Taxation Issue Eliminated by
Admission Of Democratic
State Chairman.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, Nov. 3.
State taxation as an issue in the
present political campaign has
been eliminated by the admission
Of the Democratic State Chairman
r. F. Dunlap that his own county
Of Summers. like eleven other
Democratic counties of the state,
was receiving more money from
the state government for the sup
port OF local schools than 1t was
paying in direct taxation to the
support Of the state and toward
the payment Of the Virginia debt.
. The cry Of exorbitant taxation
and charges that taxes were be-
ing wrung from the small tax.
payers for the use OF the state,
originally made by the Demo-
cratic chairman and the Demo-
cratic leaders over the state, was
stopped short by the action of
State Chairman NJ. 2. White Of the
Republican state committee when
he produced the official records
Showing that in these counties
where the campaign issue was
raised, the state was giving thou
sands Of dollars in excess OF what
had been paid in direct taxation.
In Summers County Chairman
White showed that the state d.
rect tax only produced S11,135 In
1921 for state purposes and an
equal amount for the payment of
the Virginia debt, while that
county received in direct aid for
their schools the sum Of $72,5O6
from the state. Chairman Dun
lap, admitting that Summers
County was receiving more than
she contributed, says that Chair
man White displayed "faucity If
constructive thought" in reveal
ing the official records.
Today Chairman White directed
attention to an equally interest
ing situation in Monroe County
whore the Democratic leadership
sought to win votes on the cry Of
exOrbitant taxation by the state.
The records Of the state show
that in 1921 Monroe County paid
direct taxes of S2O0;336 for all
purposes, state, county, district
and municipal. OF this amount
$9,754 went to the state for state
purposes, and an equal amount to-
ward the payment of the Virginia
debt. In return for this aggre-
gate Of S19,5OS contributed to
state and Virginia debt purposes,
Monroe County received in school
aid from the state the sum Of
$59,211, or approximately $40,-
900 more than the county paid to
the state.
1.-THE voters of Summers and
Monroe counties realize that the
state has been very liberal in the
aid extended to the support of
their schools, but a few politicians
and the Democraticf newspapers
in those counties thought they
could raise the cry of high taxa
tion by the state government and
by this deception win votes for
the Democratic ticket,' said
Chairman White.
"Tho official records show the
duplicity Of the Democratic lead
ers and the fallacy Of their argu-
ments. They show conclusively
that these two counties are receiv-
ing more from the state govern
ment than they give to the state
in direct taxation. They constI-
tute a silent but effective warn
ming to the Democratic leaders to
contine themselves to the real is
sues Of the campaign and to cease
twisting and dlstorting facts for
attempted political gain"
