RESULTS Of' SEVERAL ATTEMPTS present Ohio System Full of Imprac- tJeiibilitles Is the Vordict of Every Person and Commission That Has Investigated the Subject With a View to fiemedyir.g ExiGtlnri^Cvifc. The uniform, rule of taxation re­ quired' by the state constitution adopt­ ed in 11553. never has been and never can be enforced according to its letter. This fact ha3 been recognized by every person who has intelligently studied the.subject rvith an unpreju­ diced mind, .More than this, it has forced aeltnowledsojnent from many honest but prejudiced minds by the farce of its truth, Every person, organization and oCl- cia) tax commission set to the task of studying Ohio’s system of state and local taxation, with the view of expos­ ing its evils and discovering remedies for such evils, has reached an Identi­ cal conclusion.. The evils are the re-- spit of attempts to enforce an Imprac­ ticable rule, The remedy is to classify property far taxation so that subjects ip each class can bo dealt with justly.

The climate'is healthful, the air is dry and invigorating, and the .percentage of sunshiny days is high* ‘ Outdoor work can be done almost every day in the year. Rainfall is,amply suffi­ cient to raise the crops.. Regular mail service has been established, the roads are good, rural telephone lines traverse the country, and automqbiles are in common use.

CASTORIA $6t Infant* m& OMldreh. Ik ity You Haft Always Bo#f Beat* ths of IS NO EXCUSE For Voters Not Fully Undsrstantilng Proposed Tax Amandment .. The proposed taxation amendment to the constitution has safely passed both houoes of the Ohio legislature, and will now be submitted to the people at the coming November election. There wjll be no excuse for any voter not understanding It fully, and Voting upon it intelligently, for there is am­ ple time for every one to study It and to understand It, Even if the amendment to the con­ stitution entries, It docs not give fo the state & new tax law. It only en­ ables the legislature to pass a new law. At this time the constitution fixe* the classification o f property lor taxation, or rather it falls to fix it, but States that the legislature may not make any classification. The section o f the teonEtitntlon relating to taxes If more than 50 year# old, and is, of conr&s. obsolete at thi# time. How­ ever wise it may have bM t in its day, it now is a detriment to the state. Tbo amendment to he voted on this fall is, in substance, this: Are you in favor of the legislatur* enacting new taxatioh laws? Those who- object to the proposed amendment, bass their whole argu­ ment on tho statement, namely, that taxation is too important a subject to leave to the legislature. These op- I Oneats o f the amendment olalm, and with soma reason, that as a rule legis­ latures are corrupt; that to give a legislature unlimited powar ta classify property and make laws governing its taxation, is to place in the hand* of & dangerous body a power so great that the incentive to become traftdr* could not or would not be restated by them. But such-argument do** not seem sound. To state that the voters of this state can not or will not elect A legislature that is abftv* grafting Is fo accuse the voter* o f » * all of.the men o f the state—«€ being in­ competent to carry on * jwpnMican form of government.
