SATISFACTION IN THIS.

HE public should read the report Of State
i Treasurer W. S. johnson and congratulate
itself that West Virginia is in such Hne financial
condition.
The state treasurer whose complete report was
givch in Tuesdays West yirglnian Gives clear ac-
counting of the public money he handles and COM
ments, "all Of the important funds are in splendid
condition" This statement is borne out by the
figures which show that the Virginia Debit bonds
have all been redeemed for the current year. and
more than half OF the bonds for the coming year
taken UP.
The treasurer points out that many voters hesi-
tLted to vote for the $50 $1,000 road bond issue
because they were afraid 1t would cause large
increase So far these Eears have proved ground
less Tho state income from automobile licenses has
taken care of the 100000 sinking fund and tho
Sf5v,OOO Interest in connection with the road
bonds, and no state levy nus been laid upon the
people SO far for road bonds. There will be enough
money come from this source TO take care OF the
road bonds for next year also, and Mr.. johnson,
soes no taxation Of the people for two Yeas. any
way, because OF the state road bonds. Tho treas
urer further declares that he believes the increase
in revenues from the sale of automobile license
tags will be sufficient 10 take care Of the entire
S5O,0OO,O0O when issued, and II the people are
finally called upon to pay any part OF the expense
II Will be but for short time aud small amount.
These two debts are West rvirginias solo obll-
cations. III truth they are not light obligations.
but the way is clear for their payment and the state
and lis people are not grooming under the load.
Since industry has been so unsettled and general
conditions very uniavorable 1t is indeed encourage
Ing and cheering to know that West Virginia Is
sound and solid and amply able to discharge hor
obligations
