Of the state. and some counties value
exceedingly iow-one county is report
ed to value at twcnty-threc per cent. of
actual value. Eight different boards
equalizc now. when two for the whole
state would be more efficient ana
cheaper.
A second way to reduce taxation is to
decrease expenditure. Salaries are too
high and bear no proper relation to the
amount paid Tor similar service in pri-
vate business. 4 man will gladly ac-
cept salary of Si00 to 81 600 per year
in business, and when elected to a
county Office get from five to ten times
as much for less work. performed in
fewer hours and with scarcely more re-
sponsioility, and when his term of
Office expires viii gladly return to his
former employment at the same wages
If, indeed, he is not capitalist and
lives on his accumulations.
All salaries of municipal, city and
state officers are too high, and the
number could be greatly reduced with
out dctrimcnt to the public service.
Local boards, especially, rate money
as if the ability of the taxpayer were
unlimited.
Many offices in state and county
should be made self-supporting by fees
charged for the services they render.
And state office created to regulate or
control any business needing state
supervision to keep it within the law,
should, from the business supervised,
pay the expense of the office. Another
way to decrease expenditure would be
to correct or reform the habits of our
people in the direction of temperance.
More than one-half of our taxes are
made necessary by the evils of the traf-
fic in liquor, and measures to repress
or abolish the traffic would at once
greatly lessen taxation, decrease the
enormous cost of our Judiciary and
lessen the number of our penal and re-
formatory institutions.
Now the means to be used to reduce
the present burdensome taxes. Some
Of them have already been limited at.
Let the reform begin at home. Be
strictly honest yourselves and then you
can do some missionary work among
your dutl
to the tax assessor all property now
escaping taxation. Ostracisc the tax
dodger as a public enemy. Don't call
him smart when he succeeds and
unfortunate" when he is caught.
Use your votes as you use your moral
influence. If a party or an official is
extravagant in the use of public money,
count it an offense that can. not be con-
doned. and use your lead pencil and
vote for the other fellow, and if all the
candidates are unworthy make ticket
OF your own. 1t will not under our
laws be voted, but it is not d lost vote.

Our Ohio tax laws, like the decisions
of our Chic supreme court above re
ferrcd to, have been a growth. At first
the needs of the state were few, and
real property svas in sight and it was
made to bear the larger part Of the ex-
pense OF government, and this tax was
so light that it was not burdensome.
Then came the desire for schools and
roads and public buildings, which
would enhance the value of property
and add comforts and necessities, and
real property willingly assumed the
added burdens: these public improve
ments also increased the value and
amount of personal property. This
new kind CT property at first bore its
fair share of the public burdens, until
about thirty years ago. If you will
compare the grand duplicate of Ohio,
for all the years up to the
close of the civil war. you will notice
that real and personal property was
substantially the same in all the coun
ties of the state, and in the aggregate
of the whole state. One increased side
by side with the other. during all these
years. and SO uniformly was this the
result here and elsewhere. that politi-
cal economists assert it as law, that
tangible and intangible property are
always practically the same in amount
in any given time and place. About
the close of the war, this equality
ceases, and while real property has in
creased right along since, intangible
property has practically made no in
crease. and in many cases has become
less according to the tax duplicate.
Why did this equality cease about
this time? Many of you recall the eX-
travagant public expenditure of the
years about the close of the war,
the creation of new offices to reward
favorites and so on. which necessitated
a higher rate, and then intangible
property began to hide, because it
could, and this again increased the rate,
because again a given amount of
money had to be raised and less
amount of property was compelled to
raise it. As the rate increase, the more
property was hidden, and SO it has
gone on until farmers and real estate
owners in cities and villages. and ma
tional banks pay almost all the taxes
paid in the state of Ohio. There is,
however, a great difference in the
ability of these classes to pay tax. The
landlords can, ordinarily add tax to the
rents on his property and the banks
can add their tax to the rate of inter
est demanded, but the farmer can not
add his tax to the price of his wheat,
or cattle, or horses, or wool The prices
are fixed by others, and if an article of
export, are fixed in foreign markets, on
the basis of the cheapest labor where
products enter that market.

rhe New Catalogue OF the Ohio State Uni
yersify.


The rapid growth of the Ohio State
University within the last four years
has been matter of pride to the intel
ligent people of the state. A striking
evidence of this growth is presented in
the new catalogue of the university
which has just been issued. The cata-
logue of last year contained 15f pages;
that of ten years ago contained 81,
while the present one contains IA. An
examination shows two new courses Of
study-one of four years leading to the
degree of Bachelor of Science in Indus
trial Arts, and the other course of
three years preparatory to the study of
medicine. The former includes large
amount of drawing and show work,
with enough literary, scientific and
mathematical study to insure intelli-
gence and breadth of training. The
latter is made up chiefly of studies di-
cectly relating to medicine, such as
anatomy, physiology, botany and
pharmacy, but includes also consider
able amount of language and science
and the elements of psychology. Stu
dents who complete this course will be
given credit for one year in their sub
sequent course in medicine.
The addition of these two courses
raises the whole number provided in
the university to nineteen, of which
fourteen lead to degrees, including de-
grees in arts, philosophy, science, en-
gineering, agriculture, veterinary med
cine and pharmacy.
There are nearly seventy teachers
and eight hundred students. Of the
students six hundred and forty-four
are collegiate, fifty-seven law, and
ninety-nine preparatory.
Those who wish any particular kind
Of knowledge about the institution
must find great satisfaction in the full
ness of information, the natural and
convenient arrangement, and the am
pie index of the catalogue. In these
respects it is a model
Those who think of going to college
ought not to fail to obtain and study
the admirable catalogue of our own
broad and vigorous state university.

Potatoes with TheirlJackees.

An English scientist, after care
full experiments, finds that when po-
tatoes are cooked without removing
the skins they lose only three per
cent. of nutritive quality through
extraction of the juice. When the
skins are removed before boiling tho
loss was fourteen per cent, which
makes the process of cooking the po-
tatoes without their jackets an e1N
ceedingly wasteful one.

Henry B. Foulke Says the Coxeyites Ma
EncRmp at Onset Rav.

IncRWp at Onset Hav.
BUZzARD'S BAY. MASS, June ~
Henry b. Foulke, theosophist, Of Phia-
delphia, Pa. on arriving at Onset Bay
yesterday lost no time In dropping a bomb
in the sprtualists camp ground by start
ing a story to the effect that COXey's
army would soon encamp right under the
eyes Of President Cleveland. Such an un-
expected story caused no little excitement
for a time, and many laughed at IL as
ridiculous.
There is no doubt that Foulke has
following at Onset. Many persons believe
him TO be the new Messiah he calls
himself The fact that he predicted such
an organization as COXey's army three
years ago leads many TO believe HIS state
ments now made can be relied upon.
Mr.. FOulke Is a warm supporter OF
Coxey and his movement, and believes
II Is only the beginning Of the end Of
terrible struggle between labor and capi-
tai, which will spread over the entire
country.
"Coxey." he says, "eannot remain in
Washington. Why not come TO these
shores where there is plenty OF room and
abundance Of clans to dig and wood TO
cut? Here they can live simply and dress
economically"
Should the Coxey army locate In this
vicinity It will tend 10 make things very
unpleasant for the President and his
family at Gray Gables which Is just
across the bay. IL would not be surpris-
ing If MIR. FOulke succeeds in his move
ment that the Clevelands should take
leave Of BuZZards Bay at once.

SENSATION IN GERMANY.
Count Won X otze Arrested on "a Most Extra
ordinary Charge.

BERLIN. June 22.-The Cologne Ga
zette to-day has caused sensation by
announcing that Count Won Kotze, one
OF the masters Of ceremonies Of the i'm
perial court, was arrested on Sunday last
on a most extraordinary charge.
The arrest Of Count Won KOtze is the
result OF four years or patient police m
vestigatlon. During All mat period
members Of the highest aristocr acy Oh
Germany have been in receipt or anony-
nous letters and postal cards. 1nese
missives, in most instances, were useu
by the anonymous writer 10 make the
worst and most indecent personal ac-
cusations. either against the persons TO
whom they were addressed or against
their intimate friends or dearest rela-
tives. Nothing seemed too bad for the
anonymous writer 10 intimate 70 his vie
Tins and the result was that very bitter
feelings were caused in many worthy
families. Husbands were taught 10 sus-
pect their wives, fathers learned 70 doubt
their sons. daughters began TO look with
suspicion upon +'eir mothers, lifelong
friends were separated. and In brief. ir-
reIsTable wrong was done In great
number OF noble families. The Count
is found 10 be the author or these let
ters.
The general opinion seems 10 be that
he will be confined I'm an asylum.
