'J’lie Richmond Times*Dispatcn dis
cussing tlie rather foolish subject of the
respective merits of democratic and re
publican state governments, asks “how
d;.es Democratic \ irginiu compare with
Republican West Virginia in political
idenl.s and achievements?” in arguing
to uphold the supei iority of democrats
g nerally over their republican breth
ren.
Some republican state governments
are nothmg 10 be proud of and some
democratic government are equally
abominable. On the other hand, there
are good republican and good democrat
ic state governments. It is an absurd
•y.oposition to argue from any stand
point, but so far a* West Virginia’s ad
ministration is concerned it has nothin*
to fear from comparison with Virginia’s
Jn West Virginia the citizens are tax. i
o;ily six cents on theft on to support tin
state, Tn Virginia they are taxed 5
cents on the $100. In West Virginit
t!ie corporations are compell-d to paj
their share toward the maintenance o']
state and local governments. Virginia’?
chief course of revenue is from taxation
imposed upon the horn- s and farins'ol
tiie people, and it is a paradise for tax
dodging corporations. Though intrinsi
ca’iy more valuable because of thei,

Taxation Without Representation. \
We very heartily approve of the
editorial f.om the Morgantown
Post-Chronicle which we quote be
low. It in timely and sensible.
The people of West Virginia are
j neither intelligently or sati-faetor
dy represented in the state senate,
and they ought to rise up him! de
mand a change in the present sys
tem, so that they can have sena
tors of their own choosing instead
of being represented by men foisted
upon them by corrupt corporations.
The editorial we refer to is as fol
lows:
‘‘Two senatorial districts of
West Virginia consist of five coun
ties each. I nder our system the
ten counties have only four sena
tors to look after their interests in
the upper branch of the State Legis
lature. Six of these ten counties
can have no representation from
among their owu citizens iu our
State Senate.
Six other districts consist of four
counties each. Twelve of these
twenty-four counties are always
without a senatorial representative
from within their own borders.
These eight districts coutain thirty
four counties, and only sixteen of
them have the privilege of sending
their own citizens to any upper
house of any one legislature. The
other eighteen are disfranchised in
the state senate.
J u»* remaining seven districts
consist of three counties each, ami
seven ot these twenty-one counties
"!Vva>s in the disfranchised
"roup, in tome of these three
cornered districts the rotation plan
makes it impossible for the same
senators to serve two consecutive
i terms, so that the cou ities ot these
| districts are hardly ever represent
ed by an cxpei ietioed statesman.
In others of these seven three-cor
nered districts some one county so
dominates the situation that it prac
tically hogs the entire representa
tion, claiming one senator from
among its own citizens eveiy legis
lature and carrying a kind of poli
tical mortgage on Hie other, by
reason of its preponderance of vot
ing strength in the general election.
No wonder that a senate thus
constituted it unresponsive to Un
popular w ill, .that it is disposed to
take orders from the lobby and
from the managers of the political
machines rather than from the peo- i
pie. The only way to get a satis
ta«-tor\ senate is to elect one sena
tor from each county. Under such
\ system both brand es of the legis
lature will represent all the peop.e
of the state. Such a system ac
coids with the principles on which
<>ur form of government iH estab
lished. —Shepherdstown Ilegistor.
1 lie above is cert ainly a sensible
article ami wo heartily concur in all
it contains. A change in the pres-j
out system is needed and an 1 need
ed badly.
