COMPLICATIONS Feared
As Result of AttOrney.GeneraI
Sheets's Ruling.
Powers of Decenniai Board Are Clearly
Defined-The Latest News From
Ohio's Capital. -- a q q s--

From a Staff Correspondent.
Columbus, Dec, 19.-Attorney General
Sheets's opinion defining the powers of
the state decennial board of equaliza-
ton, was formally placed before that
body yesterday afternoon. He holds
the board has the same authority as its
predecessor of ten years ago except
ing with reference to one rule which
gave the board power to make horl-
Zontal increase or reduction the grand
total Of taxable valuations of the state.
Fear is expressed by many members
that the opinion may precipitate serious
complications.
Under the attorney generals ruling
II a reduction Is to be made In ono
county or municipality, proportfonate
increase must be made in other coun-
ties or municipalities in order that in
the total aggregate there will be no
change. A number of attorneys have
been questioned regarding the boards
rights and many of them disapprove the
holding Of the attorney general. Several
members have served notice that they
will resist any move to increase the
valuation in their respective districts.
WILL OPPOSE ADVANCE. 3,
Mr.. w. B. Crawford, of Augusta, Car
roll county, representing the Twenty
first senatorial district on the board,
stated today he would oppose any at
tempt to raise the valuation in his dis
trict, but admitted that a leveling mp
process would have to be put into ef-
feet, but as to what method the board
would pursue he knew little about. The
danger imminent under the opinion is
that municipalities might get out in
functions against move to raise valua-
tions higher than they stand on the
certified statement of the county au-
ditors.

member of the board of managers of

At THE State HOSPITAL.
Every Patient In the Institution
Will Be Remembered BY
Santa Claus This Year.

Massillon, Dec. 20.-The question is
often asked by persons who have ex-
amined the statistics of the hospital
what peculiar feature the farm life can
have to be responsible for so many
insane. or the 270 men received at the
institution during the past year rs were
farmers. DR.. Eyman attributes this
condition mainly to the fact that this
district contains more farmers than any
other one class of men. He admits,
however, that the life of the farm, with
it's many hours of toll, lack of relaxa-
tion, and, sometimes the lack of
mental exercise, are to some degree re-
sponsible. Broad and liberal educa-
tion," said DIR. Eyman yesterday, "is a
preventive of insanity. The young
man who has been brought up on the
farm, accustomed to hard physical
work, but seldom exercising his mental
faculties, and usually dependent upon
the father for the general management
of things, is, If thrown upon the world
and brought into contact with too
many of its rough places, little pre-
pared to fight off the introspection
which results in his becoming melan-
choly and eventually an inmate of one
of our institutions"
Every patient in the institution will
be remembered by Santa Claus this
year, as heretofore. Every express
brings bulky packages for the inmates.
A Christmas tree is to be erected in the
chapel. The presents will not be hung
thereon, but will be distributed at this
time. The minstrel show by the EN-
ployes will be the amusement of the
evening. Oranges and candy will be
distributed among the patients on
Christmas.
Leo Langanki, of this city, who was
recently removed to the institution, af-
ter making an assault upon his mother
and sister and being declared a degen-
crate by Massillon physicians, has
shown signs of improvement, and the
authorities expect to prove him of
some worth after all. He once took it
into his head to run away from the asy-
lum, but these notions have now ap-
parently vanished.
