February 4 at 3,0 A. M, at the court house. The final decision rests with the commissioners and all that oppose as well as-those who lav- are asked to he present on that date and express theh? views. Thus meeting is for. the express purpose o f getting a line on the sen­ timent of the property owners. 'The commissioners no doubt will be guid­ ed solely as to the sentiment at the coming meeting. . The Greene County Farm Bureau as an organization will discuss the te-Valualion at the annual meeting on Tuesday January 29 ■and probably send the recommendation to the com­ missioners Meantime petitions 'have been started by several farmers who oppose re-valuation seeking signers. That the public might have some way of expressing- sentiment, the Herald has asked a number of farmers and land owners in this and, adjoin- l*1£ townships for an expression as an index as to sentiment in this end of the county. We .will endeavor to interviewtethers during •the coming week. These men are located in different sections and, farmers, that have been successful and are influential and their, judgment cannot be questioned. In our canvass not aman refused to give an expression for publication and 4f as will be seen not a single one comes out for a re-valuation, 0, L.

R., C, WATT— , ; * ' v , t t With taxes and insurance at $5.00, •an acre on my land, I am opposed- to any re-valuation unless a reduction .ie guaranteed beforehand. FRANK TOWNSLEY— Real estate id now paying the bulk o f taxes, Make more o f an effort to , getytponay in banks and building .and If^^y lp^tea^gdiaiaona „ og , for taxes and ’ The.far- 'M WILLIAM CONLEY— As for a general increase in the tax duplicate I am opposed to it. There are many inequalities in presentvalu­ ations but a great sum of money should not be spent to correct these. D. M. KENNON— Are the farmers of the county go­ ing to sit back quietly,and permit this imposition tube put on us? All I can! see in it is a chance to provide a Jot of fellows jobs at the expense 0f the taxpayers. Jam against it and.will do what little I can to get others to op­ pose it. ’ S. K. WILIJAfdSON^— , , I have passed through many re-val­ uation campaigns in my time and I have heard repeatedly about higher valuation meaning a lower rate. Every time it has resulted in taxes be ing ,increased. We' were made prom­ ises in 1910. Fair valuations were made then -but somewhere between Xenia and Columbus the valuations were increased again. The next we discovered the rate was increased so wfehsd.a higher-rate on higher valua­ tions and it lias continued ever since. Promises amount to nothing; ■1 want to congratulate the Herald for giving the people the opportunity to Express their sentiments and also to urge far­ mers to attend the Xenia meeting or send their protest in.

CLEMANS— . A sample of re-valuation was brot to my attention’ Over in Clark county Tuesday. In making £ loan for,-an in­ surance companyI could get less than $8,000 on a farm o f 135 acres well located and a productive farm with substantial*buildings that,was on the duplicate in that county for $16,000.' Buyers fop farm land, what few there ate are now watching the tax value Of land and any incrase in' this county in any form will be against the land* HENRY SMITH— ' I am decidedly opposed to any at­ tempt to re-value. You cannot have a re-valuation unless it is increased. Otherwise you are spending the money for nothing-1 think the commisioners should turn it down. ARTHUR CUMMINGS— The voters defeated the Taft bill at the last election which should con­ vince tax spenders how the tax payer feels. There being no Chance* to in­ crease tax rates, an attempt is now to be made to increase valuations. As for me I am against any change. N ,P. EWBANK—, While I have expressd no definite opinion up to this time and realise there may be some unjust valuations as they, stand, I doubt the wisdom of any change at this time. I- n Hryart,« Candidate F. B. TURNBULL— While in. Columbus last week I learned something of what was up be­ fore' the Ohio Tax Association, One king the association adopted Was com pulsory re-yaluation. The chairman of tile meeting 'was Representative .Taft, whose tax bill was badly defeated in the referendumvote last: fall. Its'a ftprur-ls lajs tiS»hit has been for years and tile talk o f increasing thi improvements on a farm only means that much more taxes, paid in. The farmer that listens to1pleads of re^ valuation as ameans of lower taxes is only fooling himself; If the farmers will exert their influence the conimis- sioners; will have no ground for call­ ing for a re-valuation.

WANT LUCI0US AMOUNTS FOR RE-VALUATION WORK Ther« are other counties in the state that are considering the re-val­ uation o f teal estate besides Greene county. The Columbus Dispatch says the county auditor haa asked for $200, 000 sis a minimum to start the work of re-valuation in that county If it is undertaken. The city of Columbus wants additional funds and not being able to increase the tax rate, it is now proposed to increase the duplicate by re-valuation. The Dayton Journal says that the county commissioners have been ask­ ed to arrange for loans from the Day- ton banks for $150,000 to fittanoe tbe proponed re-valuation in Montgomery county. The city o f Dayton -has bam urging re-valuation for more than a year1to tettvfdo additional funds, the county has ae meaerfisrtiiiifcjp^ ABOUT EARt|" SUCCESS 1400 FEBT^DOWN FORD AND M^-ipLH SHOALS ‘that form molecules/ and "molecules .that form what We call matter, the particles of that matter: being as far from each other, in proportion,to their j size, as the earth is from the sun,. ,Thera m n<? reason why radio Waves j shoiiIdh*t go janywhere,.
