has moved south
eastward over Colorado. 1t is warm
er over the Plains states and Rocky
Mountain regions, and colder west of
the Rockies.
Indications are for fair weather in
the vicinity of Tampa tonight and Sat
urday.

MARKET STOCK AND WHEAT

New York, March 17-Crucible Steel
was the outstanding feature at the
opening of the stock market making
an extreme decline of 1% points as
result of the passing of the dividend.
Bethlehem Steel forfeited a small
fraction, but United States Steel was
unchanged. In other quarters of the
list initial dealings indicated a contin-
uance of the recent advance. Coppers
made substantial additions to yester-
DAYS gains and oils, motors. sugars
and tobaccoes reflected the confident
attitude of bull pools. Rails were
slightly lower, some issues strength
cning, while investments inclined to
ease.
Washington, March 17.-Stocks of
wheat in country mills and elevators
possess only 9 per cent of that crop.
This is the smallest percentage for
these stocks in the same months in
ten years. The highest record is 16
per cent.
Average wheat stocks in country
mills and elevators March / during
the past five years were about 81
100000 bushels. Stocks this year
were 20 per cent less than the FIVE
year average. Wheat stocks of this
cfass were as much as $1,000, 900
bushels in 1916 or 112 per cent more
than the 1922 figure,
