themselves unfairly and unjustly anu
in exorbitant amounts. Taxation IN
West Virginia should no place q bur-
den on the shoulders Of any individual
which would be appreciably greater
that that same Individual would have
To pay under like circumstances and
conditions in another State. This not
only holds good for the individual but
for all business enterprises.
A large West Virginia manufactur-
er state in Clarksburg the other day
that he had more money invested IN
factories in Pennsylvania and pro-
duced a greater output than his fac
tories in West Virginia. His taxes, he
said, were approximately five times
greater In West Virginia than they
were in Pennsylvania. If such n con-
dition be true, and there Is but slight
excuse to doubt 1t. then the people OF
West Virginia had better ask them
selves why?
The question Of taxation LIS OF the
utmost importance and should be
gone into most thoroughly BY every
voter in West Virginia, so that II
they are any discrepancies or faults
In our present system they may be
picked out and corrected. .,
