MARKET VALUE OF SHARES.
It is Too FIuctuating to Be Made the
Basis of Taxation.

" Is 90 fluCtuatin9 10 BE hdoe tno
Basis of Taxation.
The supreme court of the United
States, in Adams Express company v.
Ohio, 165 United States Reports, 194,
held that the market value of shares
Of stock in corporation is the real
value. Under this decision it is obvi-
Gus that great injustice might be COM
mitted in the assessment and collection
of taxes against corporations. For it
must be remembered that corporate
stock is always liable to violent fluc-
tuations, and that the value of such
stock on the market one day may be
far below, OF far above, the value on
another day.
The value of such shares always
vacillates through the effect of causes
which may increase or decrease the
dividends upon the same, so that there
is no true mean value which can be
assigned to such shares for the pur-
pose of equitable taxation. In the case
cited above the court selected three
strong and well-established express
companies. the Adams, American, and
United States, the value of whose stock
is pretty stable, and not liable to sud-
den or violent fluctuations. But while
the shares in these well-established
companies may be fairly stable, there
| may be a hundred whose prices will
gyrate like a kite in mid-air, and re-
tain no fixed or sta~4e mean value. The
value of the variable stocks may be
| rs on the day the assessment is made,
and then drop to So the next day,
through the manipulations Of Wall
street SPECTATORS.
Take the stock of the Lake Erie and
Western railroad, for instance. A short
| time ago it was at very low figure.
But when it became known that the
Vanderbilts had secured control of the
| road the stock quickly jumped to a
high figure. 1t thus acquired purely
| artificial value, wholly dependent upon
the control of the property by body
| of powerful capitalists. But this value
was not a normal nor mean value,
but one regulated by special circum-
stances, and liable to sudden and vio-
lent change.

CLAIM CANCER CURE.
German Scientist Says MalariaI
Poison is a Safe Antidote.

Berlin, Oct. 2l.-The injection of
malarial blood as scientific cure for
cancer, is proposed by DR.. Frederick
Loffier, Professor of Hygiene in the
ancient Royal University of Griefs-
wald Prussia. Professor Loffler is the
German pathologist who discovered
the bacillus of diphtheria. He finds
that amid tropical conditions most
conducive to the contraction of malaria,
cancer is of extremely rare occurrence,
and has been led to the conclusion
that when malarial poison is admins
tered as therapeutic, it acts as a safe
antidote to ali forms OF cancerous dis
ease.

LOWER TAXATION
Will Be the Ou.come of the Re-
publican Tax Policy.
WHAT NINE YEARS HAVE DONE.
Total State Revenues Increased One.
Half as the Result OF Republican
Legislation In That Time.

Total State Revenues Increased One
Half as the Result OF Republican
Legislation In That Time.
The difference between doing and
talking is once more Illustrated, to
the very great benefit of the taxpayers
of Ohio, by the record and actual re-
suits to be credited to the Republican
general assemblies and state admins
trations for the past nine years, as
compared with the empty pretense of
the Democratic state platform of this
year. That document is full Of prom
Use, but against it stands the fact that
cade the work has been accomplished
in spite of Democratic opposition and
obstruction.
At this time the general rvenue fund
of the state of Ohio is in receipt Of
more than one million five hundred
thousand dollars than was the case
nine years ago, and yet all this i'm
mense gain has been made without
the addition of the millionth of mill
to the rate of state taxation. Every
cent of this increase, too, has come
from corporations or from kinds Of
business that previously yielded little
if any revenue to the state at large.
Had it not been for the splendid
condition of the resources of the COM
monwealth, there is not one of the in
stitutions for charity or education, that
are such vast blessing to thousands
of our helpless ones, but would now
be crippled in it's maintenance, unless
there had been a corresponding in
crease in the taxation of the people of
the state at large. New institutions
have been put into operation during
this time, such as the State Hospital
for the Insane at assillon, the State
Reformatory at Mansfield, and the In
stitution for Epileptics at Gallipolis.
Besides that, every then existing insti-
tuition has been enlarged to meet the
current demand due to the growth OF
the population of the state, and has
been improved to increase its efficien-
cy. With all these additions, the net
increase of expense to the state has
uOL, dllcl dli, hCpS paw win t4AN
growth of the Institutions themselves
so that this extra expenditure is in
itself the highest testimonial to the
| humanity of the state of Ohio.
But the present point is that it was
| impossible, with the finances of the
state as they were when the Republic
ans came into power, when Governor
Mckinley succeeded Governor Camp
| bell. At that time the public debt o
Ohio was S2.291,6 ,665. 1t now stands a
$751; Governor Campbell found i
4ecessary to use $339,6S2 received from
the general government toward cur
rent expenses. The last fiscal yea
closed with a balance in the state treas
ury of S1.520.910. These facts are di
rectly due to Republican Legislation
and administration, and that party, 81
far from ignoring state issues, take
just pride in its record, and challenges
comparison with any other politica
organization that ever attempted t.
administer the affairs of this state.

1t is a rarity to find campaign in
which there seems to be no question
as to what the result will be if it is
not altered through neglect or over
confidence. Ohio has always accorded
her loyal support to the nation and its
flag, to the maintenance of a sound
currency system. and to the principles
of protection and reciprocity.
