Expense Fund Is SweIIed

Expense Fund Is SweIIed
1.-The other sources OF revenue are
the direct levies on personal and real
estate. This has to make up for all
the other sources fail to produce. To
do this. the tax commissioner has had
$4,000 appropriated to enable him to
have the assessors Of the state re-
assess real estate, especially farm
land. He has done this in the face Of
decline in the value Of farm prod
ucts of from 100 per cent to 300 per
cent, and a decline in the value OF
farm land Of from 20 per cent to 40
per cent. He has increased the values
by from 30 per cent to 100 per cent.
agriculture in West Virginia has
been on the decline for twelve or more
years. In 1910, there were 9G,GSj
farms I'm West Virginia, in 1920 there
were $3.50. In 1910, there were 49,
o2G,4d2 acres in the farms of the
state, in 1920 there were 0,569, 100
acres. This smaller acreage has been
increased in assessed valuation from
S2OI ,0IJ,159 in 1910 to $3O7 300, 704
in 1920. The mortgage Indebtedness
on farm lands in West Virginia in
1910 was $5,592, $1,000 and In 1920
it had increased 10 S11 ,20J, 9J3.O0 or
an increase of 1904 per cent. The
debt per farm in 1910 was $1,000; in
1920, 1t, had increased to S1,241.O0.
While there was decrease i'm farms
in West Virginia in this ten year
period the total farms increased in
the United States by S6,SGi. There
was less improved land in West Vir-
Sinia in 1920 than there was in 1910.
In this ten year period farm mort
cages increased $5,613,42O.OO.
"In face Of these facts 1t Is
perilous undertaking to increase
assessments Of farm land arbitrarily
in order to prevent deficit due to
unscientlic taxation of all property in
the state ut its true and actual value.
"As we see 1t, there is but one way
to 90 about this problem. The basis
Of taxation should be determined by
a commission made up of experts.
Said commission should be absolutely
non-partisan. The bipartisan plan is
as bad or worse than a one-party plan
because il divides responsibility and
promotes trading"
This commission should have the
authority TO investigate every indus
try, every natural resource, every
business enterprise, determine the
amount of overhead, base farm values
upon the production of the soil under
reasonably good management, and
then fix the basis for taxation as a
bank fixes the basis upon which TO
declare its dividends, or Il partner
ship determines the profits for divi-
sion.
IF the commission has to sit
permanently and il it costs the state
fifty, a hundred, or even five hundred
thousand dollars year, yet the
results obtained by fair, equal
and just taxation OF all property Of
value in the state will justify the ex-

A RESURRECTION.

A oiuish-green caterpillar spun. one
october afternoon, a silken cocoon up-
on willow-tree. There it hung all
winter long, looking to the unobserant
like shrWeled brown leaf.
The frosts of winter came. the icv
winds blew and the snow drifted ON
and around the willow, but the leaf
like home was not disturbed.
Spring at last had forced Winter n
relax its hold on the meadow-land
where the brook now dubbed and
gurgled over its pebbly bed, all tumul-
tuous and joyous with awakened life.
Catkins hung in tasselled daintiress
on every branch of the bordering will
lows, and the alder bushes were be-
ginning to put forth tiny leaves.
1t brought also message to the
"shriveled brown leaf" From one
end of the cocoon, a head with two
feathered antenna pushed out. follow
ed by the large, velvety body striped
with red, brown and white. Ii looked
all body, for at the sides were folded
the moist and crinkled wings. Its
strong, hairy legs anxiously sought a
firm footing, and then, with con-
slant huttering movement, those in
significant looking wings slowly ex-
banded and dried until thew measur-
ed five inches from tip to tip. Cor
geous white, brown, black and red
markings were revealed which harmon
lied with its body colors. The &C.
cropia moth was ready for Hight-a
creature of exquisite grace and rare
coloring.
From the repulsive, crawling, cater
pillar stage of the year before. the
same life, transformed and beauti-
fed, had emerged from its apparent
death in the cocoon to a fuller, richer
life of activity.
Thus at each joyous Easter season
an intimation of the resurrection comes
to us from Gods wonderful insect
world, breathing a message of hope
and joy and infinite peace to all man
kind.
And with childhood's credulous af-
lection
We beholG those tender wings ex-
banded,
Emblelns of our own great resurrec-
ton,
Emblems of the bright and better
land"

Gather For Judgment Day.

The Moravian churches Of this coun-
try have their Passion week, with
somewhat peculiar rites. They set
tied in Pennsylvania and North Caro-
lima. At Bethlehem and other places
in Pennsylvania they are the FREEDOM
mating religious sect At Salem, N.
c., they established very interest
ing and unique colony in 1853. There
they have a strong church and one of
the finest colleges in the country.
Religious service is daily occurrence
in the church during Passion week.
The sacrament is administered and
many of the younger set are confirm
ed. On Saturday, the closing day,
they have the love feast and break
bread together as one happy family.
The juvenile pleasures are not over
looked. Late in the afternoon of Satur7
day the children are to be seen busily
engaged about the hedges and fences
constructing rabbit nests in which they
expect rabbits to lay eggs during the
night, and they are never disappoint-
ed; they always find the nests boun-
tifully supplied with various colored
eggs on Easter morning.
The church congregation is up be-
fore the dawn of Easter day. They
assemble at the church and proceed to
the burying ground to welcome the
dead should they rise. They are led
by a brass band and church choir.
The concourse passes up the broad
graveled walk, which runs between
rows Of ancient cedars, to the center
of the cemetery, which is odd, quaint
and beautiful. There they pause and
sing hymns, in which all the people
join. The singing stops as the sun
light comes over the rugged eastern
hills. All is silent and solemn while
the clergymen reads out the names
of those who have been placed to rest
in the burying ground since the pre-
vious Easter.

The Tax Arrangement


I'm the last session Of the legisla-
lure, the Democrats proposed as a
matter of political expetliency and
strategy that tax of Onehalf to
,ne per cent he levied on coal, oil,
sas, lumber, etc, and that tax be
placed on net incomes, graduated
from one per cent on 5000 to $4,000
ID tn four per cent on incomes of
100000 and over. and that a tax of
,ne-fifth OF one per cent be placed on
public utilities, banks, etc. This was
counter to the Republican proposal,
which passed, placing a tax of three
ifths (G1O) of one per cent instead
Of the Democratic proposal of one
,alf (5-1O) of one per cent on coal,
iii, gas, lumber, etc. (this had been
increased from two-fifths To three
ifths by amendmenO. On these
ems. YOU will note that there was
Shepherdstown register. [volume] (Shepherdstown, Va. [W. Va.]) 1849-1955, 1922-04-13

difference of only one-tenth Of one
per cent.
Instead of proposing graduated
net income tax. the Republicans pro-
posed II gross sales tax Of one.fifth
OF one per cent on all gross sales
above $4,000. This. like the Demo-
cratic measure, exempted the small
business concerns, but makes 1t equal
on all others. The only merit that
this tax has is that II Is easily
estimated and probably 1t is more diff
hcult to dodge than is the net in-
come tax. As revenue producer its
merits are very questionable.
"The tax on coal. oil. gas, lumber,
etc, is placed where it belongs but the
basis upon which 1t is determined Is
entirely unscientific, and there is no
way of telling what it should be. 1t
Is the result of compromise and po-
litlcal jockeying. The fact that the
bill was amended on a compromise
increasing the amount 100 per cent is
evidence of the manner OF tax legis-
lative enactment.
