Tom Baskin, the late Democratic
Representative of this county in the
Legislature, showed his usua
shrewdness in declining to be can
didate FOR reelection to that body.
He no doubt feared to face the dam
aging record made by it as the most
corrupt, blundering and good for
nothing Legislature that has ever
disgraced our State. So Tom
thought he would run for another
Office, and selected the Probate
Judgeship as a nice, easy berth, and
one that would ''pay" better than
going to Columbus. But . he is
reckoning without his host if he
supposes the people are going to
forget his Legislative record, espe-
cially his vote for the Geghan bill, al
the demand of the Catholic priest
hood, and his vote for the amend
ment of the Adair law, which was
demanded by the liquor interest
His election to the Office of Probate
Judge would be a virtual endorse
ment of his course as Representative
but unless we are greatly mistaken
the people of this county will say
to him by their votes, "Thou ar

TAXATION OF NATIONAL BANKS
Either through ignorance or dishon-
esty, Democratic papers and speak
ers frequently assert that the Ma
tional Banks are not taxed, when the
truth is they pay precisely as much
tax on their capital stock as any
citizen pays on his real estate, money
or other property. DR.. Guthrie,
formerly of this place, recently made
a speech at q Grange Picnic in
Brown county, in which he made
the assertion that the National Banks
were exempt from taxation. Mr.. W.
L. Galbreath, Cashier of the 1st
National Bank of Ripley, replies,
through the Georgetown Sentinel,
and shows that the Bank of which
he is cashier paid the State last year
21 per cent. taxes on each 500 of
it's stock, amounting to $5,375, in
addition to which it paid the Nation
al tax of 1 per cent. on it's circulat-
ing notes, and J per cent. on its de-
posites, amounting to $1,675. A
National Bank in NIillersburg, Ohio,
recently wound up its business be-
cause the Directors considered the
State and National taxes they were
required to pay as too heavy bur
den.

The Republican Meeting
Last Saturday,

Was the largest political gathering that has been
held in this place for number of years. There
was no attempt made to get up any imposing dem
onstration in the way of parade or procession but
the people came together quietly, to the number of
from two to three thousand, to hear the political
issues of the campaign fairly and ably discussed
Every township In the county was represented by
leading and active Republicans, and quite num-
Der of ladies graced the meeting with their pres
ence.
At O'Clock the meeting was organized by calling
DR.. ]. L. Wilson, of Greenfield, to tho Chair, and
appointing J. L. Boardman Secretary.
The Chairman then introduced Gov Morton of
Indiana, who proceeded to address the people,
holding their fixed attention for over two hours,
in thorough and mastery discussion of the fnan-
ces, the school question, and the past record and
present designs of the Democratic party.
The Governor, owing to his lameness, was obliged
to remain atcd while speaking, but succeeded in
making himself distinctly heard by most of the large
audience and it was evident that his clear statement
of facts his logical arguments, andoccasional bursts
of fervd cloquence, produced deep and abiding im
preston upon all who heard him. AT the close of
his speech, many of the audience, including several
ladies, pressed up to the stand, and shook hands
with him, and DR.. Noble called for three cheers
for "Indiana's great War Governor which were
given with q hearty good will.

Some of the Democratic brethren
grumble a good deal at Tom Baskin,
because he would have the nomina-
ton for Probate Judge, instead of
accepting a denomination for the
Legislature, according to the usages
of the party. They think that it is
rather unreasonable in Thomas, to
claim the right to pick out the best
Office in the county, and refuse to
take the one he had before. Conse-
quently, it is doubtful whether
Thomas will receive very enthusia-
astic support from some of the
faithful.

GFor the News.
More Democratic Economy

When it is claimed by the Democracy as
merit, that in the past two years there is
net reduction in the State levy of one
tenth of mill, made to stave off debt,
which, with accruing interest, must be pad,
it should be remembered that the local rate
for road purposes was, at the same time,
increased fve-tenths of a mill. The de-
crease in tio0 years amounts to $156, 724,
while the increase in one year sums mp
$1,000 The total State rate for the
year 1875, under the act of 1873, would
have been 2 $40 mills, instead of 8 LILO
mills, as it now is !; and consequently the
amount of taxes collected on the duplicate
of 1875 is $313,44s more than it would
have been under the act of 1873.
Another result, then, of the financial
legislation of 1915 is net increase to the
total taxation of the State of $533,276. !,
In addition to this there were special
acts in 1915, authorizing special taxes in
Al counties in the State, of which High
land was one, which amountin the aggregate
to $1,G94, 296. The local acts of 1874
alone authorized a tax amounting to $780,
322. This year, with the local acts of 1876
added, they amount to 1856, 426, making
for the two years S55l, 74S, which is ST.
0Si,02 more than it would have been un-
der the act of 1873.
By the State Auditors report of 1874 it
is shown that the total taxes on the grand
duplicate for each of the years 1868, 1869
and 1874, were largely in excess of those
of any preceding year increasing from
800, 253,615 in 1867 to $26, ,S37, 196 in
1874.
And yet, in the face of these facts and
figures, a few unprincipled demagogues
are trying to deceive the voters of both
parties, with the false claim that the Dem.
ocratic party is in favor of financial refor-
nation, and is laboring to relieve the tax
payers from burdensome taxes, etc.! More
