KEIMi DEFICITshare of the taxes of the state .

"I would be fair to all these interestsbut they suouia be fair to thostate as well.-They should trust' thepeople of the state instead of endeavoringin many ways to controllegislation in their own Interest."The proposed privilege tax on naturalgas passed through pipe lines,

and which failed of passage in theSenate after passing In the House,was a just measure of taxation andshould have passed the Senate insteadof meeting defeat there. Inmy opinion such a tax should havebeen placed upon both oil and gasyears ago. This bill just as it washad to be defeated in the Senate, andthe oil, gas. coal and whiskey lobbyistsaccomplished their work by combiningtheir forces In the Senate. Noone, knowing the situation as it reallyexisted at the time, will deny, thisstatement, for it was brazenly proclaimedby one of the combinationsenators right in the Senate chamber.

"Other measure of just taxationmet the same fate at the hands ofthis self-same combination of senators.

"Oil. gas, coal, timber and waterpower constitute our chief naturalresources, and under the guise of'developing our state' severaVof theseresources have been exploited untilthe state has almost been despoiledof Lhem. My own county of Randolphand the adjoining county orTucker have been practically despoiledof thousands of acres of virginforest. A .small production taxon lumber would have built permanentroads in both of these counties,and their timber is now gone andneither county has a single mile ofpermanent, macadamized road, buthave been 'developed' until well nighpoverty stricken. In a way.nothingremains of our great natural wealthexcept a part of the coal and thewater power, and these self-same interestsare still instrumental in defeatingall revenue laws, as was evidencedby their activity in the lastsession of the legislature, they standready to 'develop' the few remainingLLctiuicfi ;^uuici;9.

"Gigantic fortunes have beenmade and are being made throughthe exploitation of West Virginia'snatural resources, and most of theseproducts are taken out of the stateleaving in lieu thereof nothing butpoverty and a memory of 'great Industrialdevelopment,'"The people will eventually awake

Lo their own interests. Our greathidden wealth is still sufficient, ifpropertly guarded and husbanded,:o exchange for permanent highways,the best of schools and all public, institutionsnecessary to the happinessxnd well being of all our people. Thepeople will yet awake and look totheir own and their children's welfare.""Thank you, senator, for the very

frank expression of your views onthis important question, but whathave you to say as to the governor's:position?" the newspaper man asked."Governor Hatfield has taken a'

firm stand for the people, and his-position is well understood by thenasses who accord him all t'ue creditfor his commendable fight for the;people's interests."
